This is my personal X these thoughts are my own.

@copyconstruct I've had conversations with the latter and the answer to every issue with AI is more AI with them - it'll either get better and be able to understand and explain what it built to them by then or it'll become so good it can just rewrite it for them as/when required.

@timoldland @flyingfox44 The number one thing that turned me off the current Tesla was that they got rid of the turn signal stalk (that I have 20 years of muscle memory for) and replaced them with buttons on the wheel. They gave gone way too far - not just climate but actual driving mechanics.

@GergelyOrosz I wonder if a new industry could be created here - trusted interview sites in each major city where the laptop and video conferencing equipment is vetted by the site and they check IDs. Make the interviewee go to there but the interviewer can still be remote? 🤔

@ibuildthecloud I take it this is also you rejecting the microservices patterns that justified it? When you one web app with one database sure. When you have 10-100 12-factor microservices and that comprise it you need K8s. I’ve been waiting for the “let’s put it all back togerher” swing back…

@GossiTheDog If they had that it would have turned this into a mild inconvenience for the businesses involved - if people picked that option (after instructions from their IT to do so) they'd have been back up and running and IT could have reinstalled CrowdStrike remotely to fix things...

@GossiTheDog The one thing I would say that Microsoft could do here would be to offer to unload a kernel driver if has crashed the machine ~3 times that day. You'd think keeping a count of how many times a particular one has crashed it today and a "Uninstall this?" dialog would be possible...

@ibuildthecloud multipass works well (if you are happy for the VMs to be Ubuntu)

@Australia_Today @ausstockchick Makes sense re: older Australians. If you don't have a mortgage and have savings with the bank then the increasing interest rates actually give you more money to spend rather than less. You add in the increase in the value of the house + any investments and many are doing well...

@PeterMcCormack Their team though…

@ranman @Hyatt I am going to be trying to check into one in a few hours so I hope not 🤞

@patio11 after waiting on hold hours get to a lady who tells me "oh, your foreign income is on a tab we'd never look at". She then says, get this, "I'll put a note on your account but can you contact Philadelphia and tell them to read it?" That was the same number but at 2am in SYD (2/2)

[Jason Umiker @JasonUmiker]

@patio11 I got a letter from them that they thought I owed them money due to a flawed data match around my RSUs. I wrote a letter and cleared that up - but then they thought I owed them AMT I don't (as all my income is foreign earned). So I called them and (1/2)

@buccocapital @absoluttig I guess the new narrative is that AI/ML will be "the next industrial revolution" or something. NVDA is certainly priced liked that is going to happen...

@levelsio I had them for a few years trying to convince myself I liked them. Then I went back to the new Bose QuietComfort and OMG they are soo much lighter and more comfortable - and the noise cancelling and audio quality seem close enough to not matter. It was a nigh and day improvement.

@inerati @mes4icon The government doing this for Americans (via Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac) was part of FDR's New Deal

@dhh As bad as it may sound to Linux people, I started using Homebrew on Ubuntu for that easier transition from the Mac - I already had all the scripts from my Mac days and I kind of hate snaps (which they seem intent on moving most things to from apt packages)

@LitMoose @summer__heidi Also known as Australians vs. Western Europe or East Coast Americans 😆

@ibuildthecloud I am not sure with CDN it is faster single pipes exactly - it is the willingness of a few providers to put thousands of cache servers into the private networks of each major internet provider around the world so the traffic stays local for everyone circumventing the bottlenecks.

[Jason Umiker @JasonUmiker]

@buccocapital And you can pay for several people documenting more things than ever before in the knowledge base you train on with all the money you save in the AI answering those questions instead of people too...
