Eric Schmidt? More like Eric Shit...

yawn Maybe d-wave should put up or shut up. QC companies and bro-advocates have been saying this for years and there's been very little use outside of pure r&d labs.

I don't believe that QC is going to have the ease of use, time to deployment, and relative low-cost that GPUs are going to have any time soon - if ever.

What are people here using OpenClaw for personal reasons? How about for work? Why is OpenClaw the best system for it? Just trying to understand how people use it.

MS has some snowflake (not Snowflake) execs... Poor little management, they need their safe space from a mean old word.

My FB is generally like that. However I have noticed I see more more delayed posts from friends, and it's starting to recycle posts from friends I've seen already. I'll see a friend post pics of a vacation they took but I won't see that post for 3-5 days, and in the mean time I'll see some other old posts from them that were from 1-3 weeks ago come up multiple times.

Occasionally I do get blasted with AI slop and random accounts for a few days. When that happens I keep selecting to stop showing me that because I'm not interested.

I join groups for my interests. I never interact with random groups that pop up. I'm pretty diligent about scrolling past ads and I report a ton of them that are AI bs or selling lies (like "tonics" that cure cancer).

Nope, not at all.

I read your comment as ignorant to AI's capabilities and their negative outcomes with relying on vibe coding.

The implication is that MS is forcing AI adoption on users at a point of absurd recklessness, and that they should not be trusted - especially not blindly trusted.

Perhaps the reason you're seeing comments similar to my original comment more frequently is because actual software engineers whom know the capabilities of AI and how much of a bad decision it is to assume it's as good as a competent engineer. Many engineers have had years of experience working with management, whom while have legit concerns about the capabilities of software as they are ultimately responsible for it and the financials, see them turning to vibe coding and relying on it. Non technical folks think software is kinda easy to do, and because LLMs can generate code that it just proves their assumptions.

Nope, that's a very fair poke at MS. They've gone so far into AI adoption that it's become absurd.

- They have VPs posting on Linkedin about rewriting existing code using AI and adhering to arbitrary metrics of a x% rewrite and laying off y% of engineers that used to work on it.

- Renaming one of their major flagship product lines (MS Office) to (MS Copilot Apps 365).

- Forcing AI features on users despite not wanting it, and overriding OS configuration that should turn it off.

- Executives publicly shaming the general public for not wanting "all the AI all the time".

Just assume the only thing a human did was name write the initial prompt.

AInmates?

Or they're not thoroughly testing changes before pushing them out. As I've seen some others say, CloudFlare at this point should be considered critical infrastructure. Maybe not like power but dang close.

That timezone thing really threw one of my client's management for a loop. During covid they expanded some of their India and Philippians office presence and depending on what you're working on, you need to have regular communication with some of those folks. When they did full RTO they were trying to "make" some of the staff (engineering and management) come in at 5am so they could meet with the offshore staff before they went home but everyone bucked, as you'd expect. When folks were WFH they just went with it. Eventually executive staff just said "you guys figure it out". So they ended up changing the meetings from twice a week to once a month and now projects keep slipping deadlines, including one that went from approx on time to 2mo behind, and it's costing them serious revenue since they cant sell it yet.

Until recently, you never had to think about it. But as it becomes more common it will become something you might want to consider.

Yes! I was just recently traveling for work in a decent hotel but not a suite, just one with two queen beds but by myself. It had a glass barn door and the top half was frosted glass with "painted" glass on the bottom. Irritating but at least it was just me.

The "Twitter Files" absolutely did not expose anything like that, despite what Lord Genius Elon tried to imply. At best it exposed internal discussion and policies that may have suppressed posts related to Covid, but showed that the Biden administration was largely (largely doesn't mean never) uninvolved with that. It seems like the most they asked was in regards to the "Hunter Biden Laptop" issue and that was largely with posts that were showing the nudes of the women that he was sleeping with, not even posts that were just nude Hunter.

Elon then turned on Matt Taibbi and banned him from Twitter when he wouldn't go along with his lying and spin.

