Is it the fact that you don't want to spend the time cooking? or is it cooking plus shopping plus cleaning up after?
Or is it counting the time to take cooking lessons? and including the cost of taking the bus to those cooking lessons?
Does the private chef even use your house, or their own kitchen? Or can you get a smaller house without a kitchen alltogether? Especially at the rate of kitchen improvement, where kitchens don't last 20 years anymore, you're gonna need a new kitchen every 5 years. (granted the analogy is starting to fail here, but you get my point)
Big companies have been terrible at managing costs and attributing value. At least with cloud the costs are somewhat clear. Also, finding staff that is skilled is a considerable expense for businesses with a more than a few pieces of code, and takes time, you can't just get them on a whim and get rid of them.
You actually can't fault llama either, as a standalone product. However it's still in Zuck Paradise
OpenAI copilot, not microsoft copilot, actually looks like a stronger product and they're going full force after the enterprise market as we speak. We're setting a demo in motion with them next month to give it a go.
We'll have to wait for the first one to crack Powerpoint, that'll be the gamechanger.
The UI has in fact, evolved, but it has never changed. For example, higher DPI screen sizes, the UI is now instrumented in a web browser, no longer the the old TUI. It is fast, it is familiar, it's the same, but it evolves, if that makes sense.
If you know how to use it in company A in decade 1980, you know how to use it in company B today. That doesn't mean it hasn't improved or improved ergonomics.
It's a beautiful piece of engineering that got the basics right. Power users add whatever they need to it, modular, but it's not like Vim or VSCode where you are basically useless without a large effort when moving into a blank new updated version, let alone things like the ribbon design vs the old design in office.
I guess it's Microsoft slowly making it cater to their enterprise clients
I have never had sudo on a work managed device, but always had a phone number to call for exactly these types of issues. Explain the problem, point them to the fix. They look it up internally, call me back half an hour later, take over the machine and perform the procedure.
Is it frictionless? No. Is it impossible? No, just part of dealing with corporate IT.
On our laptops, there are still some flows that avoid the vpn etc..
I did not start doing this because of security, but just to get something more or less self managed without any possibility to break different projects. I am tired of my team spending too much time on extensions, versions, packages, ...
Docker compose files have saved our team many hours, even if it's extremely wasteful to have multiple vscode instances running alongside each other
I mean, its a lot more expensive than Postgres for very very little benefit. Like what exactly is the value proposition? Is it saving developer time? faster? I guess none of those
This is one of those cases where I think it's not one creates the other. But I assume they have a strong feedback mechanism. It's the combination that makes it a lot stronger. 2 + 2 = 5 in such cases
They're all Django applications, and the limited dynamic elements are just simple jquery. We have some bootstrap stuff and elements like form elements in javascript, but that's about it.
We are extremely productive, especially compared to our official apps which follow the .NET/Angular stack, that run into all kinds of API versioning issues and errors, it's not even a faster user experience. The problem with such a stack is that you need a few highly skilled architects/system designers. We just have regular programmers piecing it all together, most of them learned these frameworks on the job and come from a regular app dev background, not web.
Granted, we only serve something like 20-30 concurrent users for each of tthe Django apps (as in, page requests/second), but still...
You cannot compare python with a onxx executor.
I don't know what you used in Python, but if it's pytorch or similar, those are built with flexibility in mind, for optimal performance you want to export those to onxx and use whatever executor that is optimized for your env. onxxruntime is one of them, but definitely not the only one, and given it's from Microsoft, some prefer to avoid it and choose among the many free alternatives.
However, I am also very confident next year they'll just release a V3 and we'll have to buy it again of course, but no worries we'll get a discount as previous owner!
Some people would buy boats, private planes, art, ... I would hire a team to replicate my child neighbourhood perfectly in a gran turismo or preferably GTA 5 engine lol. You'd get pretty far with a million USD in the modding community
Then I started to buy waterproof phones, and my life was noticeably better. those still die from water damage, just slower. Every time you drop the phone and the case pops off, the water protection gets a bit worse, and after a year or so, the rubber gets hard, especially in winter, and its no longer waterproof. I wouldn't dare to put it in actual water.
Now I have had my smartphone for many years, and I had the previous one for many years. So yes please, glue it together, glue it shut, at least if you're serious about water damage and dust ingress
Modern standby is making my laptop unpredictable, and that is very inconvenient for me
I have mine running through EVCC.io, setting it up was as simple as throwing that thing in a docker container and figuring out the IP address of the chargepoint.
Tools like collibra, purview, informatica, ... that know you database, are your best tools at enterprise level.
You are an acceptable costume. Face it. But context matters. The reading kid is not singled out, nobody is making this negative. It could also be perceived as a celebration 'hey I want to be like my adopted asian sister, she is cool'.
Live and let live, and give context if the kid is asking questions. But don't censor because you feel like a special snowflake
Today, the price difference is negligible on most hardware (smaller than $50 on MSRP on an iPhone if you compare New York to Paris for example)
If you are big enough, you setup your own terms and conditions and negotiate a master agreement. I work for a rather large insurer, and we can use azure openai, nvidia workbench and gemini
Homo economicus would try get as much as possible for himself, or have others bear the cost (e.g. have society pay for roads but don't want to pay taxes).
They would not lower the quality of service for someone else out of spite without any gain for themselves, let alone waste time on it. They would also understand this would rise the cost of the service they might potentially want to use in the future.
Only narcissists would feel the desire to fuck up a service out of spite and ruin it for anyone else, just because they feel bad for not agreeing to the deal of having to pay
It's the classic mistake: you setup a separate 'startup style' company to move fast, but give them too much budget and too much rules, so they just spend the budget on rebuilding the same mess instead of innovation. It's a consultant heaven to make a lot of money, but in the end this really only works if the group company stays in the dark for a considerable amount of time and doesn't impose their ideas
Yes you can buy teams separate from office now, but MS is still clearly abusing their market dominance to force teams upon you (same about onedrive to be fair)
It's free per user, but it's quite expensive if you start adding meeting rooms, voip, webinar, ...
Zoom+slack are literally cheaper in total, but the startup cost is very visible and teams startup cost is 0.
