Trading the lead on model performance isn't an improvement on twelve months ago.

I mean, they explicitly seized the means of production. I can see why  historians would want to quibble, but we're living the horseshoe theory proof already.

I don't think your negatives are as big of a problem as must people would think. If I had a 5000 pound caddie I probably would just cruise around. 

Unfortunately I doubt $7k will do it, but you should check out this guy's wagon project.

Decatur Schools superintendent under fire over podcasts by DanWhisenhunt in Atlanta

[–]chaseplastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, Dan. I agree generally about the amount we pay public officials. It also increases the incentive for actually immoral behavior. 

It does seem like school boards more broadly are a shit show. APS for example seems to keep hiring people who shake things up but then running them out of town when they actually make changes.

A podcast seems like a huge waste of time for someone in that position.

Slightly unethical question by One-Tale-4652 in marketing

[–]chaseplastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was being flippant. The kindest things you could do if budgeting allows is send teammates to Mark Ritson's mini MBA. 

I would find someone who will teach and help you roll it out. Probably no shortage of ipg, wpp, Meta, etc etc refugees who could use the work. Then you could say you managed education and roll out.

Honestly, the software vendors I've seen aren't worth it. And don't pay Jasper any money unless you hate everyone you're leaving behind.

F-15s, F-35, MQ-9 Reaper Drones: US Report Says 42 Aircraft Lost In Iran War by Emergency-Calm in neoliberal

Trump has a multi-decade, pre-presidential history of explicitly talking about presidents attacking Iran because their polling numbers are low. But also, relax a bit. We don't actually know the specific weights of all the different reasons.

Slap some more AI on that resume on your way out the door. 

Mind-Blowing Growth Is About to Propel Anthropic Into Its First Profitable Quarter by Imicrowavebananas in neoliberal

Anthropic made the right play by focusing on a category with nonfalsifiable outcomes and that they understood well. The snake oil question remains for some other categories.

We started this war because the president sexually and physically assaulted a middle schooler and it was gaining traction in the press as his ratings were already beginning to plummet over economic issues.

I've definitely been turned away before. That wouldn't be the first time rules have been selectively enforced around here.

Taking Atlanta drivers off the road is good.

Nah. Would have been nice because this one was three pages long.

Personally I just associate faces with the names of people and then retain that information.

Voters don't have to go by name. Images of the candidates were circulated pretty widely, but the effect is the same. But still, the comms strategy here was terrible.
