This style of discourse is lame. You listed a lot of closed questions, with a heavy implication of bias (or something.."I'm just asking the questions!"). Yet despite providing no answers, this ALL bugs you. If you've got

Surely you would have wanted to know how many bit flip errors you were getting - surely you attempted to isolate them, count them?

There are different types of errors as you rightfully point out. Peer resets for web clients are (typically) caused by environmental factors outside the hosts control. It would make sense to group then and monitor then in the aggregate - if

I guess my age is showing but why would you not read every error? Under what circumstances is it acceptable to ever use a metric like raw number of e.g 500 errors, if you don't know the breakdown of them, whether you're dealing wi

What a blast from the past, thanks. From memory VM/CMS use was mostly internal and most of my customers at least were on MVS. VM was mighty fine.

I feel Notes was a lot like 123. Immensely flexible and you could build anything in it. But the end results were a hairball that you'd never want dropped in your lap to maintain.

From memory MVS/XA - but it was so long ago I wouldn't bet on it. I do remember it was a great offering, though soon overshadowed by the new hotness that was Lotus Notes.

I worked for Lotus in the 90s as a systems engineer for a port of Lotus 123 for IBM mainframes. My territory was mainly scandanavian countries, due to a go getter salesman in that region, so I got to see that part of the world on expenses a

I would love to know why Google appear so behind GPT-4. The vibe is that they are not releasing stuff until it's trustworthy. My initial playing with ChatGPT is that it's amazing. Would I trust it to recommend medication? Likely n

Agreed, AI will indeed shine in situations where mistakes are tolerable and entertainment is a huge area like this. For example, currently playing a golf simulator is a little like the movie 28 days later. The simulation is amazing, but the

Our new Hyundai Ioniq 5 does this. It's a beautiful vehicle on many ways. But as so often, the desire to use touch controls has compromised the ability to drive without taking eyes off the road The most egregious example is turning off

You could compare it to the UK's House of Lords, where seats are (unbelievably to me) hereditary - passed down from toffs to their children.

By these maths, the $500 bill is for 10K resumes. To show an MVP to a customer you only need 10 resumes (or 1 in most demos I've been in). So 50c.

Nope, for me using a phone is a much worse experience. 1) Small screen hard to read with ageing eyes from that distance, or to operate touch controls precisely. This alone is a deal breaker, anything that requires more focus or concentratio

Exactly. The legal risks act as a moat that only the largest vendors can dig around themselves. I think OpenAI would be very happy about the legal risks.

Democracies are weird. Many of the most primal problems of mankind are solved. The rule of law is (in theory) impartial, citizens have property rights, etc. etc. There is free press. Most people living in democracies don't really under