I've never tried cursor so maybe I'm being a crusty curmudgeon, but I don't get it... Why do I need to pay a subscription for an IDE when I could just use VS Code for free, which also has AI integration now. I'm not against using LLMs to assist me, but I've had no problems coding myself and then just asking an LLM when I'm either learning a new library, need to hack up a quick snippet for a language I don't use often, or just really stuck.

It's too bad they didn't call it something else besides uv given there's already other "uv" named tools like: uvicorn, uvloop, pyuv - and those three almost hvae more in common with each other than the uv build/project tool. Then there's also libuv.

Sorry, I guess I'm not fully understanding what this is exactly. Would you describe this as a low-code/no-code agent generator? So if you can define requirements via a pipelex "config" file, Pipelex will generate a python-based agent?

Why is it shocking they are bad at poker?

Assuming it's credit card, file a complaint with your credit card company and do a chargeback - or request a new cc number such that the old one is retired. If you have to justify it with the bank, just tell them Bitdefender has no process for canceling a subscription once started. If they press further, or get pushback from Bitdefender, tell them the customer service rep suggested trying to send a letter to see if that might work.

Yea but Satya bet a lot of the company on AI, and if it fails he's fucked as CEO. So he's going to make damn well sure he's shoved AI down everyone's throats as much as possible, even if it alienates some percentage of their customer base.

Every recent employer I've had uses a VPN to get into their internal network when you're not logged into wifi or ethernet from inside a building, so I don't see this Teams change as a big deal. Must be something for small employers without much, if any, IT infrastructure or IT dept.

Will this have any support for open source libraries like PyTorch or will it be all Intel proprietary software that you need a license for?

According to this article, their conclusion seems to be "if there's a big bang, what set that off? obviously it's god, like duh and stuff" Which is basically "if you can't prove it's not god, then it's god" Well I then say it's the invisble pink unicorn or the flying spaghetti monster that created god.

Those companies are also likely still in the red. They're banking on the hope that one day they will be profitable. I'm sure one of them will be.

The $100k fee will definitely put H1-Bs out of reach for many small-medium sized orgs, given that the attorney fees for the whole process is another $20k (rough average). However I bet a lot of larger companies (FAANG, Lord Genius Elon, etc) will reduce, but it's worth it for them over the long run - especially with the current administration is so business friendly to the big tech companies (i.e. regulations requiring equal pay will be enforced with a far softer touch if at all).

I agree, I don't think capitalism is inherently at odds with quality healthcare, and technically private equity isn't either but it certainly raises the chances. PE firms tend to be fairly parasitic with their investments - maybe that's fine for a restaurant chain but that sucks when you're dealing with lives (people or animals). I used to be in health insurance and you knew when there were nursing homes and clinics/faciltiies that were owned by PE. PE-owned nursing homes tend to have far more infractions against them, more elder abuse claims, and lower quality of life for the residents. You could say well PE buys up facilities that have room for improvement, which sometimes that's true, but in many times they seem to buy because (imo) they feel they can get by with lower regulatory enforcement so can cut costs and squeeze them. Sometimes they do buy or build higher-end senior living facilities but those are cash cows in their own way that you don't want to cut corners with.

Oh boy. Unless highly moderated or some kind of real-world social capital needed for posting, this is going to quickly become a dumpster fire of red-pill, hustle culture, anti-woke, anti-vax /r/im14andthishappened insanity. If they're unlucky it's going to become /b.

I think it is a mix between power play and real-estate. During Covid and late-Covid, management had to let people wfh/remote, and companies were either mass-hiring or mass-layoffs. Insecure management felt like they had their "power" stripped away, and now between the uncertain economy and some being embolden due to the current potus admin, they want to "put workers in their place".

One of my coworkers is a contractor for a local IT/engineering firm, and another client recently lost one of their principle engineers due to him refusing to RTO and quit. Now the VPs he reported under are bad-mouthing him, saying he was "never any good", "screwed everything up", and "not a team player" - which everyone else knows is BS. The employees are just keeping their heads down trying not to get noticed - morale is bad. Management has even noticed and reversed their recent more formal dress code for a Jeans (and a Food Truck once a month) Friday. Needless to say no one is impressed.

So an autobiography then?
