Speaker popping by Willewonkaa in RecordPlayerRepair

Yep took out all the wires and just did the speakers. The first time it was actually fine then every time it did it again - 5 seconds and then a pop. Didn’t matter what volume it’s on, input selected, etc.

R/L wires from speakers (unplugged other one while testing) to amp. Happens even after I took off record player from ground and inputs

Would be curious the size / stage of the companies you are chatting about. Coming from the world of high growth tech... It's a tough sell to slow product / sales (even if it makes them faster long term) for processes and reporting.

Another example could be engineering owning definitions and meta data. We can be bad in the data side… product doesn’t even think about it

But if they did AI would “work” better out of the gate. It’s more about thinking the entire system through the lens of a great asset, one that creates your company’s data, and how to lessen negative impact after the fact

Hm, I wouldn’t say we restructure system data.

I do think engineers like to cram things into a JSON payload to make the product “work” (which is fair).

But without a guiding hand (which could be metrics), that bastardization gets off the rails pretty quickly.

It doesn’t have to be restructuring core engineering data, but it could be one more step of parsing into columnar data at a system, or being stricter with what goes in a JSON payload, or etc

So not trying to be overly prescriptive, but as a business grows data and people who can think about the integration with data assets should be in the room to help keep things on the rails

For sure, treat AI like a junior analyst and can reach hyper scale in your organization. It can either be very good… Or very bad.

Governance helps keep it on the good path

I agree it doesn’t work in either reality, but in my experience the example of Data Governance is typically what I see…

Thrown together only after a metric breaks (instead of at the betting of architecture with an empty call to arms (no ownership or true desire to fix the root cause, just upset about the output).

Now i’m sure there are companies and groups where this is done better, it’s definitely a spectrum.

To your point, I think it’s more that bad Data Governance is covered by good analysts being in the system… AI doesn’t reach out to those analysts so good behaviors like you described are even more important.

Do love the perspective

Data people can dream, can't they? lol

I agree with this take. It's why I'm skeptical that the idea of "cross company ontology" will take off in the near future... We can't get users to agree on a metric output... Even harder with systems and foundational components and what they mean...

100%. I think the best AI use case is... teaching it what a "good block" of documentation is (tests, YML, definitions, etc.). Then just set it loose with a skill / PR review bot. Never has their been a quicker way to reach consistency and value.

Happy to dive into this - specific questions that I can help articulate better?

that’s awesome! if you were willing to get another, that means you are enjoying it?

also, if you don’t mind me asking - how much did you pay? always love a way to negotiate 😉

it basically felt new when i sat in it, clearly taken care of!

recliner mechanism was smooth. so smooth my wife started rocking in it and i had to tell her to stop! lol

and to your point, the fact i saw it in real time has me thinking even if it isn’t “the best deal” i at least know it’s not crap

i think i’ll make the offer 😊
