I am not railing against anyone. I am simply pointing out the fact.

I am part of the 5%. But not on Steamdeck. Proton has made gaming on Ubuntu feasible, and I usually don't have issues with compatibility.

Obviously, Electricity is a National Security issue. It's naive to state that the problem is gas prices. Germany is seeing Steel, Automotive, and other hard science companies leave for that very reason.

The strategy should have been to build an energy architecture that reduces prices while being robust against force majeure events.

My observation is that research, especially in AI has left universities, which are now focusing their research to a lesser degree on STEM. It appears research is now done by companies like Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Tencent, Alibaba, among many others.

I bought shares after the IPO but sold them all after trying their patty and then forgetting the rest in the freezer for 6 months.

I think the age of SaaS and Software companies is over. Given by all the overhyped TikTok videos there are lots of roles which are not needed.

LangChain is not over-engineered; it's not engineered at all. Pure Chaos.

"dehumanizing"?

What is human about a career website where you can upload your document and answer questions about your sex life, race, religion, and gender?

Tech jobs are up, just not in the US. I know personally 2 people who got hired without an interview to fill two open roles.

Because these are our societies. We build them. If this door were to swing both ways, I would not have an issue. But it never does. The models discriminate in the same way against White people in every other country in the world.

I build AI for banks. A couple of weeks ago, I had a meeting with a Google team on Legacy Modernization using Agentic AI. Let me phrase it this way. None of them were smart. My team and I were shaking our heads at the low skills of the team. While this might have been true 20 years ago, I am sure there are pockets of smart people somewhere. But Google now employs 200K people worldwide. I am certain that it's hard to keep up the quality.
