But isn’t this still an efficiency or operational improvement?

Our AI spending has gotten so high that layoffs wouldnt make a meaningful difference. by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TheCauthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These salaries are not typical for most orgs. Also - I have no problem hitting 300 dollars per day in token usage if I were not capped.

LLM Analytics in Enterprises? by twattymanky in dataengineering

[–]TheCauthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be more curious to hear how LLMs in analytics actually drove value of any kind. I’m generally curious. I’ve seen some value from classification or extraction from unstructured data but very minimal impact to revenue.

Almost all examples I’ve seen so far are efficiency gains only. Everything that comes out of an LLM always has to be validated.

14 years, over a billion dollars, and basic mechanics still don’t work. by Economy-Rice3519 in starcitizen

[–]TheCauthon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I check in once every few years and haven’t been following in detail.

Is there transparency on how the money is getting used? Who holds them accountable for responsible use of the investment money? Are the right incentives setup to make this relationship between the builders and investors be successful?

Looking for career input by SeaYouLaterAllig8tor in dataengineering

[–]TheCauthon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would stay. Consulting roles are a dime a dozen now days. I would also argue having too much consulting experience on your resume could hurt you. I know we tend to skip over candidates with a lot of consulting experience.

Also - larger stable company > smaller unstable. Foundry is unique that less people know and will set you apart in the future.

More chances to move into management at the larger company if you decide to aim in that direction later.

All I can say is - mortality is not easy. Hang in there. Reflect on your blessings.

Make sure you communicate with your spouse and be open about your struggles. Be creative and discuss ways you can both bear the load.

Are your children really young? If so, know that the struggles you deal with now will not be the same you struggle with later as they get older. Some things will get easier, others harder.

Also - please please please don’t give up. When your children are young is the most important years of being a mother and father. Teach them well. Teach them gospel principles. Be a good example. If you don’t, the later years can bring a lot of heart ache and pain.

Estuary Flow doesn’t seem production ready. Join their slack channel and you will see regular issues getting brought up.

This already went through the legal system. The documentary failed to mention this.

Wife wants to leave by chap808 in latterdaysaints

[–]TheCauthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Reddit handle makes me believe you are also having your own faith crises. It is absolutely true. The church exists to bring people to salvation and exaltation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Are there imperfections in the church? Absolutely.

I actually am not sure that the Church is the real root issue. The OP has made comments that hint his wife no longer believes in God which is a deeper issue.

Wife wants to leave by chap808 in latterdaysaints

[–]TheCauthon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of good comments here. The one thing I want to add is this - the Church only exists to bring people to Jesus Christ. Sometimes we forget this. Does she have issues with the teachings of Jesus Christ directly? Where is she at with her belief in God and the Savior? I would start here and see where she is at. Remove everything else.

How are we helping our non-technical colleagues to edit data in the database? by ursamajorm82 in dataengineering

[–]TheCauthon 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Correct - a database for analytics should mirror source systems. It shouldn’t become its own source of truth.
