If they have data, that they’ve looked at, then fucking publish the data. It’s such a weasel statement to say “we’ve looked at the data”. Well, if it stands up to inspection, publish it!

I worked for Microsoft for 12 years. Now I’m in a fully remote business and I’ve got better relationships and stronger results being fully remote than we ever did in person.

The amount of connectors I’ve sat on in Microsoft. Ugh.

Because whatever Microsoft does makes the news. It’ll be leaked anyway even if they tried to keep it internal. They might as well get on the front foot and publish it. Besides, it sends a signal that their intentions can withstand the light of inspection.

I’m not really sure if your comment is a reaction against my statement, in support of my statement ir adding further nuance to my statement.

I certainly believe AI is capable of producing value. I certainly believe AI will take people’s jobs. Exactly because it is able to produce value.

I’ve seen both things first thing, many times, already.

My statement was meant to highlight that it is exactly because it is producing value and taking people’s jobs that we ought to have a debate about whether it should and who it will benefit (and who will lose out) from that great replacement.

Right now, all I see is a further concentration of wealth built on the backs of thousands of years of human creativity. It’s the ultimate rent seeking.

Yes, which is why we’ve broadly accepted that ASCII isn’t sufficient any more.

After all.. Why not?

Why shouldn’t I ignore the 100+ cultures whose character set couldn’t fit into this encoding?

How dare you use facts to challenge our beliefs!!

Let’s see the tip of the band please!

~~If it’s the same loosy-goosy metal catch that’s sort of dangles on a rivet, you’re always going to be 2-3 mm wrong regardless of the precision of the tape itself.~~

Edit: I now know that didnt know how to use a measuring tape and I feel enlightened, relieved and somewhat embarrassed - thanks all for helping learn something new.

This sounds correct.

I’ve cycled and walked in London for the last 10+ years. These silent and deadly speeders are super dangerous. I’ve seen several crashes on their account. As a cyclist, they overtake you a great speed; as a pedestrian they can be much closer much quicker than expected forcing you to misjudge if you can cross.

Yes they are dangerous. I can’t believe you need to have this explained to you.

Also the article literally gives you a clear cut case of exactly the danger of a pedestrian misjudging timings on account of their crazy speed - ended up dying. But it’s all just a joke to you of course.

First thing I do to a tv is flick it into a colour graded mode and flick all motion smoothing off.
