We have moved some "low cost" work from India to other reigons, now that translation is improved... At the same time, we are reducing the proportion of outsourced work, because a l…

Indian tech sector has seen rapid decline; the Indian outsourcing model is obsolete. I can now translate tasks that can be easily split to low cost regions, and not have to deal wi…

Ive never liked this framing; "the public good" is too nebulous an idea to justify how tax should be spent. I, and people like me create wealth. Some of that wealth is pooled at an…

I think this fundamentally misunderstands what people want... Currently I live in a city with an OK pt network; in the a high density apartment. I chose this because I can catch a …

We dont categorize humans that way; not because humans are different but because of cultural norms. The generous idea is that "subspecies" does not provide an anthropologist a usef…

This is exactly what I mean though; the technical decisions for the SLS, and every bit of "institution" that follow are so flawed that I dont believe you can draw a path from this …

Im not really convinced SLS and Artemis are best effort projects; we improve through refinement, and the only way to get there is cadence. More launches with the same general missi…

I am yet to see quality work come out of India. I do not believe I have even seen "good value" output. What is there to respect?

I can only speak to what I see in my social circle; but the general conclusion is the value is not there currently, and the AI tools theoretically make the payoff decline relative …

Ive been doing this for a while, and seen many people try; the success ratio is so low that I consider it a fools errand. There are many reasons why; but simply there is no surplus…

Perhaps in the long run there will be very few developers globally; but in the short term, I see less and less use for the whole idea of low-cost outsourcing. The historical value …

The biggest positive I have seen is not so much in the new tools, but in new ways to convince the higher ups to do sensible things. We always find that small teams of locals can do…

This is one of the areas that annoy me due to how limp microsoft is with the requirements... Either give a solid set of requirements that let a dev assume things about a windows 11…

The point about militia is a short statement for why the right to bear arms is important, rather than trying to restrict or qualify the right. The ability to form militias is so im…

They have a current production capacity in the high hundreds of thousands, a software solution that has a reasonable chance of competing in the self driving market, and a worldwide…

Optimus is not a leader in humanoids; but that china demo is not really all that impressive; They are lightweight, reduced scale, and not all that dynamic... No idea how adaptable …

Its not that strange; normally manufactures are focused on volume and brand. So you have the 3 and Y in numbers where they can compete in the mass market price range; and CT and FS…

I fully believe highly skilled people can get a great benefit from LLM tools; probably not 10x; but enough that its noticeable. The key thing for me is that it only works when the …

Not remotely true; Look up "one chip" designs. Yes, there are some security threats, but solving them is more valuable than trying to design a car around true firewalls.

Post crash connectivity (as well as complex video classification) are part of the ncap standards now. And with the way we are moving to centralized one system architectures, the de…

The eternal-september; or its international equivalent, kills things because the nature of the public you are interacting with has changed. These issues with reports and junk contr…
