It happened for me once by pure chance. I was looking to leave a secondment I was on, and received an offer, right as the leader of the client I was seconded to said we’d like to take you on permanently and we’ve cleared it with your compan

My 8yo has an iPad with Osmo Awbie which he loves. You use physical tiles to program steps in a logic game like “move right 3”, “turn 90deg”… They have a bunch of other programs too but for some reason I seem to only be able to find them on

The tortoise and the hare is an important point to raise - this is exactly how I feel. But how long before AI is Good Enough that the point is irrelevant?

I agree with this outcome. When you do raise issues nothing gets done about them and so if you continue down that path they will see the writing on the wall and plan your replacement. “Everything is fine” until a key milestone is hit - it’s

This remote colleagues problem is my issue. I don’t mind coming back in (except the cost) but it is very irritating and pointless as I’m a project manager with dispersed teams all across the country (and some in other countries). I come int

Sorry I don’t have advice but as someone who started in infra before cloud, and has recently been involved in data (Fabric, PowerBI) programs, don’t take the steep learning curve of infra lightly. You might think there was quite a lot of de

Sounds pretty close to the dystopian predictions…….

Wasn’t NHS data anonymised, split into sets and sold a decade ago, then some corp bought multiple sets of the data and combined them easily, de-anonymising it?

Or you may find they write higher quality code - less bugs, more performant code, or so on.

Why should web browsers treat http like a bug? Many sites don’t need https.

In what dystopian world did they think this was what their customers want? Oh right I forgot the end user is not their customer.

From the FAQ it appears to be similar to Protonmail - emails stored on their servers, however the key “decentralized” difference being that you locally hold the encryption key so any attack on the server can’t decrypt the emails as you hold

I work in a large law firm and see similar outcomes, coming from a similar fast paced background. I’ve drawn a different conclusion as to “why” though. Law firms are inherently risk averse. As such things do take time to dot the i’s, and th

I always wonder how enforceable these blanket rights would be in court. Didn’t Meta claim to own end users’ photos in the T&Cs back around 2009 and it got challenged and shot down (ianal)?

They’re generalising to say the world uses Apple, Google, Microsoft, Zoom, Cisco, Tesla, and so on… US tech stocks. We use them and they gain revenue and profit. Of course there are many successful tech co’s outside the US but (and I haven’

How many bits of paper does a restaurant need? How much electricity does their webpage menu use running 24/7. I can’t tell if you’re joking but no ESG professional would care about a paper menu’s impact sorry.

A few years ago there was definitely document processing automation and query based filtering but still alot of human work. I assume you’re right and AI now does some of the work but I doubt all of it. Also how reliable would the AI be… you

Hmm. A couple years ago I think one large firm I knew their aws instance had about 400tb I think. Constantly growing with new cases. They had instances around the world this was just one.

They’re saying that LLM’s are not reliable for correctness. My experience with LLM’s so far agrees with that. So why use an LLM when you can use sql queries directly and know the query is correct?

Yes but no one with power will do anything about this. And all the other blatant privacy violations. Hell powerful people can’t even agree to slow down destroying the earth!
