Viewing profile — Underqualified

The market is partly a Ponzi scheme where more people buying inflates the price, regardless of the underlying value. The modern stock market is not focused on dividends (anything b…

This response sounds an awful lot like what ChatGPT would say ...

I work in manufacturing and one of the driving forces here is the proposed cost of these humanoids. The target price range given by some companies is somewhere between 10k€ and 30k…

I work in a big corporation in Europe. Officially we're only allowed to use CoPilot, but a lot of people just have their own subscriptions. Management either turns a blind eye or i…

This is my feeling about both IT and AI. It enables companies to do a lot of things which don't really bring value. One of the biggest use case for AI in the company I work for now…

My company recently decided to move away from Power Automate after having trained lots of people on this 'no code' platform and then having to hire expensive consultants to support…

We were talking about TVs recently in the office and pretty much everyone agreed that even 4K is overkill for most TVs at a reasonable viewing distance. I got a 65inch TV recently,…

This resonates with me, but I quit programming about a decade ago when we were moving from doing low level coding to frameworks. It became no longer about figuring out the actual p…

Many years ago I read the classic 'How to win friends and influence people' and I was just hit with, according to that book, how little people actually care about other people and …

Do people think they taste the same ? I can normally tell them apart on smell alone.

Sure it can, that's why healthcare is so profitable.

Manufacturing, close to the floor, where you often need to react fast and start in the morning with no idea what you will be doing that day, yet will still have more work than hour…

Reddit has grown significantly the last few years, but it still has only about 50-60 million daily users, compared to Facebook's nearly 2 billion daily users. Don't get me wrong, I…

I've seen UseNet die, so I'm not so sure. What Reddit does (and UseNet before it) is really niche. There aren't as many people on Reddit as there are on Facebook and Reddit isn't a…

The GUI apps have the benefit of being easier for onboarding. We've redesigned the workplace to deal with constant employee turnover. I guess they also make more sense to managemen…

But the Moon Ribas example requires outside communication, I'm just saying that it seems possible to prevent using that effectively. As for electronics, I assume most can be detect…

They are now using a 15 minute delay to avoid outside communication. Jamming signals is also entirely possible.

I think it's because of a critical mass of users. I can communicate with my parents and my entire circle of friends on WhatsApp, they weren't there 10 years ago.

See: most of Europe. Few of my friends and family under 40 are married here. Some are getting married now, but more as a celebration of their relationship than anything else.

David Graeber talks about this in his book 'bullshit jobs'. He also links the rise of bullshit jobs to the rise of burnouts and other mental issues.

One thing I read recently which seemed weird at first but has made me really consider a lot of things about current culture differently: "Taking offence is an act of aggression"

As a mechanical engineer : No, my education didn't. The problem is that most real world problems take too much time to really solve to fit in any modern ciriculum.

In my company we use a PLM system for technical drawings. Jira is an absolute dream compared to that.

I always felt that if you wanted the same functionality as c++ in terms of performance, flexibility and power of abstraction, you'd end up with something as complex as c++. Modern …

They claim a resolution of 50 microns which is far removed from 'single digit' microns, and generally too much for precision mechanics.
