Comment Re:AI (Score 1) 45

Skilled jobs (engineers for example) being replaced by AI will be filled with warm bodies again, but in lower cost centres of excellence such as Romania, India, China.

The work from home experience has shown that it's perfectly reasonable to have teams spread over different time zones due to tools like MS Teams that make collaboration easy.

I'd not want the project manager role, though, with conf. calls at 5AM and 8PM...

Comment Bailout (Score 3, Insightful) 21

"The issue was so severe that in September the UK government had to step in with financial support to the tune of £1.5 billion as JLR struggled to bring its systems back online."

Because parent Tata Motors https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... (a public company) can't afford to pay for its own screwups, so the cost is socialised to the British taxpayer.

The solution is easy. The contract for a provision like this should include a very large penalty for each and every single hallucination found in the final product.

Fine.

But check the final product before shipping.

The other benefit is that every citation will essentially have to include a webpage reference so that the citations can be checked before release.

Comment Re:POP is still the best for some reasons. (Score 1) 48

The problem with IMAP is the synchronisation. Firstly, delete a email by accident (or someone else does) in one instance of Thunderbird, and the other copies will be deleted too. Secondly, your host system (Google here) has a complete record of every email you care about. With POP, you can log into the mail host and clear out all your emails periodically without affecting everything.

TL/DR: With IMAP, all your email history is dependent on someone else's computer.
