A lot of cars also suffer from this.

Again, interesting to see a new account being used to make this comment.

Sad to see this nonsense on hacker new, looks like a bot account.

Simple answer is power, look at how things have changed since Musk bought the largest communication platform on the planet. Look at who's backing him and what they want.

The UK's stance goes right against the values and goals these billionaires want and that's basically to do whatever they want without recourse. What better way to sow diversion than to stoke civil unrest and cause change to the systems that stand in their way.

I like to replace the bus factor with the Lottery Factor.

I actually had a college run over by a bus on the way to work in London, was very lucky and made a full recovery.

Head poking out under the main exit of the bus.

They can focus on being pure transducers rather than being DACs and power amps as well.

In the article the change of interface lead to the person killing themselves.

Yeah the case is quite terrifying.

It reminds me of an episode of Star Trek TNG, if memory serves correct there were loads of episodes about a crew member falling for a hologram dec character.

Given that there’s a loneliness epidemic I believe tech like this could have a wide impact on peoples mental health.

I stronger believe AI should be devoid of any personality and strictly return data/information then frame its responses as if you’re speaking to another human.

This sounds quite dangerous https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/04/gemini-ch...

I had no idea what openclaw was, just checked and no thanks I’d rather do all that stuff myself.

Why are people so keen to let a company get that close to their real life’s, it’s terrifying!

You may still end up with the sausage but the meticulously prepared one will most likely be the most delicious.

I like to think of them as little robots, however I still need to get my partner to move them.

I think it’s their speed which I don’t like!

I learnt a long time ago that there is no such thing as loyalty with regards to work and that if you want to get the most compensation for what you do you need keep moving until you find the place where you happy with the compensation and equally the culture.

However things will change, either at home or at work so you need to balance those out.

When I started out I had this misplaced sense of loyalty to my first job I liked and it really held me back, they paid really low wages but for some reason I felt lucky to work there.

I changed my mindset and realised I’m selling my time to them so I might as well get the best return on my time in both compensation and enjoyment.

The bottom line is you don’t have to except poor pay, bad culture and boring work. You’re in control of your life.

EDIT

Also don’t be scared to ask for a pay rise or bonus. I make a point of doing it at each review and I check its progress in most one to ones. At the end of the day its your responsibility to get paid, you’re employer not matter how good they are us always going to try and save on opex, do you need to take ownership and make sure you’re getting paid what makes you happy.

I wonder if the same thing will happen with cameras?

I remember my first “portable” was so bulky it came with its own carry case like a hand bag.

You had to step very lightly when using it as it was just itching to skip.

It would also eat through batteries like no one’s business.

Just look at what’s going with JetBrains AI quotas and costs, once AI is deeply imbedded and businesses move the cost to customers like JetBrains have these AI companies are going to make a killing.

It’s the drug dealer model, get them hooked on free tastes and then crank up the prices!

Who knows what’s going on in that mad man’s mind!

How does this slop even get on the front page?

My view is I’m an engineer first and foremost and I use the tools which are best for the task at hand. That also means what’s best for the business in terms of others working on the project, this has meant python with some sort of framework.

People have suggested using other languages that might be faster but the business always choices what’s best for everyone to work with.

I’ve been a python dev for nearly a decade and never once thought dep management was a problem.

If I’ve ever had to run a “script” in any type of deployed ENV it’s always been done in that ENVs python shell .

So I still don’t see what the fuss is about?

I work on a massive python code base and the only benefit I’ve seen from moving to UV is it has sped up dep installation which has had positive impact on local and CI setup times.

I believe the phrase is “Ask forgiveness not permission”.

I went to the office the other day, first time in a while and now I have COVID

Apple Cider Vinegar is a great base for mocktails.

To me, LinkedIn is nothing more than a Job advertisement board where you open yourself up to being spammed by the recruiter hoards.

What, pray tell, are these consequences?

I don’t know why I’ve been down voted.

Women are woefully represented and under paid in pretty all work forces.

The same also applies to people of colour.

If the developed west didn’t have an issue with these groups we would have equality, from where I’m sitting things don’t look that equal!

Merry Xmas, I hope you all have a great day!

I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of it!

I’m using the term domain very broadly here, I apologise.

What I mean is, if the job your applying for is mostly about working with implementing 3rd party APIs IMO it makes sense that your tech test represents that to some degree.

Can you understand basic documentation.

Can you use data structures.

Can you write tests and understand what actually needs to be tested.

Can you handle exceptions.

Do you try and get the entire resource?

Believe it or not I’ve joined a team in the past who owned a service where no one knew what pagination was.

Bonus points if you demonstrate that you understand what a transaction is.

And I forgot to add, can you design a sensible database schema.

Can a candidate talk about those simple concepts?

Now, would I be able to do a tech test based around domains in machine learning? I would have to do a lot of research first!

I think they’re useless unless they touch some part of the domain you’re howling to work in.
