Lol, now you're accusing me of not writing my own posts here? Hilarious!

>> The competition is easily keeping up with Claude Code

Show evidence. Like I did.

One can hope, but perhaps they'll get a bail out.

Depends on the scale a steel plant may use a lot. The npp that was my first job was sending a full GW of power to a steel manufacturer back in the day. There's a lot more going on in a steel factory than just heating a kettle - there are many kettles, most produce something that has to be formed and annealed, which means heating it up and maintaining it so, plus there are the extra operations after it is done, etc.

But that notwithstanding, you're absolutely right, keeping stuff cool at scale does take crazy amounts of power and a large datanceter can easily outpace a small steel operation just on the cooling.

Looks like OpenCode is #7.

Trump unilaterally pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018 reimposing its nuclear related sanctions. The admissions you are referring to occurred some four years after the US bailed.

If you can't, or won't work from home, having work from home still benefits you.

First, if people around you are working from home, suddenly rush hour stops being such. You benefit because the roads are less busy so you get a smoother commute. Less traffic on the roads means you get to your destination way quicker and time spent commuting goes down.

Second, if you have to fight for parking, well, less people to fight with which means you probably can find a parking space much quicker or it's just less packed overall so you're not hunting for that one empty space.

Third, if you're packed in the office, fewer people means more space.

All this means everyone saves on gas - working from home people save on gas. Everyone having to go into the office means gas isn't wasted in traffic jams of hunting for parking as well.

It's just like how improving public transit options helps those who have to commute by car as well - someone taking the bus means one less car on the road. A full bus means several blocks worth of cars are taken off the road making the road less congested overall.

Benefits all around. Even better, it doesn't actually cost taxpayer money to implement - no one has to build new roads. Heck, make it so employers who want people in the office should provide electric cars to their employees or pay a gas tax and RTO will suddenly reverse.

Interestingly, a live Linux disc can be imperfect too, if something is installed at boot from BIOS, for instance. Even then, I'd want sandboxing on my live linux boot. There is no perfect security. This is clear. Like how Anthropic's Claude just got released into the wild, all after Anthropic was supposed to be the bug squashers of the universe.

Lulz. We do like our China-built EX30. Don't love it, but like it. Also, how many years did it take for Volvo to move production? 4 years of Biden. Over a year of Trump this term. And then how many years of Trump tariffs on Chinese cars before that? All for one model that will probably sell poorly. Call me when BYD is BYuilding in the US of A.

Why do you define people not adhering to your idea of a lifestyle "crazy"?

I for once neither like scuba diving, because I don't like the feeling of rubber on my skin, nor do I think skiing all year round is something important to do. I live in the Alps, I can go skiing whenever I feel like it anyway, but I barely do. And inhaling something from the boobs of some paid person was never a dream of mine. If that rocks your boat, why not find something who will do it because they like you, or they like the sensation of someone snorting something from their boobs? Ted Turner once said, Life was a game, and Money is how you keep score. Why in your opinion is chasing the next highscore in some computer game a worthwhile way to spend your time as a billionaire, while trying to increase your highscore in money is not?

Many of us don't want to work from home.

Can't stand it myself. Even when I was flying solo as a contactor I hired a desk in a co working space because I liked having someone else to work with other people around. I gained useful info there too.

Plus WFH doesn't work well for R&D jobs other than maybe a very rarified few. Nothing quite like a real whiteboard. Plus I now have constraints of physical equipment that preclude remote work.

IME quite a few (though not all) remote workers just want to be left alone to quietly do their thing. That only works if their thing aligns with the company and there's enough lone work. I've encountered too many software engineers who end up just fiddling with peripherally related stuff that kind of looks like real work but is actually mostly useless. Frankly once you are a big enough company (I'm not thank the gods) you can't rely on hiring above average so you need to deal with those people somehow and get work out of them.

Ok ok ok yeah sometimes I fuck around on the lathe a bit in lieu of doing actual work. One of the perks of being in work I suppose.

Anyhoo where was I?

Oh yeah life choices. What fuel costs? I ride an acoustic bike into work. I live somewhere where I'm not constrained to drive to live my life.

Ironically, many consider it a major downside of OnlyOffice that it is based on OOXML, since that format is considered less open than ODF.

It is one of AI most compelling use cases and you don't even have to actually use AI. AI is the perfect excuse for humans that laid other humans off while pretending it is not simple cost cutting and downsizing. Sounds better to investors than telling the truth.

I spend my time reading /. where we run stories such as that estimations of microplastics may be incorrectly overreported. Maybe the problem isn't the media but rather what you choose to commit to memory from it?

Yeah but The Guardian is alarmist trash right? They wouldn't ever run stories like this that say science is overreporting something https://www.theguardian.com/en... No sirree.

As much as I hate it, TypeScript is a legitimate choice.

There are millions of developers out there to choose from, which makes sourcing talent far easier and cheaper.

There are several runtimes to choose from for optimization, and massive 3rd party library support for practically everything.

It's a strongly-typed language that prevents you from footgunning yourself in any myriad of ways, which "transpiles" back to good ol Javascript that runs everywhere.

I'd be more worried if competent people were attempting something.

These idiots can't even redact documents properly.
