Physicist here. They are talking about nitrogen vacancies in diamond. Itâ(TM)s cool, but I donâ(TM)t know about calling it quantum magnetometry. Itâ(TM)s a stretch, a bunch of layperson mumbo-jumbo.

We have codex 5.4 performing all IC2-3 tasks now with a higher success rate.

Laughing is about to stop.

Have a plan.

Fuck you and that Ribbon.

I'm sorry. This is a topic that makes me nerd-rage.

LK

How in the fuck does using 15% of the screen for a ribbon provide a compact interface when the menu bar is the competition?

LK

I'm so happy to hear of how many people are expressing this same sentiment.

I absolutely abhor the Ribbon interface. I don't care what their market research shows. I don't care what their shills and evangelists say. I do not like it. It's not intuitive at all.

LK

I have hated the Ribbon interface since it became the default. I use LibreOffice specifically to avoid having to use it.

Yes, just have them become PhD level physicists or electrics engineers by their senior year of HS and they will become competent computer users!

You may be the person who best gets it on this thread. 100% agree! I long ago resigned myself to having to work for people who a) aren't as "smart" as I am, in the technical sense, and b) don't get the value of what I do. That's probably 50% of all workers, if you think about it, regardless a huge percentage are under threat by AI because of perceived value not actual value.

That's why Amazon wanted to acquire Ring.

I have a ring camera and I'm hesitant to install it for this reason.

⦠AI can match my PhD in physics and 3+ decades of being at the vanguard of problem solving and troubleshooting. Probably will be dead by the time the phone rings.

Go read some history, you'll find these same articles.

I just completely automated most of our IC2 and IC3 network engineering processes with GPT agents.

Not redid; the AI executes the same workflows and tools better, cheaper, and faster. Compressing months of work to two weeks.

It's real.

Well, to point out what seems to be the obvious, both are cameras, but one protects privacy more than the other, which seems to willfully give up to whatever authorities with little concern for the end-user. I use the former.

I am not an IT guy, so I am not sure what your point is: I don't have specialized knowledge others do not (I don't think I do) nor am I some sort of crazed hyperintelligent nerd who thereby can set up a UniFi Doorbell (mine didn't require PoE, I did have to swap out to a more powerful transformer, but I don't think that requires any more know how than installing a Ring Doorbell).

Ring advertises. UniFi doesn't Brand awareness probably plays a role here.

A personal detail that is irrelevant is that I have cook a mean steak, speak fluent Spanish, or am capable of building an MRI machine from the ground up. The fact that Ring cameras have a functionality that others replicate without the privacy invasions is super on topic. Not sure how that's vapid, but OK.

Lost or eliminated? B/c the key assumption is that those jobs went somewhere. They largely went nowhere. Where are the stats that 20k people left the US for science jobs anywhere? Just a bunch of anecdotes, ironically.

The sentiment that the globe goes with the US is *anything* but comforting to me. It is however a hard reality, and thinking that the rest of the world can somehow be insulated from the very real impacts of the world's largest and best funded and most accomplished R&D system being systematically dismantled because lolz own the libs is a best grossly underestimating how tied global research is, how much innovation has been driven by the US through people power or sheer dollars (you are welcome for all the pharmaceuticals, world), and how everyone cannot be isolated from the world's largest economy, whose primary engine is the aforementioned R&D system.

Global reduction. Bank it.

I use Ubiquiti cameras. Stores to my NAS. What I do with it is my choice from there. Never has to leave the premises if I choose, or I can back it up to a cloud solution of my choice, encrypted locally, remotely, or both.
