My credit got tanked years ago for a $95 doctor visit bill I was disputing that got sent to collections. Took me years to repair my credit. I spent most of my twenties with credit well below 600 and unable to get even small increases to my credit.

I hope this goes through and others don't have to deal with this kind of crap (or worse) because of the mess that is credit reporting.

It depends. Many vegans see any product that "exploits" animals as nonvegan. That includes things like down feathers, wool and honey.

Wow, this is bleak.

I read somewhere (I think the deloitte tech survey from a few years ago) that many people have replaced their pc with smartphones and use their phone as their primary tech device. Would be interesting to see if any of these low-level skill folks are actually high (or higher) on mobile skills.

I look forward to Apple Marketing coming up with their usual line of nonsense, like a meaningless name for an existing capability that they are claiming to have invented.

Nice! I got it right after the latest version came out but that's been a while. They do sales pretty regularly though. It's definitely not as massive as Adobe wrt features, but they cover the essentials well.

Guys, seriously. The entire Affinity Suite is $150. Paid for updates through the current version. It's solid.

Dump Adobe.

Holy shit what a ride that was.

It's clear from a lot of stories like this (severe customer mistreatment) that United employees are miserable people who hate their jobs but this is nuts. I hope Dr. Dao got a huge settlement from United.

I don't have much direct experience working in agile since I tend to work on the business side but I can tell you that the term agile is WAY overused. So many projects are described as agile when they are just waterfall with more steps. Leaders love to say they are working in agile because it sounds 'techy' and cool, but I don't think they fully appreciate what it is vs other methods. I wonder if a lot of the failed projects described in the article are some of those agile in name only kind of things.

The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There's a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.

My thinking is that it reads like the author is dismissing the whole notion that AI has risks and that the folks raising concerns were just repeating an overblown doomsday narrative.

That's what I thought and I expected to see a lot of promoting for the shiny new things and dismissing safety efforts as dampening innovation.

The title of this article is misleading. It's actually a nice summary in how AI firms have conveniently forgotten their own warnings and predictions of the dangers of AI now that they no longer need to use that messaging in making pitches to investors.

No, not dell. Always a bummer to learn other places doing this too though. Every time I see a company is pushing hard on the RTO stuff they just get crossed of my job search list.

Yeah agreed. I never quite understood FDRs thinking on putting an even number of people in the court. We have so many 5-4 decisions now an even court would be chaos.

He should pull an FDR and try to get the court expanded to 12.

Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I'm going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn't working and offer to go remote or leave.

I saw that too. Does that mean Masino made the 5 pt plan, announced it and then bounced to Taco Bell?

Or is this just shitty writing and lazy editing?

Took a job recently after being unemployed for a while. Three days in the office, but only 15 minute commute. Nobody from my team in the city, and nobody I will ever need to work with works in this office. I have almost nothing to do so I've been filling my days doing training on our products. My floor has probably 100 or so cubes with about 20-25 people on on any given day on the whole floor. I sit in a wing of a building with 4 cubes and mine's the only one in use. I go pretty much the whole day without seeing or speaking to another individual.

At least when I worked from home I had my dogs to keep me company. Now i just get in, counting the minutes until I hit 8 hours and leave asap. I'm seriously considering resigning because I'm going nuts.

RTO sucks.

T mobiles service has been degrading since they acquired Sprint. I imagine this will only make it worse.

Yeah, but the non-tech savvy business leaders see they can generate code with AI and think 'why do I need a developer if I have this AI?' and have no idea whether the code it produces is right or not. This stat should be shared broadly so leaders don't overestimate the capability and fire people they will desperately need.

Thr problem the AI tools are going to have is that they will have tons of things like this that they won't catch and be able to fix. Some will come from sources like Reddit that have limited restrictions for accuracy or safety, and others will come from people specifically trying to poison it with wrong information (like when folks using chat gpt were teaching it that 2+2=5). Fixing only the ones that get media attention is a losing battle. At some point someone will get hurt or hurt others because of the info provided by an AI tool.
