In this economy? I’m sure its worth it but $70 is $70.

Cloud based solutions in selfhosted are a hilarious suggestion.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 4 weeks ago:
I would suggest avoiding anything that is a “community” or “personal use only”. If its not fully open its not worth it.

“Aint nothing but a heartache” “Tell me why” spastic crying
- Comment on Lawsuit claims discrimination by Workday’s hiring tech prevented people over 40 from getting hired 4 weeks ago:
Its workday. Its a miracle if it works anytime of day. This is not surprising.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 4 weeks ago:
In my experience the outfits target schools to exploit the children’s relationship and free labor with family. We are talking incredibly low quality junk you cannot find at stores or really even online.
At my school the goal was to sell like $1000 worth a crap to get a limo ride to a local restaurant.
6,7,8 year old etc do not have a value of wealth. “Oh daddy/mommy/grandpa, I really really want the limo ride” etc.
There’s no legitimate reason for such a thing to exist other than pure exploitation. After experiencing that I would demand to opt out for my children.
- Comment on CFPB withdraws proposed rule that would have prevented data brokers from selling or misusing consumers’ sensitive personal data 5 weeks ago:
Too much money in the long end of the stick.
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 5 weeks ago:
Funniest thing about Tesla was the idea they’d make evs more economical and realible after starting in the luxury space. They did exactly the opposite and now shareholders are paying dearly.
- Comment on Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available? 1 month ago:
100% you don’t have to train a thing ollama uses open availability models. They many are decent, the best use a lot of ram/vram.
- Comment on Data centers will look ridiculous with tiny future servers. 1 month ago:
They tend to fill the space. I mean if you drive by a modern data center, so much grid electrical equipment is just right there. Now if hypothetically supermachine uses all that power sure, small data center. Unless they have a nuclear reactor they should (fu felon musk) only rely on grid/solar/renewables.

Its always funny, regardless of nationality.

That too, waste of money when their prime goal is the island next door.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 month ago:
No, it turns out that lying to the consumer about old tech is profitable.

It has a ramp. Lol.
- Comment on Kansas wants to use AI to spot guns in schools. One major company won’t say how often the system fails 1 month ago:
If its >50% (that is it is just randomly works) I wouldn’t want to announce that I am ripping off the government either.

- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 1 month ago:
Thanks for the input.
In my opinion, this is definitely copium on uber’s part. Taking on far more debt to try to be a public utility level of too big to fail is laughable. There is always an end stage they need to sell that is bigger and better.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 1 month ago:
Hilariously unprofitable. They even came up with creative accounting to show how, despite never being profitable they may turn a profit if you don’t count their debts and losses.
- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners 2 months ago:
Great point!
- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners 2 months ago:
TLDR: the marketing lies about full self driving are problematic given the computers of the last few gens are only marginally more capable then a toaster. Some lawsuits have made Tesla pay up, many more might.
Opinion: do not let your car kill you. Do not use full self driving.

This is the one tech company I would have laughed at if they said American labor is too expensive.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 months ago:
I’ve noticed the same thing, including on stuff that should be spell checked like news articles. Its not even rare. I’ve also noticed my phone (current android) it has been making it nearly impossible to overrule errant spelling even if it is not correctly changing it.
Overall I believe its entirely the lack of proof reading. Please god I proof read this let it contain no errors.
