Really? So if a dev goes out with a team lead the TL should be fired?.

You've obviously never held a real job.

Every company that I've ever worked for over the decades made this kind of policy 100% clear to new hires, and some of them repeated it at least annually (along with other boring annual training on things like not sending sensitive tech to places like China).

Never mind their projections for the coming year say they can't keep up with demand.

The big question is not whether they've got bunch of real and potential orders right now. It's whether they're actually going to get paid for all those orders when all is said and done. (And a circular chain of IOUs doesn't count.)

Campuses are nice. They have tree-lined quadrangles, old ivy covered buildings, cozy pubs and stately houses. They're especially appealing in the current fall season, and they bring back fond memories.

This change will make data centers much more welcome in our communities. I have one other suggestion for the AI companies: They should put together a football team for each site. That would really bring about a festive atmosphere.

This reminds me of a segment I saw about 15 or 20 years ago on a show called "How It's Made" that played on a channel like the Discovery Channel (before all cable became reality TV).

The segment was "How CRTs are Made". I was kind of surprised that CRTs were still being made, but I was especially surprised by the fact that they appeared to be American workers in the factory. They were doing everything pretty much by hand with no automation, and they were making some rather skinny looking CRTs. The show never elaborated on what the CRTs were for, but they sure didn't look like TVs.

I dug into it a bit after that using some clues I noticed in the show, and found out that these were cockpit displays for F15s or similar military aircraft. It's probably an item that you just don't go changing the specs on, and they understandably aren't going to farm out to TCL. I can't imagine how much each one cost, though. And I certainly wouldn't try to rack it up as a "win" for any of GWB's or Obama's trade policies.

My opinion is that AI will kill Linux eventually. Not now, not when Linus uses it, because Linus knows how to code and is careful. But eventually the crappy vibe-coded junk will seep into the kernel. And then you'll get Microsoft-style code quality issues.
