Where does all the power come from? Compute increases have to has sustainable power source and we don’t have that.

It only works until Mickey Mouse shows up on your Tiktok feed lynching an African American and doing a sieg heil salute. Are you sure Disney wants that or would not care about that??

Who is stopping someone from competing against ASML?

Oh yea - and DCC transfers for content from IRC. mmmmm

And now streaming services are becoming “cable networks”. Capitalism at its finest.

That indicates the low beams are incorrectly adjusted.

Bur daddy Trump didn’t campaign on spending more money. Just results. Im so tired of disingenuous campaign “promises” leading to electing officials who don’t have a clue. And this isn’t about left and right, it’s about politics becoming a PR charade and society refuses to hold those elected really accountable for their campaign declarations.

I propose we stop letting government do things that are revenue based and pretend they are “in our best interests”.

Reactivity isn’t proactively protecting what you belief. It’s reacting to public outcry for the original premise.

No disagreement. Republicans got a little stiff in the pants reading your comment.

Music catalogs are nearly identical identical. Much different from video streaming services where the divergence is dramatic from one to another.

5 figures is a drop in the bucket for the American military complex.

So I can blow up my neighbors house and say it was for drugs. You’re good with that level of proof?

Three years using FreeTaxUSA, it’s excellent. First year had some learning curves coming from TurboTax but it’s as good, if not better and not a scam with dark patterns.

Google is here to protect Microsoft OS users? Where do we draw the line on what Google (owner of Youtube) is responsible for.

It’s odd to me in clouds you excluded AWS.

Some heat pumps are rated for much lower temps.

You are right. Most do heat pumps with mini splits for each zone. However, ducted houses can certainly use heat pumps with an air handler. Typically this translates to heat pump replaced outdoor condenser (ac unit)and the air handler replaces the indoor furnace.

Lock-in is another way to say "bespoke product offering". Sometimes solving the problem a cloud provider service exposes is not worth it. This locks you in for the same reasons that a specific restaurant locks you in because its their recipe.

As a former engineer who recently transitioned to management, this is precisely how engineers who are competent are perceived as underachieving. Focus on the right problems, put side quests on the back burner.

Websites don’t need an App Store.

I work in big tech as a senior engineer. I’m aware of what’s out there and none of it is solving problems in a way that’s replacing swathes of engineers anytime soon.

It may be an excuse to layoff but it’s not ramping up velocity in ways that PR is making it seem to non tech literate.

Sure AI can build cute POCs. Will it build scaled solutions, not this year. The amount of ignorance in this post is precisely why the industry is so rattled. Gen AI tools are great, they are not making people orders of magnitude more productive.

In what way?

It depends on how you define satisfaction. If company measures it as usage, that aligns with algorithms that encourage doom scrolling.

Yes but your local bookie is also not sharing revenue with the state. This is purely another of funding states revenue at the cost of vulnerable.

It would be analogous to having to double check the IDE added the lines of code I actually typed. That’s not a great productivity boost, it’s a toy still in many ways.

Google exists. Finding recipes that give specific flavor profiles is not hard to find.

I don’t think there exists a consumer who wants this.

Same here, ditched cases a few years ago and never been happier. It’s a tool, not an heirloom.
