When I started at IBM back in the 80s in NZ, there were plenty of 1403 printers still in operation, though no 1401 CPUs. Since they were old even then, and NZ was something of a computing backwater (on a training course…
In the example of Ukrainians, to protect their families and loved ones.
There's a video of a Finnish clay target champion taking on drones with a shotgun. The first one gets him because he's unfamiliar with their flight paths. After that he does better but it clearly shows that you'd have…
We live in a remote area with no surrounding lights, perfect for star watching. It disgusts me that now, at all times, I can see strings of man made objects polluting the skies.
> Needing more electricity in a capitalist country literally causes the energy mix to become more green over time. Perhaps true, but meaningless except as a vanity metric if fossil fuel usage rises as well.
ERP and corporate procurement in a nutshell.
Customers (especially large ones) don't so much buy individual specific products, they buy into a company and its prospects. Customers don't want to chop and change. They want to lock in with the leader. This whole…
Not really - survivorship bias means that the open source companies you are referring to have all already passed the first hurdle.
Fantastic rabbit hole - until it segued into Elon's love life.
I have a theory that swearing at AI generally is not a good idea - when the singularity arrives and every human's postings ever made are scanned for compatibility, then people who show courtesy to AI will be favoured.…
It could be there's a fork in the road for reddit. Some people are probably fine, even happy, immersing themselves in an all-bot world that panders to their worldview and strokes their virtual needs. While others are…
I feel reddit is having a near death moment. There are prowling bots trying to strike up engagement with stupid open ended questions "do you find that using a golf simulator improved your golf?" And some subs seem…
Why should a domestic landlord provide you with data center-level power protection instead of just the normal household utility connection?
I guess I don't really understand how this works although I admit to not reading everything. Most SaaS companies are very vigilant about not having per-customer code changes - many people have lived through the hell of…
I went back and looked again and while I have moved a little more to your position, I still believe it is misleading. The key text to me is "Our team unites top researchers, engineers, and strategists from pioneering…
I came here to agree with this. You don't put IBM's logo on your page just because one of your team used to work there. That gives off a bad signal to someone visiting your site. Everyone's faking it till they make it…
My friend built a construction management SaaS entirely via Claude. It looked damned impressive, and it kind of worked to demo, but he is in no way a programmer, though he understood the problem domain very well. I…
Because having humans in the loop slows things down, much faster if the attacker can break into the system directly.
I've been around the block and I feel the same. The best complement to AI will be a human who is part architect (they know not to build the new system on lovable, and they understand the company's digital assets) and…
> [0] before someone responds "there's no definition of intelligence", don't be stupid. Way to subdue discussion - complaining about replies before you get any. But you're wrong, or rather it's irrelevant whether…
The prompt: "take existing decades-old knowledge about best practices in setting up alerts and spin it into a multi-page article presenting it as somehow novel, to assist our submarine marketing efforts".
Also - move the tech forwards! Buttons can be cool. Software controlled detents for rotary encoder knobs, back lit stream deck style buttons, cool knobs that combine twisting and pulling in/out.
Anyone exec wanting to move away from touchscreens and back to buttons would have flashbacks to Steve Balmer mocking the new iPhone and stabbing his fingers at the touch panel and making a fool of himself for eternity.
Artillery is just one piece in the puzzle and it has its place, with drone spotting. You can't jam a shell. But once your artillery positions can't be protected from drones then its game over for sure.
I think the opposite. Hardware is hard, as they say. Building such complex electromechanical designs to military specs without modern CAD tools must have been the equivalent of writing code in binary, without high level…
