SteveNuts··on American Airlines mechanic Azriel “Al” Blackman has died
It’s very good at that, but aeronautical engineering and maintenance is the last place you’d want that.
SteveNuts··on American Airlines mechanic Azriel “Al” Blackman has died
Yeah it’s great to point an AI at a very detailed and specific engineering manual and have it distilled down into bullet points. There’s certainly no room for information loss in that plan! /s
SteveNuts··on The safest job from AI may be writing

What did you move to and what type of workload, if I may ask?

Remember when Microsoft held a mock funeral for the iPhone? They’re all bark no bite.
SteveNuts··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads

The worst part of Ansible is data manipulation, what would be an easy dictionary operation in Python is a huge mix of lookups in Ansible.

Incredibly frustrating that the data you want is right there but you can't easily grab it.

SteveNuts··on Copy Fail

The “normies”? What does that mean in this context?

SteveNuts··on Big data on the cheapest MacBook
> MacBook Neo's NVMe being slower than the Air/Pro isn't just a benchmark footnote — it compounds with file count in a non-linear way.

The “isn’t just” part is a dead giveaway almost always.

It was changed, but not by me. I copied the headline exactly how it was in the original URL
