I feel like that’s because the concept of software architecture isn’t really taught and understood industry wide; it is like getting a journeyman carpenter to design an addition to a building but they don’t understand how the original structure was built so they recommend to tear the original building down and start from scratch.

It is made worse as programmers have a vested interest in maintaining a construction once maintenance mindset since construction requires more labor then maintenance.

Brotato?

Google destroys its products all the time. This isn’t new.

The problem for Trump right now is that he doesn’t have anything that he can point to as a win and Trump can’t walk away without it being seen as a loss.

At least it buys time for Cuba.

Still not as lucky as avocado.

We kill the animals that can shit out their seeds, but we end up breeding them ourselves because avocados are delicious.

Well, what else would those engineers work on? Most of Meta’s product lines are either stable or dead. If they weren’t going to AI, they would just be going away.

I loved the season opener. It was hilarious having actual lawyers judge how bad it was and Mommy Standards and Practices was well done.

The problem is that there isn’t a Dropout community and the equivalent Nebula community is rather dead.

I think an interesting tweak to it is that the EU generally tries to portray American farming is so much worse than EU farming, yet EU farming still has some of these bad habits

I’ve run some very small ones. A large one would feel like running a sewage treatment plant.

Those fuckers did it, they finally did it. They dropped the gay bomb.

There were a lot of initial economic studies done as electric cars started taking off trying to figure out how to pay for road infrastructure as the USA funded a lot of its infrastructure on gas taxes and that revenue stream was going to go away.

One of those studies found that, if you billed out the infrastructure costs per mile and included all other non-human costs of driving a car around, it was cheaper to have an empty car drive around than to pay for parking in certain urban areas.

Sounds like Waymo figured this out.

I’m just waiting for when it becomes obvious that the owners of the compute used for AI models aren’t going to make the money from AI.

Given that Ford mostly gave up on building cars, what else do they have?

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.

And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.

You can argue that primary and secondary school was about workforce productivity, but college was designed for leadership training.

The point of an undergraduate degree isn’t knowledge; knowledge is only the first level in Bloom’s Taxonomy, a set of six levels of how people understand different topics.

The problem with the use of AI in college is that students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice. Using AI in college is like using a machine to lift weights. Sure, the weights are moved, but it doesn’t benefit the person who needed the exercise.

The outfit is effectively picked out for him. Him choosing what to wear could mean he was giving an opinion on the speech.

The Prime Minister.

The King’s Speech is effectively when the Prime Minister sticks his hand up the King’s ass and uses the King as a puppet to speak to his or her political goals for that session of Parliament.
