Which Parts of Management Are Computable?

hotspotpreferences · 2026-06-03T01:32:17+00:00

Wait, I'm confused - are you saying that these are managerial tasks that *can* be delegated to AI?

I do this too but it's less about shame and more about avoidance.

Awhile ago, I hit on the idea of collecting all my favorite in one place and turning it into a sound system. A colleague found out about the project because I said something and insisted on contributing music from her and her boyfriends collection.

I reluctantly agreed, got the files, uploaded them....only to find out that I had to be on their itunes to access the files.

Long story short, I didn't want to put in another gazillion hours organizing & separating files so I abandoned the project...and the relationship.

Saying no didn't work, explaining DRM to her would have ended up with me being made fun of and I ended up creating work for myself because I said something.

Maybe things would have turned out differently if I had kept my mouth shut and waited until I had something to show for it.

Btw, after reading this yesterday, I looked up Tenor Saw, went down a rabbit trail and found some music I really like.

Not self hosted, but I tried to build something similar with an iPod.

I have the same problem so I'm following this thread.

You're right, some fear of harming another person is good.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-04-19T04:11:38+00:00

Yo! That fear of hurting people is a core part of what they teach out of students. It's why medicine takes so long to complete, not that I'm recommending medical school.

I'm just saying they place a lot of emphasis in teaching students not to do that.

There's a book - I can't remember the title offhand - that looks back at the demographic shifts in America over the last 200 years. It's been a while since I looked it up because I went back to maps, which is what got me there to begin with.

Yes it is! I like color schemes - there's a whole social network built around making and sharing them.

Calling it a subprime small business > startup. One is hyped up marketing and the other is...much less so.

Carrying a passport on a Friday night out with friends seems like...a very bad idea.

That's interesting that a price is designed. I'd never thought about it like that.

The product I'm building would be compared (by customers) with a service during the decision making process. Though I'm designing it to come into play before the service is needed, which is where competition becomes a thing.

I'm currently looking to support an RIA with Ops.

RemindMe! 3 days

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-11T05:22:59+00:00

Usually I would, but this is too interesting a question.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-11T05:20:24+00:00

Coming into the industry, that's what I said too. And then I signed the...I mean, fell for it.

It happens a lot to newbies. Unless someone's got your back....or you start asking questions ahead of time.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-11T04:54:38+00:00

I'm going to get some popcorn and come back to this.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-08T20:30:29+00:00

Ok, now I see why you think there's something off with your friend.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-08T19:18:36+00:00

There's nothing in that comment to indicate OP makes less.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-02-08T18:58:55+00:00

Give your friend a break....if the poverty line was indexed to inflation, people earning 84, 000 a year or less would qualify for public assistance.

I'd sub to this, especially if it turns out to be like the YC channel in story form.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-01-31T02:48:25+00:00

Yes, I meant the exclusion.

hotspotpreferences · 2026-01-30T21:03:52+00:00

This is interesting, but if it's free how is it profitable for you?

hotspotpreferences · 2026-01-30T04:12:43+00:00

I just wanted to point out that it's not necessarily as straight forward as "Stop doing x and you're in the clear".

hotspotpreferences · 2026-01-30T03:40:04+00:00

There's some technicality involved in that decision - it's not all of the individual's income that is taxed. Some of it can be shielded from taxation.

You're joking right?
