>"durrr it's just matrix multiplications" mfer so is your brain.

Tell me you don't know anything about neuroscience without telling me you don't know anything about neuroscience.

Worth it to who?

I'm sure it seems "entirely fine" to you but the people being forcibly moved off their land have a very different reaction. I guess it comes down to who gets the gold mine and who gets the shaft...

This isn't a real surprise to anyone who knows how "AI" works.

Why on earth would you need to do that for most things? Not everyone wants to be the next Coreweave. It sounds like you're killing a fly with a cannon to me.

As many commenters have pointed out, a lot of that wealth will disappear into the grubby hands of private-equity-owned assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

I'd have said ghouls. At least vampires are sexy...

Hopefully that EVP feels embarrassed that a big bet was made that not only didn't pay off but left the company in a worse position. Some schadenfreude may be all you can expect, since this is an executive.

You talk about that like it's a problem...

> I never connect my smart TVs to the network, I just plug in my Apple TV and move on.

You're not alone.

"We don't want you here" sounds like a perfectly good reason to me.

Every developer has had this fight with management and most lose.

This is the funniest thing I've read all week.

"much more demand than supply"? Demand from who?

Someone in management read and misunderstood "The Velocity of Money" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money)?

>I see people at work who are drooling about being able to have code made for them .. but I'm not in that group.

+100 for this.

Rumors are worth exactly what you pay for them.

Good. Now do (Florida Senator) Rick Scott.

"Monopoly abuse"? Apple Pay was a huge leap forward in preventing credit card info theft, to the point that I only buy gas at stations that use Apple Pay to avoid having my bank account emptied by someone running a pump skimmer.

"existential threat to Windows" - from your lips to whoever's ear.

>Gemini can know everything in my Google account

Sorry, this just made shivers run up my back.

It's conceivably politically incorrect to use this reference, but Apple was begging the EU not to throw them into that briar patch.

Apparently not. This is the most perfect example I've seen of "I can recite it, but I don't understand it so I don't know if it's really right or not" that I've seen in a while.

I don't get offended. I've built software for my entire (43+ year) career and call myself a software developer (and back in the day a computer programmer) and I have never worked in a place where they treated it like actual engineering but have worked in plenty of places that had the "never enough time to do it right but plenty of time to do it over" attitude

Depends on the app and how it's built. There are ways to architect native mobile apps that give a lot of flexibility, and there are even ways to build both the native and web apps that help with information architecture and UX consistency but you have to design them with that in mind.

>feature teams" can't easily ship native desktop UI because feature team eng only knows web...

This is the bane of a lot of the native developer's existence. Add to that the designers that only know how to use Sigma plugins and it just makes it worse.

One can certainly hope so.

One Furby codes and a second one reviews...

Sic

Yes, but given who was running DOGE it was never going to work.
