Comment Re:Same with EE and ME degrees (Score 1) 26

The field is becoming saturated. I'm reading a one percent application to hire rate lately for EEs and MEs. That is, 1 job offer to 100 applications.

I suspect that may have something to do with what you want to do as an EE or ME. Power engineering isn't sexy like some areas but is hiring and few people want to work for the power company.

Comment I used them (Score 1) 179

I had one that plugged into a SCSI port IIRC, and later an internal one as well. I used them to backup my HD and store old project files, the 150 and 250. Worked great until the dreaded click of death. Still have the drives and disks, haven't tried to get it working and see what is on them. In theory the internal one should work with the right interface but I doubt there are drivers for my Mac, maybe a VM and Linux or Windows would work. Not a high priority as it's likely just random junk now.

The entire premise is simply “not China”?

I was told manufacturing jobs would come flooding back to this country.

But you weren't told when. This sounds like a way to get cheaper labor and less environmental rules; and I doubt they can ever scale anywhere Cole to China in terms of output or price. China could simply drop prices to make this an unattractive investment, leaving it just another promise to appease Trump without having to actually do anything substantive.

The worst is that most of "the haters" -aka- grandpas, either indeed never tried it, or are simply not competent enough to write a prompt to an AI.

That means their conclusions are based on wrong premises.

Some may be, but anecdotally, the ones I know don't hate AI and even use it. It's not going to replace them, by the time it is good enough to do so they'll be retired. They've got theirs, and if AI can make their job easier as they ride off Ito the sunset, then so be it.

If you are a senior pony express rider and the automobile just started rolling out how do you train the next generation of riders? They'll be around for a while longer and they may start using AI development natively as part of how people programme in the future...eg they will become the car drivers and truckers that replaced all them horses but sure there will be disruption and teething issues. Still someone has to know how to fix the AI when it breaks...

I get your point, but I think there is a difference between the tool (pony express) and the system that uses it (delivery). You can change the tool but if people don’t know how the system works, you will have problems.

Did that happen when Trump 1.0 ended? I don't recall that the Biden administration followed the same playbook that Trump did.

Not claiming Biden did it, just that once the precedent is established and power yielded to the executive or government, it becomes one more tool both sides can wield. You saw some of that when Trump made a guns comment and all of a sudden the Bill of Rights became important again.

Why are we landing the capsule in water at all? Everything is in motion, and failures quickly cause the capsule to fill with water.

You'd need to find a suitable uninhabited, federally owned, landing spot with no obstructions, something not easy to do in the US. The Russians have the space to do it, we really don't, even out west.

A consequence of the regime getting that power in this case through the courts would be that it is much easier for them to do the same in future cases.;
