This isn't true. You usually do layoffs when you anticipate financial won't be good in coming quarters. If you wait until they aren't good then you're too late and the damage is do…

I don't disagree but one difference I see is Enterprises pushing hard to use AI where none of them really bothered with Crypto. I see momentum with AI that I haven't seen since the push to C…

A lot of times its for audit purposes. You have to show a mature documented program etc. Other times it's simply for reference purposes. So if you're talking about current enterprise archite…

You make a good point but it's also subjective. The documentation we need is all technical in nature so we aren't looking for Shakespeare or Tolkien here. We just need it to be accurate and …

You're not wrong, but we've had a huge shake up internally and all of the people that used to complain about not having it are now in a position to create it and approve it. They just don&#x…

> Here's the problem I have. No doubt an LLM made it faster to write those docs, but did you fully spot check it for accuracy? Yes. That was just the writing portion, there is a whole team tha…

The uncanny valley is happening with enterprise work. My boss is in love with Copilot writing documentation that we've sorely needed for many years. He and I can bang out tons of it in minutes th…

> There were no plans to build data centers in their small town and no reason to consider it at all You have to be fair on this though. The time to ban something is before they start talking about …

I can pull up all my passkeys in 1Password or Bitwarden without issue.

Passkeys are just SSH keys in how they work. We've been doing this since the 90's. The only people that use SSH keys are the Linux savvy users and those who are forced to via an enterprise s…

"Our model is so powerful it seduced all our wives. Now every woman in Silicon Valley is pregnant with AI babies and the machines are taking over" New opportunities for AI in the porn indust…

Are the Chinese models actually catching up or are they just distilling the frontiers? If it's all just distilling then they'll always be behind.

They should be, I see them as the prime targets for AI. Most of what they do is bullshit, they're often massively over paid, and AI will produce answers 100 times faster than they will.

I weep for the future

I'll just cite my 30 years in IT/InfoSec. Believe it or not, I really don't give a damn. It's common knowledge int he field regardless of what your experience is.

Punishable by fine just means it's legal for a cost. If the fine is less than the profit then they'll pay the fine every time.

Everyone lies on SOC2. Auditors don't understand the technologies and just take peoples word for it. It's a shit practice

Power generation is never the problem. Power transmission is.

They'll just spin some divisions off and/or sell the DC's they have to Anthropic or others at a profit. They could also just rent compute out at insane margins. They aren't going a…

This reads like a theatre announcement for a play. Whole sections on how they dressed. Are they planning a new "Pirates of Silicon Valley" like movie of this or what? How much of the AI bubb…

The Steam client for starters but pretty much every game they initially released since 1997 was extremely buggy. They also struggle very hard to even release much anymore. I'll give them kudos on…

I've been curious to see what happens with all of this. I think a lot of people have been caught in a perpetual upgrade cycle they probably didn't need to be in but were out of decades old h…

I generally find Valve's software quality subpar but their ethics to be vastly superior to anyone else's. For that reason they are the only place I'll even look for games anymore. They …

> It's also wrong and bad for work. Say's who? Why? I honestly don't get the problem. OpenAI just did what you said with the Mac app and were forced to roll it back because of the up…

I can believe it with startups as they are trying to keep costs down. Established Enterprise however, is a different story and is where the money is usually. If those startups become successful the st…

Fast. Cheap. Good. You can pick two of those, can never have all three.

Correct. That is one of the worst types of engineers too. Constant paralysis by analysis. It's why Agile became a thing because those people just refuse to ship anything until it's utterly p…

It’s not bad but the lack of secure notes kills it for me. Unusable without that as far as I’m concerned.

Different companies and leaders. Kagi Shareware shutdown in 2016 I think.

Salary is supposed to imply risk. The higher the responsibility the higher the risk the higher the reward. That’s another topic on its own.
