the search engines were overwhelmed with so blogspam before AI; now it’s an awful state.

But I still use them instead of AI. It’s just really hard to find a primary source. AI hallucinates. Human knowledge catalog has peaked.

TGV and NightJet are amazing, in comparison to American flight. They have their issues, of course.

This is how generations of Iranians become radicalized.

This is the guy who’s head of Office. The person responsible for greenlighting Copilot in Excel

Steinem was also a CIA plant.

In my experience, The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.

Boring Company

Looking for money, somewhere, anywhere, as long as it’s hard currency. They’re running out of fake collateral.

It’s missing a /s for some people but it’s exactly the attitude.

Tech ran out of new ideas over a decade ago. They’ve enshittified everything. The people are tired of it.

GAAP or GTFO

Lunchtime video games.

But also SharePoint, virtual. Bloated crap.

I was issued a laptop with 32GB for standard office work. 15 years ago our devs had 128GB. Of course, that was before COVID and AI insanity.

Lane keep drives me of the fucking road when it’s sunny and the cameras can’t see straight.

Automatic braking loses it because of shadows but misses the goddamn elk.

I really love adaptive cruise, but i can see how many people (especially with lane centring) tune out - and make it a liability.

What most people don’t do is drive many vehicles. The difference between safety features on cars - and it’s not always price that is the differentiator - is staggering. Stability control isn’t the same between a Toyota and a BMW. Not halfway. A $90,000 GM and a $15,000 smart car are generations apart - the smart wins, at least on traction control. Unfortunately it’s not easy to test all these features empirically.

It’s no wonder people turn it off.

Freedom! Only in areas where theres NIMBYs in HOAs.

A former manager had team lunches every month. It wasn’t mandatory but it was a day that we could go in and team members would be there. It was also not a day taken up with general business update meetings and the like, so we could get work done.

The key is ensuring that people know when they can go in and see other people they know, not just the marketing team.

HR drone always talks about how nice it is to see everyone collaborating in the office when we come in for quarterly meetings.

Nobody is getting work done. We’re all “collaborating” about sportsball or coffee machines or whatever it is, or just trying to tune it out. It’s a full day of productivity lost for nearly everyone there. Not to mention the early rise for a commute, cost of the commute, missed workouts, and exhaustion on the return home.

“Copilot, I get an error when I run this code”

“An easy fix for this would be to remove the WMIC component from Windows”

…

If Iran can run the Navy ragged, imagine what India or China can do

Getting as far away from Ukraine as he can.

Well… if it’s in a cloud provider with 3 copies locally and 3 more geo-redundant why would we need that?

You’re right, but it is an easy fallacy to fall into.
