I wouldn’t get a magazine for news.

I still get paper thrasher for the pictures and the interviews for example. It’s not about latest and greatest.

That’s what, five people?

It’s a lot different when it’s thousands and thousands

I actually don’t think this is the case, since it’s just emulating actual behavior. In this case, real humans are talking like that, so if the AI adopts that in its training data, it’s not nonsensical.

It’s not really different from new slang getting passed in as training data and the AI using it.

But that is neglecting the performance aspect.

Something like this can be very good for offloading large amounts of data onto a parity backed array either to be moved to a proper long term storage solution later or to be actively worked.

High resolution / bitrate footage comes to mind, where you may be offloading multiple cameras at once and need high write performance.

It’s pretty unlikely that SSDs will have price parity with spinning rust anytime soon, but the value in them has always been performance.

Are people really not aware that you don’t have to have notifications for everything?

You can turn all the notifications off on your phone and watch.

The value the watch brings can be found in other places, for example, being able to stay connected and have music and emergency contact without needing to lug your phone with you during a run or if you lose your phone.

A smart watch means you can leave your phone at home more often in general while still being available to those who genuinely need to be in contact with you, which is great for reducing doom scrolling and the like.

Millennials are Gen Y

Take it a step further and declaratively configure your entire installation with nixos

Because you bought the bait of an obviously photoshopped picture?

I commonly will be in a call with friends, where we all stream the games we are playing independently to each other.

Another use case, one person screen shares YouTube for group watching

And one more, we will often play chess and screen share so others can watch.

This is for a group of 3-10 people typically

I’m skeptical. You are saying that your team has no hand in the provisioning and you deputized an AI with AWS keys and just let it run wild?

Did it provision a scalable infrastructure? Because that’s the aaS part of SaaS.

So you did one simple program.

SaaS involves a suite of tooling and software, not just a program that you build locally.

You need at a minimum, database deployments (with scaling and redundancy) and cloud software deployments (with scaling and redundancy)

SaaS is a full stack product, not a widget you run on your local machine. You would need to deputize the AI to log into your AWS (sorry, it would need to create your AWS account) and fully provision your cloud infrastructure.

This is satire / trolling for sure.

LLMs aren’t really at the point where they can spit out an entire program, including handling deployment, environments, etc. without human intervention.

If this person is ‘not technical’ they wouldn’t have been able to successfully deploy and interconnect all of the pieces needed.

The AI may have been able to spit out snippets, and those snippets may be very useful, but where it stands, it’s just not going to be able to, with no human supervision/overrides, write the software, stand up the DB, and deploy all of the services needed. With human guidance sure, but with out someone holding the AIs hand it just won’t happen (remember this person is ‘not technical’)

Most countries don’t have birthright citizenship.

I think a lot of people are in really deep from 2021/2022 car purchases and will lose their ass if they sell it.

I also think 99.999 percent of people will have next to no reaction seeing a model 3 or whatever on the road because they are common traffic.

My guess would be that people putting these badges on their car think it’s funny.

My work does first initial last name, which even internally results in tons of jsmith2@company.com.

I don’t really get why I can’t just choose from a list of accepted combinations or something.

Unity uses a managed language (c#) and can be decompiled (but not disassembled) into human readable code almost completely automatically.

I would agree if the features they did work on made sense.

How come every time I open Plex there is another social media integration, yet device downloads haven’t worked for literal years.

Plex itself is niche software, offering niche features is why Plex gained popularity, watch together is a great feature, I often use when I’m cleaning house so I can watch a show even as I move around rooms, same thing when cooking, which let’s the person in the kitchen watch while others may be in the living room.

A company taking excess revenue and reinvesting it isn’t profit.

There may be phrases with the word profit in them that include that value, but the general accepted definition is profit is the money that gets distributed to the stakeholders after expenses are covered. This is things like dividends for publicly traded companies, or for private companies, it’s just straight up paying out the cash to stakeholders.

So a service company that only pays salaries has 100% profit?

This is splitting hairs and if all the people arguing about this took an actual class in uni a out this they would know that.

Gross profit typically includes cost of goods sold, COGS doesn’t have an explicit legal definition, it’s up to the business to decide what they include, they can include employee salaries or not, this is called abortion costing, a business which puts salaries, rent utilities, etc, under abortion cost would have a gross profit equal to their net profit.

When dealing with accounting, you can call things whatever you want, net profit isn’t something that has a legal definition.

For example, I just decided that my business doesn’t follow your definition of profit, and instead defines profit as only money I find in my pockets. There isn’t a legal definition of how I need to define profit, so it’s just as valid as all the other definitions.

And regardless of all that, I don’t understand how anything you said proves me wrong. Profit is net profit, just the same as profit is gross profit, you can put an arbitrary boundary at any point in a financial metric and it makes sense to do so, but it doesn’t change what the word profit means. But the claims that ‘if you don’t profit you have to go in debt’ is just silly and only makes since if you cherry pick a very narrow definition of profit that is used as one part of a general financial metric for a business.

A company that has revenue - all expenses = 0 does not need to be in debt, this is also how a non profit will look, 1 million in revenue, 500k in general expenses, 500k reinvestment into the company final result 0 dollars left over. The effective meaning and understanding of profit for practical purposes and lay people (not book keepers within a company that needs more refined and specific metrics) is the amount of money that gets distributed to stakeholders after a company has covered its expenses.

Your block about non profits is exactly my point. A non profit does not pay out the left over money to stakeholders but people who work for a non profit still make money.
