As others have stated, companies aren't faithful to their workers, so everyone, especially the peons are just numbers on their balance sheets.
However, large companies have a hard time getting rid of people that actually ARE underperforming and dragging down their peers and deserve to be fired, so "layoffs" are a way to do it since "firing" someone is much, much more difficult even in "at will employment" states.
If user == Elon Musk, set priority = max
It's a jest, but it's probably more right than wrong.
Now if they'd had blown 11 million of the film's budget on illicit drugs and exotic cars, then it would be "normal" for Hollywood.
Definitely one headline I was not expecting on my 2025 Political Bingo card.
It's definitely much less efficient to have to "hunt and peck", so eventually most everyone teaches oneself to "touch type" if they type a lot. However, it's not necessarily "home key position" four finger on each hand typing. I knew a guy who could type with two fingers faster than 80wpm. He just taught himself to touch type with two fingers. I've also seen kids touch type with four fingers (two on each hand).
Why? Because AI code generation isn't perfect and someone needs to fix the generated code.
IMHO, AI generated code can take a lot of the tediousness out of coding, but will never be perfect, so will still need some humans to verify and fix the output.
Plus Software Engineers/Architects are still needed to plan out how and stitch together the small bits of code so they work together well and can be maintained and expanded upon easily.
When you find out how much it costs to prosecute a criminal case you'll harping about how much money is being wasted.
Milking people out of their money on a technically unfeasible project. It's money that could have gone to help solve transportation issues with solutions that can actually be implemented.
Definitely the first red flag was that it was something that Elon Musk wouldn't even devote any time or money in by "giving it away" for others to implement.
Huawei didn't build "secret" fabs to avoid sanctions. Huawei masked their ownership/involvement in these fabs to avoid sanctions.
being able to write code in some form of language is increasingly mandatory for work.
Most jobs don't and never will. For example, the service industry is a major employer and will never require "programming" skills. I can't see someone's who job entails ending customer interactions with: "Would you like fries with that?" ever needing such skills.
However, in the technical and scientific jobs that's true.
I think the point is to get some "non-sponsored by a huge company to further their own goals" information out to non technical people. Although people use and new generations have grown up with technology, the actual underpinning structure and the potential misuse of information gathered through that technology is not well known.
I'm a huge proponent of revealing "how the sausage is made" at a high level for everything we use today, not just where our highly processed food comes from, but politics, economics and of course technology.
The greatest threat to humanity's future is humanity. We should regulate them before they cause permanent damage to our society.
AI will save us!
I've seen laptop computers for sale on ebay that have processors that aren't "officially" supported by Windows 11 being sold with Windows 11 preinstalled. So this would be a good thing so a non-tech savvy purchaser would know that the computer has an "unsupported" version of the OS installed on their computer.
I agree that for the people that went to the trouble themselves of circumventing the checks, it's just annoying. But as long as it's a notice just pasted on the desktop, I'm fine with that.
This sounds to me like a company finding a flimsy excuse to steal somebody's work. I have no doubt there are ways MSI could set aside what they owe Nicolaychuk, and compensate him when the political situation improves. They won't, though, any more than the music corporations that have been ripping off artists for royalties for decades will suddenly grow a conscience.
If you read the forum posts. The author of MSI Afterburner writes after someone said that they'd complain to MSI Europe:
But it is not their fault at all. They'd love to keep the project alive, but they cannot and will not cancel or bypass sanctions and make SWIFT magically work here.
The only way that Alexey could be paid by MSI is for Russia to end the war in Ukraine in a way that will remove the international sanctions that prevent MSI from sending funds to Alexey legally. Don't jump to conclusions if you're not willing to even read the linked source.
Yep, they don't sell your information to OUTSIDE ad companies, but that doesn't mean that they don't mine the crap out of all the information that they gather from their customers to power their OWN ad sales.
All the simple programs have been written.
