Reddit refuge
Yeah, but the scale of the current set of data centers has gotten to a point where they are becoming a problem for the communities they inhabit. If data centers stayed at the consumption levels they did decades ago, I don’t think we’d be seeing organized political action against them.
Given that cameras are readily available to the public, these glasses will likely only be banned in specific controlled locations.
Gatorade never had vitamins, even in its original formulation. It was flavored water with salt to help athletes with electrolyte depletion.
Also, Gatorade is owned by Pepsi. Maybe you’re thinking of Powerade, which was crap.
And Meta probably have Luxotica a large sack of cash to make these glasses.
I’m not surprised. Google wants people to use this and making customizable bands available near cost is a good way to push adoption.
In general, the Wikimedia Foundation needs some reform. This strike feels like the mod strike when Reddit removed API access.
The hiring is done mostly by professors, who are usually highly competent in their field.
But being competent in your field doesn’t make you a good manager or leader. The problem is that you have valuable technical experts with poor leadership abilities put into power. If there is an HR problem, the institution is usually incentivized to defend the expert and their atrocious behavior over junior staff.
And it doesn’t end up being a problem for academia if researchers leave the toxic workplace because spots are desirable and there isn’t an issue replacing those who leave.
Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.
JD did kill the last pope.
There is a little more to it than that.
A barrier has to start somewhere. The blunt end is considered a hazard for cars if it is too close to the lane, called the clear zone. That blunt end is considered very dangerous and either needs to be located out of the clear zone or have expensive and large crash cushions protecting the blunt end.
It is going to be very difficult finding a civil engineer who will approve installing a blunt end right next to an active travel lane. That makes it useless if you’re trying to protect a bike lane next to traffic.
This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.
This is a law issue.
There’s nowhere to expand to.
There is a question of timeline. Maybe in 10+ years, but not 2.
The early wave of layoffs in the sector “due to AI” were at the same time as the interest rate went up, pushing all tech companies to start focusing on profit. A lot of unprofitable divisions were cut because it stopped making financial sense to invest in products that didn’t have day 1 revenue.
You’re now seeing companies doing layoffs and claiming AI to either hide that development in their companies have stalled or they are taking advantage of their new shiny remote work platforms to push wages down by shifting workers to places with lower cost of living.
AI labor isn’t worth its tokens, even when they are heavily discounted to gain market share. It might be in a decade, but not now.
Yeah, but while China wants to state that their a global leader, a lot of their foreign policy is based on selling internationally the industrial output they overbuilt.
I feel like that’s because the concept of software architecture isn’t really taught and understood industry wide; it is like getting a journeyman carpenter to design an addition to a building but they don’t understand how the original structure was built so they recommend to tear the original building down and start from scratch.
It is made worse as programmers have a vested interest in maintaining a construction once maintenance mindset since construction requires more labor then maintenance.
Yeah, but you have other nations claiming to have the rights for some international leadership who aren’t doing anything either. Why aren’t China or the EU stepping in to help?
It is horrible that the USA isn’t helping, but a lot of other nations also aren’t helping.
Google destroys its products all the time. This isn’t new.
Well, what else would those engineers work on? Most of Meta’s product lines are either stable or dead. If they weren’t going to AI, they would just be going away.
And that was the end of the wave for invite started social media.
It isn’t that surprising. Humans have gotten very good at raising chickens in the past 60 years.
