Then I’d have to also tell you to never play a game or buy a product ending in 99 cents. Getting into the mind of the consumer is business 101 and is literally the difference between a game/product having any success or not.

And this has been proven, JCPenney tried to get rid of 99 cent pricing and led to losing 30% profits and bankruptcy. The people who want fair and square pricing won’t be there to actually buy it.

Fundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they’re in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.

My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.

Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you’re not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can’t care for employees at risk of dissolving.

Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.

Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.
