Sorry to be the devil's advocate (just call me Beelzebub ... sung like Queen [1])

There may be other factors. Hiring is complex. They could have judged tbis fairly and they may have had a better candidate. Having a project like this should probabilistically increase your chances.

The original ftp dropbox comment was about usefulness rather than success IMO. They were saying why is this needed.

With the conraption here. It is not useless, sure, but that is not a high enough bar to use resources to manufacture it or for there to be a market for it. Other than someone mentioned geek consumerism.

The problem is the word "know" being overloaded.

First person know is belief. To some extent: this is just faith! Yes we have faith that the laws of physics wont change tomorrow, or we remember yesterday happened etc. Science tries to push that faith close to fact by verifying the fuck out of everthing. But we will never know why anything...

The other "know" is some kind of concept of absolute truth and a coincidence that what someone belives matches this. Whether that coincidence is chance or astute observations or in the paper's case: both.

It is a fascinating topic. I spent a few hours on it once. I remember vaguely that the logic is very configurable and you had a lot of choices. Like you choose law of excluded middle or not I think, and things like that depending on your taste or problem. I might be wrong it was 8 years ago and I spent a couple of weeks reading about it.

Also no suprise the rabbit hole came from Haskell where those types (huh) are attracted to this more.foundational theory of computation.

The scary thing is excellent advances in all the other AI/ML need to fake people: text to speech and back, yolo, video generation. The illusion might become the reality. We need a few generations to die (100 years time?) before we will shake of this need to even be human! Who is going to say no to a perfect memory implant. Now a never get dementia implant. And so on! Finally what is the cow even?

Wot. Everyone has an old throwaway?

That is great. How do you even handle the daily divergence that must happen due to micro decisions made by various APIs. For example I wont mention their name but one OpenAI compatiable provider doesn't fully work with OpenAI client and had various holes so you need to account for that. The other hard thing is just the fast pace of AI. What if the underlying concepts change!

Well done!

Depends what you mean by busy. I use the "free" designation option to plan work in my shared calendar. I am busy but I am also free for a meeting if needed. In server parlence this might be an async batch processing job.

Peope who do 0.8 hours work and collect a full time salary while playing golf and pretending they do 8 are rare I suspect.

This is probably devops. A single team talking full responsibility and swapping oncall-type shifts. These guys know their dogfood.

You want the defensive team to work on automating away stuff that pays off for itself in the 1-4 week timeframe. If they get any slack to do so!

Conkers are just cool things. Like unwrapping a present to get a perfect little gift.

Yes. Usually conkers were banned at school. So we had to play space invaders, for which you need a tennis ball not an Atari.

I might be doing the famous "just use ftp" to dropbox. But I highly doubt it for this product.

People are conflating the problem space and this solution.

This doesn't let you do deep work! Probably the opposite, it is a gimmick that will attract a nerd mob to your desk to ooh over it.

Slightly disagree.

Needing the managers permission is more of a "wartime" mode.

For peacetime the management should set a culture of peer review and data and logic driven discussion. The culture would ideally have a Rust lover sit there and think "would love to do this in Rust but...." because they know their peers will be affected by this decision.

The problem with management approval required is it usually meams no or bias towards management pressures. A management veto that is occasionally used may be better.

Disclosure: not a Rust programmer but pretty neutral on it. It is on my radar if I get a problem Node or Go can't solve.

For context, we are replying to a comment putting that marketing into question. Therefore the "RTFA" card is not in your deck to play. (I say with a tongue in cheek tone: no flamewar intended!)

In particular GP said:

For colleagues, after the first month or so, everyone will pretty much find the best way to approach others. If you still need a device for that, then there’s a problem in communication that you need a persistent device all the time.

I think I agree. Back in 2003 my boss said "when my headset is on I am busy". He had to remind everyone a few times. But that worked.

You have not said what the market is. Recording studios have a solution. And probably don't use pomedero. And the reason for the indicator I assume is to stop people barging in and stop people saying silly stuff thinking their off air so it needs to be inside and outside the room.

So who is this device for again?

Easy fix. Call the person when tbey are on a call. If engaged tbey will be engaged. Then move that person to a house in the suburbs where their kids bappen to also live.

Running under capacity is considered a sin for humans. However it is fine for a server (good for burst performance!).

In the monitor screenshot it occured to me that you need to choose back or front. But in most open offices you will probably need a 360 dispaly. A circle design that scrolls might work.

Also pomedero breaks are also busy. Having a break is something. Being interupted during that break is no better than being interuppted during the work part.

The scam was sophisticated and unfortunately most banks are not sophisticated. They call you up and expect you to give them loads of personal details because tbey have some upsell for you. They train people to be scammed. They should instead call and tell you to call them back at their official telephone number.

Shit almost 0.1% of money deposited to Revolut is defrauded.

This problem goes beyond banks to the very core of all we do. How do you know you are talking to a real coworker on zoom?

Maybe governments will create real digital IDs and ubikey like devices and also backed up by phone 2fa etc. The more accounts you need to hack to impersonate someone the harder these attacks will be.

What if scale is easier. Digital ocean app service is way easier to set up than a droplet. Easier to deploy to too and monitor. And same price (ok you don't get persistent storage in that)

It is soo cheesy. The crab is even pulling a YT thumbnail face.

Or the dev wants more money

I am of the opinion that curl is better simply because you are already in the command line. You can use vim fzf or bash with it. Also curl will be the same on the day you die.

(քաք) sure looks cute though

I think you could bundle online search and LLM, offline (personsal) search and LLM and it would make 10-20 bucks a month attractive. Why just do internet search. Be my search for everything!

I think it should be free or cheaper for people who genuinely cant afford it to give the equity of access that Google does.
