The glaring truth is no Large company ever says WOW with AI we can do so much more with the same staff. It's always We can do the same, with much less staff.

This collection of people, well actually, more like the 1% set the tax rules. Compare the tax rules from 1970s, to today, and you will definitely see that wealth is a zero sum game.

What are all the tables and plots for rooftop solar presented in the article then? I am confused.

Amazing how politicized panel use is obvious by these maps, as opposed to effectiveness.

The top 10% of American families own close to 70% of america's wealth. So if "America" is rich. Those are the folks who are rich. 90% of Americans are not rich.

I suspect if he changed the name to not include the college name, while people would be angry, there wouldn't be a real reason to take it down. The sending emails to the college system is also iffy.

I've never have a personal computer that came even close to powerful enough to do what i want. Compiles that take 15 minutes, is really annoying for instance.

well, the mismatch here is widened by the fact that almost everyone it seems uses git with a central, prominent, visible, remote repository. Where as git was developed with the a true distributed vision. Now sure that truely distributed thing only becomes final when it reaches some 'central' repo, but it's quite a big different than we all do.

More importantly, the US has banned these cars in America to give protection to american manufacturers.

Now we need the 1 cut and fold algorithm.

I definitely think it's language specific. My history may deceive me here, but i believe that LLMs are infinitely better at pumping out python scripts than java. Now i have much, much more experience with java than python, so maybe it's just a case of what you don't know.... However, The tools it writes in python just work for me, and i can incrementally improve them and the tools get rationally better and more aligned with what i want.

I then ask it to do the same thing in java, and it spends a half hour trying to do the same job and gets caught in some bit of trivia around how to convert html escape characters, for instance, s.replace("<", "<").replace(">", ">").replace("\"").replace("""); as an example and endlessly compiles and fails over and over again, never able to figure out what it has done wrong, nor decides to give up on the minutia and continue with the more important parts.

a pick up without flat bed rails has significantly reduced the areas where it can be used as a work truck. Pretty clear signal that the CyberTruck was a status symbol not a work truck.

why would you think that?

IMO mockito has a relatively good use experience. If you use MockitoExtension, especially, you write code that is relatively maintainable, and easy to mutate. The problem without MockitoExtension is you can throw all kinds of junk in there and it just sits there doing nothing, without you knowing it.

Spy's on the other hand, are a pain in the neck. I think they should be good in theory, but in practice they are difficult, the debuggers really don't work correctly, setting breakpoints, stepping, etc, is just broken in many cases. Would love to know if this is just a difficult bug, or something that is baked into spying.

Maybe where AI needs to take over is at the CEO level.

also, there is the case of the mismatched quantities for shopping, ie, the old hot dogs come in 10 packs, and rolls in 8 backs, etc.
