38·5 days agoRemindMe! 3y “reply to this thread”.
21·6 days agoAnyone who has played the ‘Risk’ board game has an idea what the next moves should be.
Tweezers.
When you realize how many wars were averted because of them.
2·8 days agoGood read. Sad ending that all that work ended up nowhere.
Country is doomed. I was the best. January 6th rioters were victims. Inflation is their fault. Criminal immigrants, eating your cats and dogs.
When it came to Roe v Wade, he turned it into state rights (sadly, nobody pointed out that was the same, pro-slavery Civil War argument).
Then she said people in his rallies were bored and were walking out. That’s when he spun out of control…
It was amazing, watching how easy it was for her to get under his thin skin.
NEW feature: As you drive down the road, Ford cars will automatically take over and drive you to the nearest sponsor location. Hungry? It will take over and swerve into the nearest KFC drive-thru. Next stop, CVS pharmacy, then Office Depot.

When this whole ‘training’ trend started a few years ago, there were companies offering image and video labelling services.
It turned out they were mostly sweatshops in low-income countries, where people sat in front of monitors and just dragged boumding boxes around sections of images and picked from an icon menu. Here’s a car, here’s a person, here’s an apple. That sort of thing. You didn’t even need to know how to read or write.
Of course, the quality was questionable, so they needed a second layer of supervisors verifying the choices. But even with that, the cost was way lower than having an engineer or QA person do it. IIRC, there was a bit of hue and cry when stories came out of big tech companies supporting sweatshop conditions.
Sounds like it’s still ongoing.

NEW, automated children’s bicycle. Guaranteed to teach the little tyke how to ride! *
- ^Comes with training wheels, and adult monitor standing by at all times.^
They missed speculation, hearsay, and guesstimation.
“Team-based shooter eight years in the making had just 25,000 estimated sales.”
A few jobs ago, everyone hated the tech stack. The people who had come up with it had long left. I talked to everyone, then came up with a plan to transition to a modern stack. Got buy-in from management.
Half the people (and all who had said they hated the status quo) threatened to quit if we made the change.
Fortunately, it was just in time to collect the 1-year retention bonus. Life’s too short. Walked away.
Let’s hope no single person worked on that thing for the full 8 years under development. Would be crushed.

I just tried it last week. Good start. Lots of promise.
Wait until AGI!
AGI: Yes.
Wait until the sentient robots!
Sentient robots: Yes.
Wait until biological…
Biologics: Glub, glub. Yes.
I actually like it when these code helpers guess from one line what the rest should be and suggest it. It’s even more fun when it keeps guessing and the suggestions get progressively more whacky. Then they just start making completely unrelated shit up.
Once you say no, it goes back to the beginning and meekly repeats the very first suggestion, like a scolded puppy.

The problem with Chinese EVs is that they show it’s possible to innovate, keep prices down, and mass produce.
Ford, GM, even Tesla, are spending all their time whining about how it’s just not possible to compete. They point the finger at worker wages, instead of improving engineering and design, materials, manufacturing processes, and not chasing stock-market gains.
Stop making $70K SUVs and start making $20K Taurus and Escort EVs. You did it once. You can do it again.
