Current state models are super potent if they're used by people who know what a correct response should be (even if they're fuzzy on code) because of exactly what you mentioned.

They saw output and could understand how input was accurate (or not) and made the code better

One thing that I find really interesting about blueskys filtering is that I clicked through to see what you were talking about, went about and made a few posts, came back to feed and saw this.. your QT is censored, but it remembered I opened the original and kept that visible

Tldr is we have a process for identifying where customers are on sales funnel. Team using it thinks its highly subjective. Make instructions giving definitions they all agree on. Then give it the "subjective" calls and lay out reasoning. Helped push us past a feedback loop.

I keep pitching my company to do like a notebook Lm of our training docs and SOPs. Tech has incredible promise in some areas, but they're not the "headline writing" ones so slow going. (My personal favorite is I made something that helps our team address the "categorize by instinct" issue

This is very true. Getting people to communicate on a technical team isn't easy. Especially if there's a skill age or distance gap. I think collaboration is still vital, but I think you can use LLMs as handling basic stuff to foster a communication culture on other stuff

It's bad he got paid absolutely any money, he should be in jail. But doing an event like this isn't a sign that someone is raking in a ton of cash.

They were posting the week of for an upcoming event trying to fill seats. So obviously it wasn't that popular. It's also something that is a once and done. You're not gonna have people signing up for training multiple times so it's already a limited market.

I think it's below that per hour. Because this is a rando shop (that's already out of business) and a store isn't going to pay a ton of money for some regular engagement for an event that's $50 per person.

If he made *much more* than this per event it was a limited thing, one that didn't sell out

He's not getting $50 a student. The gun store is charging students $50 for the training. He's likely getting a flat fee per class

Which he's clearly not if classes are taught in the evenings and it's going to be a few hours, max. Even at 7 days a week he won't reach 40.

I've made some of my best friends online, but I also think that on balance, the way the Internet was made around prioritizing engagement (and user generated content) was a mistake and actively harmful to our culture.

Gotta really appreciate they named their hits album "Greatest hit (and 21 other pretty cool songs)" because they only really had one radio hit.

(I still get chills everytime the music really kicks in in "Misunderstood" though)

My understanding is Claude code is still dominant there. But Gemini does have a CLI and a new IDE. I haven't been able to use claude's premium product yet, but the new Gemini stuff is pretty good.
