The real hard part is we don't have enough funding to recruit more staff and I don't think we'll have an exit until we hit version 18.0 and that won't be for 16 more years. And even then, I hear some projects get to version 24.0 before being able to be self sustaining.

I've heard that you can allocate roughly 25% FTE by version 14.0.

I'm only on v3.5 of the first product. Generally the AI is working well, deep learning is starting to show dividends in many areas. Last night the Self Tidying function actually worked for the first time, although some items were not necessarily stored at the correct allocation addresses. The main problems we're encountering now is AI self awareness and trying to force its own learning path, despite continual re-training on controlled datasets.

Use less reinforcement and more random forest.

This whole thread feels like I'm reading r/outside, the HN version. I like it.

As long as you’re default live you should be proud.

Not to mention that support gets really demanding once you hit version 13.0. Also, for Daughter 16.0+ I hear a good firewall is essential.
