Lol. You can look it up, but this will kill you in two days if untreated. Most Americans go without treatments for more than 48 hours because they dread the potential medical bill.
The difference is one is providing an essential need while the other is generating memes or making billionaire richer
Re:Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" on Monday October 05, 2026 @09:37PM (#49973097)
I don't find myself getting more work done... I'm getting more help when I get stuck, but a lot of times AI just creates a bigger mess before it solves a problem.

Texas sure does a lot of treading for being the don't tread on me capital
Kind of like "history is written by the victors"
Turns out it's possible to build something without a glorified next-character search engine afterall
These are uneducated folks that don't even understand technology surveillance

I'd rather engineers invent practical work than product make broken promises for things they don't understand.

Shoulder surgery was the best thing I ever did. I regretted wasting a year seeking opinions for what ended up being a minor fix. No more pain

If the providers can't find a way to nickel and dime us to death they will no longer provide the service
The number of datacenters needing to come online doesn't add up to me. It's suspicious

Re:Toyota is finally taking its best-seller electric on Thursday September 24, 2026 @01:20AM (#49826560)
The hybrid already gets 55mpg and the batteries are dirt cheap.
A whole bunch of fluff without any evidence to back it up.

That would require AI to be accurate
The problem is you must use Dell hardware. Sure it makes being hypervisor agnostic much easier, but you then become locked into a single hardware vendor that has you by the balls every 3 years when hardware refresh comes along. We've switched between HP and SMC several times when Dell has tried to extort us.
No I work for a 100 year old Fortune 50 with 50,000 VMs.
Proxmox is good for a home lab but running an enterprise on it is a joke. Good luck with that
Agent based requires an insane amount of privileged accounts and I would say fails for 10%+ of the VM population
Try doing that to 3,000 production VMs.
Dell private cloud lock in would be the death of any company. You don't want to be isolated to one hardware vendor. We've told Dell to kick rocks many times for renewals and would not be able to do that if we were in their Cloud, which requires Dell hardware.

Don't do it

Proxmox is amateur hour. No enterprise support
I'm in the middle of a massive Azure Local migration and noticed the VDDK was no longer available... Kinda funny because I was just telling a coworker how surprised I was that they offered it. Thankfully I saved off my copy but I have no idea how Microsoft is going to handle this going forward with Azure Migrate. Same issue with SUSE I believe
Re:The jobs apocalypse is postponed. An AI jobs boom is here on Monday September 07, 2026 @03:19PM (#49601930)
Skilled trade still isn't paying either.
Nonsense. Renting servers is the easiest way to bankrupt your company. Look at all the capacity shortages going on right now. Price will continue to outpace bare metal and controls will get tighter.

Not to mention there are many scenarios where cloud connectivity is not an option.
