But then, when do you actually have to be at work? At 8 UTC? Which is somewhere after dark where you live?

Shame on Euro  supermarkets for centralizing temperature settings. It's well known that no networked computing is secure. For $100  HW each store could set/monitor/manage freezer/chiller temps and water-spray times. But, no ... they saved a nickle ... only to lose a $20 bill . That's a stupid as having software that runs your business operate from a central ... oh wait ...

"The models knows what goes into a scheduler." The AI models know nothing ... they learn nothing ... they produce no novelty. Not even as much as a drunkin ant stumbling across an alcohol-soaked paper sheet. Multiplexing  by a mechanical Turk does not  create novelty.

"There is no 'only' defense. Indeed, programming skill and attention to detail will, by itself, fail."

Am I wrong, or is "networking" at the heart of 99.9% of computer security issues ? That "only" defense is certainly promoted by "air-gaping" and local-admin  of all computer function:  one factory one computer ... two factories two computers etcetc. More people and more expense; major AI &  SaaS companies screwed? Of-course ... so what ...

"To claim you have already lost when using those measures is to claim that only code with years of tireless review like NASA's near flawless software is good enough."

I bet the answer to this question is:  < yes >. Reminds me of Tornado-ravaged Oklahoma neighborhoods with "stick built" houses:  wooden sticks ravaged every year , savvy ! Every new Oklahoma home  SHOULD  be 'Buckminster' concrete ... every (re)new software package should be NASA-quality.

Most of the architectural improvement experiments Anthropic runs are still coming from humans, even when LLM implements them.

An AI assisted coding interview is still a coding interview.

Not quite a manual, but I bought a Packt book that's supposed to help me learn Azure. Specifically, it claimed to have a number of sample projects to help me better understand Azure and use it more effectively.

In its chapter regarding configuring a site-to-site VPN, it glosses over the part where one is supposed to configure the local side, and its sole metric of success is whether either side has a connectivity indicator. In its chapter regarding storage options and tiers, there's no project at all. In its hybrid EntraID section, it says to just download Entra Connect to my domain controller - y'know, the one I just have lying around.

Claude was able to hold my hand through creating different resources, and took its time explaining the concept of a "resource group" multiple times until I understood the concept. Stack Overflow doesn't have that sort of instant gratification, but it does have enough of a group of people who can usually answer a question well-enough.

Written documentation has its place, but it requires a VERY good writer to express an idea in a way that will make sense to readers who, almost by definition, don't understand what the author is trying to convey. It's a skill that isn't at all easy to do, so quality of manuals vary greatly.

It's not correct for Germany, but it is for Austria. Austria was driving on the left side of the road until the Anschluss, but switched over to right side drive to harmonize with Germany.

I wounder if AmoredDragon can come up with a similar slur to Douchelanders for Austria.

Foreign students need a student's visa, or to be more specific, an F-1 visa for colleges and university. And before they get that, they have to bring equivalent documentation to the U.S. embassy in their home country or country of residence.

AMD = twenty-five % better multi-core performance  at half the price. Hope those "cuff-links" look reel sharpe.

AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
Rank 100 %
Apple M5
Rank 74 %

".... so you can't build those datacenters on earth for some reason,"

Earth based data-centers interfere with grouse barons and brook trout streams, both of which are much more important for human well-being than data-mangling heat generators. 

Lots of buzzwords, but do any of those "tasks" need to be performed. I somehow manage my own home Debian systems W/O using any of those buzzword-tasks. I do avoid make-work automation,  as such increases the "fault surface". Even granting "needs", are any needed tasks performed better using the JapeChat mechanism ?

"... workers are routinely slammed for showing up late and refusing to put in overtime for free. Cisco's president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel isn't buying it "

Free overtime? Some slaver from a nation of sheep diktates American worker behavior ... how Wall Street is that. Could Unabomber have got it right the 1st time ? Just asking ... for a friend ...

APPLE does not sell luxury products... like Sable capes, Vicuna overcoats or  Italian  Chamis heels. Apple charges luxury prices for Mil-Spec computer hardware ... same grade hardware everyone else sells.

So ... counterfeit money was thieved. The counterfeiter has thus been "punished" for his grift . Now for the thieves ....
