There is very likely some sort of energy grant that they are going to get to ‘research’

He got 7 million to do this job. He’ll probably do a half ass job and spend half (if that) to do the actual work.

In 2 months people will forget about this and that dude can basically retire.

Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.

As such they are pretty identifiable. There’s about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.

I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.

Ah, very good

I sorta think this is says more about American rot then it does about history.

If the country was thriving something would have replaced that.

For a ton of people it is theater.

ICE isn’t showing up in their neighborhood or at their work place. Their only experience with that shit is on the news or tiktok and it’s in a state they don’t live in and have never been to.

They actually love brown people. They want their cheap labor and this stuff keeps people afraid and makes them keep their head down. It has the added benefit that they get to parade it around to their electorate like ‘something is being done’

It’s theater to keep poor white people in fly over states from realizing that the people in power are the ones selling them out and have been the entire time.

I mean aside from the touch pads (which I don’t use since I’m a PC gamer I don’t really see how it’s loads better than the wired Xbox controller I already have.

Honestly, unless you were already in the market for a controller I don’t really see the appeal.

To each their own but ours didn’t really require more than an hour a month at most. It’s not running on cutting Edge hardware but chugs along pretty dependably. The back ups probably take the most time but even then ansible does most of the work and we bump the omnibus version once a month in off hours without issue.

It’s reliability was already not super great before the vibe coding hit.

It’s mostly caused by them trying to migrate complicated legacy systems to azure. This type of work is already fraught with danger.

The vibe code just supercharges an already risky endeavor. The LLM code could be perfectly correct but the more dynamic a complicated system the more difficult it becomes to judge side effects of any one change.

The speed of change also means that experts in particular areas of the code base may find their mental model of the system to be out of date and incorrect faster than ever before. This is course also leads to the increased chance of mistakes or unintended side effects.

I thought I would grow out of that edgy take but what can I say, it stuck.

That’s what I call most religious people.

I mean there are tons of options in that space so if it’s an issue that is sorta on your business to have evaluated their dependency.

We work on an internal gitlab instance that has had 100 percent up time for like 2 years. It doesn’t even have to be gitlab, there’s gitea and like 10 other options.

I personally think that the industry has moved so far in the direction of cloud and saas that it’s lost a lot of valuable skills and made them dependent on too much externally.

Which is a ridiculous premise of you think about it for even a moment.

It’s a Friday he’s just messing with the markets and waiting for Taco Tuesday

No one buys a 90k pickup. They get a 90k pickup for 120k and 256 bi monthly payments.

The courts will say he isn’t but you need to give them 2 years to do it. Then he’ll make a tiny change and get two more years.

I think it’s less that 30 is old and more that that is about the age your start to realize the age difference.

You can live most of your twenties and still feel somewhat connected to people plus or minus 5 years. However when you hit 30 you start to have more in common with people who are 40 than people who are 20.

That said I didn’t really have this experience until I was in my late 30s and the little track suit crews with their broccoli cuts showed up. I’m just a late bloomer I guess.

The Republicans don’t care that they are hypocrites. Their electorate doesn’t care they are hypocritical. These tweets are not a gotcha, it’s just engagement bait.

I mean Trump’s a moron but people assumed the US military still had some might.

Problem is the military is only as good as it’s leaders and it’s definitely got Trump disease.

Makes sense though since it’s full of “suckers” and “losers”.
