One of the FAQ questions is: Will an American company soon be able to view my data?

This tells a lot about US street cred atm. This was added to the website not because of niche political activism but by a sizeable concern of the population.

Im confused by this line, standards are meant to promote compatibility, not design. They're a way to, well... standardise processes and things. Its almost a given that you'll have to compromise on design to be able to include enough variance to appease the majority of use cases. It is also desirable, I think, of a standard to not give in to edge cases and niche uses and stay as simple as it can to the general use. There will be other niche standards for those and that is a good thing.

Standards survive and die for the same reason they're created, they make things cheaper, faster and easier. Once they fail at those, they give in to newer entrants. Physical standards can also make things safer, but safety must be enforced as people often are bad at judging risk and prefer the other features to a fault.

Second line: You presumed that out of feeling? I did not write anything hinting at that.

Trump might not have a choice not because they don't exist, but because he is incapable of understanding them. He's clear on not believing in win/win scenarios.

And then a few seconds later: "US oil companies will go into Venezuela"

Never the US has been so honest around so many lies in the same speech.

I am still curious about the whole side bar about Washington being now safest and free of crime.

Maduro is not good for Venezuela.

The US should not be the decider of who stays in power on another country.

The president should not have the power to apprehend a countries president IN THEIR COUNTRY without a process thats more than just "I really want it".

The US is giving another clear message that it does not care about global order, just global control. We're back in the 70s.

There is ZERO concern of the current US administration about the welfare of Venezuelans, its a power play, if maduro played by the US rules, he would be in power regardless of crimes. Pinochet, The Brazilian regime are all here as testament to that.

I hope the power change turns out better for the Venezuelans. I hope this is a catalyst of change for a better government. Ideally one that does not sell itself to the US for legitimacy. I don't think that is the likely outcome.

AWS makes the life of finance and leadership a lot easier because they spend a lot of money justifying their superiority in ways that you don't have to think too hard to use and be taken seriously. They're to CTOs what think tanks and lobbyist are for lawmakers.

"No one got fired for buying ibm" for the new era.

There is a lot of truth in AWS propaganda, they're great for many things. But some of it is built on lies, cost being one, performance another.

Those keystrokes are not just saved on writing, they make the whole code more legible and easier to mentally parse. When reading I don't care if the variable is a specific type, you're mostly looking whats being done to it, knowing the type becomes important later and, again, the IDE solves that for you.

So are modern subways. Cost is a major point tho, subways are designed to move waaaaay more than 30k people a day for much less, but costs of building are much higher.

This is only 1.7 miles and a novelty, I would not know If the differences hold for Tesla on other places or when scaling up. My suspicious is that it does not.

I also wonder that if you use the same tunnel they did but modify the cars to run by themselves using traditional techniques, would the operation get cheaper but the shortcomings be more glaring.

This is to get rid of the media only. You'll still be using the original compute hardware. But it would be an interesting step.

I feel that most of the desire to upgrade is cultural and not technical. People love to talk about the floppies being used while its just a small part of the equation. Cost and risk of creating a new system with the same reliability expectations is hard when the incumbent has decades of iteration. For systems that do not require more performance or energy efficiency the accounting on upgrading looks very different.

Question, how familiar are you with the used technologies? My experience on where Ai have been useful so far is things I don't have a good understanding on but, when I do, its a different ball game, mostly because coding it directly seems faster since I know exactly the behaviour I am looking for and I am not having to deal with unintended consequences.

I see it as the Alice cat thing, when you don't know where you going, any road will take you there. So its been great for exploratory work and prototyping.

In the future no one will have to code. Well compile the business case from UML diagrams!

My pipe dream is that Proton becomes so successful that it kills itself by making linux gaming profitable enough to be first party supported. My long wish of having a decent gaming and development environment will finally come true, just in time for me to not care so much about one or the other.

So there is nothing to fix, the nice choice screen is a feature.

The far gone age where people did not use Ai to code, I remember it, it was last week.
