that would 100% be a firing offence.

Honestly, setting an AI you don’t control lose on your production database? Really? That’s just gross incompetence. This is code that a) wasn’t written or reviewed by a human, and b) code that wasn’t even tested on a development copy of the database.

Developers that do things like that are a liability. Unfortunately as “founder” he’ll likely just post something on LinkedIn about learning from his mistakes and “personal growth”, and that will be the end of it. Anyone else would have been shown the door to accelerate their “personal growth”.

Yes, exactly. Best Buy got Napster because they bought Roxio - the CD-Burning software company. LOL. "Roxio Toastt". Roxio was the first vulture to pick the bones of the original Napster, buying branding assets when the feds shut it down.

Invented virtualization.

Doesn't ANYBODY but me remember that "Napster" was actually RealNetworks? You know, the old Real.com that was the Internet's first scale, commercial streamer? Real became Rhapsody for several years. Rhapsody had no name recognition, so they bought the Napster name from it's owners... BEST BUY.

It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.

Hitting that tab button.

My Briefcase was like Dropbox for your 3.5" floppy disks. I think I upgraded to a Zip drive around that time. YIPPEE!

I've noticed that people who are disagreeing with people who reference the law or constitution directly as the source of decisions are being flagged as Off Topic or Troll.

We have gotten so far away from what is actual constitutional and what is not that people can't handle being shown what is true.

Fitting name because I'm perplexed why anyone would knowingly install this. (I bet they won't, it's going to be bundled on cheap PCs for sure!)

Yeah I think this is it also. In general I prefer office work, but I like the option of working from home in case of some kind of emergency, but where I work they this year classified my job as not WFH eligible, even though 95% of my work during the week is over SSH, or working in Office 365.

The T3U Plus for the price is a great adapter. We keep them around at work whenever someone needs to move a PC somewhere that doesn't have a network port and their not willing to pay to have a new line run. The regular T3U or the nano adapters though do not work very well. Stick to the T3U Plus.

That's correct. And from talking to someone who has had cancer, she had said that each so-called breakthrough is for a specific kind of cancer that does not translate over since each cancer is a unique thing that has different ways it forms. Radiation and chemo are the "poison the body and hope the cancer dies before the person does" approach.

Both apps are available in the associated app stores. iNaturalist takes pictures that you upload and attempts to identify them. Seek which is an associated app from the same people does it in real time with video so you can slowly pan around and it will start naming various plants and flowers.

They are trying to push manufacturers to not stockpile cheap older parts and instead, start selling more stuff like 14th gen that include the neural processor for AI support. So they can brand more thing as Copilot+ capable.

I struggled with some math in college that was "on paper". Meaning that I know it would take me 15 seconds to write a script to solve the math problem, but struggled to do it by hand on paper. I even remember asking the 70-ish year old instructor why do math symbols and programming symbols have to be different. Especially for boolean operations, I realized that it was pointless arguing but I at least wanted to say it out loud. In my university physics course I had my laptop out and would write little scripts for solving different problems where I could just plug in the numbers that the professor wrote on the board and immediately get an answer. She seemed impressed that I came up with that way for a solution.

"The area that Google did well in that would not have happened had I not been distracted is Android, where it was a natural thing for me. I was trying, although what I didn't do well enough is provide the operating system for the phone. That was ours for the taking."

The antitrust case was overturned by the Appellate Court in 2001. The DOJ and Microsoft settled the outstanding portions in November 2001.

Android Inc. was started in 2003, and was four guys using pre-existing Open Source components to build an OS for mobile phones. Google bought them in 2005, and the first handset using Android was released in 2008.

Bill, you had seven years and the entire backing of a massive corporation (including all of its employees and intellectual property) after the antitrust case was settled, and couldn’t pull off what four guys started and Google finished in five using Open Source components.
