Comment Re:No, It Won't. (Score 2) 64

No company is ever going to release a commercial quantum computer of any kind.

Anyone who wants to disagree with me can do so by betting against me in Kalshi. I will gladly take your money. If you are unwilling to put your money where oyur mouth is, I'm just going to ignore you.

How does one resolve the bolded-text as a bet though? I'll happily make a few dollars on your side of the coin for the 2029 prediction, but you can't realistically make the second statement then tell people who disagree to "just go bet against me on Kalshi".

maybe the next war can be entirely robotic and we can leave soldiers out of it.

Or we could like... y'know... stop killing each other over what a few tyrant leaders want. There will never be a war without soldiers because that would be the last line of defense in this rose-y scenario. Might as well just be Battle Bots where the war is decided in a cage match.

So, I don't mind documentation, but will say that management is often loathe to allocate enough time for it to be done/maintained well.

This part. I feel like it's ALWAYS this part. No time for documentation/keeping it up-to-date, no time for desperately needed custom tooling even with huge user buy-in, no time for anything you can't immediately sell to someone for a quick buck.

... have stopped caring.

This... I feel like this is just the pervasive world we live in recently. I want to literally turn off the internet, AI, everything, and just go read my "Best Practices in C" book alone in the woods and just forget about how messed up software has gotten in the 15 years I've personally been around the industry and can't imagine how those who've been around decades longer even feel about all this crazy business at this point.

It's an argument for those of us who are happy with simplicity/manual operation for less cost.

Ford didn't offer the base package with the big battery, which is how we knew right up front that they didn't give a shit about working people. THAT would be the ideal tradesman's truck, because it can power pretty much anything.

100%. This was the perfect job-site truck, given the F150's reputation in general as a kick-starter, in my opinion and they completely dropped the ball.

I would LOVE me an F150 Lightning, but let me crank down my windows manually. When your electric offerings cost as much as your luxury trims, you're telling all of your customers that you only care about rich people. I can think of 101 ways I'd leverage that Lightning, but because you're selling it to me at the price of a Limited trim, I'm not stepping anywhere near that truck.
