of course it wasn't as big as this new AI push, but since the 80s AI over promised and under devlivered, it's not the fault of AI, but the greed of the business people.

isn't it always easier to build factories machine first ?

same as the idea of building self driving cars enabled tracks with sensors and all instead of trying to resolve self driving cars in the wild.

very far from exciting or even "right"

just give tax credits based on innovation / investment criteria, to both companies and employees, Europe needs digitalization so badly, yet they find more complex ways to enable it.

if you know where to find something no point in knowing it.

Good news is that China has delivered their 8mm lithography machines and are promising 3mm sometime in the next two years. maybe this will introduce more competion down the road

The problem is that it's not a solution, the solution is to constantly push against inequility and increase social mobility while investing in productive industries (less housing speculations more manufacturing).

those are tough bills to swallow and they will lead any elected goverment out of the office, because strong shifts to an economy like this come with a lot of short term pain. and no one is willing to setdown and deal with 10 years of poor economy so that the future of the country is better.

we have lots of reporting in CSV, can't wait to start using it to run queries quickly

I don't understand any candidate who sends out a letter without researching the company for 30 minutes and taking another 10 to write a thoughtful cover letter. if you're not willing to put that effort into your potential future position, it's not even worth opening the CV from my side.

with that being said, I'm pretty sure marketplace regulations (such as booking.com) forces the marketplace to be out of the money flow. so this should be on the PSP side, it's strange that booking.com is halting payments this way.

same goes to vx effects in movies.

what about designing App UI / UX where you're completely in the flow and don't want to be disturbed.

how about complex data anylsis ?

If the price was not an issue and apps are mature, I could defenitly imagine lots of use cases around immersive work tasks ...

Investors expect that a stock would return it's value in dividents or the company will have a very likely positive future outlook, intel doesn't have the second (lots of debt, lots of capital required to stay compatitive and high interest rate).

letting go of employees for intel is only logical and they should keep doing it until they start seeing positive returns to their new investments.

Isn’t most creativity mashing things together that no one before thought of putting together?

the problem with smart people is that they know that they're smart and so they won't stop talking or driving the conversation.

Joe Rogan, pre pandamic / spotify deal was humble enough and would just invite people and let them talk, it was way more informative and less echo champery style of conversation ... I can't stand listening to this guy.

this reasoning is pure and simple and correct, you start from the top, not from the fact "they can afford it" because their job is not to spend the money they have their job is to increase value for investors.

all other companies are listed in 10s of Mil in Annual rev (sometimes one spike) or acquired for billions (which implies rev in 100s of mel).
