And that’s exactly what it’s going to do because the dependency chain on actually using this RAM is unlikely to succeed.

Sounds like programmers woke up from a fever dream and decided they can come up with an idea and flesh out the details later.

Yeah throw it at a moderately complex STM32 clock arrangement and see what comes out.

Yep. Exactly why we use machines. They do the deterministic bit quickly. We do the other bits.

Well look at my 500 seat company. We laid off 200 people with no measurable productivity impact. And we didn't embrace AI in the process. We were just keeping the unemployment figures down. Also look at the large tech companies. Same s

I went through the text logs for ours and it was all: "Fuck off and pass me to a human" and stuff like that. No one wants this who's calling you. We are literally damaging our company with it.

Not quite. They don't operate like that. It is not ok to lobby and manipulate governments for fiscal policy changes to write off the costs and risks on the general public. We MUST be entirely insulated from their failure as society. If

The reality is experience isn't codified in text. It's passed person to person over long periods of time. And you can't train an LLM on that.

Definitely. That'll have to come through economic instruments though rather than failure.

I'm not even media and I'm demonising it. It's the hubris of the technology industry attempting to destroy society for financial gain only. You should change the world by playing chess, not creating a new game and shitting on

I'd argue the economy is propped up on pointless work providing employment. If you throw AI in that it'll contract and it'll either collapse entirely or move to a social care model that no one will foot and rapid class divisi

The pushback I see everywhere outside of tech suggests the tech industry vastly overestimated the interest. The tech industry doesn't speak for the entire planet as much as it likes to think it does.

Someone walked into our office wearing them. They were given a written warning. They are not welcome at a social level and they are a tangible security risk.

No. They tried that with coreutils and look what happened. More CVEs. 99% of what I throw though ffmpeg is trusted i.e. I created it. It’s not a major risk.

I refuse to fly Ryanair. Total bastards from end to end. Easyjet are several hundred percent less clowns. Actually anyone else is.

I think there's several things going on at once in that space. This is just their vocalisation of it because it suits them. The thing is Fastmail can't speak with absolute authority about email because Fastmail is not email. It&#x

I think it's more they simply don't register small tech and self-hosting. In time there will be a reckoning though. The geopolitical instability at the moment will see the end of the US dominant services used outside of the US so

Yeah it's nothing special. I find the whole Apple innovation thing quite tedious if I'm honest. I've seen some milspec stuff from around that era that purposely misused an LM723 as an SMPS. This was done without any fanfare a

I’ve known enough googlers to know there’s problems in that department. The worst being a friend was married to an SRE and he was fucking nuts. As in disturbingly Ayn Rand and eugenics.

Google management never had a moral compass. They just pretended they did until it was no longer convenient.
