Why would the model spend 4 days hacking into a machine if it is clever enough to just 'solve' the issue given? So either the AI is actually not very clever or useful ("Write fizz-buzz" - "Sure, let me just invent a new programming language first"). or the prompt was nudging it towards such a scenario.

Both are well written and well researched and although they both take an ulta-capitalist view of the world (might be good to also read something more socialist-leaning), at least when it comes to social issues you might get a bit more of a nuance by comparing their takes.

These issues pretty much never happened with these big RAM android phones.

I know because I had both and it was night and day. Like going from a netbook to a desktop machine.

Quite a few areas have their public transit fully funded by users and some even make a substantial profit. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio)

The US obviously loses out to places like Japan because you have the chicken and egg problem: to make money back you need enough people but for enough people to use public transport you need to invest in it.

> Every place I’ve lived charges a fuel tax to pay for roads.

Which, ironically, often only covers something like 10% of the cost :)

In a large city, you can often just walk in one direction, (or take transport in one direction), find yourself in a new neighbourhood and discover loads of interesting things (culture, food, shops, parks, ...).

In London there are hundreds of walks/hikes around and beyond the green belt, all within an hour train from central London.

I do agree that there are some places where this is more challenging.

China and Singapore are some of the more prominent examples.

I believe that unless your phone already has debugging enabled and the machine was already added a trusted machine for debugging, you're out of luck for controlling a phone with a dead screen?

I used to wear them every night and they definitely improved my sleep. But then I also had instances where my ear was blocked with wax for several days.

YMMV

So a story might be estimated at 3SP to implement but there's a high risk that it would blow out (e.g. idea was not fully proven in a PoC, work is in an area that is historically underestimated, reliance on a different team, etc.), so we set it to 5SP to include that risk. Maybe 50% of the time it does get finished in what a normal 3SP would finish in, but at least we've covered the 50% of time it blows out.

Due to data governance it will be difficult to move to a different provider.

At the same time, this price hike is so large that the ROI on copilot will be a net negative.

I think what will ultimately happen is that we will not pay Microsoft more than we currently do and we'll simply end up with less AI usage in the company and a reduction in productivity.

I host forgejo on a single NUC with a bunch of other stuff in Proxmox, the page loads in 6ms! Immich is not quite as fast but still a ton faster than Google photos.

Or, conversely, encourage programming languages to increase the number of features in their standard libraries.

After using their website and their app for a few hours I pretty much immediately decided to not proceed with them as the software was clearly not built by a team that has great competency in software development. This was a year ago so they've had plenty of time to polish it.

You sort of let that kind of stuff pass for a hardware company, but backblaze is not a hardware company. There's more to backup than just ensuring the disks at the data centre are replaced in a timely manner.
