so they keep making UI changes for the sake of doing something to justify their existence.
They wasted testing efforts on UI changes that could have used for fixing bugs and improving performance instead. This is an organisational problem of having the wrong talent mix in the team, and management that lacks vision and sense of responsibility to make corrections.
How is the world better off now than it was before this war started?
The same way after a theft or robbery happened. The theives got richer.
Be careful when you claim AI is an existential threat to humans.
Do you know what people and countries are justified to do against existential threats? They are justified to destroy these threats.
Are these AI companies saying that Russia and China (and every human beings on Earth) are totally justified to bomb these AI companies and their datacenters to a crater to stop them from destroying all humans?
The Internet is a real thing and stayed with us, doesn't mean the Dotcom Boom back in 2000 wasn't a bubble. I doubt the current profits of all internet companies can justify the stock prices 26 years ago, even assuming those companies back in 2000 all survived to this day.
The current "investment" into AI absolutely dwarfed the Dotcom Bubble, there is no way the future profits of AI companies can justify their current valuations. We definitely has a bubble right now, and it is just a matter of time it bursts.
Is it?
You enter the mailing address for each payee, and they print and mail a physical cheque to them from the bank.
This is called Online-to-Offline (O2O), I heard that Japan have this to perfection, e.g. you register for an event on their website, they email you a QR code, you would think you should this QR code on your phone to enter the event? Nope, you need to print out the email and hand in the physical paper with the printed QR code to enter.
Not to mention entering data into a spreadsheet then print it out to fax to the recipient.
I think US banks have a lot to learn from the Japanese, LOL.
There's a good chance that the rehired engineers will be hoarding critical information from this point forward. Unethical, but they've been treated unethically preemptively.
Not just the rehired ones, EVERYONE in the company will be hoarding critical information and making it inaccessible to AI if they have any sense.
I'm guessing not a state actor. They already have enough other backdoors that Microsoft already put in for them, and plaintext is just too obvious even for them.
My bet is that this is just one more example in the already giant collection demonstrating Microsoft's utter incompetence around good engineering, robust security, and properly testing products before releasing them.
There's already far too much evidence showing the real purpose of AARO is to further obfuscate the issue rather than conduct any legit investigations.
If he just left a potato at his desk would anyone notice any difference?
..."classified a family of three earning $133,000 to $400,000 in 2024 dollars as upper middle class"
The median income in 2024 was $45,140. So a family of 3 all earning the median income would now qualify as upper middle class. Baloney.
This is clearly a rebranding of "upper middle class" than anything truly informative.
>> I use Motorola phones because they give you the closest thing to plain-old Android that you can find anywhere.
Wouldn't that be a Pixel phone? I mean by definition...
"If you've built great apps on any platform and care about crafting meaningful user experiences, I'd love to hear from you."
oh I'm forgetting that he as a human lives with something so dangerous to humans that it quickly killed an otherwise very fit and healthy cop just from being accidentally scratched by him?
It is wrong always, everywhere and for everyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. - W. K. Clifford, British philosopher, circa 1876
