Most countries with a standard of living that even barely better than their neighbors have an immigration problem. There is a whole continent call Europe that is fighting off migrates and last I checked, birthright citizenship is not a thing there.

It is worse than that. Companies are killing their EV models and discontinuing [sedans](https://www.autoblog.com/features/these-automakers-no-longer...) in favor of trucks and SUVs.

> Fundamental fairness requires that if an automated system denies you a loan, a house, or a job, it be able to explain something you can challenge, fix, or at least understand.

The overuse of metaphors makes me feel like this person is trying to reinvent Chef, but for AI.

Another hot take: maybe we will see a spike of compiles languages like Go, Rust and WASM, over Python, Ruby, and Node.

New comment by rilindo in "Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”"

Related, somewhat, but I am moving away from Microsoft Office and to Apple's Pages/Numbers/Keynote/FreeForm, mostly because they are free and they are good enough.

I got complicated feelings about that. He did help pave the way for Linux, but he also killed OS/2.

I always thought that Debian is already on git, so this confused me. How is source control currently (or was) done with the Debian project?

This feel suspiciously like the sendmail-fiction of postfix. I don't know if that is a good thing.

EDIT: Not really, but it still feels like adding unneeded

Where will the money and resources to develop AWS AI come from? Not from Incident Manager, that is for certain.
