I think you and the parent comment are talking about different scales. A large SaaS company deal could be $300k per month per customer, and the sales process for a company like that can involve changing the software to…
I really like this idea, and would love to subscribe when you’re ready! I think many commenters have pointed out reasons why this model is not suited to widespread user adoption, but I just want to say that may not be a…
I agree; I’ve had multiple instances recently of booking through a third party where getting changes or refunds is very slow and clunky, if they will even do it at all. Contrast that to my experience with booking a…
It’s free to end consumer, but these schemes make money by charging a percentage to merchants. And those merchants will compensate by bumping up their prices a little to cover the transaction costs. In the best case,…
I found this video to be a good explainer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R1JaMRpcDrQ&pp=ygUbQnV5IG5vIHB... It seems like many of them act like credit cards and charge the merchant a percentage, since they “drive…
You seem to be the lucky lightning rod comment on this! I guess it's fitting that the tech world gets particularly up in arms about this; we're certainly a group who enjoys demanding standardization while refusing to…
I've settled on the explanation that this is just a cultural difference, and anyone arguing from a place of "logic" or "correctness" is refusing to accept that it's all convention, and different people do things…
And the 1975! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0E_uK01odHg Based on the context of the title, I had just assumed petrichor was the name of an artist or something. Glad to know the real definition!
Executive summaries are part of the industry, where people boil down non-fiction books into short pieces of text. E.g. Blinkist (not affiliated, just the first result on Google) It is somewhat funny that presumably a…
In a hospital setting, nurses and doctors round regularly. No one is talking about using AI as a replacement for that, because no one has anything approaching that much trust in predictive models. Predictive models are…
I think what you described falls under #2 in my reply. “Doing it well” is not a trivial option that people are ignoring; “doing it well” is the thing people are trying to solve. AI is not a magic bullet that always…
I can tell you that the current focuses of AI implementations are around real, impactful issues: sepsis risk, readmission risk, deterioration index, etc. The problems with AI in healthcare are: 1) People don’t want it…
They are finally reaching the point of rolling out their new clients that get off Visual Basic, so that’s something. M, however, ends up being a combined database/business logic platform (and it’s fairly speedy at that,…
I don’t think Epic’s install costs are secret or a “gotcha”. Any administrator interested in Epic can look at 20 years of installs and see that an Epic implementation is routinely a multi year, $100 million+ project for…
Some college guys I know rode 200 miles around essentially a big roundabout (the loop length was probably less than 300 meters) at 20mph. When asked why they did it, they basically just shrugged and said they thought it…
I wish the author the best on their reading journey! I feel like this article shares a valuable experience, and I would encourage anyone who's on the fence or who views literature as a waste of time to give it an…
I'd recommend Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang [0]. It's often billed as "speculative fiction", and I'd describe it as a series of short stories that define worlds slightly-to-extremely dissimilar to ours,…
I think the parent's comment was saying to find reviewers whose tastes align with your own, then trust their reviews for new content. This requires 1) that the media they publish through prints the name of the author;…
He’s said that he thinks his method of typing works fine and doesn’t lead to repetitive stress injuries, so he prefers it. I don’t remember which specific videos he said that in off the top of my head, though.
Econtalk had a recent episode [0] that discusses this problem and the limitations when applied to real life. There's also a transcript [1] for those who prefer reading. I found the discussion (and the entire episode) to…
I don’t really understand that idea of complexity, but Rick Beato is addressing this song from a music theory perspective, and I think this song would meet anyone’s definition of complex when it comes to theory.
I don’t think that’s the obvious takeaway. The specific chord voicings are complicated, sure, but the complexity he’s talking about are the key changes and unexpected tonal choices. You can’t remove those without…
I’m curious for more details on what your templating system was and how it worked. If you’re up for sharing, I’d love to hear about it. I know the aforementioned EMR puts a lot of emphasis on their After Visit…
The 12-TET certainly has some neat mathematical properties, but my point is that it’s not the only way to decide what “notes” are. It’s an interesting debate on whether there’s something fundamental to this particular…
It is artificial, in the sense that the western twelve tone scale is essentially arbitrary (why not 6? why not 16?), and it is a constraint in the sense that what most people consider “in tune” is defined by what…
