Hello, software dev. from the US, but I'm originally from E. Europe and went through Soviet Union collapse, societal disintegration,rampant crime, poverty and seen lot of very high caliber people (PhD scientists/engineers) who unfortunately were thrown into fringe of the society or life completely side-stepped them. What you can do ? You are 19. Get physically strong (exercise), have a skill(s) to do manual job (like welding) so in case things go bad, you can fall back on it. In the meantime, work on your programming, math skills & imagination. Good luck !

you know how much money you have to pour into semi R&D to keep up and how much hardware Apple has to produce & sell to justify that cost ?

Is this is the report that DoJ didn't want to make public ?

Sorry for the long delay. Handyman business is something I would be interested in.

Ah, the app to connect to your Sonos speakers, but wants all the permissions from your phone, incl. your geo-location, otherwise it will not work.

I would be interested to hear about your experience transitioning to this line of work, since I want to do the same. I'm in my early 40s, software engineer.

Author is beating the drum, but what about mission critical software running on x86 ? replacing it will take decades.

damn

Thank you for posting this. This is exciting, hopefully this will help to someone who is close to me suffering from this condition !

Lol, yeah. They will not do that.

Construction sites deaths are gruesome by nature. I feel terrible for those people. Thanks god, we have OSHA (& hopefully, it will not be dismantled as it has been touted)

With Boeing - A fish rots from the head down. Entire upper management needs to go, now and can't work for Boeing or it's subsidiaries or contractors. Nowhere near Boeing.

thank you for posting this link, very interesting reading. If you have more of the similar materials, I would be very interested. Thank you !

this is so pathetically sad. at this point, Intel is basically falling apart as a company, it already sold solid state disk business, server business sold, business making lidars & cameras is gone, already sold stakes in some of the fabs and probably looking to completely sell it's fab business, stake in ARM is sold, now FPGA is being sold, cellphone business is gone as well.

Can someone explain to me what is the Palantir's business model ? I haven't heard any large, meaningful project they been involved in, but I keep hearing the company name & how hot they are and their stocks are going to blow-up any day (some of my friends kept their stocks for the last 4-5 years with very little gain compared to other software companies). I know of the smaller software companies that are less than 100 people and have a very meaningful impact in DoD & Gov space.

I live in the US and I have a lot of active duty & ex military members in my close circle of friends. One of the consistent trends I have noticed is the significant uptick in the number of LARPing/cosplaying military videos on Youtube, i.e. tackticool dudes. I was looking the other day at buying the sport shotgun for shooting clay, went out and did some search on youtube to find out more about the rifle.... the search result brought out pages of (unrelated videos, that youtube thinks you might be interested) videos of dudes in full combat uniforms(+ med kits) shooting weapons at ranges. Why they wearing all this gear ? My friends who spent years in active war zones wear jeans and T-shirts to the shooting ranges.

To me, those Youtube videos are symptoms that some weird shit brewing in our society and this news is just flares of this symptom.

those books from 1800s are guilty AF

But now I get to control way more myself.

You are not, the LLM makes bulk of work for you and will choose a lot of things for you for the movie you are making.

I'm empowered to see the entire vision though.

I think you fail to grasp one important thing about art in general - it is non-verbal by it's nature. You can't go and explain in LLM input some famous painting, it not how it works.

Oh mirrors do wear out...

lol and Yelp is extortion racket that will give your business shitty review if you don't pony up a pretty penny to them.

I live in Baltimore, home of Philip Glass (as far as I know, he still lives in Baltimore) and a lot of my friends went to a famous Peabody conservatory. Even after graduation, a lot of them either entirely left music or struggling musicians, who have blue collar jobs. I remember going to one the local bars and saw a girl working as bartender(she quite attractive), years before that, I saw her playing cello in one of the concerts.

I found the fact that Tom Cruise drove off with the flag at Olympics and the fact that Tom Cruise is a prominent member of Scientology and a fact that Scientology headquarters are in LA and the fact that next Olympic games are going to be LA, kinda interesting

Friend of mine works for the "daycare" for elderly. Medicare fraud is rampant. People finding all kinds of ways trick the system for easy money. Recently her employer got a visit from law enforcement for fraud investigation and few other places around run into similar issues.

If there is a contract between DigiCert & Alegeus Technologies, stating that DigiCert could potentially revoke contracts within 24h and Alegeus client contracts state that clients have more than 24h to deal with expired certs, then I feel like it's Alegeus problem, who over-promised to their clients and should have carefully read their contracts.

Where have you seen that Trump wants to do that? The current Republican Party is more pro-labor than it’s been in a while.

You mean the legalized child labor in the rust belt ? I keep hearing kids dying in meat packing plants ...

yes !!! My only concern is that trump administration will try to reverse the decision.

I was going to say, Dave did a great job covering the issue, despite the fact that he hasn't worked on Windows kernel for a lot time (10y+, if not for 20y+). But in general, there is a lot of "parroting" going on from people who know very little or specialists in this field.

former Governor Phil Bryant signed docs to allocate those funds. Plain and simple. He claims ignorance. It wasn't a pocket change, he should have been aware of what he was signing and where those funds came from. It is plain corruption and he is trying to get back at the journalists for exposing his corruption.

I saw the interview with the former official who filed the lawsuit. He claims that he is not doing this in spite, but only because his name been dragged into it. He signed the funding !!!

is it illegal to carry any type of blade in public ?

My impression from what I have seen through the years in the news (I live in the US), this is the case. I remember seeing London police would setup check points in the metro and check passengers for knifes. To my surprise, most common weapons they would find - kitchen knives.
