Lufthansa has about 96,000 employees. This layoff is about 4%.

The US federal government needs to a) stop stimulating the economy and b) be reduced to the necessary and reduce the load on the economy.

'money is simply created as needed.'

Who does, how do they, determine the 'need'? That's the trouble we're in now. Britain has other problems, but the US will look like that soon enough unless we change.

If they did, it would not cover one year's interest on the national debt.

They are no longer part of the problem, unless you think the King could exercise a constitutional privilege and dismiss Parliament, forcing new elections. Which would not change anything either, so feh...

And not I'm being to understand why the Left in America cannot distinguish between racism and representative democracy.

Ukraine is not a functional democracy, and it's not because of war.

1) We're going to soon have better genetic engineering anyways. 2) The vast majority of people have no problems having kids. 3) Many people who cannot have children who want them cannot have children due to reasons that have nothing to do with genetics. For example, people can have serious injuries to their genitalia. Take for example people who have been injured by landmines or in car crashes. And as emergency care has gotten better, more o those people are surviving. 4) Aside from all the practical issues, maybe let people make their own personal decisions about how to use technology instead of imposing your authoritarian aims about imagined worry which will appear centuries in the future if ever?

Perhaps they meant 'attack surface'.

It would have been a kindness to, in your summary, define the acronym 'LIGO'. It's a good practice to define acronyms so that the audience can be informed and understand the text.

Sincerely,

One of so many /. users who appreciate effective communications, and put their name on their opinions despite the risk of specious insults and attacks.

Someone will ALWAYS be younger, more important, and better paid than I ever was or will be.

If that's your complaint, I'm so sorry for you. Your life will be bleak and sad, and only because you've been led down the path of unreasonable expectations.

And every response to my note that proclaims the injustices and evils that reward the powerful while punishing the righteous is more proof. If you have to ask me proof of what?', you're not being honest with yourself.

Don't I know if.

And I know that my religious and political views are also voluntary. I don't have to tell them to make up their own minds, but they do.

You think children universally kowtow to their parents' worldviews? I think you don't get out much. Most children will count to the shiny idea that makes them feel good. I did, until I had to pay bills and show up for work on time.

Your UID is evidence that you left university before the indoctrination became ubiquitous.

Let's say that were true. How much AI blather would you tolerate unwinding, over what period of time? '

Your answer might be: Hey V64, please analyze this and rewrite in Foo.

More Foo.

The wheels of justice turn slowly. But at the end, he'll or she'll get $28.19 as their share of the settlement of the class action, sometime in 2033.

Most human generated code is riddled with security holes and it takes a lot of careful work to even clear out the most basic ones. AI generated code is not different. (That said, I would not be at all surprised if this code crashed frequently or had other serious problems. If it can actually turn out a genuinely useful program this way, this would be a major step forward.)

This won't end well. Imagine all of the bad apps with spaghetti code for every employee who leaves for whatever reason.

There'll be an AI to undo an AI, then figure out the data stores and make sense of those.

This is an entropy vortex looking for a spot marked X.

Let the mayhem start.

I'll share this story from the 80s:

My littler brother was running a S/36 shop and hired a fresh graduate of the state university, with specific skills in RPG and OS/400. Gave them a project, a very simple report, and turned them loose.

After a few hours, they report. "I can't fine the file'. My brother responds, 'Yeah, you have to create the file'.

Four years of CS at this otherwise well regarded institution, and because they ran student jobs, in some sort of a partition, and due to space constraints and fear of runaway processes, students were not allowed to create 'files'. This graduate had no idea how, because they also did not teach that in any detail, since to do so would just encourage students to cause trouble.

After 15 minutes or so, my brother gave her the high level, and off she went. Not only no problems, but a great addition.

Yeah, training is everything, and lack of necessary training, indeed, renders your fresh hire unhelpful. Mind you, many corporate career jobs really need a new hire to fit in, learn the culture, and seek to understand first. This is not easy, and I am a repeat offender. And many corporate career jobs do not have time or room for learners.
