You don't know how many videos I came across before finding your video! Yours is the most in-depth and specific with actionable content I can use to tailor my resume! Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this video! I am looking into taking coursera’s ibm product manager course. There is a an ai version and a regular version. Would you recommend one over the other?
Just subscribed! I’m making it my goal to become a Product Manager in tech by October. I would love to connect with you for a quick coffee chat because my direct goal is to become a PM at IBM! I’m so interested in their Watsonx platform and I want to ultimately become an AI PM. With such a busy schedule 😊, would you be open to chatting with me so I can ask you a few questions please?
Is not only product managers, SDE and tech in general are having troubles finding jobs, I think is related to the changes to the tax code, section 174, where now Engineering is no longer considered as research, increasing taxes for every company that employs engineers, too many tech employees looking for jobs, and a lot of them really good, competing for the same positions. I think Aron Jack made a video about this called "The REAL Reason Tech Hiring Has Slowed Down (Surprising)".
This was the most simple yet the best explained video on how to get a foot in the door for product management l. You explained each step of the process with your side project as an example while highlighting the skills that one would gather while doing that step. Appreciate your effort.
It's 2024, build an app with Claude 3.5 (or GPT-5/GPT-Next if it came out) I am in the process of doing it, you learn a TON about prompting the AI, and you write 0 code so you have to direct it well. PM skills baby!
AI models accuracy increases exponentially. Just look at any other are like image creation, video creation or text, and you can see the rapid improvment. They may be flawed currently, but in a few month or years they will be 10x or 100x more accurate.
Awesome content! I think fundamentally that AI models and conventional models are limited by the same problem - quality of data. If getting windspeed, temperature, and humidity from everywhere on the planet was as easy as scraping the internet for IP, we'd have a weather AI as good as chatGPT. Even then, though, I think chatGPT is a toy and not much more
I’ve done enough toying around with tensorflow, as well as commercial AI products like GPT, to have serious doubts about the capabilities of the current machine learning paradigm. I don’t think AI models will become competitive with other models anytime soon. I have a lot to say about this, particularly around the resolution of models relevant to me as a storm chaser, but this comment is already too long. It’s already had an impact on me professionally, I am an animator and it’s definitely made waves in my industry.
One thing I thought about but didn't include in my final script is that the headlines about 60 second forecasts do not include the time it took to train the model -- presumably months.
Also - I know there are some audio issues in this video. 😅 I have figured the issues out since recording and will only be bringing top notch sound quality to future videos 🔊
PRO TIP: If you're a product manager, don't post TikToks of you doing absolutely nothing at work other than eating free food, picking up free dry cleaning, and leaving work at 6pm to go have sushi every night with your friends. You look absolutely stupid to the rest of us who work for a living.
Even when you do have radar, storms can still go unwarned. Earlier this year in Livonia, Michigan, a three-year-old boy was killed when an unwarned EF-1 tornado struck the town. Even though Livonia is not that far from the Detroit NWS station, this tornado was not detected on radar because it was below the beam. It also was a quick spinup meaning that by the time the radar made its full sweep it had come and gone. This is not unusual in Michigan. In addition, when you have overlapping radars it can cause ambiguity in the readings. I live in one of those areas where the Grand Rapids and Northern Indiana radars overlap so I follow Michigan Storm Chasers for my weather information as they can pivot from one to another when there is a question of what is happening down by the state line. The National Weather Service does a fantastic job but they cannot be everywhere. There is no doubt in my mind that people like Ryan Hall, Evan Fryberger, and the various local storm chaser groups have saved lives as I know for a fact that they are often on top of things long before the NWS issues an official warning.
Some radar gaps have many low-income folks, bad infrastructure, &/or folks without weather safety knowledge due to being immigrants/refugees, etc., a recipe for a mass-casualty event IMHO. Thank you for explaining this frustrating problem so well. You earned my subscription.
Nature always gives warnings... There is no gap in the radar... there is a HUGE gap in the populations awareness and affinity for the land and sky. There is no gap in the radar... there is a gap in education... those fools would have been on those roads anyway... Making it thru the storm for that paycheck is modern day standard... not safety and weather. 🖖
KFVS, channel 12, the CBS affiliate in Cape Girardeau, MO has been trying to get the government to install a radar site in Poplar Bluff, MO for decades -- and Poplar Bluff and areas just west of there are in a HUGE radar hole. Moreover, that area in general is on the edges of FIVE National Weather Service coverage areas. Poplar Bluff and the county just north of there and the two counties to the west (and areas to the east, of course) are served by the NWS in Paducah. West of there is served by the NWS in Springfield, MO. North of there is served by the NWS in St. Louis. South of Poplar Bluff is served by the NWS in Memphis, and southwest of there, in Arkansas, is served by the NWS in Little Rock.
Three other areas that comes to mind (with varying degrees of severity): 1) the triangle between Albert Lea & Austin, MN + Waterloo, Iowa, 2) the Morris-Fergus Falls-Wadena-Baudette, MN areas, and 3) the Pierre, SD area. These areas are have invisible vulnerabilities: Example 1 has ~3 cities with large immigrant & refugee resettlement populations who may not all know tornado safety in spite of the area getting many tornadoes (some violent); Examples 2 & 3 has many native reservations with poverty *and* a history of violent tornadoes (for example, Fergus Falls & Wadena both had violent tornadoes). These are just examples somewhat close to me. The southern radar holes are in some ways more egregious because of the longer tornado season as well as terrain/vegetation often obscuring visibility.
We lived right on the seawall just south of Boston, I was 17 and the ocean was flooding over the seawall, after the ocean slush started coming in the living room we had to evacuate, mom, dad, me carrying my little brother, trudged through knee deep slush then 1/2 mile up hill through snowdrifts to grandparents house, thank God they had a real fireplace. I walked down the next day, I walked on top of the cars, frozen in 5 feet of frozen ocean ice, only the car antennas a couple inches stuck up through the ice. 4' inside the house
Should they have at least seen that it is right next to them and heading their way? I don’t understand how people could be that clueless. But my opinion is biased because I am radar junkie.
Now picture privatized radar- owned by one company across the US. How long until they start gouging communities who may not be able to afford the service at all. We all KNOW that is EXACTLY what privatization does. Privatization should NEVER be allowed in areas where human health or lives may be at risk. We have seen what has happened in Texas with it's fully privatized and unregulated energy monopolies.
Wow, this video was reading my mind. I was out chasing yesterday and I spotted something that I am fairly certain was an unwarned tornado. I was wondering if maybe it went unnoticed because of the area it was in, and sure enough, it easily falls within a weather radar gap. This channel is a gem, I'm glad this recommendation hit my feed.
