And it's not just Microsoft. Apple and other are having the same issue. Something fundamental seems to have happened post Covid but before AI. WFH, flood of Dev hiring, increasingl…

I have noticed in just the past two weeks or so, a lot of the naysayers have changed their tunes. I expect over the next 2 months there will be another sea change as the network ef…

I'd say that it's probably not a play against open source, but more trying to remove/change the bottlenecks in the current chip production cycle. Nvidia likely doesn't care who win…

What thing have you found most interesting or impactful for you?

No.

There are a number of OSS EDRs. They all suck. DAT-style content updates and signature-based prevention are very archaic. Directly loading content into memory and a hard-coded list…

Big tech has hit the IBM stage of their lifecycles, there will be a new Microsoft there in the next couple of years to reset things.

By 2025 the majority of applications will use AI in some way (mostly to allow for sloppy user input), in 5 years there will be no non-AI applications. For example, in healthcare (b…

I'd just love to see them keep this same energy when dealing with the actual police and end qualified immunity. They won't. But it would be the right thing to do.

No.

If you have a disease that causes organ damage, it's not that ridiculous. Look at the referenced studies. Multiple studies by different organizations performed 6-12 months out show…

This is my knee jerk reaction, but then I ask myself if I really want Trump (or Pelosi depending on your political persuasion) deciding how my search engine and social networks wor…

"Quality Federal Health Insurance for all" = yes "Medicare for all" = Terrible idea Medicare is insufficient coverage. Almost all folks on Medicare need supplemental insurance, or …

It’s just bureaucracy, which at a fundamental level is just a lack of trust in individual staff.

Personally, I think that Gab is a dumpster fire that it's best to avoid, yet I am very sensitive to browsers making content/editorial decisions for their users. From a security per…

Agreed. And so far in the dev releases, they are stripping out all the Google services.

Check any of the studies from the AHA, AMA, Beckers, or any of the financial institutions/investment firms reporting on the healthcare sector. It's ugly out there. Beckers tracked …

The truth is that in "gig" based economies guilds and unions are essential(portability of seniority, benefits, etc). If done right it benefits both the employer and the low and hig…
