To me it sounds like they took a lot of shortcuts and everyone from the team, barring the last engineer standing, were driven away by the looming Mount Debt

Maybe it was some kind of sarcastic jab, but I don’t really understand the point either

Or the pigeon can be the drone itself, what a wonderful world it is

Yeah, some of them were lucky to get funded by corporations

UBI would be nice, but I guess we’re not seeing it, same as any other improvements

I don’t get the connection, could you elaborate?

Maybe because of post body being an ad instead of something useful

I like his art, and have been reading his comics before AI flood, but one thing I find very annoying now that I didn’t notice before: AI slop tends to draw characters staring intently at nothing, completely missing an object they are supposed to look at, so now it irks me whenever I see that even if it’s a human made art. Edit: and to be fair, here the character looks at a parrot instead of painting, which is valid but feels off at a first glance, maybe I just need to go touch some dry grass left. end edit

Same thing to a lesser extent for when a character does an action like chopping a PC monitor with an axe, but it looks like a slap instead, which I also have seen made by humans. I get it, action poses are hard, it’s just now I’m more sensitive to those because of all the slop 😩

I haven’t read the article at all yet, but for me the office is good for socialising and preventing overtime. It’s hard for me to keep track of time sometimes, getting easier when I don’t work from home.

Of course, that is still something that can be had at home too

Frankly, it looks like nobody making decisions is doing that based on numbers anymore, and if that’s a case, it is definitely happening based on vibes.

Or not, if something new and shiny captures their attention before that.

We were hiring in Spain and took way longer, and CV often looked better than the candidate, and we don’t even do stupid shit like live coding or homework projects

That makes sense, but this might also take a long time

Well, I meant it more in the sense that otherwise moving is usually hard work and is more or less no different for any country

Hm, maybe I was wrong, will edit then

To eastern Europe, for instance

Shit ton of money and being prepared for huge taxes could help

Edit: turns out the taxes are better than in other places

Thothos or something like that

Quality of output differs by a lot for local models, but I also think that local should be the way forward

I don’t know if you hinted on this, but the story is wild:

A passenger on National Airlines Flight 27 was blown out of the window of an airplane at an altitude of 39,000 feet (12,000 m) over the U.S. state of New Mexico, after the number 3 engine on the Douglas DC-10-10, exploded and fragments penetrated the fuselage. The jet had been en route from Houston to Las Vegas when the accident happened at 4:40 in the afternoon, and made a safe emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to the subsequent NTSB investigation, the cockpit voice recorder showed that the engine explosion happened immediately after the first officer asked the captain “Wonder— wonder if you pull the N1 tach will that— autothrottle respond to N1?” and the captain replied, “Gee, I don’t know.” The first officer then said “You want to try it and see?” Thirty-four seconds later, the explosion happened. An extensive search was unable to locate the passenger, machinist George F. Gardner of Beaumont, Texas, who had been sitting by the window in seat 17F.

That you can link here?

More or less, but it looks like the majority of the countries is not willing to do that (I only heard of real results at scale in Finland, tbh)
