Yup, I asked it how long an azure subscription had existed and it could not even tell me that. Literally now() minus the object’s creation date and it had no idea what to do.
Exactly, half of a system exists as code but the other half exists as a mental model in the minds of the devs. With AI the former will, now much more quickly, outrun or deviate from the latter and then the problems of long-term reliability, maintainability and confidence in validation and delivery are just beginning.
This is why I do not use any google apps and deleted my google anccount. Their shitty software pisses me off.
Every time I try to use it, the UI elements shift around as I try an action as simple as activating a search box. But it is just laggy enough that you click on something a second time, since it apparently didn’t activate the first time. But by then it’s shifted everything around and you are either cancelling what you were doing, or you are taken off into some new workflow you didn’t want.
The absolute WORST is when you focus the search box and it shifts to the top of the screen. With lag, you click on the search box again, but now where it was is a list of completion suggestions and you are taken off to some search result page you never asked for.
It’s fucking infuriating and I won’t entertain it.
Nope, they were in control, spent 4 years focusing most of their attention on things the voting public found various degrees of stupid, then put up two successive candidates in ‘24 that were absolute jokes. The voters decided that the Democrats weren’t serious and sent them a message: “Even this obviously-corrupt buffoon is better than the arrogant elitist that you put up. Do better or be prepared for irrelevance.”
Personally I’m no fan of 90% of the GOP agenda, but my fondest wish is complete dissolution of the DNC, and another party taking over as the party of the non-rich to restore some balance.
Right! The dems are stuck doing the responsible boring and non eye catching thing.
Economists, policy makers etc. increasingly have to make the dems carry the weight, in a political and media market which moves so fast that facts can’t even matter.
In this situation, is it a surprise that they could deal with Covid, undo 2008, end nafta, or any number of great things, but still lose faith of the populace because they didn’t hit the populist taking points?
It now very much feels like an era of talking points, and damn the facts.
In which case either making the talking points stick, or change the talking points.
I have quantum fiber and am using a Dynalink WRX36 running OpenWrt. Needed the vlan 201 configuration but works well.
OpenWrt is pretty amazing, my router downloads torrents, blocks ads, runs a VPN client (enabled per-device) for watching geo-blocked streaming, serves content from a USB drive to my TV, among other things.
