It boggles my mind that people honestly think things would be worse if Harris won.

Pretty much everything that is worse because of decisions that Trump made.

In the book "Simply Scheme", map is "every", filter is "keep", and reduce is "accumulate".

Lately I have seem some Reddit posts with bullet points. I know it's a Power Point cliche, but that style almost never showed up on Reddit until about a year ago. I think a lot of those posts are AI-generated.

For a while I worked on defects for a web app at a large corporation. Users would submit walls of text, with a lot of unneeded details. A lot of people need help organizing their thoughts.

So why is the headquarters in Charlotte, genius?

A lot of things can happen between 1928 and 1999.

NationsBank also "took the Bank of America name".

Actually it does not have roots in Bank of Italy.

In 2000, NationsBank in Charlotte bought Bank of America. They used the BofA name, but the NB people ran things. Hugh McColl had been the CEO of NB for years, and he was CEO of BofA for a year. The next CEO, Ken Lewis, was also from NB. I worked for BofA in Chicago from 2001 to 2009. I talked to people in Charlotte all the time. I almost never talked to people in California.

Now that I think about it, I dealt with people in a lot of regions of the US, but almost nobody on the West Coast.

Yes.

I am tired of my time in tech being just using MS products that all depend on each other.

> AI companies are panicking and gaslighting us about what their newest models can actually do

I think they have been gaslighting us from the beginning.

>> No one has ever made a purchasing decision based on how good your code is.

> absolutely false.

Actually, you are both correct.

Nobody makes a purchasing decision based on code quality.

But they may later regret a purchasing decision based on code quality.

> Ugh, you are not entitled to get to know me.

If your comment is at all indicative of how you are in real life, I really don't think you have to worry about people wanting to get to know you.

Companies are spending billions so they can say the dog ate their homework.
