I'm not a SWE, and when I write code anymore it's just as a hobby. For work I'm in a business function and my 32" 4k monitor has been setup with 5-6 persistent windows since covid. 1. Center top: videoconferencing space

It's legitimately useful for networking, and also for keeping track of professional events. On the other side of the equation, it's also useful for sales teams using LI Sales Navigator as a lead enrichment platform. This doesn&#x2

It's going to cost far more than a diy machine with multiple lower end GPUs. Which is fine -- it's aimed at enterprise, not home labs.

I am a victim of AI-documentation-slop at work, and the result is that I've become far more "Tuftian" in my preferences than ever before. In the past, I was a fan of beautiful design and sometimes liked nice colors and ornam

I don't think so. With state funded healthcare you get rigid rulebooks and policies. In the capitalist-ish US model, if you are a successful advocate then you can get better than average care because there's enough flexibility i

This is how I ended up with my first MacBook in >10 years. I'd been a Thinkpad (T series) guy in the early days, the tried a MacBook in 2015... couldn't get used to it and used a Chromebook for the next 8 years. Needed to buy

Ten years ago I would have thought this was an excellent April Fool's Day launch. Now I just think it's foolish.

They very likely will continue being cloud-agnostic, just like they did with Mandiant Consulting.

And more relevant, Mandiant.

Agreed. He needed an "Eric Schmidt" about ten years ago.

I started my career at $14/hr in 1999, was at $19/hr in 2000, and switched to salary at $55k by 2001. I spent 15 years in corp IT running software teams... total comp got way better when I entered the big tech industry in 2015.

There was a two year period around 2011-2013 where I experimented with my dev team. We were being "forced" to migrate a legacy enterprise system from .Net/MSSQL to Java/PostgreSQL with replace the front end with a moder

Industrial inspection is usually a fairly blunt task and I wouldn't be concerned about accuracy. Especially in high volume environments where training data is plentiful. Think about things like chip placement errors, alignment proble

Moreover, all the frontier labs and hyperscalers are capacity constrained, and will be for the foreseeable future.

Why would they do that? They launched the DGX Spark last year with multiple hardware OEMs selling flavors of the reference device (Dell, Lenovo, Asus). That contains a desktop-sized Grace Blackwell architecture GPU (GB10), and word on the

They don't, not directly. That's why they've generally been winding down DGX Cloud. However, lots of folks dramatically underestimate their frontier models (Nemotron family), and they license those models (free) for embeddi

They are. I don't know why you think you're making that statement sarcastically. GCP started late and from a much smaller base, but has been growing consistently faster than both of their competitors. Moreover, AWS has recently

Robots are widely deployed in manufacturing, just not humanoid robots. The biggest benefit of stationary robots is that their behavior is 100% predictable and they are always where the humans expect them to be. There are certain areas i

The trick to applying these days is to have a contact on the inside that can tell you what the hiring manager is actually looking for, vs what's in the public JD, and then to refer you. That doesn't scale to 10 jobs/day for

The problem isn't plain MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The more nefarious set of issues is around domain-specific software that is only compatible with Microsoft platforms and software. For example, Veeva Vault is the industry s

Are you in the bay area, by chance? I suspect the opening of MicroCenter will mean almost no one around here even thinks to try BestBuy for component hardware. That said, I purchased some peripherals at BB a few months ago because they had

From several engineer answers over a few years from inside Google, the consistent answer was that they created a highly fragmented ecosystem of devices over the years, almost none of which were capable of running the same software stack&#x2

TBH, though, if all they ever do is provide hardware that runs software designed just for that hardware ecosystem, consistently, securely and with decent UX, I'll be happy. That's better than any other consumer computing HW vendo

I think a lot of what's happening is that individuals and their in-groups are replacing social media for comms with chat apps, leaving much of the remaining social media use being either reposting crap or for opinion blasts... or in th
