I think this is what makes this new model different - they apparently work with another software company which (probably) should be better.

The moment you focus on quality, your price can't be that low. Then good luck competing with VW or other cars. These cars are garbage, people are happy because they are cheap, shiny and have all multimedia and can do 400KM... why not.

Sorry but reading Volkswagen and "crappy products" in the same sentence means either you never drove one or you've got very high standards, but then you're happy with BYD... These new Chinese cars are literally flooding

Absolutely not my type of game. But man, kudos to you! I wish you at least 2x the sales you got until now!

Inefficiencies are often the consequence of corruption or a mindset/culture that fosters favoritism vs merit, because not everyone is either smart enough to want to improve their companies or is willing to do what it takes to do so. Wh

Sorry but I don't buy that a specific process can solve that problem. DDD can actually add quite some unnecessary complexity, not only because it requires that everyone is skilled to know how to apply it, but also because sometimes you

> Software estimation is a joke because there's no penalty for underestimating. In my experience, while this might be true in some companies, I noticed that most of the time the issue with estimations is the lack of clarity (=what d

I see it differently. They need to dismantle bureaucracy to accelerate, NOT add new international agreements etc that would slow them down. Once they become leaders, they will come up with such agreements to impose their "model" a

To be honest, no. This is the natural evolution of a project that needs a huge amount of data and so on. For me it's more suspicious the "project Stargate" than this one feature.

They created an untameable beast (China) thanks to the "cheap factories" there and they thought they would stay that way. What a bunch of idiots. The propaganda keeps telling us that they don't invent, they can only copy etc.

What a joke OpenAI has become.

I doubt this was done in 1 week. Obviously this product had to be released. It takes a lot of design to build stuff for Government, lot of bureaucracy etc.

I think it has more to do with the psychological effect than with money itself. We're used to think that in difficult situations you cut the useless "fun" expenses. When that doesn't happen in a company, people blame it

I agree. Mismanagement of funds is one of the worst things. Is it pure incompetence? Or is that they don't give a damn and that "let's get together 500+ people for a fully paid weekend" is too cool to cancel? ...like bet

That's because they have a budget which is planned ahead (e.g., 2024 for 2025) for everything. Typically if the company is really in financial trouble, they will also NOT use the pre-allocated budget which was not yet spent (=200k for

The issue is that we're used to think in terms of Legislative, Judiciary and Executive. That's what most modern democracies are based on. If you look at this the old way, Hitler wasn't above the law, he was the law, because t

Ahahah I believe you! Some forums were really bad. :)

Kind of, yeah. IRC, simple php forums, no TLS, easy stuff. Nowadays we're full of technology and very poor content. In no way can mastodon (mentioning because it's the defacto decentralized social media) solve that problem. It&#x2

basically go back to old SMF/php forums with maximum 100s of known people. I thought about this recently… It was really better times. Even decentralized mastodon is too big and it makes it far too easy to post BS and hateful / unh

Can't stop thinking about all the sad and angry circus clowns who are associated to things like serverless or other interesting "bandwagon effects" :)

This is what EU as a whole does (reduce CO2 by X% within Y years), e.g., the 2030 climate targets. However, there is a very strong correlation between reaching those targets and the broad/accepted definition of renewables. Again, I und

> What has value is no emissions that kill people, and no CO2 Neither of them can be reached with coal/gas/other fossil fuels. In addition, having 100% renewables means that you have an entire society ready for it - from infra

Yeah but to modernize a company to switch from oil to electricity, if possible at all, requires significant investments. In Germany this has been a major problem for many companies that invested to be greener and the costs were huge. It doe

Drill baby drill is not for Americans. It's to make countries in EU buy the American gas/oil so that we (europeans) get it from US rather than other countries. Trump already mentioned something like that a few days ago. The guy is

by mk89 2y ago
And I guess bringing renewables to 62% solves that problem? Honestly I find the goal of 100% renewables awesome. But take it easy, with Merkel we reached a very high percentage in a steady way - why not to proceed like that instead of getti

This is visible also in Germany since 5-10 years. There has been now some development of really tasty alternatives, from the classic "radler" now with a mix with everything (e.g., Becks Ice) to 0.0% alcohol like Bitburger Isotonic

Well, you could think about making more money for retirement. Not saying you need to get crazy about it, though. I am not sure how the hell we will be able to manage that (retirement) with the lifestyle we got today. Not that I am rich, far
