He’s talking about the hardware and you’re talking about the software.

That feeling when LLM matches your worldview.

Also, this. (Not LLM, but still beautifully disturbing.)

There are good indications that the stock is overvalued by as much as 10 times, even after the recent drops in stock prices. A lot of that appears to be propped up by his hype. If the stock just normalizes to values typical of other car companies, it will be a major blow to anyone that owns the stock.

Pretty sure he can’t, since he isn’t a normal person, just like he and the rest of the board have to announce any shares they buy or sell.

Some youtuber was saying as much. A lot of his wealth is tied up in Tesla and a lot of Tesla’s valuation is tied up in Musk. But Starlink is making far more than Tesla, he owns a larger portion of it than Tesla, and he’s selling Tesla shares. If he makes the right moves he can entirely walk away from Tesla and leave the shareholders holding the bag.

Except that isn’t how it works. The lower your orbit, the quicker your orbit decays due to atmospheric drag. If the atmosphere was 10% less dense, this wouldn’t significantly reduce that at those altitudes. In the current scenario, if every one of those satellites stopped working right now, the vast majority of them (and their parts) would deorbit within 10 years. This would be a bit of a problem for manned space flight, but wouldn’t affect things too much otherwise.

If this was happening in geosynchronous orbit, with comparable amou to of mass, it would be a bigger deal.

I’m not sure of the availability guarantees, but Oracle and other cloud services have free tiers for low CPU/RAM/storage needs. If the availability guarantees are there, this could be an option. It works fine for FoundryVTT and hasn’t cost me anything for the last couple years, and I don’t imagine your projected needs would outstrip Foundry’s.

Given the context, I choose to believe smth means “shaking my tiny head”.

A common fault is to believe only those who can do have the vision to see what should be done. Sometimes they’re even right. You can hear complaints of shortcomings or you can hear suggestions for how to improve a product. And, especially in a volunteer role, you can choose if you want to do it or not.

And? I want more than my parents had. I want my kids to have more than me. How do you think that is going to happen?

Welcome to the internet, you must be new. Keep scrolling through new here and you should see some pretty common jokes about the falliability of AI of various flavors. Criticism of the weighting on training models can be found with just slightly more effort.

Why would you convert to decimal naming conventions when using a binary numbering system? Or do you think numeric values like 42(dec) have inherent names? That’s as silly as thinking that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees or, even worse, 32 degrees.

This is programmer humor.

The problems with single sign-on and retained sign-on made it into The Boys. Most relatable scene in the show for me. I’m not saying my crew are geniuses, but this seems pretty endemic.

Here’s my Jira experience. MS shop, have a programming department, but I’m not in programming and programming isn’t our core product.

Need something that requires a Jira request. I use MS Edge because that’s what IT recommends and it’s not my computer. The only putative upside is that it knows who I’m logged in as. I click on the link for Jira, it asks me if I want to sign in with my account, which I assume is the MS one since it has the right email/user for it. It tells me that’s the wrong one. Would I like to use my Atlassian account? Sure, let’s use the same email. Whoops, you don’t have an Atlassian account, but there’s an MS account for your company. Do you want to use that, or something from the usual list of places that will log you in (Google, Facebook, MS)? Note that the MS option is only included in the list of third-party logins even though it knows my company has MS logins setup. So I click the MS option, and it may or may not ask for my password, because I’m already logged in via Edge, but it will certainly do my 2FA. And now I’m finally able to tell IT what is bothering me, and they wonder why people always seem frustrated.

So, now that I’ve gone through that once, I can save a single click by not choosing the Atlassian account option and go directly to signing in with a third party. I can only assume this is supposed to be the streamlined process.

I’ll give you an upvote just for knowing what type of gem it was. So many South African diamond mine comments smh.

French or standard?

I don’t know, I don’t think I want the best IT person in the world performing an appendectomy.

Just because you’re an expert in one field doesn’t mean you’re an expert in every field.

The other response said it well enough, but I’ll go a step further.

MS made a tradition of moving functionality around in their OS for no other reason that I could glean than grouping things in an at least superficially comparable group and absolutely not where it was in the last version, merely so that certification from the previous version wouldn’t apply to the current one. They would do similar things with their Office application menus, in one version moving them around based on how often you used them (try doing phone support with that!), in another replacing them with little pictures that pretended they were related to their functionality, and again moving them around every version apparently for the sake of requiring recertification.

To top it all off, they would also not give you access to the old menuing systems. You could argue bloat, but that would be ignoring the massive piles of it they added for the sake of animating their new menus alone (which has value, to a degree).

I’m aware of some of the interesting bits of woodworking, as well. I can imagine the response if you told woodworkers that the only hammer/mallet they could use was a 16 oz claw hammer. And the reason we made all those different hammers is because they are the best option for the task they were designed for. You can get away with using a smaller set, especially if your workflow would require using some rarely enough that it isn’t worth adding in their storage and cost to be worth it, but a good woodworker will still be aware of those tools and be assessing their processes to determine if it’s time to expand their toolset.

And the difference between the physical world and the world of computer interfaces is you aren’t limited to just one. The open source world is particularly fond of including deprecated functionality because there are a lot of pieces working together and it will often take years to get everything updated, and you will never know when the last dependency is removed. Likewise with UIs. A lot of the time, a deprecated one can be kept around for those who can’t be bothered to learn the new one, but the cost of keeping the old version around for a few years is usually relatively low (and the developer can determine how much they are willing to have that cost be and do things to help make it stay within that limit). That’s no reason to leave the old version as the default, though.
