I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.

you know, living is harmful to your life, every day is getting you closer to death. Eating many foods is harmful, drinking many things, breathing the air in many parts of the world and during different weather conditions. Having sex may be harmful, it can degrade your quality of life in the long term.

There are millions of harmful things, you will die and everyone else as well. I am not proposing for everyone to do everything, I am saying - if you enjoy it, don't allow people to dictate to you, do it.

you do understand we live only once, what's wrong with porn, gambling and drugs? Enjoy it if you want it.

is that a serious comment?

ever heard of team drivers? they exist to avoid sitting idle for half a day due to regulations.

We build many professional Android and iOS apps for the trucking, logistics, shipping and related industries. It is a complete disaster, what Android app store has become over the 11 years we have been dealing with them. Things are only getting worse, more complicated, longer, more expensive. I don't know what they have achieved with this but they haven't made it safer.

As a person who worked mightily hard for over a year on a cross functional team with top management attention to bring a product into official FedRAMP compliance... for all the blood sweat weekends late nights documenting automating improving processes and tooling... FUCK YOU Microsoft for cheating your way in and endangering your country and your customers in the process. FUCK. YOU.

obviously. It was clear as day to me decade and a half ago.

The West is really really really shortsighted. Like seriously shortsighted, arrogant, incapable of learning or making any smart strategic choices. This is in regards to everything, wars, weapons, power generation, allowing Islam to penetrate its borders, now even cheering FOR Islam and against Israel, not taking out putin and all of his little helpers all around the world judiciously, printing money like it's out of style, getting rid of manufacturing and declaring that now its economy is something else, but not manufacturing and production. In fact declaring that its economy is 'consumption based'. Getting off the gold standard. There are many stupid things the 'collective West' engaged in, will it be able to correct course? I don't see it, not yet.

"Supply Chain Risk" means "if you do business with the US government, you cannot do business with Anthropic." In other words, Anthropic is being blackballed because they won't let the Department of War do what they want. It has little to do with entitlement, and everything to do with fighting back against a bully's power play.

Should companies bw forced by whatever, unions, or anything else, to maintain employment numbers that does not make sense to them? why? compare to this: once you had your haircut and paid for it, should you be forced to pay the barber every day until you need your next haircut?

The Black Blade was forged a million billion years ago. Its cosmic story goes on for eternity. It master is its slave. Hahahahahaaaaaa

LibreWolf is FF with the enshittification removed

under 2% less light is all it will take to reduce temperature, absolutely irrelevant for agriculture but may be 100% necessary for the survival of the marine life and of all life on this planet. If marine life gets kicked in the nuts, so to speak, so will we as civilization.

Yup. 'Orchestration' is the fancy word. But it's just "scripting with LLMs and fancy Python packages"

I see a similar trend inside the Big Software company I work at. We're automating fixing the bug backlog, automating test fixes, automating platform posting, ... I don't think anybody knows how this all shakes out but we know it's the future. Strong 1990's Internet vibe.

When I see posts about how crappy AI is, it's not usually from people who are actually using it to get real work done.
