I had to admin Google Workspace maybe 9-10 years ago. It was rough but I thought they'd beep refining it. I'm back in a company using GW and I swear to god it's gotten worse. The basic features that simple don't exist ar

I stated there are actually few jobs in the world that are not needed. I didn't say government was perfectly efficient or that process changes are not needed.

Yep. All people asked him to do was slow down a bit because they felt it was too much change at once. He refused for any reason other than his own to slow down. H said he only saw three reasons to slow down and none of them applied so Linus

In reality there aren't that many jobs that exist but don't have to. The overwhelming majority of employees are paid to do work the employer needs to be done.

I have recourse against the government. I have less recourse against private companies.

What you're missing is they can get that money without putting the cameras back up. That's what you do when a customer doesn't want your service/product but they still have an active contract.

It's the same thing with tiny tax cuts. No business person is saying, "I'd love to hire 30 more people to fulfil customer orders, but I need a 2% reduction in my top marginal income tax rate to be able to afford that!" N

Agreed. Proper troubleshooting technique takes into account not just just swapping out parts, but looking at likelihood and cost. Changing software is highly likely to solve the issue as well as being free and fast to check.

Ahhh, ok. Magic, gotcha. :D Always amazes me when people want to replace a simple explanation with magic.

I agree with the folks who call these screwups rather than hallucinations because the point of LLMs isn't to be right, it's to be statistically highly likely. If making something up fits that model, then that's what it will d

Agreed, but remember how bad flash memory was in the early SSD days.

The current admin would never voluntarily release bad news even as an excuse. They'd just lie about the reality.

Whitespace being important is literally the reason I don't use Python. I'm absolutely TERRIBLE with whitespace in my code, I do not indent like most people, I indent a lot less frequently. I learned coding on TRS80 Model 100 basic

Agreed, you start with a problem and explore possible solutions, not start with a solution and go find a problem.

Oh, I agree, I'm not saying "AI will always be garbage" but I WOULD say, "yep, mobile computing just isn't ready yet" in 1996. I also said every single day for the past 25 years that "cloud computing is a

I totally agree but AI is such a broad category it's like asking "what can we do with electricity?" Well, that depends, what problems are you looking to solve? You always start with the problem that needs to be solved, not th

IMO the step most of these projects fail on is UTILITY. I have yet to hear an AI project start with, "We need to do X and I think AI might help." Every single project meeting I've sat in started with an non-technical exec ask

I was skeptical at the start but by the end I didn't care if it was a good idea or a bad one, I learned so much it was a great read.
