After a dense presentation about the undeniably impressive work Tesla is doing with AI, the company’s self-anointed Technoking, Elon Musk, capped the evening by bringing out a dancer in a spandex suit. Behold, said Musk: my Tesla Bot. I don't seem to get the punchline

The brain organoids developed optic structures that reacted to light, but they're not conscious. This always seems to work out for the best in the movies
This is how we end up with Intellect Devourers, people

They're growing politicians! (The operative phrase being brain-like.)

That would be a crime against Humanity.
Fortunately, there is no evidence that these brains are bribeable corruptocrats lacking any shred of integrity.
EDIT: I am an equal-opprtunity despiser of politicians. I despise all politicians of any nationality, party, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or any other category you may think of.

You are not alone. I feel the same way. Just this afternoon, SWMBO asked me "How can you tell the good ones from the bad ones?".
I patiently explained they are ALL Bad.

Another week, another story of technologists enduring a gauntlet of “crunch time” to finish a project. Only if by "crunch time" you mean "free chips (crisps) at the team meeting"
|
|
|
|

Experienced software developers are quite good at estimating small tasks, or estimating small subtasks in a larger task. The issue for a large project is that it's impossible to list all subtasks a priori.
No, "crunch time" is usually necessary because of "feature creep", which we are notoriously bad at resisting

Feature creep, combined with an immovable launch, true.
A certain company I used to work for liked launching at conferences. That usually lead to crunch time. I still think it’s generally a bad idea though, as that’s often the code that comes back to bite you first.

I still think it’s generally a bad idea though Not only software companies do that... Maybe not at conferences but I have had a lot of projects for different customers that had very rigid deadlines and kind of official "events" (SOP's)...
Specially when being abroad, that led to weeks with 80-110 worked hours. Followed with several days off to recover when back at home or getting ill.
Today I would say... screw you. If it is not ready for the deadline, next time don't be so arrogant, hear to our estimations and add a 10% to 15% buffer on top. If you have to book longer trips and pay more travel expenses... your problem.

Along with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.160, Microsoft today announced the release of official Windows 11 ISO images. In Search Of a solution?
Or at least justification for the "after the last version"?

Microsoft has many products and a vast amount of source code to compile and build. "I'd like to build a world a home, and furnish it with love"
"BuildXL and CloudBuild have allowed us to build codebases in minutes that previously took over 24 hours." And that's just compiling Teams.

I really have started to wonder how are the interviews for those HHRR jobs...
Because in some cases it is really a merit, to be able to speak so much actually saying nothing.
Do they train with politicians?
