If you lose the access, does your company die? If not, is not "vital".

They didn't say "avoid", just don't put all your eggs into one basket.
toxicFork··on A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of Y-intercept (2012)
That's very accurate, I agree.
toxicFork··on A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of Y-intercept (2012)
I talked about this with my now wife when we started dating. We need to be open and honest with each other, and if there are issues we need to talk about them ASAP instead of thinking "it will somehow be fine".

Once you can safely establish that, it's not really hard work. Just need to be able to feel comfortable enough with the person to say your real honest thoughts and feelings.

I understand that for some people that is really hard to express what they are thinking and feeling, to anyone, even themselves, but if you work on that, then the rest becomes easier.

It was hard for me, this last part, and I had to find some good books and resources to help me understand myself first. The books that helped the most were Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, and Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do by John A. Bargh.

Aristotle allows you to see that there is a way to find the middle in any kind of context, and that there is no really "best" in anything, or "the right way" in anything, and it really depends on the person. This allowed me to see better in others' perspectives and empathise better, and not feel too bad when there are conflicting opinions, since none of us are the same.

"Before you know it" allowed me to see how we think, subconsciously and consciously, and how some things are in our control and some aren't.

I hope this helps.

Of course they are training their own AI with the inputs and outputs of this tool
toxicFork··on DeepMind Dramatron: a new tool for writers to co-write theatre and film scripts
We don't destroy writing as a job. We improve the baseline. So someone who cannot write at all can produce something slightly decent rather than nothing at all. Also this can be useful for inspiration, too.

It's unlikely that the AI will create the greatest scripts for a very long time. Even if it does, it will be like it's "just one more script writer".

IKEA didn't kill hand made furnitures. But it helps some people get some nice stuff.

toxicFork··on You might not need a CRDT
If I want to have an app that needs to eventually persist user state to a server but still work well when the user is offline, e.g. a personal vocabulary app that can work with multiple devices but also can work when the user is offline, so the user can still define new words manually on both devices, and then when the phone is back online, the state still makes sense in both, should I use CRDT?

Why do you want to compare everything you do to what others are doing?

Allow yourself to do things that others do better.

You do not have to be the best.

You will enjoy life much more. Your kids will, too.
