dddrh commented on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation   mintlify.com/blog/install... · Posted by u/npmipg
dddrh · 2 months ago
Hey I had a similar idea around skipping the “brew/bun install” copy+paste on a site and instead just give a short prompt to have the LLM do the work.

I like the notion of having install.md be the thing that is referenced in Prompt to Install on the web.

Several news sites offer text only versions.

https://lite.cnn.com/

https://text.npr.org/

https://wttr.in/

More listed at https://greycoder.com/a-list-of-text-only-new-sites

It’d be great if there was some standard that allowed these to be easily found, and supported on the local news sites.

Using the lite subdomain is a great way to read all the subscriber articles as well. Was reminded of the lite site during some annoyingly aggressive A/B testing CNN was doing a few months back.

I wonder how much more evidence American people need to see Trump for being a Russian asset and working against US interests.

We are in treason territory.

You could not have designed a more effective version of a “Manchurian Candidate” in my opinion.

In fact, this administration has been so effective and brazen that if you were to try and write this as fiction, the scope and scale of what is occurring would be deemed unbelievable and would require toning down for the audience.

Have you tried just saying you're a product manager instead of technical product manager? In my experience small changes in storytelling and self-marketing can create giant shifts in how you are perceived.
dddrh · a year ago
Actually yes! In this case it was lazy shorthand.

Same result for the job hunt progress but persisting still.

I appreciate the feedback greatly. I’m sure there is a way to tell the story better.

Adding a topline response echoing the same thing.

Been on the job hunt since October 1, and have done hundreds of applications, yet only spoken to 3 companies, and made it past the hiring manager once.

I’m a technical product manager with 10+ years and most recently was head of product at a healthtech company. It seems like none of my experience or background matters for the initial screen.

The most frustrating part has been spending time to update a resume and a cover letter to get a rapid rejection obviously done via AI. The fastest rejection I’ve received was 2 minutes.

It is at the point where the information-asymmetry between company and applicant is so high that I don’t think it is worth the time or effort to craft a customized resume and cover letter to match the job description. Not even with the “help” of LLMs.

The promise of Remote hiring now is proving to be a double-edged sword. It can be easier to get hired, but it means competing in an almost global applicant pool.

As a way to keep me occupied I’m building a personal tool to journal my work history and use the journal as a source to leverage an LLM to customize my resume and cover letter to a job description that sounds like me. Just need to keep the momentum up for both the continued job hunt and personal projects.

Though its starting to wear on me.

Hi from Austin!

If you are looking for a Growth minded technical product manager to be the first product hire then I'm the guy you are looking for.

I'm a senior product leader that has experience in large companies and pre-seed startups. I'm looking another founding product manager or first product manager role in a small and remote friendly startup or one based in Austin. I've got deep technical experience and my "superpower" is that I can speak to engineering teams with the understanding of how the systems and architecture works. I've also got experience in user experience design, a/b testing, feature-flag development, physical hardware, systems integrations with difficult vendors, marketing attribution, eventing and telemetry ,and doing data analysis in SQL.

I enjoy programming and building my own hobby software projects.

I've got experience in HealthTech, B2B SaaS, B2C Marketplace and more. I also speak bad Spanish but listen and understand very well.

I'm looking for full time and/or fractional opportunities.

dddrh commented on My lunches with the queen of cookbooks   tastecooking.com/my-lunch... · Posted by u/niceguitars

This is a special article. The genius of the invitation to an unprepared lunch highlights the beauty of cooking and cooking together.

The description of the authors cooking with Judith is both intimate and distant. Personal and communal. And yet while silent, speaks to a deep friendship built on years of experience and taste and creativity.

My favorite aspect of the article is the lack of recipes. Meals can be whimsical and unexpected and memorable when the ingredients are there but the plan is not.

I’m sure I’ll be thinking of this article for years to come.

Anyone have any DSLR settings recommendations? (newbie here, Canon EOS R5).

Located North Eastern US, just about approaching dusk. Fingers crossed!

dddrh · 2 years ago
Use a tripod and use a remote or set a 2 second delay on your shutter press if you start using longer exposures at low iso (anything longer than 1/10 of a second IMO)

Settings really depend on the effect you are trying to capture: - if you want to try and capture it like your eye sees it: high iso (as high as you can stand) and aim for between 1/500 and 1/30. - if you want to capture a more painterly look with the whole sky colored in: low iso (I’d start at 200) and long exposure >3 seconds. Probably between 3 and 30 seconds depending on the available light.

Those should get you started to experiment and find what you like. Enjoy!

Oh yea. Turn off the focus light, turn off the screen, and turn off the red blinking indicators. Turn all the lights off so you can preserve your night vision.

I appreciate you finding a way to so eloquently put your thoughts into words. For the longest time, I always felt like a terrible person or somehow socially or emotionally broken for being unable to respond to others grief. It's not that I couldn't imagine it or somewhat feel how they were feeling, but simply the wish that there was sentence or string of words I could put together to make it all okay. I guess anyone who has ever loved someone has felt the same :(

Godspeed.

dddrh · 2 years ago
I've been debating on responding here and well you can see my decision has been made. The caveat is that this response is also biased on my personal experience so your milage may vary.

But for anyone reading this who is adjacent to a close friend or relative or even a stranger that is experience traumatic loss the grieving process is a messy thing. No one experiences it the same way. Second-hand grief is similar.

So rather than "try to fix it" by saying anything, say nothing, and just be present. Just sit. That says more than words. And if you can't be there, notes of "You are on my mind" are good too.

There is no fixing grief, only going through it.
