You probably can read the news once per month and be well informed.

That comparison makes sense. And a lot of management will probably use AI because it’s “cheaper” although the results aren’t very good.

Caring for a dementia patient properly is all consuming for the caretakers. You don’t want to do this to your family. Getting help from a robot would be a win win for all.

My father has dementia. I have some hope that robotics together with AI will make good caretakers for people with dementia. Interacting with him is not very complex. It’s basically just a repeat of the same conversations. Very labor intensi

"All we get now is a blame-game of finger-pointing instead of any solutions. " That's how modern US politics works. They have given up on actually solving problems a long time ago. And people are stupid enough to buy into thi

"Forgive the loans AND tackle the rising cost of tuition by nationalizing? " Have you seen any efforts for tackling the rising cost? I haven't. They have spent a ton of energy on a one-off stunt and have done absolutely nothi

That definitely should be done. But neither party will go after those people. They are donors after all.

I think the Loan Forgiveness Plan as planned was just a very expensive stunt that fixed nothing. Instead they should work on reducing education cost (or at least limiting future growth). Otherwise it's just a straight subsidy for schoo

I struggle with that all the time. We have a lot of offshore people and I am pretty sure that 3 experienced people could take on a project that requires 50 offshore people and get it done in less time at higher quality.

The sad thing is that in many cases working on such a system is a career killer. Nobody wants to hire you. Some years ago a colleague and I realized that our company wouldn’t hire us judging from the job descriptions because we worked on sy

Before we extend life span much, we first need to work on dementia. It won’t be pretty to have a lot of very people with dementia.

Self promotion is just way more accepted in the US vs most European countries. You notice this in ESA vs NASA. I also notice it when I read resumes. Resumes from European countries are way more subdued than ones from the US.

That’s the beauty of the current situation. Instead of government it’s private businesses that are building a surveillance machine of unprecedented scale. The Nazis or Stalin would have loved to have such infrastructure.

One way to keep my sanity is to take a look at the big picture every six months or so. You quickly see that basically nothing has changed but there was a ton of noise in between. The same works for news. Ignore news for 3 months. When you r

It's fine if done in good faith. Debating somebody like Kennedy is a losing proposition. He will bury you with a ton of nonsense that "feels right". Refuting every point takes way more time than you have in a debate.

They may have hired some PM from the MS Teams team. They seem to be successful in their quest for breaking all features that still work. If there is nothing left to do, they move controls around so the user can’t find them anymore.

Gotta love how people blame lack of a company's success on those bad workers. How about actually doing the unimaginable and build decent cars? Almost every time I get a rental from a US car company I am reminded that they don't se

Metrics for software development are pretty hard unless you are just grinding out the same code again and again. From my experience most productivity can be gained by all stakeholders staying actively involved and making quick decisions. I

C# had only block based using for a long time. It made a lot of code unreadable because the using statements introduced a ton clutter. The newer syntax is way better.
