Years are made of months … Good read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

More than just a good read, that’s one of the project/programming Ten Commandments.

Can’t tell you how many times over the decades I’ve had to argue with project managers about that.

The title of the post matches the title of the article, this isn’t a case of a poster editorializing.

I’m going to call b.s. on that one. I read the article. And so did others.

Edit: From the comment I initially replied to…

The article’s title does not match the content.

And how you replied to me replying to the above …

The title of the post matches the title of the article

I’m talking about the body of the text of the article vs its title, the same as the person that I replied to. I don’t care about the ‘red herring’ assertion you are making.

And while we are at it, the article title doesn’t match the body of the article itself.

I get how you want to ‘Kill the Messenger’ and diminish my rep here, but don’t be so literal/pedantic, and goal post moving.

The article’s title does not match the content. I read it and it does not talk about how Musk controls Trump. It talks about retaliation for those organizing protests against Tesla.

Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.

After 5PM stop looking for a fix, start looking for a stopping point and write up some notes to review when you’re fresh again.

Hot Take Incomming…

No. My best successes were when I stayed on point and pushed through the fatigue and solved the problem. Taking a ‘go to bed and come back to the office fresh’ type of break would inevitably set me back, as I would have to pick up my train of thought again, to get back “into the zone” of the problem and solving it. Its another form of an interruption while you are trying to concentrate, and can interrupt an ‘Eureka!’ moment in problem solving.

It truly sucks having to work the extra hours, and if the project management is so bad that you’re doing it all the time, then you need to find other work, but sometimes, ‘sticking it out’ is the solution to the problem, finishing what you started.

Having said that, if I’ve pushed through the fatigue multiple times in multiple hours, so that its super hard to push again, THEN that would be the point where I walk away from the problem for the evening. Its not an either/or thing, but its definately stick around and try to solve longer than the advice I’m replying to would suggest.

One last thing. The above advice was given by someone who spent most of their career self-employeed and working an hourly rate. You’re expected to solve the problems others can’t because you’re getting paid more, and your time is compensated accordingly to the amount of work you are putting in. If you are a salaried employee, especially one who is low paid, I would then advise you to consider other things than strict professionalism, like QoL issues vs compensation gained, etc.

From the article…

But while many think that YouTube’s system isn’t great, Trendacosta also said that she “can’t think of a way to build the match technology” to improve it, because “machines cannot tell context.” Perhaps if YouTube’s matching technology triggered a human review each time, “that might be tenable,” but “they would have to hire so many more people to do it.”

That’s what it comes down to, right there.

Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it’s obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

Also, this is my new signature line, so thanks.

You’re welcome. I appreciate you helping out with normalizing signature lines.

Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.

Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.

It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.

That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.

Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.

For many many years even low end Android phones can perfectly run emulated game systems that came out a decade or two after atari, so cpu probably isn’t a bottleneck at all

Yeah, I kind of agree, but I just threw it out there as a possibility, as maybe their code base is really bad and non-performant.

From the article…

It did manage, however, to release a truly bizarre app for iOS and Android devices that requires two smartphones or tablets to work. One device displays the game and the other acts as a controller. It’s a weird idea and, according to Kotaku, “one janky piece of crap.”

The only reason I can think of them doing that is maybe because of CPU overutilization?

Either that, or they wanted to set one up as a game server, and then have multiple phones be the clients. They just forgot to add the feature to let the server run locally on the client.

because its stock continues to skyrocket behind the exciting news that AI will continue to be shoved into every aspect of all of its products until morale improves,

Okay, I have to admit, this made me laugh. Definitely commentary, but still, a good read.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t the person who effectively “owns” the content you produce on Lemmy and has the right to license it be the person who runs the instance your account is signed up to?

No. The TOS does not claim ownership of the content being posted.

Creative Commons solves a particular problem for us – how to encourage republication at scale without tying up staff in negotiating deals and policing unauthorized uses. We’ve found it an invaluable aid in building our publishing platform, in reaching additional readers, and in maximizing the chance that the journalism we publish will have important impact.

You need to stop pointing at ProPublica as if you’re copying them, because you aren’t.

I am though. Its showing a justification that a post/comment can be licensed. I mean, by default all content is already licensed, I’m just licensing mine with a more restrictive license to prevent commercial usage.

The reason people are annoyed by you is because it amounts to spam.

Its not spam, it has a purpose. Its not advertising.

It could be client specific as well.

And yes, if a client can’t support subscript/superscript fonts, per Lemmy’s formatting instructions, then the user needs to contact the devs of their client, to fix that problem.

ProPublica didn’t post that to Lemmy, they publish to their own site. Someone else (PirateJesus) copy-pasted their article and posted it here.

That article is licensed by ProPublica though, with that Creative Commons license. Its just being noted in the Lemmy post, per these instructions.

Per ProPublica, including a Creative Commons license in your post/comments is a valid thing to do, when sharing their articles. You can’t hand-wave that away, citing the license in which an article is being shared as part of the post/comment is a valid thing to do.

Nobody with a cringey sovereign citizen boomer-type signature on each of their comments gets to remark on anyone else’s peculiarities 😅

Doesn’t seem to be a ‘cringy sovereign citizen boomer-type signature’ for ProPublica: https://lemmy.world/comment/9850401

Edit: Here’s a great Ask Lemmy from a few weeks ago all about this https://lemmy.ml/post/15152684

If you are going to include that link, you should also include this one, which shows that ProPublica does the same thing: https://lemmy.world/comment/9850401

What on earth is that link at the bottom of your comment? Are you…licensing it?

Holy shit, guy with a stutter and a long and storied history of misstatements and malapropisms says something incorrect. News at 11:00, folks!

It’s more like following breadcrumbs to the edge of a cliff.

If you don’t look up and look around, and see the whole picture, and instead just continue to follow the breadcrumbs, you’ll fall down into the chasm.

Mental cognitiveness is a valid thing to judge someone by, when you’re voting for them.

From reading the article it definitely seems like there was some attitude being given to the judge.

From the article…

“If you don’t like my ruling, you don’t say ‘jeez,’ and you don’t say ‘strike it,’ because I’m the only one who can strike testimony in court,” Merchan said.

That seems like someone else besides the Director yelling “Cut!”, when making a movie.

I think it will be impossible for us to asses how much it actually impacts function in real world use case.

Does seem fair though to say that if you have 85% less data input/probes, that you’re losing some to a large amount of fidelity, than an algorithm can only make up so much for.

A potentionally bad analogy, but think of it as a high bitrate versus a low bitrate, for listening to music. The quality of the music will be notably different, but you would still be able to hear both of the songs in their entirety.

At the end of the day, it’s a lack of data that was originally expected for the algorithm to work with, that is now missing.
