Speaking from a decent amount of experience given that this (#1, #2, #4) is exactly how Notion product development worked early on, this works fine at small scale. It works horribly at medium-to-large scale. Why?. #1. As the number of things a company works on grows,.

Smart move for Lattice. Bundling and consolidation is the name of the game in HR tech for at least the next few years.

AI tutoring for kids learning to read, using evidence-based methods / science of reading, 100% needs to exist in this world. Teachers simply don't have the time to give every child the help they need. Millions of children could get lifted up by this. Cheers @jwdanner & team!.

Tips to identify text created by AI:.* LLMs love to use extra sentences at the beginning and end of paragraphs (& passages) that summarize, without much value. * LLMs seem to write the opposite of the way Earnest Hemingway did. They're long-winded and not casual. Lots of filler.

I tried out Threads. Their (current) strategy is not going to work. Picture-sharers and text-writers started self-selecting into separate apps >10 years ago. There's some overlap, but not much. So, creating a pipeline of known picture-sharers into a text-writing app?.

We need more "ivy league" supply. It's going to be difficult to get the ivy league to expand itself with more uni's. Why doesn't someone create a university alliance designed to compete with it?. Won't be easy, won't be overnight, but the sooner it starts. .

This video is incredibly inspiring. “Do you view this season as a failure?”. “There is no failure in sports… only steps to success. You’re asking the wrong question.”.

This search was a question that likely has a single factual answer, not tied to recent events. ChatGPT beat the others by a mile. It gave me a quick answer that was accurate, with a good explanation. Bing & Google were similar; I couldn't find the answer quickly.

From here on out, I'm going to try all of my searches in Google, Bing, & ChatGPT. Over time, I'll post each search here as a reply in the thread, until I receive a signal on either.1) one of them being clearly better than the others or.2) trends on when to use one vs another.
