Worth watching the British film Threads . That shows the aftermath quite realistically.

Yeah. Rode the hype. Made a killing. Fucking off now and finding the next bubble… Existential risks such as hyped gains and regulation are starting to take a foothold.

Yeah and no. It was Jerry Nixon, speaking at a Microsoft conference on behalf of MSFT as a Microsoft employee, not on person opinion. He said that Windows 10 was the last numbered version of windows directly. Gartner did some faff around it

Generally a bad idea to have one viable customer.

Yeah in my case electrical engineering :)

It's not the vendor. They were incredibly stateful and opaque which caused numerous problems.

I spend all day every day working with those. I have yet to find a single microservices architecture that could not be solved cheaper and simpler in some other way with less side effects. Plus there are some disparity between APIs and objec

This always feels like DBus=DCOM, systemd=Service manager, journald=Event log. And that makes me feel a little dirty.

I quote Fowler's ancient First Law of Distributed Object Design: "don't distribute your objects". Any distribution results in masked complexity and many hard to reason about scenarios even if the language or platform sup

Lack of service information, poor treatment of customers compared to HP/Agilent (try getting anything fixed without a service contract now), design shortcuts (U8002A is a buggy piece of shit), absolutely nightmare trying to order parts

This just looks entirely pointless and the product of a marketing team with too many staff.

Yup. The killer on these things is usually actually feedback phase shift. Sometimes the output load can have a complex reactance which turns the supply into a convenient power amplified oscillator. Fat output capacitor solves most of these

That’s ignoring the differences between where and how many. The latter point ignores my valid point that this may have a lesser impact than increasing driving standards. Way to pick and choose things …

No I mean Agilent. The stuff since keysight rebrand is mostly garbage.

Well define "safe". If we compare the US to the UK for example, it's considerably safer driving in the UK. Surely investment in some level of change that is causal on that level will result in more lives being saved than intr

2oz copper plus fat track, multiple via stitches, huge ground planes as well as isolation between the sampling and power delivery parts of the boards. There’s a lot of design that goes into a simple power supply PCB. Check out an Agilent su

Microsoft released a surface phone years ago and pissed off the developers by forcing them to rewrite everything and they all went to Android and iOS. There has only been crack smokers at the wheel for the last 15 years or so.

I don't think it is cursed yet . Apple seem to be taking a very conservative approach to the whole AI and LLM thing and are externalising it to OpenAI so they can cast it off if it turns out to be a pile of crap. Where they are inve

I’ve driven over a million miles without crashing into a moving train. Or a stopped train. Or even a car.

This can all be solved simply by driving your own car.

To quote the article "I've always managed my data myself, taking personal responsibility for protecting it and backing it up. I don't want or need Apple to insert itself into this process as a remote nanny." But do thi

Dunno I know someone who doubled their hedge fund salary running a cheese sandwich wagon.

Doesn't matter if you're an asshole company or not: always have an exit plan and test it.

I don't know why people do this. The reason I buy an iPhone is that I want all the non dumb things. If I wanted all the dumb stuff I'd just not bother.

At least I'll be on equal grounds with something. I usually find out I've hallucinated my proofs :)

I think they are more than aware but will magically disappear after cashing their stock just about the point the bubble pops. Don't forget that the AI industry is almost 100% based on hype. Microsoft will be the largest victim here, th

They already know it’s a shit show. They are trying to push it along until it’s someone else’s fault.

We're mostly good at selling out here. We had one of the biggest and most innovative electronics industries on the planet. Then Philips bought them all and sold them. ARM as well of course...

Nikon Z series with Snapbridge are as good as you get on that front. They peer with WiFi or Bluetooth. You can actually remote control and view the camera with your iPad if you want!
