Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.
Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.
They are training their replacement.
Just a wild ass guess though, but knowing efficiencies are always driven from the top, this is the primary likelihood.
The jury is still out on the long-term durability of bi-fold screens. Looking at the folding mechanism for the tri-fold doesn't inspire confidence in me.
While not even the office dress code requires a shirt and tie, I still wear them when WFH, as well as smart trousers. At the end of my working day I change into casual clothes. That's how I delimit being "at work" and being "at home".
1) the USA is bigger than all of EU geographically. Seattle to Miami is about the same distance as London to Tel Aviv Israel.
2) Population Density. The US has huge swaths that are less dense. Between LA and SF, is basically farmland with some cities here and there. The HSR is being built right in that corredor and this is the BEST we have so far
3) Unions. The whole project was largely created as a make work program for Unions at prevailing wage. Which feeds the (D) party coffers exclusively.
4) Democrats. Democrats run the state. They can't blame R for anything. But they do anyways.
We have "high speed rail". They are called Airplanes. For the cost of the HSR project, California could buy every man/woman/child at least 10 Round Trip flights between any two CA airports. This does not include the cost of the train tickets, which are largely expected to exceed plane tickets for the same trip.
Unfortunately, trains have some sort of emotional capture with a group of people who don't care about such things like costs, because they are covered by taxpayers.
I can almost guarantee that the cost of this will spiral out of control and take way longer to complete than they are telling you right now.
CA High Speed Rail, was supposed to be done by now, it doesn't have a single working section, and has already ballooned its expenses. But here we are, throwing good money after bad, instead of cutting it off.
it wasn't politics as you said, it was a legal status. The politics was fought in DC, by elected representatives. A lot of stupid laws in place, compliance isn't politics, it is survival.
