Google has laid off their Python Foundation team and asked them to train their replacements who will be in the Munich office.

This is similar to layoffs in their finance department a few weeks ago where some positions were moved outside the country where they’re cheaper. 😬 Image

Stephen Wolfram (of Wolfram Alpha fame) does the best job I’ve seen in explaining in simple terms how ChatGPT works and why I’ve described it as super smart auto-complete.
Screenshots are from this post writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-i…
As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, the truly impressive part is its understanding of intent (e.g. write an analysis of the Cold War in the form of a gangsta rap) and less so that it’s good at text generation which is just autocomplete which we’ve had for years.

A thread about of tech/investment/politics trends I’ve been wrong about and what each thought me.
WRONG ABOUT: @paulg & Y-Combinator

I THOUGHT: It derailed promising young careers to work on speculative high risk companies

I LEARNED: Risk-reward ratio applies to careers and founding a Y-Combinator funded startup out of school is relatively low-risk/high-reward for a techie
WRONG ABOUT: @finkd & Open Registration

I THOUGHT: Expanding Facebook to include adults would kill it, no one wants to be on an app with their parents. I told MZ this in 2008 when FB had 100M users, today it’s almost 3B.

I LEARNED: People will stay if the network provides value

A friend asked what I think will happen to Twitter.

Twitter’s big problem was their ads business wasn’t great relative to peers. It’s mostly brand advertising which means companies buy it due to ego not ROI. No one can prove that a Twiter hashflag campaign drove $X in sales.
Elon is driving away brand advertisers and Twitter never figured out ads that drive sales (direct response ads) which is now harder due to Apple’s App Tracking Transparency.
A possible future for Twitter was someone coming in to cut costs and building a direct response ads business that was resistant to Apple’s ATT changes from scratch. This would’ve been extremely hard but possible.

I don’t know anything about building rocket ships or electric cars but I do know a few things about building social apps (including multiple patents).

The original tweet was clearly nonsense even before I saw it debunked by the former timeline tech lead. Fired too many, too fast
Twitter is now slower outside the US, in say India for example? It must be the RPCs.
I had to double check that it wasn’t an impersonator in the replies. Every exchange on this topic is just incredible.

11,000 of my coworkers were laid off today including many people I work with.

I won't be tweeting much today given other obvious higher priorities but will shout out people I've worked with personally who are looking for work over the course of the day.

OKRs are rarely explained well.

An objective is a business outcome. Say double e-commerce sales by end of year.

Key results are metrics or deliverables you track quarterly to get there. They could be input (e.g. grow listings), top of funnel (product views) or output (revenue).
The important thing about OKRs is that both the objective and key results need to be measurable. You should be able to tell unambiguously if you hit your objective at the end of the year.

Key results need to be proven contributors to hitting the objective or changed if not.
Decided to start this thread on noticing that even the wikipedia entry for “OKR” isn’t very good.
