$1400…a month? A year? Total?

That’s what they’re doing https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-elon-musk-killed-hundreds-of-thousands-of-people

That may be, I’m just unsure on the cost differential. Feels like an underground line would be more expensive, but IDK.

I think the Gondola is still on the table. Honestly it’s a great idea, Union station is very close as the crow flies, just walking from it right now is a nightmare because of the freeway in the way.

Yeah I think Lenny’s generic take is heavily colored by the absolute morons using it moronically. That’s a large number of people because lots of people are…well, morons. But you can definitely use it in productive ways. Keeping a human in the loop right now I think is very prudent, for cost and reliability reasons, but man does it decrease drudgery in capable hands.

They’re AI (actual indians)

Hmmm yes I’m feeling particularly philosophical while playing this one

Guys, I have an announcement: I read the article

Some who voted against the bill worried about an amendment to the original proposal that, in limited circumstances, will allow utilities to allocate portions of the infrastructure costs across the broader system, rather than charging only the data center, if the upgrades also benefit other customers or improve or replace existing infrastructure.

So yeah, it’s bullshit

Where’s Pete?

I mean it’s already happened. Original sources on the web have died out tremendously over the past couple years because no one is being driven to random peoples’ webpages by search engines anymore. Try to use any search engine, even non-AI ones, to find new bits of info that isn’t AI slop is very difficult because it just isn’t there anymore. Why make the effort if no one is going to find it?

Yeah and even though the Steam Deck seems as good as a handheld can be, my phone/iPad stream games with a lot less heat and noise. If you have a gaming rig already it seems like the logical choice to stream.

There are plenty of rails, they’re just different ones. Like criticizing dear leader or Tiananmen square.

Plot twist: question 14 has nothing to do with question 8

“For cause” at my company is gross malfeasance, not merely performing well below expectations. It’s the employer again putting themselves first: problematic employees are “harder” to get rid of than the status quo of letting them stick around indefinitely. Sucks for everyone else who has to work with them. Every company should cull a small number of people every year.

I actually think a few % a year is healthy (1% feels right to me). I work at a company where we never lay anyone off and it’s led to a bunch of deadweight in the company that make work harder for everyone else. You gotta have some mechanism to let low performers go.

10% is way too high though
