Google's Sundar Pichai talked to me about AI, search, and the web on Decoder. It got very deep, and he sighed at me more than a few times as we dug into the incentives Google creates, but he stuck it out for 40 minutes.

In the pod feed but this one has a YouTube video as well -> https://www.theverge.com/24158374/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-ai-search-gemini-future-of-the-internet-web-openai-decoder-interview

@reckless1280 @jcrabapple my hot take is that Sundar makes a lot of sense, imho. there were a couple places where his answer wasn’t great, but in general i think it makes sense. when you run a 2-sided marketplace, you can’t always make both sides happy. they’re choosing to prioritize end users. in late stage enshittification, the group of sellers is prioritized, so in a lot of ways, this is a reversal of enshittification

this is in reference to super-alignment & safety, but my cousin also had her DEI team disbanded and “distributed” in the same way

on the surface, i think safety, DEI, and similar topics should be embedded in the culture and not centralized into a specific team. centralization would cause people to say, “oh that’s not my job”.

then again, any time a centralized team is disbanded, my immediate thought is, “apparently safety/DEI/etc. doesn’t matter to this company”. it’s a paradox, i suppose

@TEG yeah, security is another one. but security is hard and you typically need dedicated team just to host security professionals. someone needs to act as a bar raiser in order to maintain the culture…

I’ve never understood this compulsion by some to display the ten commandments in schools.

Heck, I attended a parochial Jewish elementary school and I do not remember them being displayed there! And that’s despite the fact that representations of the Ten Commandments are a very common iconography in the main sanctuary of Jewish synagogues.

@norootcause you’d think they’d be pushing for the fruits of the spirit instead, given they’re Christian: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control

Can anybody point me to a good deep dive on the mastodon database schema? Preferably with explanations where necessary? Yes I know how to go look at the mastodon docs and code. I’m doing that. I’m also looking for more of a guide to wrap my head around things.

I saw a post claiming that weekly 1-on-1s are bad because they descend into nitpicking sessions.

These are typically signs of a bad manager. A weekly 1-on-1 is a good opportunity for both the manager and report to share context on what’s going on and the report to ask for help.

holy shit

yesterday while trail running i came across this fallen tree. it looks like a thick vine wrapped and choked the life out of it, and the storm this weekend finally took it out. i couldn’t easily identify the vine, but whatever

this morning i wake up and i’m breaking tf out with what sure looks like poison ivy rashes.

i came back, and identified the vine as, yep, poison ivy. thick woody 1/3” vines up and down the full tree

A close-up of two green leaves with visible veins and black specks on their surfaces. The leaves are attached to a thin branch with a blurred background of other foliage and tree bark.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

follow-up: i’ve had a severe case of poison ivy since this. my immune system has been in overload, i’ve been sleeping 10-11 hours per night, plus afternoon naps. benedryl + zertec + ibuprofen. i got some antibiotics from the doctor because some blisters on my ankle are getting infected.

TIL poison ivy in the tree tops is the worst kind of poison ivy. Stay clear of downed trees!
