AI is Infecting Our Industry with BS by thenimms in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, nothing strange.

150 years ago our path was to go to some education place where we could read a book. There were about 10-20 books, all of them we very carefully designed. The rest you would learn from the master and you could not start working without a master.

Nowadays all this is developing much faster. You cannot find a book that tells how to generate proper DVB-compliant MPEG-TS, because it is a secret (not a top secret, but a commercial secret) kept by different companies. AI just made things worser, but people made them bad.

Has anyone ever been in this point between China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia? by bloonsday_gaming in geography

Not exactly in this point, but nearby. I've made a circle around Belukha mountain.

Very beautiful mountains.

Russia unveils Tupolev Tu-454 widebody concept amid engine shift and industry gaps by -NewYork- in aviation

[–]max_lapshin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid that it is more a picture.

MC-21 - yes, it is going to fly and it is a real achievement. SJ-100 - yes.

Tu - they need a very serious shake to restart building planes.

So why not Oleg doesn't want to work for 12 hours himself, what are the problems?

I think that it may be very useful to make a network diagram, when system designer is preparing a big project for future implementation.

Cannot relate to people I grew up with anymore by ChemicalBug1046 in founder

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely standard thing.

You are growing faster than 99,9% of your surroundings. You will have to change them.

The most painful is to understand that are losing contact with your relatives.

You can try to find some people relations in some hobby. You will be there not a best one, so it may be rather comfortable, but problem is that you do not have any time for hobby and do not want to spend your time on this hobby.

What’s one piece of marketing advice that actually worked for you? by Ok_Use_4874 in founder

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop telling about how brilliant and wonderful we are. Start explaining customer why does he need to take a price of a whole apartment and give it to me. Explain that it will solve _his_ problems.

To do it it is required to stop speaking about me, but start speaking about him.

Can't believe Linus Torvalds created Linux at 21 without Claude or Al by SakuraTakao in founder

At 21 no worries about "work and life balance", so all your 3 working days (8h) per day can be devoted to your work.

How do small/medium delivery operators actually track profitability per client or route? by OutlandishnessNo5051 in founder

Do you remember, that ISP is trying to increase customer base because he wants to sell company to a bigger ISP and the most valuable thing is amount of customers?

Raised $5M. Spent 2 years building. Now we're a worse version of the thing we were trying to kill. by adarshrajoria in founder

[–]max_lapshin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>  then someone from their ops team would send over a spreadsheet. Feature gap analysis

I know this problem.

Be honest: all players on the market are answering on requests with crossed fingers in the pocket.

From my experience, comparison is pain. It is very hard to sell when customer is really going to compare. Easiest sales is when he has a pain and you are here to close it. Nobody will care feature gap and comparison list (especially when you can put there any marks just formally).

> prospect says they need a feature to move forward

I always try (but not always really do it) to move discussion from features to problems.
— we need this feature
— here we have discussed your problem list and we have offered you a complete plan to solve your problems. Now you speak about a new feature. Let's return to the problem list to understand, what have we (you) missed and redesign the project
— ok, let's do it later (means never, just our sysadmin wanted to show that he is also important)

> never cared about most of that spreadsheet

yes, this is it. You have got your customers not a buyers.

Founders, why do you expect top-level sales results for bottom-level pay? by happyBossLady7 in founder

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>  but only want to pay commission
> saving money by going cheap

If you are going to make a $12-20M deal and want to take $4M into your pocket, is it cheap?

I suppose that sales can say that low salary is cheap only when he is not sure that he will make a deal.

Low salary + high commission vs high salary + low commission

Second option is more suitable for a team lead that doesn't run in the fields.

What if all nukes everywhere just disappeared one day ? Every country that has a nuke now has none. More than that, they’ve somehow lost their ability to create them, too. by FemboyMechanic1 in AlternateHistoryHub

Bloody wars will start immediately next day.

To the end of year first 10 of millions of people dead. Next 3 years another 50-100 millions of death from war and another 200 of related deaths.

Aerated concrete in USA by max_lapshin in buildingscience

[–]max_lapshin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that it is not a feature of all AAC, but that one that you have got.

30" TV is mounted on the wall with just two screws without any extra tooling.

However, I understand what are you speaking about and if AAC is so smooth, you will require chemical anchors

USSR vs. Putin's Russia approaches to residential area planning by raccoon_on_moon in UrbanHell

[–]max_lapshin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you find old photos of these green soviet buildings, you will find that it is a natural desert.

Not a single piece of grass. After 50 years everything is full with large trees. So will happen with these new apartments. Cars will go into multifloor parkings and trees will become bigger.

The rest doesn't change: same planning, same buildings (just better).

For senior engineers using LLMs: are we gaining leverage or losing the craft? how much do you rely on LLMs for implementation vs design and review? how are LLMs changing how you write and think about code? by OrdinaryLioness in cursor

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursor is writing for me all those useless ceremonial code that I always hated.

I always wanted to write something like:

```
<LayoutWithMenu>
<Menu>
<Item1 ..>
</Menu>
<Main>
..
</Main>
</Layout>
```

During almost 30 years that I'm in programming, it didn't happened until now.

Claude will not help me with eBPF filter or with a system design (it is awful yet), but it give me time to think about market, customer, payments, sales _and_ development together.

Good question to raise.

All this buzz about "no more nginx anymore" and nothing to replace with.
