What an inane comment. If you're not getting something from AI, you are either using it wrong or not using it.
Software engineers are creating huge amounts of working code in a fraction of the time. I have a company full of software engineers, this is real.

"Point us to an post about a guy given a job he is clearly unqualified"

That's literally my point -- the post isn't about the person in charge of the ministry! It's about them testing Collabora and the users just having too many issues with it. I guarantee if it was the same exact story and the minister had a male name none of you would have done this deep dive and criticism.

And why do you think she is unqualified? The Minister of Digitization doesn't need to be an expert on digitization, they need to be competent at high-level management and understanding how laws and policies work. Did she do something wrong? Would someone else have somehow convinced the 37 or however many employees who tested it not to hate it?

Yeah but for some reason Slashdot commenters jump to targeting people mentioned in the stories when they have a female first name.

I'm still waiting for my bnb...

Audiophilles will be convinced they can hear a difference. They can't, but they will be convinced of it.

I too was very skeptical given the few customer service chatbots I've used. But then I needed help from Verizon with the new iPhone I bought.
I was resigned to spending time on hold or in a loop, but the AI they use was pretty well implemented. It tried to help, then when it got stuck it called in it's boss (another AI that makes more money) and this AI sussed out that I needed an agent and presto, an agent was there.
I think as long as these systems are robust and useful, I'm good with them.
The bad ones say they're AI but they're basically a keyword list with lots of canned phrases telling to you reinstall stuff.

"And the UK handed you the brand new computer industry on a plate by destroying all the computers it had built during the war while not requiring that you do the same with the licensed copies you had built."

The UK decided to destroy its computers on its own, don't blame us for your idiocy. "Require"? What were you going to "require" we do? And how were you going to enforce this "requirement"?

And what licensed copies are you talking about? Britain shared the Bombe (which was basically an upgraded version of the one the Polish built, but of course Brits insist they're the geniuses who broke Enigma), but ENIAC was a US production.

Business school is a 2-year cocktail party.

I used to use Windows for a few things I couldn't do in Ubuntu, which I greatly prefer.
One day I just asked Claude to help me create a solution to those few Windows programs I used.
It took Claude a couple of hours and now I never need to boot into Windows again. In fact, its a pain since Windows requires 3 reboots every time there's an update and if you use it once a month, you spend a lot of time waiting for the grub and redirecting it.
Freedom from Windows (or Mac for that matter), with all the crap they install, some for marketing, some for clueless users who think adding an emoji is real computer work, is really great!
I'm giving this another couple of months and if I haven't booted into Windows once, I will repurpose the 2T drive it sits on.
I realize this may not work for you if your employer wants everyone on Windows.

Given how most of the rioters are masked, and many of them are clearly white, I don't think iTs AlL iMMigAnNTSS is proven.

In any event, the French riot constantly, and have for decades, well before you saw large increases in immigration.

"She" is also lying about being a French woman. It's just some right-wing propaganda bot farm content.

> Tesla's website says there will be three trims: Performance, Thrust, and Rocket. The Performance requires a $50,000 deposit. The Thrust, the one needed to hit the supposed sub-1-second 0-60 time, costs $250,000. The Rocket â" the one that can fly â" is a single-seat version of the car and is "Invite Only".

The Roadster is a "Halo Car" for the Tesla Brand and the Rocket Trim level is a Halo Trim of the Halo Car.

The purpose of the Rocket and the lower two trims of the Roadster are meant cast the entire brand as aspirational - that's what a Halo Car does, and nearly all the Automakers have brought out a Halo Car at various times, models like the Dodge Viper, The Ford GT, the Lexus LFA, the Ferrari F40 and so on. Expensive, Rare, often with major downsides, but they make people dream of owning one, and wind up on posters on bedroom walls.

There are all sorts of issues, regulatory and otherwise, with the Rocket Trim that get in the way of letting them out on regular roads (or even near them), and I am not sure that version ever will be. But it's not the first - right now brands like Ferrari and McClaren have special models which are not street legal, and considered "for track use only". And that's ok, because there are a number of people who are fine with that and do manage to get those cars out on the track.

I suspect there will be similar restrictions and limited areas where the Rocket version can be "driven" err.. "Flown", but there are going to be people who can not only afford it but want the unique thrill and novel experience it will provide. The Thrust Trim will likely be restricted to track use due to the rocket boost, leaving the Performance version the one you might actually encounter on the highway or more likely see parked in front some expensive restaurant. And when people see it, some will point and say "look, there's the car that can fly!"

Hopefully we will start getting lots of audio clips complete with a transcript of elected officials engaging in dubious behavior.

Why not just use the phone to record. It's just an app away.

I really wanted to like the game but even a few hours of gameplay showed that it was repetitive and kind of bleak and depressing.
