    Landscape companies know time is everything especially when a commercial mower can go 6-10 mph. Every turn slows you down when your flying.

    He forgot to mention we'll need 1000 more data centers and 3000 new prisons to manage the chaos. So confused by this billionaire behavior with wanting to control society.

    I think Google is a bit sandbagging here knowing they have all the data and likely better models hiding. My theory is it's a bit of not disrupting the stock market direction by exp…

    Why is that AI was supposed to help juniors shine, because plenty of so called "senior devs" have never really learned properly, bad habits, or lack technical breadth to be called …

    You also risk senior talent who stay but doesn't want to change or adopt, at least with any urgency. AI will accelerate that journey of discovery and learning, so juniors are going…

    I think it's a combination of both, the LLM's today for coding are just average containing a lot of pre-2024 knowledge. The vibe tools are getting around some of the shortcomings a…

    Like a new diet every week, not everyone is losing weight. Great for snippets, suggestions, and helping with errors. But a long ways to go before it's more consistent and commonly …

    not the results I expected with the query "80+", "80+ Gold" worked better.

    I thought that was IBM, so confusing anymore.

    Pretty easy to filter out a majority of devs who don't know much including juniors before hiring. Not knowing stackflow doesn't mean much, but then again professors think that's ch…

    I'm sure that's happening right now. On the flipside will companies who hire in 4 years look at those CS/SWE kids as lessor skilled devs because they relied so much on AI to pass c…

    I don't think companies realize AI is not free. A 100+ devs, openai, anthropic, gemini API costs, the hidden overhead of costs not spoken about. Too much speculation that productiv…

    Why you see a 1000 jobs applications submitted in less than a day for a single software eng. job.

    Canon loves feature cripple but don't worry they'll incrementally add those features back on that next 4 year cycle. I've had the R5ii for a few days and would definitely use Topaz…

    Huge gap for building self service tools/dashboards for execs, just no sense of the schema and data to make them sql writers which you don't want. When metabase showed a version la…

    A huge costly mistake for Sprint trying to grow subscribers. Nextel's network was incompatible with Sprints, just a ton of business and technical issues. Sprint was always trying t…

    History repeats like the old seo directories such as dmoz, mods just on these power trips where common sense doesn't apply.

    Pricing is just out of whack regardless. Definitely a need for these tools but community adoption is pretty important.

    Buy an external usb drive, 1 or 2 bays with a 16 to 22tb drives and consolidate everything. Use backblaze for unlimited storage. If really only have around 6tb of actual data, a 2 …

    We ran into the same exact issue with Superset not being intuitive, just for a different audience that is more technical. Also went with Metabase which is good, easy to use, lacks …

    Just don't use any plastic parts, over-engineer the whole thing internally, no wifi, just a dial for temp and lever to engage. All these fancy toasters still can't toast bread.
