He planned at losing, but being the colossal loser he is...he accidentally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He's such a loser he can't even lose right.

Do you people even listen to yourselves?

I think the idea is to keep shitting out 4.X releases until openai releases GPT-6, at which point anthropic will release whatever version of "mythos" they have mostly working that day as Opus 5.0 on the same day, or the next. They'll probably claim it's so operful they're skipping 5 and just calling it Opus 6 for marketing reasons

There was a backwards compatiblity break in Linux USB support too, but in general new Linux OS releases don't move everything around because the UI is independent from the kernel.

This. And note the headlines for what afaict is the same product. For Meta they are enabling sexual predators. For Apple they are ... making style and design choices?

Go always seemed like something of a niche language to me. Some DevOps folks, and especially people working on cloud-native infrastructure like Docker and Kubernetes, and the tools designed to run on top of them, seemed to love it. I never really heard of it catching on outside that niche, though (except within Google).

Correct. The TIOBE index is currently compiled from results from 25 search engines. You see this in the way the rankings bounce around each time they report them, seemingly with no meaningful explanation. That's why TIOBE always has been and always will be a crappy indicator of which languages are the most used ... especially now that more people are using AIs instead of standard search engines to ask their questions.

However, the index looks like statistics, which makes it attractive to journalists who cover tech. That means it's useful for getting TIOBE's name in the press. (TIOBE is a software quality measuring company),

Everything 365. Literally.

I agree. Sure, there was no shortage of YA material when I was a kid ... the Hardy Boys, John Christopher's Tripods books, the Chronicles of Narnia, and even The Hobbit come to mind. But I also liked The Lord of the Rings, Asimov, and plenty of other adult fiction besides. I didn't need Luke Skywalker to be a six-year-old to relate to him when I was six myself.

But the thing is, I bet it's just more "audiencing" by the studio execs. They want all movies to appeal to the broadest possible audience. And what do all potential audience members have in common, whether they be make, female, LGBTQ, Asian, European, Black, etc.? They were all young once.

Everyone has to stop what they're doing for an entire day, travel to the training center, which costs money, they have to rent the training center, which costs money, they have to pay the training person to present the training materials, which costs money, and they have to develop the training materials/course, which costs money.
 
And then the next day is going to be complete chaos, because the training materials were developed against v0.7 of the software, and everyone is using v1.3 of the software, and nothing will get done for, minimum, 2 days, and you won't actually be at the same level of effectiveness for 3-6 months, and in some edge cases, 18-24 months, possibly longer.
 
I was at one company, and the 80 year old lady, Wanda, who ran payroll, worked on a specialty windows 95 computer, because she could not be retrained and didn't want to learn new software. And nobody messes with the payroll lady. This was in ~2014. I just looked her up looks like she passed away finally, probably still using Windows 95 all the way until 2023 bless her.
 
Anyways TL;DR for digital soveignry $2000/user is a trivial amount especially as a one time cost

Frogbuntu.

Windows isn't easier, but it costs about $2000 per seat to train people to use an new operating system. Once you are past that expense, Linux is cheaper because it doesn't require retraining every time Microsoft obsoletes it's old UI. Google Docs does a fairly good job of handling Microsoft Office file formats now, so document backwards compatibility is no longer an issue.

If you bought it from CarMax, you paid too much.

The people that aren't ethical enough to be used car salesmen become tech recruiters.

They keep asking people "Don't you want to use Edge instead of Chrome?" too.
