Collaboration, Water cooler chats it's all bullshit. Cut through the fat and you find C-Suites need to justify the millions being spent on Real estate.


Fight back by sending your own Robot to the call duh... Take the job description and your resume as context into the interview, have your LLM listen to the interview questions in real time and spit out responses to their questions.


Yep, huge business opportunity here


Jeffrey Goldberg mentioned in an interview with MSNBC his Signal Alias was "JG." I wonder if JD Vance goes by JD?


I absolutely cannot fucking stand in-video advertisements/sponsorship segments. I wrote a chrome extension a while back that just feeds the transcript to an LLM and gets the start/end time of the sponsored segment, then just skips it in the video.


SponsorBlock?


For those who don't know, SponsorBlock skips segments based on crowd-sourced timestamps. You can also (optionally) mark/skip intros, outros, like/subscribe begging, etc.

No, it's called Sponsor Slice. I'm debating even putting it on the chrome store, it was a fun little side project for me, but I think it will be expensive to run (using gpt-4.0-mini). Also I don't think people will like the idea of sending me the ID's of the videos they are watching, but who knows, maybe if they dislike sponsored segments as much as I do they would be willing.

This is really cool, I've always liked the idea of being super close to hardware, like being able to visually inspect it, walk around it like it's your kitchen or something, and make modifications to it. Something akin to walking downtown NYC or any big city


Off topic but somewhat related... As of late, I've really enjoyed watching FPV racing drone footage on YouTube. And it's made wonder - if commercial drones currently on the market are capable of this:

What do you get when you have a multi-billion dollar defense budget and some of the best engineers on the planet?


Also check out Dutch drone shows. Amazing co-ordination among hundreds of drones.

A huge waste.


I don't think 80 years of global peace and safe international trade have been a huge waste.


> 80 years of global peace and safe international trade

Sorry but that's a rather myopic take. A significant portion of the world would claim they've experienced nothing of the sort.


Nothing on the scale of WWII.


Hey, we can have both huge waste and 80 years of global(ish) peace with safe(ish) international trade.


Did you get that history lesson from a Raytheon marketing brochure?


An UFO?


If I was a three letter agency, which I'm not. I'd be interested in conducting a covert operation to glean data on Github repositories, sort of like a mass-code surveillance tool. The likes of this idea sparks my curiosity - but who I am kidding, this could never happen. GitHub is a secure and reliable corporation owned by Microsoft.


Quite interesting indeed. I'm most interested in the submarines and technology involved in performing such operations. How do they operate? what modifications are needed? what computing platforms do they possess? That being said, I really like the idea of submarine super computing platforms. Not because it brings to life the inner Tom Clancy, but knowing that a small part of the idea may present some kind of practical utility in the world of clandestine operation.


These are submarine cables (that is, cables installed under the sea) not cables installed or used by submarine boats.


How are submarine cables installed?


By surface ships. Near shore they use a towed plough to bury the cable, away from shore they just unreel the cable and let it lie on the seafloor.


The tapping of this particular cable happens on land with the paid aid of Cable&Wireless.


I've yet to read one mention of sport or the possibility of use in some kind of game. Given the Ubiquity of games that involve round objects - especially in the British Isles, something like would seem like a natural progression of sorts.


I began trail running about a month ago, nothing excessive but enough to break into a decent sweat and send my heart rate up. One thing I've taken away from this is the extasy and clarity of mind experienced post-run is truly fascinating. What's better and I say this to you Anecdotally, was the almost recursive Impetus of ideas that began to flow to me in the latter hours of the day.
