I didn’t take the image to be showing a macbook, it could just as easily be my computer or probably many others.

I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.
As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.
You’re right, doesn’t sound great. In the example they shared, sounds like the issue wasn’t that the car couldn’t drive around the fire truck, but that it couldn’t break a programming rule about crossing into a lane that would normally be opposing traffic. Once given the “ok” to follow such a route, the car handled it on its own, the human doesn’t actually drive it.
I could imagine a scenario where you need one human operator for every two vehicles. That’s still reducing labor by 50%.
Obviously they want it to be better than that, they want it to be one operator per ten vehicles or no operator at all.
And the fundamental problem with these systems is they will be owned by big corporations, and any gained efficiency will be consumed by the corporation, not enjoyed by the worker or passed on to the customer.
But I think there’s true value to be found there. Imagine a transportation cooperative - we’re a thousand households, we don’t all need our own car, but we need a car sometimes. We pool our resources and have a small fleet that minimizes our cost and environmental impact, and potentially drives more safely than human drivers.
Seems like a company that initially differentiated itself by hyping 3D printing, and once they realized that won’t work they’ve got to pivot without spooking everyone.
Every business’s biggest expense is labor. Skilled labor costs more. The people in charge like it when you save money.
I think it’s wrong. But only because the interests of the people who own the machines and businesses diverge from the worker’s interests. I’d like to see more worker cooperatives. If the workers own the machines, then it’s good when things are automated.
I also don’t believe anything will ever be truly automated, or that it’s a good idea to try.
All that to say we don’t have to resort to an explanation of “managers must hate engineers” to understand why they would want to eliminate positions.
I don’t think it’s just managers saying hey we could automate such and such a thing away. It’s human nature to think “how could I improve this” which almost immediately leads to “if I get this right it could mean no work at all”
Isn’t the question here why shouldn’t friends not let friends use CSV?
Sounds like a poem by someone who doesn’t usually work very hard
You absolutely want a keyboard when programming, but you can get one that works with the ipad. As someone else suggested the software environment is probably more the limiting factor.
Interesting read, thanks. State and national boundaries seem very difficult to change.
Lol well sorry the joke didn’t go over, but thanks for contributing.
After reading the alt text and googling I’m still baffled. The actual google trends show no spike in interest, so I guess OP is saying they wish Slackware was back on people’s radar, and maybe the Slackware maintainer could do that using a stunt name change.
I forget the name of the subreddit but it’s called like “schizo cars” and there are a ton of examples like this. They seem to be mostly people with mental issues.
I’m impressed the people of Tulsa put aside their differences to issue this joint statement
Hi, I understand you used to be the head warlock?
Have a bolt EUV and love it. No issues with the seat personally. Does seem like I can spin the tires easy if I’m not paying attention. But on the whole it’s fun to drive and cost effective to own.
I don’t like the data collection and subscription features bullshit either.
Saying they’re worthless is not at all true though. I bought a used Bolt and I love it. Much better pickup than my old gas car and cheaper to own.
I interpreted it to be added because the last time this was posted (without “citation needed”) someone in the comments pointed out that in real life, the woman on this air pistol team actually performed worse than the man and affected their final score.
Not sure the point is really conveyed without knowing that context. But also I don’t think the original was that good either.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something about different types of wigs that make them hotter than just having natural hair. That said, I’m not sure we have people with subject matter experience in the thread here.
Like this thread over at the wigs subreddit is already talking about terms I’m not familiar with, so that seems like a promising place to start.
I’m on lemmy because I disagree with the ownership direction at Reddit but they have an enviable user base in terms of size and diversity.
