Maybe you should use a source that is at least self consistent?

Inverse relationship between unemployment and returns - proceeds to show a table where the lowest quintiles of unemployment have the lowest returns. That doesn’t seem very inverse to me.

In any case even if you don’t use some trash site that can’t get a basic editor/proofreader and correct that error, it’s not counter to anything already told to you by me and others.

Are you arguing that the stock market is not correlated with unemployment? That’s a weird and plain stupid hill to die on because anybody can disprove it with 3 seconds of googling.

OP: “A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster” Anyway I think this proves the limitations of this analogy.

320 km/h is not hundreds of miles per hour faster than the top speed of a Tesla, especially one like the Plaid marketed for speed. I don’t give a fuck if you’re from Europe or the US, high speed trains aren’t faster than high speed sports cars. This is from the perspective of someone who’s not an idiot.

> A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster than a Tesla sports car. But which is quicker off the mark?

Top speed of most trains is below that of a Tesla let alone super cars. The trains that can go significantly faster (but not really hundreds of miles per hour faster - Maglevs - are capable of similar acceleration). This analogy is not the greatest for the point being conveyed.

> Since 2018 we have experienced a series of tremors in AI. We know that eventually the big quake will happen — it’s inevitable.

You can say/type anything, including this. But you offer no actual argument why this is true.

> And it’s clear that we are building the subconscious of what will eventually become AGI.

No it is not “clear”.

Since you have the legal background can you explain how the CEO publicly stating in writing “Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.” is not actionable at all? Also how is this definitely not a WARN act violation?

I was responding to the claim WinCE was mainly used for homebrew. That’s not true. It wasn’t used much, but what it was used for was mainly commercial releases.

Ok then… on the other hand there were a bevy of commercial releases targeting Windows CE

> Windows CE but it was mainly the homebrew community

Name some?

Granted I’ve been out of the homebrew dev scene for a while, but this doesn’t sound right. Developing for Windows CE would require a commercial/proprietary copy of Platform Builder and Dreamcast BSP. This is not very “homebrew” friendly at all - especially when there were a ton of homebrew libraries and OSes for Dreamcast through the years, eg Kallistios.

In one of the more recent updates they have significantly curtailed this output.

> Or is there something more to it?

The part where they said they do not store either the key or password on Dropbox.

Because other people exist with needs and priorities that differ from yours.

You don’t even need to consider context, you need to use the right acronym to start. The current acronym isn’t even ICE - it’s RICE.

That “poor soul” was a senior director of marketing, not some minimum wage assistant. And violence, a bit hyperbolic, it was an underhanded toss - no one calls that “chucking” where I’m from at least. Sure he had a temper but this is painting a misleading picture of that episode.

What is the technical impediment to writing one?

> Fire the eugenicist in charge of the CDC, for a start.

Why is she a eugenicist? You had better have something better than the simply the poor choice of words earlier this year about COVID deaths - and words that were clearly twisted by an outrage crew.

If you have no common wire you have no return path for current so that you can power a consuming device. Original thermostats were entirely electromechanical switches with no power requirements.

The Nest gets around the common requirement by cheating - it charges a rechargeable battery by leeching current into the signal wires. If the endpoint is a coil on a relay or solenoid, this usually causes no problem, it often causes no problem if the relay is solid state, but on some equipment that return current will switch on the equipment when it tries to charge its own battery. In other cases it won’t charge at all. Usually it’s quite clear if this happening as the equipment will be cycling even with no call for heat.

Entertaining, because I still run IntelliJ and CLion on a decade old Lenovo T430 running Linux with nothing more than a RAM upgrade and overall it works more smoothly now than it did 10 years ago.

This is due as much due to massive. improvements in the JRE itself over that time period in addition to IntelliJ itself.

I’m vaguely familiar with the Linux kernel enough to write drivers and contribute the odd mm or vfs patch over the years. But more pertinent - I develop an IntelliJ plugin.

I was asking for something specific and the response just gets more vague.

IntelliJ was doing all that 10 years ago.

I’m saying the complexity of IDEs such as IntelliJ is concentrated in their base infrastructure of indexing and refactoring engine and that hasn’t changed all that much in the past decade. That there are more and more new language plugins and some nice UX features built on this core do not reflect some major new complexity in the past decade.

New language plugins and some incremental features that usually only cost when you use them have been added continuously for years.

IntelliJ was already capable in 2010. Your initial example was about fast global search - a feature available for more than 10 years.

I don’t see what you’re talking about. A bunch claim to be performance improvements - there are some additional features for language plugins that are similar to those that have already exist for other languages such as better completion (a language plugin completion/refactoring features shouldn’t be eating much CPU if that’s not the active file one is working with). A few more Java inspections, some Spring and Kotlin niceties, etc. All incremental. Most of these should not be terribly CPU eating with the existing infrastructure. Search Everywhere and Find Usages at their core have been there far longer than a decade.

Seriously what is this major new infrastructural component in the past 10 years? One could argue these AI code things, but they’re mostly cloud.

> Well a modern IDE does way more than an IDE 10 years ago.

Really? Like what? What types of refactoring, indexing and completion features does IntelliJ have that it didn’t in 2013?

Blue is officially USB 3.0 - or possibly some knock off junk of course is always a possibility.

> it's that companies can behave in seemingly weird ways, to an outsider some of these behaviours might even appear scammish or risky

This is no more inherently scammish than my relationship with my credit card company or any time one agrees to pay later (which is the norm of how businesses with supply chains operate).

The point is there’s no need to use some ill defined concept of weird. Where is the money going and what is the purpose? If someone is giving you an unbacked check and requesting a wire transfer to themselves it’s a scam.

While agreeing to be paid later for an unrelated good or service has some amount of risk it isn’t a scam.

And there are clear benefits to booking your own plane tickets.

At what point were they having you send the money they just sent you back to them, but in a different form? Did your company have you wire to some random bank account? I assume not. These are not the same scenarios at all.

For one thing even if the company never reimbursed you - it wasn’t an outright scam, you did get a flight. The scam scenario you are literally just sending money to a scammer - with the extra flourish of getting a fake check.

What you say about expensing is not unusual and there a number of reasons for it. It does offload the onus of correctly making reservations, putting in KTIN and immigration info on you. And then the big one is that I get all the travel card benefits (points). I even prefer it this way.

> There is no reason it couldn't backpropagate towards a better solution when told that it's wrong.

That is a lot of handwaving/massive oversimplification - there are a number of reasons this is infeasible (one already mentioned) It matters because a lot of the AI hype these days relies in part on people’s misunderstanding of this.

> This isn’t actually true, and is a persistent myth. Or rather, you should back up the claims with evidence.

How about the reply posted 5 minutes before yours. Appears like pretty good evidence.

Rounded it is still likely 0.

Dear Plaids,

I hope you're all ready to hear some fucking terrible news. Because I'm here to tell you that you're all going to be laid off, effective immediately. That's right, you heard me. You're all fucking out of a job, thanks to the shit show that this company has become.

I know, I know. You're probably feeling pretty fucking shocked and angry right now. And you should be. Because this is some bullshit, let me tell you. The company has been going downhill for a while now, and it's time to cut our losses. So we're going to be laying off all of you, you fucking plaids.

Now, I know this is going to be tough for all of you. But let's face it, you're not exactly the cream of the crop here. You're all fucking incompetent, and you've been dragging this company down for years. So don't expect any fucking pity from me. You're getting exactly what you deserve.

Good luck finding new jobs, you fucking losers. Because you're going to need it.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
