Not always, it depends on the situation. If you don't have stock in the company, if your boss doesn't respect you, if other companies in the region/industry are the same, then these factors weigh towards a union.

Again, it depends on the situation. If someone else is already forming a union, lending your support to it is lightweight.

The point people keep making about Rust is that it's memory safe. Except for the large flashing issue in the room, that it is not memory safe, objectively, it has a keyword, to disable the safety. This is black and white, if Rust is memory safe, so is C, you could avoid pointers, overflows, underflows, and all the other ways to corrupt memory, and by the logic of Rust developers, that's memory safety. I'm not suggesting anything major, just drop the idea of memory safety, or, remove any ability to interact directly with memory, in a way you could corrupt it.

I asked ChatGPT, and it's making the same argument that I'm making: “https://chatgpt.com/share/6aa807d4-b858-83ea-8fb1-b8fe5dbb6c16”, it's memory safe, with qualification, which means it's not memory safe. The qualification point is a big point, just so we're on the same page, the problem I have with the claim of memory safety, is that it convinces bad programmers they have that safety net when they don't.

I've seen this time and time again where a language has a feature, such as “memory safety”, or “type safety”, but then the developer uses “any” instead of a type, and thinks their type safe. I had a Jr Dev submit code full of $any() in the HTML of an Angular application. He then explained to me, it was safe since Typescript has type checking, therefore, $any() is a good workaround to building a proper type and interface for what he was doing.

Either learn to program and develop code safety, making yourself the first line of defence for mistakes, and they happen, and once you're sure the code is functioning at near 100%, then you can rely on the “memory safety” or “type safety”, or “X”. The idea that Rust makes things safer or more trusted is nonsense, it might be a very capable language, but the safety, and the trust is based on the developers / engineers, not the language.

When you have to write safe code, that is used for automotive, or military, you can't use pointers, function pointers, or the cool new features of most languages. The code has to be simple, basic, and clean; otherwise they don't certify it, even if you can write the code safety, and assure all paths have full cleanup and checking being done, you still can't use pointers. Maybe this has relaxed in the last 10-years, but 10-years ago that was the standard I had to write code to, for our two military clients.

Indeed, he may have better luck waiting a couple years and donating to the campaign of president Warren.

We need a book that explains how AI technology functions.

There is a huge amount of news and comments, but apparently nothing that helps people understand how AI is developed, and functions.

There are two rational responses to an abusive employer:

1) Leave.
2) Join a union.

Which one is best depends on the circumstances.

They're all motivated reasoning, you shouldn't take them too seriously.

That is, they start with the conclusion they want, then say whatever they think will confuse/convince you the most.

You can't patent an idea, you can only patent an implementation of an idea.

In America, that is fine.

That one is easy, it became a big enough issue that they thought it would give them cheap votes.

Arguing with me in your mind, widdle cawardette? There are many different levels, and don't for a New York minute think that if you stand with Trump, means you are a conservative. All you are is a widdle caward, who was a prime example of the need for your daddy to pull out before he came, and done the world a favor by spilling his splooge on the floor, where at least it could be recycled without producing a waste of oxygen.

Or are you a fifth grader, thinking that he can effectively ytroll a person who can grind him down, and feed him to Facebook as an example of the need for a license to have cildrfen.

If you are that fifth grader, make certain you give mommy and daddy their laptop back, ans make certain to delete those special pictures you enjoy so much. Don't want mommy and daddy to think you need chemically castrates, yaknow, Oh yeah, and mommy wanted to know why some on the keys on her laptop got stuck, and why your socks are all stuck together. Jezuz H Kryste , coward, at least use paper towels and toss them in your future prospects folder AKA the trash.

Haven't done a Saturday night Curb Stomping in a while - I think you so very much!

And yet, it extends beyond the stupid. My wife, who is very smart, (VP at a construction associated corporation) but very non-technical, is scared AF about AI. And me trying to explain my "insiders outlook" just doesn't sway her.

She looks at me askance sometimes when I tell her I use AI, but think the concepts at the moment are wrong...."How can you be both, honey?" And trying to explain localized AI to a person who thinks it's all about humongous Data Centers using up groundwater, destroying farmland, and requiring as much power as the rest of the country uses for themselves...... damn, I wish I could get her off of Facebook!

Otherwise, yes, there are plenty of stupid people around.

Keep in mind, I have no issues with people being against Data Centers. When the paradigm changes, and it won't be too long, those centers will be pretty useless - maybe repurposed as a fulfillment center?

ok, even 30 years ago I never heard a local (or any) news station brag about harassment.

Doctor Olsoc notes that one does not have to be conservative to be batshit crazy. Our friend needs some thorazine,

Sam Bankman Fried seems to lack understanding about a lot of things.
