Re: No more of a fantasy

The Register should create a new "Anonymous Coward" variant, something like "Mr Cheap Applause"

Re: “ the change will contribute $900 million to net income in Q1 of 2024 alone”

Two seconds at google and:

"Net income is what a business or individual makes after taxes, deductions, and other expenses are taken out, In business, net income is what a company has left after all expenses are subtracted, including taxes, wages, and the cost of goods."

Yes, indeed, how come they didn't name every single one of those 20,000?

Re: Right

If it makes you feel better BYD is planning to build two factories in Europe.

Re: Late stage capitalism

How long has capitalism been in its late stage? The seventies?

Re: Horses *did* protest

"Great, with AI we can get rid of a bunch of employees and save money"

and

"Perhaps with AI we can have people doing more interesting things, and take away a lot of the drudgery"

boil down to exactly the same thing.

Re: Insult to injury

It is, but then the company would have had to pay someone to remove the kit from the premises and recycle it proporly.

So he saved them money really.

Re: Cognitive dissonance

But then, if they showed adverts that fitted you perfectly you would complain about their surveillance, wouldn't you?

If 90% of the offer is crap, why bother with piracy?

Re: I just don't get this....

They don't pay any less than what she agreed to.

But of course, we all know women are nothing but damsels in distress who need to be rescued.

You really think that people in this site don't know how cookies work?

In any case, imdb is owned by Amazon, you can even log-in with your amazon account password.

Haven't you read the offer the studios made to the WGA?

They agreed to pretty much everything they asked for, including AI controls, except for the size of the writer's room.

They don't want to have fewer writers in the shows they have left, but they don't want to have to hire more of them either.

The reasoning made by the guild about getting more writers so they learn the business makes sense, but not at 11,000 dollars per week.

Re: Yeah, right!

Could that be what prompted the service mentioned in the last paragraph of the article?

"In May, EDB launched a so-called "risk free" Oracle migration service in which customers signing a two-year contract to run a 64-core instance of PostgreSQL would not start paying until the new system is up and running and has been tested"

Re: always a network issue

Like Reg readers, you know, the ones that submit an endless stream of 'Who me?' stories.

I remember being 15 years old and being amazed that I had used a ballpen until the ink ran out.

But maybe you could do that since you were three.

Re: Agree but...

Yeah, I never could take the ending of "The Stars my destination" seriously becouse of this.

"You cannot expect to buy someone's likeness, their soul if you will"

We used to laugh at people who thought that cameras would capture their souls, but politics come along, and suddenly, yes, that's exactly what they do.

Re: Fentanyl

Yeah, after all the article talks about people in the US buying it in bulk and making pills without a mention of where it had been originally produced.

But don't worry, nobody expects politicals nuts, of any persuation, to have any kind of contact with reality.

Enough people complained about that, so they want back to the old system.

I remember this every time I see a car in which all the buttons have been replaced by a touch screen.

Of course they were far right, they didn't want their property burned, that disagreement clearly show they were nothing but facists whose property deserved to be burned.

Oh, and I didn't mention who was responsible for burning anyhting, I was just explaining the real meaning of words, you see, I am sick and tired of seeing normies saying that political fans like you do nothing but lie.

Of course, you don't, definitions matter.

Re: Imagine

Train it do what?

What could possibly come out of it?

Re: Re-Write

If they did that it would take them, easily, 10 years just to be at the state LibreOffice is now, in the meantime current users would have to keep using the current version, they would just switch to something else.

Also, many bugs come from edge cases nobody would predict in advance, rewritting from scratch means reintroducing those bugs.

Refactoring old code may be hard, boring, thankless work, but it does work.

Re: Looks like MS have also optimised their cloud this morning

Absolutely, after all, who had ever heard of a Microsoft product failing before today?

Re: The problem with bad journalism

Ad networks have been telling content makers that writing clickbait about Musk brings in the big bucks, so they do..

Re: Just a thought

Twitter needed discrediting?

Re: Bit klunky, but...

Seriously, the elections have already happened, can we stop putting political shit into every fucking thread?

Re: F**k me. 12 years to *start* producing an EV....

Amazon already own about 20% of Rivian.

So very nice of you to think that at least some of them will have marketable skills.

You don't have a lot of respect for the working class, do you?

Re: Sniffed them out?

Yes, good points, after all saying "Their early performance was really bad", doesn't let us know if the performance was meeting expectations.

Re: Russian SMO

"whilst Ukraine is not allowed to attack inside Russia."

They haven't had much of a problem attacking military targets in Belgorod.

It is close to the frontier though.

Re: Why do people ignore facts?

Because, being a political fan you can't even admit you made a mistake with your math.

Political nuts will be nuts, and then whine about why nobody pays them any attention.

Re: Unknown problems

I guess you are on the spectrum, since your hardware can't detect sarcasm you have to keep in mind that it exists.

Re: Win 10 is good enough

A few months ago, we upgraded a CAD/CAM suite to the lastest version that requieres Win10, and I asked "Many computers are still in Win7, will it work?" and they answerd "sure, there is a workaround".

Yeah, except that after installing the programs in those computers, printing would stop working, first in one computer, then another, then another,...

And they didn't support Win7, so the only solution was to upgrade to Win10.

And so it will be with Win11, we may loath it all we want, we may say that not having a local account isn't acceptable, but we will have to bend the knee.

I may use Linux exclusively at home and have Linux servers at work, but that CAD/CAM suite is not going to be available for Linux any time soon, or ever really.

Re: Broadcom does do software

"The world as shown in 'A Handmaids Tale' is coming ever closer"

You were doing so well, why did you have to tell us you are a political nut?

Oh, yes, of course, because you are a political nut.

Re: the need to reassure investors

In Uber's case I think the technical term to describe them is 'rubes'

Re: Not Just Amazon

Same router IP?
