Agile is like communism - everyone does it wrong but if done right it will work. Every single company doing agile sucks at it. All you need is to have a brief chat in the morning, and every couple of weeks go through what needs to be done a

Sentience is a property of animal life. Electrons, software, rocks, etc don't posses sentience, so the notion that ai which is software may be sentient is nonsense.

Correct - there are no examples of evolution in non living things. There are however evolving ways of using things, but things don't evolve, don't think, and don't learn. Uneducated people do assign such attributes to things

I reduced them to 0 by not using AWS. This simple trick lets you install and configure dedicated servers that work just fine. Most of your auto scaling needs can be solved using a CDN. But by the time you reach such needs you'd have hi

Yup. These are the people society put in charge with keeping us informed. They'll probably need to take jobs are janitors once ai replaces them, as they are prime candidates given how unreliable their writing is.

To me it sounds as if ai workers are trying to oversimply how humans and brains generally speaking work to fit their narrative. A bit among the lines of "if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bicycle". Emulating neurons doe

It is among some south europeans, such as greek or portuguese. The few english people I met there were happy. Unironically, they were happy they earned a higher wage and could afford property. But that was in bucharest. The most portuguese

That’s still quite an issue, considering Romania is not a prime example of economic development. Puts things into perspective.

Nominal GDP is irrelevant, unless we want to impress the economically illiterate. Let’s face it - the UK is rich but the people are poor. A lot wanted east europeans out because it reminded them if what they are: poor.

Perhaps you are not familiar with how ai and machine learning work, and that’s okay, but ai doesn’t “study” and most certainly doesn’t “inspire” itself. It builds token databases that it then regurgitates. There no resemblance of human beha
