I like the system that some coding bootcamps employ where they take a percentage of the first years of working wages. This would be a way to discern the value of your degree quite accurately. It would align the universities' and students' interests.

Besides this, I also agree to the 200+ upvotes, system is broken y'all!

This is cool! I've also used tesseract OCR and found it to be pretty amazing in terms of speed and accuracy.

I use it for ingest of image and pdf type files for my own website chatting tool: tinydesk.ai!

I run the backend on an express js server so all js as well.

Smaller docs I do on the client side, but larger ones (>1.5mb) I've found take forever so those process in the backend.

ChatGPT is unreliable with websites and uploaded content. TinyDesk helps you organize your files while still being able to chat with them using ChatGPT. Check out my custom agent.

Please give me feedback or suggestions for things to improve. Hope some people are able to find use of this!

From the article: "The big kids quickly learned to punch the little ones in the face and take their stuff. Elon, who was small and emotionally awkward, got beaten up twice. He would end up losing ten pounds.

The second time Elon went to veldskool, he was about to turn sixteen. He had gotten much bigger, bursting up to six feet with a bearlike frame, and had learned some judo. So veldskool wasn't so bad. "I realized by then that if someone bullied me, I could punch them very hard in the nose, and then they wouldn't bully me again..."

The story was revealed in the recently released book: "Elon Musk" by Walter Isaacson

I think in the future, zuck is hoping it's the metaverse.

Currently, for me, it's been hiking trails, quiet cafes, and bookstores where I can be in public, but generally avoid large crowds and if there are interactions they're most likely one on one.

This system makes sense on a fundamentals level, but something to also consider is the synergy principle (1+1=3) where some tasks, when coupled together, could potentially be bumped from optimizer to game changer (or bumped from tweak).

Great visuals though, made the system super easy to comprehend.

independent modular systems make it a lot easier to build stuff inside of such a large company

Yep this is definitely true. I sort of saw it as a two birds kind of situation. I wasn't privy to the reasons for c suite decisions but imo they are definitely cognizant of regulatory concerns.

Amazon has been cognizant of this[antitrust risk] for a while now I believe. The internal systems are all set up to run independently, most systems are modular and already run as separate entities with permissioned access.

Proof: worked as an SDE for AWS and Amazon for 7 yrs.
