It is the ecconomy, stupid. I realize junior engineers have never before had a recession affect them so this seems new and eifferent to them. However as a senior I’ve seen several and every single time there are articles about how this time is difierent and the jobs are never coming back. I also know it sucks to be someone who is affected, but in a few years this will be a memory.

not that ai changes nothing, but thingsialways change. The world recovers and moves on.

You can appeal - but appeals are rarely agreed to. An appeal isn’t about the facts in most cases - it is about was the law correctly applied and if so is the law constitutional.

That is a question I’n trying to answer. Until I know what ai can do I can’t have a valid opinion.

That can help - but ai reviews still miss a lot of bad code. Still a first pass - if the ai finds something it is rarely wrong - so fix things the ai finds before you bother others, or justify why the ai is wrong. But if all you do is an ai review of ai code you get garbage

I’m writing code because it is often faster than explaining to the ai how to do it. I’m spending this month seeing what ai can do - it ranges from saving me a lot of tedious effort to making a large mess to clean up

I’ve been writting a lot of code with ai - for every half hour the ai needs to write the code I need a full week to revise it into good code. If you don’t do that hard work the ai is going to overwhelm the reviewers with garbage

I find ai can turn out code fast - but then I spend a week or more turning it into good code and so the time saved isn’t near as much. I’d be embarressd to call it my own and as a professional can’t allow garbage-

I’m blind without my glasses. I’ve thought about surgery but I’m wear ansi safety glasses anyway - I know what it is like to go to the bathroom without my glasses - that is okay in the middle of the night - but I have no interest in my whole life being like that so I’m protecting my eyes as best I can.

You are not wrong - but the point is there is value here, are just not getting it to the right people.

All spying needs to be owned by the person who owns the car. GM or however might have data, but it needs to not be accessible by them except by my agreement. Do I want my dealer to know when I need an oil change - maybe (depends on if I trust my dealer), or maybe I want my independent mechanic to know this, or maybe I change my own oil and want only me to know.

There are useful things about internet connections and phone home. Maybe not for you, but for many.

For company vehicles when the car is due for an oil change the mechanics should be informed not the driver. Likewise the company should be able to track where their cars are and when they are driving (and restrict them from driving outside of their territory). For things like snow plows the company needs to track where they have plowed already.

When it is cold it is nice to tell the car to start warming up 5 minutes before you get into it. For electric cars that are currently plugged in this is important as it lets you spend grid energy to warm up the car instead of range.

It is also useful to have up to date maps on the car - there are things a built in system can do that android auto / apple carplay cannot do. Though you have to drive a lot for this to be worth it. (My car as GM’s onstar and no android auto - I don’t pay for it, but I could see in a 10 minute test drive how onstar is better if you are driving the car for hours every day - since I mostly work from home or bike it isn’t worth it, but I can see how it is better despite not being better)

But there needs to be a non-charge option for things like remote start.

Arms and legs allowed in are still really bad. You can’t run fast in snow, and you are more likely to trip.

Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

that depends on the pilot. it doesn’t apply to bold pilots. There are bold pilots and old pilots - but no old and bold pilots.

In practice that is zero - you are not allowed to take off unless you have enough fuel to fly for an hour after landing. flying is safe in large part because of hard learned rules like this.

That is out of date. Someone should look up the law in Iowa that just went into effect and update it. I’m too lazy to look up the required details.

I had a few cousins who took and finished all my grandma’s unfinished quilts. They were already into quilting though. YMMV, but it is a good example - if there is someone who can understand/take this over give it to them.

If they show me the pictures of my friends, while hiding all the garbage (outrage politics, “you won’t believe this”…) so I spend about 2 minutes a day there and get off it would greatly increase productivity. Well it would lower mine because I almost never check facebook anymore - but my life would be enhanced if they limited themselves to the useful things they do and let me go in 2 minutes: a trade off that would be worth it.

There are a few things facebook is better at than anything in my life - checking up on distant friends that I wouldn’t call normally but I want to know the big events in their life; ensuring my parent see pictures of my kids (we don’t live in the same state). However those things only need a couple minutes of my time per day, and that isn’t enough to make them a big company and so they keep shoving garbage that doesn’t make my life better in my face. That garbage takes up hours per day of many people’s time and is worth a lot to facebook.

A good boss won’t have problems with that - they are always looking for their next position anyway and having a replacement ready to go is good - if you can’t be replaced you can’t be promoted. A good boss will help your get involved with the politics needed to be good at this. A good boss will put your name up for leads in a different department where there is an opening that you wouldn’t even know about.

Note that I said good boss above. Not all bosses are good.
