I went to your site to check this out, and I found the bright orange from the first slide was killing my eyes, and my coworkers. The other landing page slides were great, the first one made me want to leave.
Overall looks like a great tool that I'll look into for my next projects.
For my org, it meant we could trial classifiers across various internal systems with little to no engineering effort. In one case we ended up building our own classifier instead of Jev, but in others we kept Jev because it was zero-effort for a great impact.
But like how often are you gonna do this in general? Why does dev time or effort really matter here when either way you are building something to just, you know, actually use going forward? Its not like one needs to build a new classifier everyday.
Because a lot of people employed as engineers can’t build classifiers. They’re able to glue libraries and tools together, build UIs, and write APIs, but don’t have the curiosity or creative problem solving to learn and master a new domain. Even when “master” is scoped to something like this.
On top, most EMs wouldn’t take a risk on an exploration of something “unknown” (to them) and couldn’t get buy-in from a PM.
I say this as an EM. Interview hundreds of people and, while, yes, some people don’t interview well, you might be shocked at the level of creative thinking. Even when “creative” is narrowly scoped to “this is a solved problem in a related domain.
I guess this makes sense. I am no business guy, but if my product/company was focused on some sort of classification problem, my naive intuition would be to focus on hiring guys that can do it, rather than try to make the problem easier for them. But perhaps at the end of the day this is still cheaper? It's the same reason why we use Postgres instead of hire database experts to build something special?
I agree that every applicant should get a response (probably 2, 1 immediately of “hey, got your application” and a second of “not proceeding” or “we’d like to talk”).
I think one thing that job seekers often miss is just how ridiculous the firehouse of low quality applications is. They know they’re competent, but they can’t accurately estimate how many others aren’t and have built up (or borrowed) machinery that lets them apply to hundreds of job postings per day. That level of noise is what causes things to have to be automated on the inbound side as well and where automated scoring tools or gates before talking to an actual human come from.
I still agree you should get a reply, but the first two are overwhelmingly likely to be automated.
ah. it writes and i edit it. me and Stanley Duckenmiller. it's a way better writer than i am. so is my cousin who is a golf writer for 30 years. so you're correct. i am excellent at editing though :)
Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.
Of course, but the users can’t be trusted to stay away from something designed to addict them.
Only real solution is regulation, although the how is still a big question mark.
I would ask, where is the line drawn between 'enjoyment and addiction.'
Is it the harm provided? Then what do we count as harm, and where is the line.
IE, There's no one stopping me from eating unhealthy, IE sugary foods, which are heavily addictive. I ride a motorbike, and I'd consider myself addicted to that, and it's got a high chance of harm, but we don't ban those. Ditto with gaming, social media, hobby XYZ.
I personally think the freedom to choose your vice is reasonable.
Maybe this freedom sounds reasonable at first. Pew Research says 36% of 13–17 year olds are on social media almost constantly [0]. This is not a problem that existed 20 years ago. The ease of access to highly addictive products is rotting the soul of society.
Instagram definitely doesn't have the option but youtube for instance does, there's a subscription tab that's collecting dust in most people's accounts.
Genuine question, did you put work into distribution so people knew about it first?
I've known a bunch of people who have said 'blogging is dead' but that's often shared with a lack of sharing the work in the first place or sharing it.
Health isn't a 'perfect or your unhealthy' it's much more of a 'Make the better option, most of the time' in which, similar to the original comment, I am quite happy that the chocolate I can have a treat with has less calories but feels identical in levels of being a treat.
I'd pay the same for chocolate bars that were half the size if they were easily available.
But if you want to indulge, there's a lot much much nicer quality treats than a mars bar, that's what I meant. That might be better for you but also a lot tastier.
But tastes differ of course. I love sweets and snacks and I eat too many but I never like the American ones so much. We have a shop nearby that sells American sweets but they are all so heavy on the sugar. Chocolates are too sugary, You can't really taste anything else. And things like nerds have this really strong artificial flavour. But that's personal of course and also what I grew up with.
Overall looks like a great tool that I'll look into for my next projects.
