Being forced to cough up ID or taking a selfie to verify age sounds like something that could be used identify you.

Yeah - the correct way to use an LLM in this scenario is to ask it to put write such a model.

If only you could pipe the waste heat from the data centre…

50mm/2” PVC pipe with a bit of beeswax on the end to protect your lips is a quick way to test out whether you want to spend the time to track down a proper didgeridoo.

I’m convinced that 70% of the workforce of some large organisations is just white collar welfare / adult day care already. Maybe that goes to 80+% as a result of “AI” but doesn’t fundamentally change the model.

Not quite 1000 on Codex as of last day or two!

Does it fully replicate XCode preview and torch your CPU for a full 5 minutes?

I may be wrong, but the simulators seem to be Intel binaries which mess with audio since the last macOS update I did, so no zoom calls with XCode open for me.

“Free”. Presumably tax payer funded in actuality.

And the title bars of the windows. On a 13” screen, that’s a fair percentage of available screen real estate down the toilet

From a company that spent decades harping on about taste, usability, human interface guidelines etc, it’s a train wreck. If Microsoft did it you’d just shrug your shoulders and carry on with life because good taste and usability was never a

Let’s be honest. It’s a mess targeting iOS. It’s like the old days with VB - first 80% done in no time, last 20% takes forever, requiring ever more elaborate hacks to get around stupid restrictions (eg try hiding the keyboard associated wit

If the objective is to put files where you can’t find them again, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better alternative.

Indeed. That was the very company I was thinking of! The Mincom EAM product (Ellipse) now sits with Hitachi and their technical mining products found their way to Datamine after ABB acquired Mincom, then divested the acquired assets a few y

Hope you just overlooked the auto-playing video ads due to the pressure of the interview. When can you start?

ERPs supporting complex asset maintenance (eg mineral processing plants in the middle of nowhere) have a different flavour of complexity, although you could argue they are EAMs.

Cow poo and periodic trampling are an incredibly important part of topsoil development in a number of ecosystems - eg prairies.

Not in Australia. Our dollar has taken a beating too. I guess digging holes and selling property to each other at ever higher prices isn’t that interesting to the rest of the economic world.

Not the original commenter, but it regularly fails to update emails unless it is restarted. Last 2 major iOS versions have had the same problem for me. That’s a fundamental functionality failure in my book.

Is it still like the archeological dig that was Windows 10 settings?

Yeah - next door didn’t enjoy the arrival of the rock breaker!

100%. Designers in love with white space should not design UIs for engineers (or anyone who lives their professional life in Excel). Lots of margin, padding, drop shadows, ‘round-lg’ etc might look pretty, but when you can only fit two numb

What did it for me was a period of: “I see you are delivering an important presentation. Let me force install an update and reboot three times. Right now.” I’ve spent too long watching reboots to have Windows in my life for my limited time

Hmmm. Maybe that’s why hairdressers are on the skilled worker list for immigration to Australia.

Which is theoretically great, but if anyone can get an Aussie credit card to work, please let me know.

Ha - I’m on the other side of the grant application process and used an LLM to make a tool to describe the project, track milestones, sub-contractors, generate a costed project plan and all generate the other responses that need to be self-

Is that because you can’t judge the quality of the output?

Australia does bird cacophony. Cockatoos look great but there’s nothing pleasant about their sound IMO. And that’s before they start dropping gum nuts on metal roofs
