On-demand GenAI could definitely change the meaning of "You" in "Youtube".

Interesting. I do recall the U2 needed a chase car for landing [0], but I don't remember the challenges in takeoff. Any good resources on it? The concept I found in this essay occurred to me a few days ago after reading a news article

Maybe they will have to transition from Base 26 counting to Base 64!

AGI, I believe, given the prior article the author cited in the beginning.

It's interesting and funny from a tech perspective that auto-suggestions on iPhone got him. It's also proof that 1) security processes are important for a reason and 2) don't discuss information you don't want getting ou

In regards to Federal agencies, a lot of it comes down to many people just not knowing much about these agencies, and much of what they do know are the scary bits and pieces capitalists have broadcast through their media (I hesitate to just

This is a good question. The other question that I haven't yet seen the answer for is how anyone will make money off of an AGI, if such a thing is actually feasible in the near term. As it is the business model for just LLMs and genera

I don't argue with your point regarding how many engineers have their PE. I don't have mine. My point is that accreditation boards and trade unions can help set standard minimums of what an engineer (or trades person) will know

Consistent educational standards leads to a common shared understanding of what knowledge and training your engineering colleagues have. This also makes it easier right off the bat for an employer to know what a "junior" engineer

If they have an undergrad degree in any of those disciplines then their college has ABET accreditation.

Civil, mechanical, electrical, and most other engineering disciplines have an accreditation board. I don't think they are pushing a "flawed" ideology in those disciplines. At least I don't see civil engineers constantly

I quite like the idea of a trade union or accreditation board for SWE. The idea that we all work by a shared set of standards and terminology is appealing.

I think the idea is definitely to trigger a recession, but I doubt they care about "allies"; this crowd loved the zero-interest rate days. A strong enough recession should bring those back without the drama of the president forcin

That's the minimum they charge. The maximum they charge is how much they think customers are willing or have to pay. If the general mood is that tariffs will cause inflation, then price gouging will likely occur.

I've seen this trend regressing where I live, most restaurants I go to have done away with the QR codes (unless it's a brewery/distillery kind of establishment).

This is definitely true, however many of us remember Musk declaring himself a "free-speech absolutist", so in most cases people are referring to his hyprocisy rather than his legal rights. [0] https://x.com/elonmus

In my experience, if you can't create an agenda, then it's more than likely the meeting is unnecessary.

> Like, just give a file browser so I can load a directory, for god's sake! It's much, much less effort than implementing a media library! I see you don't know the challenges of disk access on Android for developers.

Interesting! Would be curious to know what that is like.

In my opinion it seems like an experimental competitor to VS Code while also giving them a way to dog food new Java-based UI frameworks (KMP, Compose).

A tax cut probably won't do a lot to help people who aren't making taxable income.

The electoral college was created to prevent a majority from doing such things, but having the electoral college override the will of the people creates all sorts of problems (and possible tit-for-tat in future elections).

Unfortunately, the best they can do is "This is my confidence on what someone would say given the prior context".

Asking a software engineer to be more productive is akin to asking a mechanical engineer to be more productive. What does that end up looking like? More useless blueprints? It turns out when you ask software engineers to just crank out code
