I think they will use the reports to start identifying people/areas that they can replace with AI

My hope is that readme’s get updated more since they are in the dev’s face while working in the repo. This only helps with software development though.

I’ve been thinking about that problem. I want to make useful docs that don’t age out so easily. I may try putting detailed readme’s in repos specific to that repo that I then link to in Confluence. Confluence is updated less often and acts more like a collection of references to detailed readme’s.

We already canceled our Sam’s membership and are waiting for it to expire before we get a Costco membership

Jokes on them. I’m a Fed working on AI in a three letter agency and we are actively steering away from any walled gardens. We are opting for solutions where we can use an open source model that we can host ourselves.

That’s cool. I wasn’t arguing that they were the same thing.

I think you meant “wouldn’t”, right? And no, I wouldn’t argue that. I understand your perspective and don’t disagree. I don’t even think you’re wrong. I just think that for the everyday conversation of “what are you reading?” There is zero reason to exclude audiobooks.

“Minimum government, maximum governance” sure sounds like a different way of describing a dictatorship.

Audio and physical books are both communicating the same info through a different medium. A podcast is using the same medium as an audiobook but doesn’t communicate the same info. Of course you wouldn’t say listening to a podcast is reading. You wouldn’t say watching a new station is reading either.

We think language is rigid, but language is created by people and people use it much more loosely. We often mean something different than what we are saying. Sometimes the difference can be subtle. Understanding what people mean is more important than judging the accuracy of their word choice.

I think this is where you get to the heart of the issue and actually show that listening to a audiobook IS actually reading. When someone asks, “what is the last book you read?” They are really asking, “what is the last book you consumed?” “Reading” a book is “consuming” a book.

This whole thread is about Trump and the previous administration’s actions in Israel toward Gaza. You really came off as knowing what were you talking about, but I can see you don’t.

I did not support him. I’m not sure if you were aware, but Biden wasn’t running in this last election

Your performative outrage is impressing no one. Your constant talking down to people is changing nothing. The Palestinians are in more danger today than they were prior to the election. Your “action” changed nothing. It arguably made things worse.

To argue that Biden was the same as Trump is just cope.

Right…. So now that we’ve talked ourselves in circles a few times, tell me what it means when Trump and Israel both want Palestinians out of Gaza but they won’t leave. We are back to genocide except both Israel and the US are in on it now.

This is from Nov 7th. I’m sure they’ve changed their mind now that Trump has announced his plans.

You made it sound like there was progress made with Trump, but now it is the US and Israel trying to evict the Palestinians. So more genocide?

Performative outrage is a great way to describe it

Ok, so Trump says that he will evict them and to your point, they won’t leave. Where does that leave the Palestinians? Are we back to genocide again?

You should ask the Palestinians

No shame and no dunking. Maybe these reminders will help them make better decisions in the future, because all they did was help pave the way for the next Mall of America to be built in Gaza while evicting all the Palestinians.

The thought process is that a narcissistic totalitarian that is pro Israel is going to be far worse for Palestinians and yet there were those who claim to be pro Palestine that helped elect him.

It isn’t about getting it into a DB. It is about getting the documents into a format that the LLMs can better parse and “understand”. Government documents have a ton of “fluff” formatting that can be difficult to deal with. Your DB exp is irrelevant to the discussion of getting data into an LLM

Honestly their question was a good one and they weren’t looking to convert json to excel. They were looking to convert documents into json. As someone who works in a government agency, converting documents (PDF, Word, Excel) into machine readable formats for LLMs to ingest is incredibly powerful.

“71% of leaders say they would rather hire someone less experienced, but with AI skills, than someone more experienced, but without AI skills, according to a 2024 Microsoft study.”

This is kind of like thinking someone who used a calculator while getting a math degree cannot think critically and did not properly earn their diploma. You still learn while using AI and you still have to think critically while using AI. How we learn might change, but it is still learning.

So tell us what you think of us. You aren’t going to attract anyone new to vote Democrat by shaming other Democrats. We are allowed to criticize our own party. It is what separates us from Republicans.

The value of their assets is the sum of all categories, but green is “cash” which I think should be liquid cash on hand. It is probably a combination of deposits and the business’s working capital. If that is the case, then I would be curious to see the sum of all deposits they carry.

Is that cash on hand? I wonder what their cash balance looks like relative to their deposits. Could show how susceptible they are to a run on the bank?
