Sure but that is the ruling class's perspective. What about the people who want TT? You can not hold them hostage to Chinese people not having TT or other apps. That's what the current Red Note revolt is all about.

I hear you but we can look at it in many different ways. I still own the solution, I am still going to certify the output. But maybe it allows me to be more productive so I may go soft in some areas, but deliver more in other areas by knowi

Many a times. I asked it a simple non programming question. My last paycheck was December 20, 2024. I get paid biweekly. In which year will I get paid 27 times. It got it wrong ... very articulately. I run into this every single day.

ChatGPT does much better when it gets it right. Stackoverflow will have duplicates, approximates and what not and sometimes that works. But at other times, you hunt for a half hour before you figure it out. You can throw the problem at Chat

I have the $20 version, I fed it code form a personal project, and it did a commendable job of critiquing it, giving me alternate solutions and then iterating on those solutions. Not something you can do with Google. For example, ok, I like

It could be doing all that actually but you are not obliged to install all your apps on the burner, just the basic minimum.

Been there, done that. And sorry for the long anecdote. This was not a new job, but I got re-orged. There were a bunch of personnel changes and my manager's manager was also new in the role, but he was an old hand in the product we wer

Imagine if you could have one human operator able to go anywhere in the city for every 50 active cars ! Of course you can scale the number up and down based on actual needs. Kinda like Tesla AAA. Overhead will be less than having a driver p

My first hand observations: took 4 months to hire, 5 months for the candidate to start. My first hiring in a corporate world so I had to learn a bit. Then we are expected to plan for diversity, not even looking at qualified candidates until
