I was right about some things, he was right about others. It was not immediately clear which was which. Trying to say "wait that seems wrong" without knowing exactly what or why starts an argument and wastes the time of everyone in the meeting. If I'd just figured out the issue on my own and told the other engineers "oh by the way, we need to do it this way" it would probably have gone a lot smoother.
If you're not part of their industry, just look up the acronyms instead of getting mad. "Audience" is laughable, they are not posting solely for your entertainment.
And my guess is "average hold time." If you use your brain, you can figure most of them out, unless they are adversarially confusing acronyms.
Whenever some soylent-drinking, impossible foods-eating dilettante says "debunked" I find myself not fully believing them. And Supermicro has always been sus. I can't believe people are only just now noticing.
It's not fossilized, it's just that no one uses it. Put hot chicks on there or make it mandatory for logging into Slack and suddenly everyone will be using keybase.io, and honestly I think web of trust is a good idea and if a webapp can make it seem easy or intuitive then I'm all for it.
We're scratching our heads wondering why there's no forward motion when it's simply that no one is pushing it.
They haven't added or really changed anything since the acquisition AFAICT, it's just trucking along exactly as it was the day Zoom bought them out. Twitter account proofs were broken by the API changes years ago and nobody is at the wheel to fix or even just deprecate them.
Yes. Older people do not become less inquisitive and eager to learn, they just become less open to hype as they've seen whatever younger folks think is the new hot idea several times before, just in different shapes and sizes.
However, with AI we're truly seeing something new that we had not seen before (the AI of the 80's, 90's and 2000's was interesting but it never managed to do anything truly generalist - it was mostly able to get good at a very narrow, specific activity, very different from today's LLMs), so I feel just as curious and eager to "learn it" as I was eager to learn, say, Functional Programming in my 20's and Neural Networks in my 30's.
Fluid intelligence peaks early (20s) but crystallized intelligence peaks much later (50s-60s), and it's not like you can't crystallize a desire to continue to learn, even if you're potentially less creative from a raw intelligence perspective.
Then don't. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you use groomer Discord or roblox aka pedoblox. Pedoblox is a fetid swamp of groomers that needs to be nuked from orbit.
