As someone that works in robotics/automation, it pains me to see people in creative/office verticals getting all the shit with AI these days while hard labor positions, the one that everyone could be doing a bit less because they take a toll on you (working the fields, farms, hazardous tasks) remain pretty much the same.

I wonder if there is push in the public sector for open source software/hardware for cases like this.

I completely get the decisions over time here, but it's unsettling having a relevant piece of software (reports are important too!) working on with parts from ebay, in 50 years time they might be gone.

The agents might have hacked whatever entity, the attacks are means to an end from the agents perspective, but they did so under the supposedly supervision of an engineer, where does the liability lie?

LLMs are cool tech, AI can do amazing stuff, but if we let companies and people run amok and whenever something goes wrong we put the blame on these little independent angels with no accountability, we are one disaster away from a very tough spot.

Known stochastic process behaved in non-deterministic way.

I'm still waiting for the AGI holy land instead of the caltrops factory we currently have.

It is a somewhat newish feature, I think pre-2020 models don't have dark mode, afaik (and I have no idea how are old devices supported on kindle, I assume launch and forget, could be wrong though).

What a random way to find out a stand up comedian I see now and then share a craft!

Nice! Had a burnout, a kidney stone and was laid off before even hitting 25! Sounds about right.

As someone completely removed from the Pearl ecosystem, I thought this might be an Open Core something from Roku after the recent acquisition news.

Twitter had been around for a long time and could very well be considered feature complete and run with a skeleton crew.

They don't own any mission critical software and in the days it went down after Elon started pulling the plugs, the only thing that changed was the people going to reddit to complain about stability.

I would say that in general dynamic type languages are problematic in a large codebase without strict safeguards (Any everywhere, untested paths, lack of test coverage, large methods with different return scopes, etc.).

I've worked a long time in C++ land in large codebases and the issues there are different, but to undig a project from the spaguetti land is like pulling teeth.

The team got greenlight to more tokens and the problem should be fixed soon. Fingers crossed. /s

Only reinforces the point that relying on american infrastructure as a critical piece of your stack, in 2026, is a liability.

It's 100% a HMI and moving costs to the other end of supply chain.

We can have optimized automation in warehouses/logistics, but if you talk to any site manager you learn very quickly that no one wants any downtime or impact to their operation to introduce new machinery or optimize traffic, etc. If it is not built with that from the start it's very hard to introduce it later on unless there is a very clear deployment path and cost structure.

And boy, robotics currently has any of those today. Sure, move those billions in to R&D. Time will tell.

Layoffs in EU happen all the same, they are just sprinkled throughout the fiscal year to avoid legal disputes due to the number of people let go.
