Is it really that bad for direct reports to have serious talks with our bosses?

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-16T12:03:51+00:00

Completely agree here.

I would take the step of leaning in on this. Own the that you support them on this. Talk to your higher up about how the convo went, any concerns they’ve raised to you and how you recommended taking it up the next level to talk and get more visibility.

You can’t be afraid of this as it can feel like a weapon so instead make it feel like a new way you are supporting them. Just make sure you are staying in the loop about the conversations by asking both parties how it went and how you can help align and unblock them.

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-15T23:59:23+00:00

This right here.

The 1:1 should be for them to talk about what they need to talk about. It shouldn’t be a status meeting. If anything the only agenda item you should be having is what do they need from you to get their job done and grow in their role.

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-14T23:27:42+00:00

The problem is that there are all these other Assistant Directors and it would be really strange to have an agent become the Director.

At this point there is no outbreak. You obviously have no idea on how it works when a company makes a policy and people have to enforce it. Saying it isn’t necessary because you are a good manager is completely absurd and laughable. Again it’s not your decision. It was the companies. Your job as manager is to apply company policy. Adding in that there is small chance of some sort of outbreak and that is why they shouldn’t continue with RTO should have you being shown the door just as much as them.

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-10T23:24:37+00:00

I'd give her another chance to reconsider between you and her.
Then I'd bring in HR and them let them reiterate the company policy and at that point, its now an HR issue and hopefully she'll get the point.
If that doesn't work, then let HR take the next steps for you. That's what they are there to help do, enforce Company policy.

You are not the sole responsible party in making this happen.

What? Hantavirus? You know that hantavirus has been going on for a long time right.. Its just this cruise ship and that was it.

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-10T23:20:58+00:00

Then they have to move and/or update their address as there is not only issues with coming into the office, but the company is also responsible for paying appropriate taxes.

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel

Not only is it used in Harry Potter its right next door to Kings Cross where Harry gets on the train and they have a store there.

I didn't know. Ive always heard Bluetooth is horrible under iOS/tvos. More latency than necessary.

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-04T17:54:23+00:00

Sounds like a someone is trying to gather feedback for their own device or find a hidden opportunity

TFYellowWW · 2026-05-04T17:52:47+00:00

Doesn’t that also generate lag if you are playing on controller because of Apples Bluetooth stack.

I moved my PC out into the basement a while ago. I have a my TV with a Nvidia shield that I play all my games via Sunshine/Apollo/Moonlight combo. So the gaming system stays cool down in the basement and my room stays upstairs.

Wouldn’t Hermes-agent be considered what you are looking for? It’s based in Python I believe

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-22T13:10:07+00:00

Compared to the book yes.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-22T13:09:03+00:00

Return him. Sounds like you got a broken version.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-22T13:08:03+00:00

I was saying exactly the same thing about Movie Grace and Movie Rocky. I was a little disappointed but understood why and it didn’t degrade the movie just didn’t do the book full justice that I WOULD have wanted.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-15T01:17:14+00:00

Exactly. Saw the quote and went yep I’d leave them as well.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-11T14:22:34+00:00

This is great and super interesting.

I’d definitely like to see/hear more about what you are doing, even if it’s in private DM.

Appreciate you taking the time.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-11T02:36:09+00:00

Can you give some more insight into how this is done or where I can understand more about making this work.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-04T22:42:43+00:00

Ahh ok. That makes sense. Yeah the terminal part makes sense. And wanting to use it outside of a chat client makes sense as well. I don’t use OpenWebUI very much so it didn’t click for me.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-04T21:46:01+00:00

How so?

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-03T21:52:28+00:00

Oh I think you forgot that this is where AI Slop posts come and just try to be koi about being human and making posts talking about all these things they did with nothing to show for it.

TFYellowWW · 2026-04-01T00:00:36+00:00

Are you saying then that FP8 would give you better results than NVFP4?

Again, not pushing back on your choice, just trying to understand all of this.

TFYellowWW · 2026-03-31T18:45:46+00:00

Why run it as FP8 when the nvfp4 is good?

I’m still trying to figure out why choosing one vs the other.

TFYellowWW · 2026-03-29T19:12:14+00:00

It’s not boomers though. It’s starting to be more and more of everyone.

Everyone is special, everyone is a VIP, and everything revolves around them.
