I saw a post claiming that weekly 1-on-1s are bad because they descend into nitpicking sessions.

These are typically signs of a bad manager. A weekly 1-on-1 is a good opportunity for both the manager and report to share context on what’s going on and the report to ask for help.

@jeremydmiller with chatgpt you can edit and reprompt a specific area of the picture, that sometimes works

Do not allow this or anything remotely like it, .

For so many reasons.

NC , a BAN ON WEARING MASKS IN PUBLIC, passes Senate 30-15.

The bill removes an exemption allowing masking for medical reasons.

Republican supporters say it will not criminalize mask wearing for health reasons but Democrats and the state's legislative analyst say it does.

holy shit

yesterday while trail running i came across this fallen tree. it looks like a thick vine wrapped and choked the life out of it, and the storm this weekend finally took it out. i couldn’t easily identify the vine, but whatever

this morning i wake up and i’m breaking tf out with what sure looks like poison ivy rashes.

i came back, and identified the vine as, yep, poison ivy. thick woody 1/3” vines up and down the full tree

A close-up of two green leaves with visible veins and black specks on their surfaces. The leaves are attached to a thin branch with a blurred background of other foliage and tree bark.

i just got it all cleared off the trail. the sawdust smells lemony. i hope that doesn’t mean i breathed in urushiol oil. gonna take a shower, use the poison ivy soap and maybe hit the benedryl again

last night i felt cold and had zero energy. i decided it would be a good idea to take benedryl. i went to sleep at 8, woke up at 7. this morning i’m itchy from poison ivy rashes that i must have gotten yesterday. some zanfel to help with that

poison ivy is my recurring nightmare in this place

It's REALLY weird to me when people in software mine research papers for their content and say "researchers" instead of naming the scientists who actually did the work they're using. We're human beings and our work is our livelihood (at a fraction of yours I might add). Name us.

Blessed for the community around me that has this value, side eye at the content engine that doesn't.

@grimalkina that’s good to know. a lot of times industry works the opposite way, the company allows you to do project X, and a lot of times the individuals aren’t even named

Threads has 100m users, but I mostly interact with the same 20ish people. I keep wondering if there are these other bubbles of data folks in the fediverse but we never meet because they’re outside my Hubble radius.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@matthew_mullins_ imo the fediverse is easier to navigate because you don’t have to fight algorithms. i made my own “algorithm” for mastodon that makes it super easy to find and track content. basically take your existing feed, cluster on AI embeddings to group similar content, and display the labelled clusters https://github.com/tkellogg/fossil

Looks like today I finally found a good application for 's: Learning languages!
I've been attempting to learn through duolingo for a while now, without much success. I figured if there's one thing language models should be good at, it's languages. So far the thing has actually been pretty helpful.

I was looking over some of the new EU AI restrictions, and notably it barred educational institutions and employers from using biometric emotion detection.

This seems fine, but #gpt4o makes this complicated. You can't turn off its emotion detection, it's not even really explicit, but it's very much there. The demo where the person breathes hard and soft is one example, but GPT-V (vision) already showed how it could detect emotion in images and act on that.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@ianbicking it seems like the obvious way to turn it off is to not use audio or vision, right? not a great solution, but it’s only for employers (presumably against their employees) and educators (presumably against their students)

the news is cool, but now i want to see an embedding model that i can use with a streaming interruptible conversation

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

i predict that there’s always going to be strong advantages to using for , but with streaming audio & video of , there’s not enough latency slack for python.

i think a framework will emerge, similar to pyspark, where you can write python code that gets compiled into a steaming plan, and executed as highly optimized low level code with the possibility of python UDFs. i figure it’s still a couple of years from being really usable rn
