At which point you've gained very little efficiency in most large organizations given that by the time you're actually doing development work at the ticket level 90% of the project timeline (identifying issues, prioritizing, creat

What? Lol, they've been doing that the entire time. They're very open about the playbook lol. Bow down, or get harassed, sued, investigated, fined, etc.

It's not the _cellphone_ that Stallman has an issue with lol

But if everyone acted like Stallman then solutions that have gone away such as public payphones would come back due to their requirement. He doesn't give a crap if a random phone record of his appears in a random haystack, and that&#x2

Really? I'd think a human being would be more likely to recognize they'd crossed a boundary with another human, step back, and address the issue with some reflection? If apologizing is more likely the response of an AI agent than

I guess you could have two people per presentation, one person who confirms whether to slide in the generated slide or maybe regenerate. And then of course, eventually that's just an agent

Wow, I'm staggered, thanks for sharing I was under the impression that often times chip manufacture at the top of the lines failed to be manufactured perfectly to spec and those with say, a core that was a bit under spec or which were

Sounds like you should build a competitor if that's literally all it is... I suspect there's quite a few other things you have to consider when you're managing trillions of dollars of transactions a year. Fraud, settlement ti

I think it's a fair point to say that many people do not feel as if they're the ones responsible even if they're direct contributors.

A lot of folk justify it to themselves. I've heard "well, you have to change things from the inside" before. And a lot of people have been there for a while, it wasn't always... quite as bad even if a lot of the warning

Oh ya, AI may be frothy and bubbly right now but there will certainly be and already are tremendous real world software and hardware products and tech flowing out of the space

I think this is the crux of why, when used as an enhancement to solo productivity, you'll have a pretty strict upper bound on productivity gains given that it takes experienced engineers to review code that goes out at scale. That bein

That's been my target for the last... wow... has it nearly been 18 years since I started futzing around with Bitcoin for the first time? Been a swift drop this time. My buddy goes "if only I sold it all in October", what... l

The thing is, if they were uploading your messages, then they'd want to do something with the data. And humans aren't great at keeping secrets. So, if the claim is that there's a bunch of data, but everyone who is using it to

Yea, I know, but smart phones are getting bigger and bigger. I'd rather a much nicer camera, and a small dumb phone which texts and calls. As opposed to a smart phone with a much worse camera, that also texts and calls and does maps. I

Yea, when I'm on the move I rarely use more than texting and the camera. So I got a Nokia flip phone, and I'll see how it is. Worst comes to worst it'll be 90 bucks lost and I'll move back to something a bit more full fe

I mean, why not be concerned about both lol? We can do two things at once I think, and both of those things sound fairly negative.

I just bought a flip phone and a cool pocket sized camera. I've gotten down to leaving my phone at home a fair amount, and leave my phone on a speaker that's not near anything I sit on when at home. It's awesome, come on back

"Congress has been in a state of relative gridlock for many years, across multiple administrations whether republican or democrat. As a result, presidents have increasingly been leading by executive order rather than legislation. That

I feel like if you're really spending a ton of time on off by one errors after twenty years in the field you haven't actually grown much and have probably just spent a ton of time in a single space. Otherwise you'd be senior

This is why Hackernews and all other social media are blocked on my phone which I now leave across the room all day long when at home, and at home when I go out a lot of times. Now, I read the New Yorker which I had a pile of half read issu

Regulations are neutral. They can be positive, or negative. And should be pruned occasionally probably. And yea, we have lots of old lead pipes here in certain places. But let's not pretend we can't find fault with the immigrant g

You don't think boycotts work? You should ask Target how they feel about that comment. And, amazingly enough, "boycott all these goobers" is not the _only thing_ in the world a person can do at once. But sure, keep hurling mo
