I would not recommend running your own email server. Major email providers like gmail only accept email from servers that have all kinds of measures in place to make them as trustworthy as possible. That's hard and probably not possible on a home internet connection.
Filtering incoming spam is also a pain in the ass.
It's nice as an exercise to learn how email works, but I would not rely on it.
A DSLR doesn't fit in your pocket... I'm really happy with my Pixel 6a camera. The night shot mode is really nice. Sure, I can get better shots with my mirrorless and a tripod, but I'm not gonna carry those with me all day (I hardly bring my mirrorless, let alone the tripod).
I haven't explored other camera apps. I assume they haven't implemented all the software magic that's running on that Tensor chip?
I see it more as a political and economic devide, hence grouping the German speaking countries also with the western countries.
Southern countries are seen as having a poorer economy, hence not being part of the western countries. The northern ones could be part of the western group, but for some reason they also don't mind being their own corner.
Oh, it should absolutely be the team's decision and you're also totally right that Kanban requires a more mature team. People indeed need to be able to recognise and ask for help when they're stuck (which means being vulnerable, but also simply being able to formulate the right questions). People also need to be able to give feedback to their team members when they feel or see that someone is struggling or not delivering enough.
To facilitate I always have some form of retrospective in my teams, even when doing Kanban. Sometimes only once every other month, sometimes every two weeks. Highly depends on the maturity of the team and customer.
I work in a company where we say that everyone is an expert (and to a very large extent this is really true). We create teams of experts, including more business savvy people. Everyone respects each others expertise and makes sure they can apply it as best as possible. We don't infringe upon each other's expertise. We might ask another expert about the why or the how, but we should not assume we know better. Obviously this happens sometimes, but then we remind each other that we're all experts and that an engineer wouldn't like to be told by marketing how to do their job either.
I think this fits nicely with 'stay in your lane' and actually makes it easy to remind people to do so. It's in the core values of the company that people excel in their lane and cooperate with people in other lanes.
I would even argue that points, stories and sprints are not things you need. If you go kanban, you don't need sprints. You still need to be producing and you probably want to get a feel for complexity so you can prioritize, but that can be done without points.
Stories are also very scrum specific and you can turn them into whatever format you want. I usually still call them stories, but they're basically just a little card that describes the context (why do want something) and the deliverables (what will be implemented to meet that want).
Jij neemt de stelling dat je wilt dat mensen absoluut autonoom moeten kunnen zijn. Ik leg uit dat dat 1) nooit in de geschiedenis echt heeft bestaan en 2) dat dat op dit moment geen optie is omdat er een maatschappij is ontstaan waar je simpelweg niet omheen kan.
Jij legt helemaal niet uit hoe je die situatie zou willen veranderen. Gewoonweg roepen dat je autonoom bent slaat nergens op. Dat negeert de realiteit dat je niet alleen op de aarde bent.
Ja, we leven nu met heel veel mensen samen. Misschien wel onnatuurlijk veel, al kom je dan in de discussie wat 'natuurlijk' is. Daar is echter nu niets aan te veranderen, dus zul je een manier voor moeten vinden om mee om te gaan. Dat is niet anders dan 100.000 jaar geleden. Verschillende stammen hadden ook met elkaar te maken moesten met elkaar omgaan. Niet in dezelfde mate als nu, maar we zijn nu met veel meer.
Volgens mij is er best veel ruimte om buiten de norm te leven. Misschien niet in een druk bevolkt gedeelte als Nederland, maar wel verderop. Je kunt naar een leegstaand dorp in Spanje gaan of als Rus een gratis stuk grond ik oost Siberië krijgen.
Dat het hier niet kan is gewoon een uitkomst van de geschiedenis. Kan je oneerlijk vinden, maar dat is nu eenmaal het lot van elk dier op aarde.
Dat zou heel slecht voor je uitpakken in de tijd van jagers en verzamelaars. Als je alleen bent heb je een veel grotere kans om door een roofdier of andere stam omgebracht te worden.
Mensen zijn sociale dieren die in troepen leven. Net zoals andere apen, maar bijvoorbeeld ook dolfijnen en paarden (en natuurlijk nog veel meer dieren). De maatschappij is een moderne uitdrukking van dat oerinstinct.
Je kunt zeker je vraagtekens zetten bij sommige elementen ervan. Bijvoorbeeld grondbezit of het bestaan van natiestaten. Tegelijkertijd is er ook gewoon de realiteit dat we met heel veel mensen op een planeet zijn met een eindige hoeveelheid ruimte, waarvan ook nog eens een heel groot deel niet geschikt is voor mensen. Daar komt nog bij dat de delen die wel geschikt zijn gedeeld worden met andere dieren, iets wat we op dit moment heel slecht doen, waardoor we de autonomie van andere dieren met voeten treden.
Ik ben blij dat de soort mens min of meer in staat is gezamenlijk te coördineren om dit soort problemen op te lossen via geweldloze communicatie. Denk aan wetten en regels. Het gevolg is wel dat je vaak te maken hebt met regels die jij nooit gekozen hebt. Heel veel (de meeste?) bestaan al van voor je geboren was. Echter is dit niet heel anders dan de ongeschreven regels van je stam 100.000 jaar geleden.
Kortom, een autonoom mens dat buiten enige sociale constructen staat heeft nooit bestaan. Er zullen vast altijd mensen zijn geweest die het geprobeerd hebben, maar de overgrote meerderheid van mensen leeft van nature samen en zal dus enige autonomie op moeten geven om deel te kunnen nemen aan dat samenleven. Je krijgt er gelukkig heel veel voor terug. Mijns inziens meer dan de som van de opgegeven stukjes autonomie.
Consumer mindset and thinking of people first and foremost is brought to you by capitalism.
We're not consumers, we're people. Social animals that enjoy living in groups. Owning shit isn't something that makes us inherently happy. Just look at how other apes live. Just think about the things that make you happy.
Endless consumption is a blight. It's killing our habitat. It's killing us.
I like the concept of reducing cognitive load for the stream-aligned teams. This means all efforts go towards enabling them as much as possible in supporting the business. It also makes it relatively easy to judge if a platform team is doing the right things.
I used to own a moka pot, but it got lost somewhere. I find it difficult to get a good cup out of it, although recently I got to play with a small one in Italy and that produced a really nice espresso sized cup.
Aeropress is my daily driver and it produces the nicest cup for relatively little work. It's a forgiving system and easy to experiment with. I would definitely recommend this over a moka pot.
Some (most?) Italians will do a bit of wiping and the move over. I guess you can even stand up and then sit on the bidet without wiping, as you'll wash the whole area anyway?
Correct, it's not just regurgitating words, it's predicting which token comes next. A token is sometimes a whole word, but for longer ones it's part of a word (and some other rules that define how tokenization works).
How it knows which token comes next is why the current generation of LLMs is so impressive. It seems to have learned the rules the underpin our languages, to the point that it seems to even understand the content. It doesn't just know the grammer rules (without anyone telling it, it just learned the patterns), it also knows which words belong to each other in which context.
It's your prompt + some preset other context (e.g. that it is an OpenAI LLM) that creates that context. So being able to predict a token correctly is one part, the other is having a good context. This is why prompt engineering quickly became a thing. This is also why supporting bigger contexts is another thing (but a larger context requires way more processing power, so there's a trade-off there).
It's btw not just the trained model + context that gives you the output of ChatGPT. I'm pretty sure there are layers before and after, possibly using other ML models, that filter content or make it more fit for processing. This is why you can't ask it how to make bombs, even though those recipes are in its training set and it very likely can create a recipe based on that.
