What does the code /system look like.

It is going to be more like evolution (fit to environment) than engineering (fit to purpose).

It will be fascinating to watch nonetheless.

Both things can be true. Paul Graham (bless the maker and his passing) declared MSFT dead, but it came back strong.

The copilot fiasco is classic Microsoft Bob territory. They have so much entrenched tech in govt and big corps they can shamble on for years.

Typical Microsoft, not great, not the worst but the overpriced fast casual hamburger of the tech world. An ok meal, somewhat disappointing leaving you feeling greasy with a feeling you paid too much but you know you’ll be back.

Look up precision ag.

It actually didn’t too bad after some back and forth and this too was off the beaten path (hard to find a stack overflow/blog post/etc putting it all together)

Totally worth the $20/mo!!

It would be helpful if people also included what kind of code they are writing (language, domain, module, purpose, etc)

The hallucinations are still there, sometimes worse than others but manageable. This is mostly when I have to do some database management style work. This is off the beaten path and hallucinations are crazy.

1) current admins working hand in glove with current AI hypemen safely bring old nuke plants online.

2) they bring it online but cause a meltdown or two in the process. Investor pressure lead to cut corners lead to meltdowns lead to public opinion turning against nuke power...again. Second nuke power winter begins.

3) something else?

Reminds me I need to check on rebol/red and a few others.

Sellers arent willing to lower prices AND lose a low rate and buyers aren't willing to pay those prices and expect a buyer's market.

Nothing is moving and realtors are hurting.

Something has to pop the bubble, will it be massive job loss that forces relocation or sale for cash and move to apartment?

Who knows?

Google should be stomping everyone else but it's ad addiction in search will hold it back. Innovators dilemma...

Might was well vertically integrate the entire stack with that much cash.

I think I have to be missing what is huge here?

I fought cpan for two days trying to get anything to work.

Switched to java, had it done and in production in an afternoon.

Not a fan of Perl.

I worked at a company that had a 50k bash/perl install script maintained by the 3 person QA team.

Dear lord that was a mess.

Just one. The description, the location and the salary.

Again just one link.

Anyone seen one? Can you post it here?

The cybertruck was a huge boondoggle and only doctors and true beleivers bought them but over time I don't see them in the parking lot when I see the doctors in the building hmmm.

Also Elon "skipping around like a dipshit" (Tim Waltz) and now claiming he's worth a trillion dollars.

By his own admission his identity is entertwined with Tesla's.

He poisened the brand for me and many others.

Long term support for these internet connected data miners is my first thought.

Gimmick is my second thought.

But seriously folks, this is why there will always be room for startups.

Megacorps are slow lumbering beats that suffer from entropy and signal loss at every edge on the graph.

The example here is that some marketing function gets the signal from Zuck to put Lego duplo characters everywhere because metaverse. Of course 90% of the company knows its dead on arrival so they are going to drag feet and try to work on their actual problems (or their local feifdom mandate) and wait for the latest fad to blow over.

Super wasteful, super inefficient but hey ads make an insane amount of money so Zuck can do whatever for a loooong time.

This is why Warren Buffet advocated dividends. Companies and people have few good ideas. Management however uses this money from the good ideas to fund boondoghles (see metaverse). The thinking here is that the money would be better utilized returned to investors to fund other good ideas.

I can't help but believe this is going to weaken our war footing because the dumbest people in the room are behind it. Thirsty Pete does not inspire confidence in the Department of War Thunder.

I mean on the surface it sounds good, but LEAN is why we had no PPE on hand during covid.

In order to have off the shelf supplies we are going have an active international arms market by definition. Is this what we want?

Maybe a few years ago sure.

Text version.

The desynced video makes the video a bit painful to watch.

Programmers are trying to bring them back bc nostalgia I guess?

I floated the idea of TUIs to our data engineering team and got very negative responses. (My nostalgia for undergrad turbo pascal TUI I guess lol)

You have to physically handle every piece of coal. Extract, load ship, unload.

Natural gas is shooting out of the ground in North Dakota.

You can compare to wind and solar also.

The economics aren't favorable.

Sending chunks of html from the backend and updating only parts of the page is what webforms did 20ish years ago.

I'm trying to figure out what the appeal is here?

Manage all state in the server?

Proving this sucks bc smaller practices have horrible staff turnover, the EMRs are dog shit and the contracts are who knows where and in what format.

Recovery is beyond the scope of most small practices.

Its a nightmare where providers are often shorted millions of dollars and that ends up coming out of the patient’s pocket.

Everyone yammering about upcoding on this thread is blissfully clueless.

The data is a disaster. Turnover is high, errs everywhere. Disputing is the easy part. Hard part is finding the contracts lol.
