These hyperbolic statements are creating so much pain at my workplace. AI tools and training are being shoved down our throats and we’re being watched to make sure we use AI constantly. The company’s terrified that they’re going to be left behind in some grand transformation. It’s excruciating.
It’s not that surprising that an outlet that makes its entire living on a certain segment of the economy would do a better job in that segment than generalist journalists.
If you’ve ever seen a news article about something you have real world expertise in, you know what I mean. Every time this happens to me I’m like “but they’re giving it such a surface treatment, missing the real point, and getting lots of little things wrong.”
Then I turn to the next article and read it like it’s gospel. It’s a cognitive dissonance I don’t know how to deal with except by becoming an expert in everything, which is impossible.
Panic buying == the republicans’ idea of economic stimulus
It’s not. They already allow multiple app stores so they are not profiting off of every app.
EDIT: people keep downvoting me like I’m bootlicking or disagreeing. I’m actually trying to understand what the suspicion actually is over ending sideloading. There’s definitely a security case to be made, but people don’t seem to buy that. What actually ARE you thinking?
I’ve done it. It’s not the wire crimping I paid for, it’s the crawling around under the house and in the attic to route the runs.
I mean you just described every website in the world, and their relationship with Google search engine traffic. Demonstrably, a business can deal with this. An algorithm can inject uncertainty into a business, but if one is entirely and exclusively dependent on one algorithm, is it really a business?
What ulterior motive do they have for blocking sideloading?
I just wired my house for Ethernet for a a few thousand dollars of electrician time. It’s multiple times faster than any WiFi can be. Why would anyone drop $100k on wifi??
Been paying for Nebula for years, but their app has a long way to go.
If a change in the algorithm hurts, it may be a sign that the algorithm had been helping previously. No one questions the algorithm when viewership grows, but it’s largely to blame for the good and the bad.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of telling half a dozen Google people “no we won’t install your SDK in our app because we don’t trust you, an ad company, with our users data.”
They played innocent but also made it completely clear that they know exactly what I meant and I was not the first person to say this. Chumps.
If that meant giving up a job there, that’s a big statement of principle. Good for you.
Yeah I am in the same boat. I operate a swamp cooler inside my house, even!
But I used to live on a hill in San Francisco, the first hill the fog would hit as it rolled in from the Pacific Ocean, and I distinctly remember the feeling of getting up in the morning and reaching between the hangers in the closet to take a shirt out, and feeling how they were all damp. Super gross!

I would jump out a window if my employer agreed to run these ads.
Jesus Christ the aid that could be paid for with that money…
It’s also just a general pattern that when a skill is in high demand, the jobs pay great. Everyone wants great pay, so the flood the schools to acquire that skill. Eventually things reach a saturation point.
And also there are always charlatan programs that take your money to hand out worthless certifications. As time goes by, these “educations” mean less and less, a lot of people just nab them online because they want to make better money fast, and there are fewer and fewer real jobs unfilled. Until we arrive at a point like this.
It’s a supply and demand issue.
Altman’s face looks like it’s already been punched
People have been complaining about the world going to hell in a hand basket since before hand baskets. There’s just a fun new word for it.
It’s hard to imagine that gaining market share is even meaningful right now. There’s such a profusion of stuff out there. How much does it actually mean if someone is using your product today, I wonder?
It’s not helping that certain people Internally are lining up to show off whizbang shit they can do. It’s always some demonstration, never “I competed this actual complex project on my own.” But they gets pats on the head and the rest of us are whipped harder.
