I’m the owner of a smallish furniture manufacturer. About 15 employees. I built out the order management system myself because nothing really fit our process.
After looking at the site I can’t really say I know how this software could help us. I’ll look at it later on my desktop but first I think some better demo videos or gifs on the landing page would be nice.
yeah, good point. the docs could definitely use some work. check this out if you're interested. it's not complete, but it goes through the software pretty well: https://learn.carbon.ms
i don't know if you build anything custom, but we do have a configurator
I like the idea, but it's really just three summaries each day, which I can get from Google News. Would be nice to have links to the tweets at the very least.
Also the top three stories are most likely what your audience already knows. What people are craving, at least what I'm craving, is something that isn't on my feed everywhere else.
Not to be that guy, tech twitter is already so reductionist in terms of actually quality content. Getting the most popular posts from there is going to be really "fluffy" in terms technical details. For instance how is Elon Musk declaring he's forming a new political party technology related news?
Considering the amount of digitalization in society, more government regulations, etc. I think basic literacy alone does not guarantee you can participate in society effectively.
But in the past, literacy was typically defined as "bare minimum".
It's fine if we want to change it to "sufficiently master language to do a white collar job", but if the standard changes we shouldn't be surprised fewer people meet it.
Well the topic of conversation was AGI. I have a stem phd and I like to think I’m a strong reader, but Gemini pro can analyze/distill pages of text at least as well as I can, and much much faster. It only seems to fail when it doesn’t have relevant data/context.
As someone who isn't particularly religious, but grew up in a religious household, and as someone married to a very religious person (different religions), I believe it's all about outlook.
Religion tends to give you several quite positive beliefs about the world that aren't entirely logical. Things like karma, the golden rule, belief in a plan, etc.
Generally speaking I also believe that religious people are more willing to trust and forgive. These are all pretty positive things.
And finally I believe religious people have a higher sense of duty to others, but the better term is probably responsibilism.
Meh I took a serious left turn after college and my first few jobs. Much happier now.
Work on Capitol Hill for less than a year then tech outsourcing then consulting. Realized it was boring, useless, and mind numbing and moved across the world. Now have multiple businesses, more than 30 employees across those business, and I get to have fun. It's stressful sometimes but I think we've kicked the stress finally (at 37). Now it's just fun and we get to see what we can pull off when we want to.
Most people simply quit or aren't willing to do the uncomfortable things. It's uncomfortable to be unbothered. But I certainly didn't follow my interests. I used my interests to get better at what was in front of us. Gotta pay the bills and give people what they want, I just put my own spin on it.
Do you think your employees are where they are in life because they aren't willing to do uncomfortable things? Or because they follow their interests too much?
This recent article[1] from the economist shows how much of the aid spending around the world just replaces government spending and never creates a system where those countries can stand on their own.
Not always the case but definitely for a lot of aid spending. Where I'm located (Mongolia) aid spending just gives the government an excuse to free up the budget for handouts to get them elected. It's pretty useless.
This exactly. Losing a few things pales in comparison to less mental overhead in every single task I do.
All I do now is keep a notebook with a rolling to do list where I make a new page every day and write what I have to do. Meeting notes also go there if they don't belong in some project files.
The only thing I wish I could do is keep notes from books somehow in an easily referenceable format. Kindle sucks, Obsidian is 180 from TikTok but still brain rot.
