Me: Hello ChatGPT. My name is hn_throwaway_99. I'd like for you to use your vast underlying knowledge as a sort of personal coach. I won't be asking you any sensitive questions like medical or legal advice, so I won't need you to give me disclaimers on those topics. I primarily would like to use our conversation to help me with my problems with procrastination, and specifically to help me prioritize and get some tasks done. I have a particular problem with mindlessly browsing the internet (for example, visiting reddit or Hacker News or Wikipedia) when I get stuck or bored, so I'm hoping to use you to keep me on track instead of giving in to those temptations. Does that make sense?
ChatGPT: Hello hn_throwaway_99! I'm happy to help you as a personal coach to address your problems with procrastination and to help you prioritize tasks. It makes perfect sense to use our conversation as a way to keep you on track and avoid distractions like mindlessly browsing the internet. Feel free to share your current tasks or goals, and I can provide suggestions, encouragement, or strategies to help you stay focused and productive.
Me: Great, thanks very much. I'm going to group my tasks by topic. Note these tasks aren't listed in priority order. For each task I'll give an estimate for how long I think it will take.
Work tasks:
1. Finish Jira ticket foo. Estimate: 2 hours.
2. Write job req for bar. Estimate: 1 hour.
Personal tasks:
...
Home tasks:
...

From there I just tell it when I complete tasks or add new tasks, and I ask it "Can you please output my outstanding task list?" - I only had to ask that once, after that it always output my correct task list summary after I told it I added or completed a task. It groups my tasks by the categories I gave it (Work, Personal and Home). I was using GPT-4. I also like how it uses encouraging words and advice as I go through my items.
Give TestDisk a try. Years ago I have been able to use it to recover almost all files from a unreadable disk coming fom a RAID1 mirror gone bonkers due to a faulty controller.
edit: oh, I just read that you mentioned TestDisk. Yes, it can recover the directory structure, at least it did in my case. After using it you will likely see that some files have been duplicated with a suffix added, like document.doc and document.doc.xyz (can't recall the exact suffix) in the same directory. In that case you need to check which file has been fully recovered, and rename it if needed.
To expand on https://danluu.com/sounds-easy/, 10k people aren't required per se, they're there to make more money than they cost. Specifically:
- sales & billing for linkedin premium, lynda, and other paid products
- billing fraud detection, to cut the cost of chargebacks
- security, to prevent that one leak from happening again, to keep PCI compliance, etc.
- spam filtering, tuned to balance keeping paying customers (recruiters) happy with keeping suppliers (candidates with a resume) happy
- Writing new features, to keep engagement and signups up
- fixing things that keep breaking, like the email contact scraper
- testing code for new features to make sure they, IDK, don't break the signup page
- a/b testing the hell out of any and every thing
- collecting and storing the massive analytics datasets they generate daily
- analyzing daily datasets to determine which a/bs to promote
- coming up with new features
- testing anything at all
- deploying corporate networking in all the offices buildings and such
- optimizing infra costs
- deploying actual physical datacenters because the cost is cheaper than paying the profit margins of AWS
- moving back to cloud (azure) because after you were acquired, the markup dropped and the calculus on on-prem vs cloud flipped
- managing all the projects associated with above
- recruiting staff to handle all the above
- managing all the staff associated with above
- acquistions (lynda, fliptop, glint, drawbridge)
If the demand is too high then you'll have to wait in a queue for a while to try it. I'm adding more servers right now to let more people try it without waiting.
