This is where I’m just like, skill issue.
Well that’s everything. If you are an expert you can do it quickly and accurately. Everyone else needs to take more time and will make mistakes. Word Processing software means a single typo doesn’t ruin ten minutes of typing. It enabled regular people without skill to type well enough to do the work themselves.
Maybe but you have to work with the data you have, not the data you want to see.
Imagining that the enemy is on the brink of collapse isn’t a good mind set when you are fighting something. It encourages laziness.
Typing quickly on a mechanical typewriter is a skill not easily mastered. It’s not just the typing, it is the extreme accuracy needed. There’s no backspace and no cut and paste. A letter covered in white out isn’t acceptable.
That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.
Capitalism has been doing that long before LLM’S.
That’s just making one person do the job of more than one.
How do you call bs on one person doing the work that used to take two? It was one person and an intern.
Every company had a secretary pool 60 years ago before word processors allowed people to type by themselves without an extra support person.
I don’t use it but my wife uses it for spreadsheet equations. She has to verifiy and test every answer but then so would anything written by an intern.
So yeah, AI is killing jobs, not in an individual sense, but in aggregate like spreadsheet software did 50 years ago when before that all work was done by hand.
Are you willing to pay 10x what you pay right now
They lost $20B on $50B revenue. That means they only need to double the price to make up the loss and have a profit.
He did not “program” 6 languages. Even if he was a super genius and spoke 6 languages, there’s physically not enough time for Anakin to have typed the entire vocabulary and grammar of 1 language, much less 6.
Imo, his “programming 6 languages” was plugging in 6 hardware language modules and running a command to load them.
abusing their position as platform owners to turn “trust” into a paid gatekeeping mechanism?
It’s not about trust. It is a paid gatekeeping mechanism. Apple got away with it and everyone copied Apple. Microsoft was the last commercial hold out thinking people didn’t want to be controlled. Boy were they wrong.
Apple will fight it with everything they can. Latest MacOS27 hides linux partitions from the bootpicker so it is blocked in firmware.
New model year for cars starts in September. Weird tradition.
A 555 can keep time for the 1 minute needed before a fridge beeps that it has been left open. It’s not an alarm clock. It doesn’t matter if it is off by a few seconds.
Credit card info has been stolen en mass many many times over the past 40 years that I’ve been online. In the 1980’s I could download lists of credit cards off of BBS’s.
A microcontroller is overkill. A 555 chip will do it.
A 555 is $0.05
More reliable and the poster is wrong, it is cheaper.
A timer circuit is cheaper than a microcontroller.
I did that and it works well. The only problem is that when the battery goes to 0 on a long outage, the UPS can’t recharge it. I had to pull the battery, charge it with a lifepo4 charger, then reinstall.
Short outages are fine.
If you are using a buck converter you might as well use a ups. They’re both going to be ~ 95%.
Mediterranean is too broad. Northern Italian and Greek were ok for Nazis.
Certainly not Libyans, Egyptians, Palestinians etc.
You can’t argue from the premise of conspiracy. Are they exaggerating? Maybe? But you absolutely cannot state with confidence that you know a huge secret hidden from all Wall Street analysts.
$20B loss on $50B revenue are the numbers that Wall Street thinks is correct. That’s the data you have to go off of without unsupported conspiracies.
