I don't live near a big city and that's the point I'm trying to make. Yes I know the Internet exists. That isn't radio.

What stations? All of the stations I can pick up in my area are top 40 country, rock, and pop, + npr.

On actual radio waves?

You're missing the point. Radio was consolidated into Clear Channel and took away what made radio radio. Local radio. Like what made Chicago jazz different from New York jazz etc. Not internet stations that may as well be podcasts. Regional culture.

No one uses it outside of tech or office jobs. There's no use case.

If you leave large metro areas you'll find people are absolutely rabidly against AI. Go to a little blue collar town and ask about it where there are no hip coffee shops for wfh techies.

Nah, I wrote physics programs on my computer at home in high school and it absolutely helped with my schooling. Yeah, maybe iPad apps aren't the best things in schools but you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Computers bad is simply not true.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. "Liking" or blindly accepting everyone regardless of what believe or do just because you have known them for some period of time is silly.

Homogeny is not good for society.

Worrying about what other people think is the biggest waste of energy. I'm glad a lot of people wouldn't be friends with me because of some of my ideals. I don't want to be liked by everyone. Why would you?

When you're going 35 mph and suddenly hit a 2 ft deep puddle (I've done this), that sensor isn't going to help at all.

You can't automate it as it will require you to make big changes to your infra. It can take a year or more to actually do when you have a full team dedicated to it. Absolute outside the realm of a self service process.

I didn't stay long enough to find out, but yeah, they probably would have. The pressure was definitely to default to deny it. That's what the run books (very few) were defaulted to. It was really just a bunch of expendable people to deny claims. The turnover was wild for obvious reasons.

I'm talking about off-boarding not general day to day security.

In the early 2000s I got a job right out of highschool working at a Blue Cross Blue Shields call center. I thought it was going to be customer service but it was insurance claims. Training was supposed to be 6 weeks but they pushed me live after just 2. I had no idea what I was doing. After floundering for a couple weeks trying to learn to basically be a fuckin doctor, I just started approving everything. "Patient needs emergency surgery for X" "Approved". The whole experience was completely insane.

Yeah I don't see why that's necessary. I'm sure you can always reach out to HR and ask (I have facilitated this in the past, pulling contact lists and phone numbers) but that also gives them ways to exfiltrate data. It's company data. Just think of all the info you have in your inbox. Unless you've managed offboarding for high level IT positions it seems harsh, but the risk is just too high to allow the user to do that stuff themselves.

When you are talking about access like they had "make firings as abrupt as possible including terminating all access immediately" not doing this is incompetence. This is absolutely a standard and has to be for these kinds of positions. I've never worked anywhere where it wasn't for the majority of IT staff. You meet with HR, someone clears your desk, and security walks you out.

No one said you can't do it. There's just no reason to do it. Tube amps are basically a standard and it's what the amp repair guys know how to work on and it's easiest to work on.

Eh. As far as instrument amps go, it's not about perfect fidelity. It's about color and distortion. You'd never say "perfectly white lights are the best for your living room." No one actually wants a perfect white light, people want some more yellow in there because it looks better. The goal isn't equal spectrum coverage or whatever. People like the non-linearity of tubes and that's ok.

The I stands for impaired. There a zillion other things that can impair your driving.

3GW per what? Hour? Year? Minute?

Yep. 10000 gallons per query, spews out toxic water, contaminates the water supply, uses more power than an entire state, and on and on. I'm convinced it's a psyop to prevent the US's progress in tech. It's so over the top crazy and obviously false, but everyone I know is falling for it.

A motionless dead person is a far cry from a soldier getting his head sawed off by a jagged bayonet and screaming through a gash in his neck while he chokes on his own blood.

This list is funny.

All of these things existed in pre computer form.

A scheduler used to be a person putting punch cards into a machine.

And without software, what then, make a bunch of books and mail it to all these people? On this site of all sites, it's blowing my mind that this kind of thing isn't obvious to everyone. I guess maybe it isn't if you were born before the internet, but man, I'm really surprised by some of these comments.

I think it is. Before computers you would have had to write all that down on paper logs. By using code, you saved yourself time. If it wasn't less labor, you wouldn't have done it that way.

"ok guys, that's enough progress since now it's my job at stake, we can stop."

Whether or not you want to admit that is up to you. If you're selling automation or efficiency gains, you're removing human labor.

Software companies have been about automating human labor since the invention of computers. It's the whole damn point. Why do you think finance used to be (sometimes still is) the head of the IT dept? Because we automated accounting away. Then typists. Then secretaries. Then drafting. Etc etc.
