He could have 2 Lotus Notes that don't work.
OR the whole mission could be running on Node.js! Javascript everywhere, even the moon!

do you even outlook? you'd know if you did.

I'll keep my mind, and stop calling me Shirley.

"No one cares how much money you are saving if people are dying"
Well it's a corporation. They can degrade the quality of service until it starts having a negative impact on perceived shareholder value.
But the CEO is a doctor! You can trust him because he's a doctor.

True. The car dealership that sucked up all the other car dealerships in town is the highest sales tax generator in the city, ahead of Home Depot and all the other grocery stores. They have a lot of local political power and influence.

Every transaction with a dealership is a rip off. Even after agreeing on a price they will submit a higher price to the financing company (even if you didn't want financing, because they "can't do that price without financing".
I never buy anything new though anymore. I did lease a new car once, but that also is a no-no. I don't mind fixing high-mileage things as long if I save $40k off the original price.

It takes a lot of time to create GOOD code with LLMs. The first thing it generates might be good, but not good enough to ship. All the happy-path tests and unnecessary string equals checks (like testing that a hard coded message is the exact string we specified... come on now) aren't going to tell you about all the edge cases you missed. It can only generate what you tell it to. There will be bugs.

Yep, this is it. Doing code reviews as a senior engineer for about 7 team members and a few dozen contributors is a lot of work. Doing that all day with 2-3 agents working simultaneously is just as intense. Claude etc keeps telling you that "this is production ready, ship it!" because I/we did a little tuning that fixes some bugs and edge cases. But I find more, and MORE and some other issues, and each time it tells me "now its ready to ship!"
It's like there is an expert level of knowledge there, but you can't assume it's actually utilizing that level at any time. Every time I update a PR with new changes, Github does yet another copilot review and THAT stuff needs to be analyzed..
If I am running 3 agents AND dealing with jr. engineers questions I'm pretty fucking tired by mid-afternoon. Right now in fact, which is why I'm reading slashdot.

You're absolutely right!

Go collect all my tax documents, log into a tax app and do my taxes correctly.
or just zip them into one file and send them via encrypted client to my accountant.

don't delete or move anything.

A cast nosecone made with some sort of ceramic coating would do the trick. It's not like refractory materials are military grade. I've got some not cheap stuff that wsill reflect heat up to 5000f indefinitely as long as it doesn't get mechanically worn off of a surface. Also, lets see one of these actually do hypersonic flight at sea level.

"harms to children, such as sexual exploitation and detriments to mental health, were inevitable on the company's platforms due to their vast user bases"

Zuck and his lawyer are admitting that the very nature of their business is detrimental to society. What is the upside? They make hundreds of billions of dollars while firing half of their staff because their agentic AI tool is supposed to be good enough to replace some 40k employees. It seems like working in any corporation there's always a big part of the ship that's on fire, and we workers just sorta go about our lives knowing that we are probably contributing to the overall societal harm so that we can pay the rent and maybe retire someday.

Turn on lamp.

It would have been THE plan if Trump had not waded in and fucked it all up. The problem with subsidizing something you believe is necessary or good is that the next administration has a tiny boner for destroying everything you tried to accomplish and really has no other plan. Honda had to change plans because the current administration is completely moronic but somehow pro-business, because they're Republicans and they love money, right? Incompetence by the government is bad for business. It's bad for everything really, but we're talking about car companies building new products in America, which is a thing the current administration SAYS it wants, but has no idea how to achieve. Actually with the cost of gas likely to skyrocket to $10/gallon due to Trump's Great Middle Eastern Excursion War, EVs may suddenly make sense to the bewildered public again.

Anything that is not an actual country but has "Nation" in its name is sus. It's not a nation, it's a corporation.
"Fox Nation" or "Truck Nutz Nation" etc.

I'm not including "The Nation of.. " type names. I don't want to get assassinated.
