Operating your tools and being able to maintain and repair your tools are the unequivocally essential skills for everyone in every single industry.

If you can’t, you are not a professional.

The concepts of machine logic, registers/lookups/etc are essential for every programmer. If you don’t have a clear idea about how the simplest CPU functions, you don’t have any basis of understanding the abstractions in front of you, scripting in JS. Not a professional.

What the fuck

How is he going to fix his tractor? Wait days for John Deere to send somebody? Let the crop rot on the vine?

You say that but they do. The Crown doesn’t have the authority to tell people to go get fucked directly anymore, there are the prime ministers and the rest of our elected officials.

So instead of actually doing nothing, they give a threatened man a weapon and show in other ways that they stand behind their people.

He’s our king but he doesn’t rule us. We stand for ourselves, and instead of keeping the item that was supposed to mark the start of his tenure, he immediately gave it to an ally that is being impinged upon.

I dunno, if he visits the white house wearing it they’ll still take it

You didn’t just punch him in the mouth?

I think dumping stock is less the fraud, could have been structuring sales to take advantage of tax year stuff. Like they delayed reporting.

Or they regain less from writing them off then giving them away and taking the credit… Hmmm…

The batteries are good, we can buy the batteries not the whole car.

The cars themselves are built to be a locally sourced and consumed commodity. They don’t have the certification to sell in NA. The whole car being cheaper is a reflection of all these things.

Instead of cheap, I could have said less expensive.

Yeah how do you think it’s the cheapest? They have the most clever engineering methods or something?

No. It’s cheap material, cheap labor, concessions on everything.

Oh I get it.

Yeah running countries is a series of shitty compromises, unless you are small enough to gain consensus.

The drone strikes thing is a bad example. If he didn’t touch it, individual combat units could use drones with impunity. He required drone strikes to be approved by his office.

Tell me if you had the choice between sending in boots to kill a guy, or drone strike, would you really ever risk your guys getting shot?

He added red tape, the minimum thing he could do. I’ll agree with criticism that he did the bare minimum, but all these comments about this frame it like he was horny for drones. That’s reductive and misleading.

Her degrees are ECE and conservation so no.

So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.

If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.

My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.

Maybe support agent was being lazy, or ignorant.

The portal the agents use should be able to bring up internal info via keywords like “colour registration”

With a dead crackhead brother you mean

If it doesn’t have real revenue, it can’t pay for it’s carbon footprint and will/should be regulated.

If there’s no known way to prevent these models from regurgitating copywrited works if they are trained on those works, how will it not be regulated that way?

Like I said, the way it’s driven now. It could be done differently.

Thor is the one person I was referencing

Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don’t miss out on content.

They are losing money on their 200$ subscriber plan afaik. These “goalposts” are all saying the same thing.

It is a dead end because of the way it’s being driven.

You brought up 100 billion by 2030. There’s no revenue, and it’s not useful to people. Saying there’s some speculated value but not showing that there’s real services or a real product makes this a speculative investment vehicle, not science or technology.

Small research projects and niche production use cases aren’t 100b. You aren’t disproving it’s hypetrain with such small real examples.

Right, and what percentage of their expenditures is software tooling?

Who’s paying for this shit? Anybody? Who’s selling it without a loss? Anybody?
