Pretty sure this was hand crafted algorithm if it happened in 2011.

It's more of a lesson in the difficulty of communicating business logic when creating a project (which will obviously impact AI, but can cause problems for people too).

Generally laid off high end talent gets 3x hourly on rehire (based on my friend's parents).

I'm shocked that Ford had a standard of quality that let them notice.

I read an article recently where Ford was bragging about testing one engine a day off an assembly line for quality control. Ford felt that was an amazing dedication to quality.

I imagine there will be birthday randomizers in pretty much every repo.

I've literally never seen praise for Poettering on the blogs. Only critisosm of him and all of his projects.

The fact that the projects are picked up and used by distros leads me to believe that perhaps the blogs are mistaken and there's something we're all missing.

They're going to make 30% of the population immortal and you think the number is made up?

I'd like to see corporations able to be tried as people. 5 year jail sentence = 5 year government ownership.

Tie it to GDP and use it to make sure no companies get too big to fail so we don't need to socialize the risk. It'll also assure that there's competition.

I think we're both somewhat sarcastic, but there is a certain beauty to using it as a way to foster competition and reduce the need for bail outs.

I'm not into socialism, but I'm not convinced it's worse than 1 company having control of what's today's entire GDP in the relatively short term. And that's what SpaceX is claiming they'll have in the case for their valuation.

I'm pretty sure a data center cutoff is bad on an under voltage too.

1) grid under supplies and voltage drops
2a) grid requests more power from flexible (gas) plants
2b) HUGE customers completely cut their draw
3) more power with less demand causes huge over voltage

Is Twitter operating just as well?

The gutted moderation lead to a lot less advertisers bidding on views.

The unreliability of the service during the transition to being so far reduced dramatically reduced the number of daily users.

The company isn't public, so we don't know if it's making more/losing less money than it was. But we can be pretty certain that the operations are not the same (reduced users less money per user).

They probably didn't want to do a large build if it's 30% price increase on a years old device.

You need to dock it to do work.

But a sub $50 dongle on a desk with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard you're good to go.

In that sense it's sort of less portable than a laptop (need the work desk reserved for it), but in other ways it's more portable (smaller and lighter). The same device can dock at a TV and be a console, or dock at a desk and be an office PC. It's pretty convenient if you have multiple use spaces that are fixed. It's very inconvenient to take to the cafe and work.

and yet the only photo is clearly not a steam deck.

Seems as likely planted misinformation as real.

I doubt the price will come back down.

It'll stay this price until the deck 2 comes out, and the deck 2 will release at this price (Valve has basically said they were shocked to learn that people wanted to spend more on more powerful devices than the steam deck, but people did).
