I don't know how to tell younger people (if you are going the legal route) that we live in a worse that is notably worse than broadcast + cable in many ways.

Every other show is on a different streaming service, which has no incentive to keep it around for more than two seasons unless it's a blockbuster. Oh and content will get vaulted for no good reason.

The irony will be that after all the fearmongering about China winning the AI arms race, it'll be good ol' Chinese manufacturing and IP theft that allows them to win and vanquish America as a threat.

>Does Nvidia have a couple hundred semi trucks, contractors, and IT technicians, to repo the hardware and resell it to someone else before it's lost most of its value?

Via logistics contracts, yes.

I would also add: at profit-taking pricing

"how is this happening in the USA"

The simplest answer I can give is not enough lessons were learned from the Gilded Age, but with the twist of this technology and the associated financials being a complete mystery to the average person.

I was just thinking about this as I just started using Overpass QL to help a friend with a project.

It's better than performance art, it's something you couldn't write.

The same people who still pay for cable and get roped into spending half an hour watching an infomercial at 4am.

Part of this is baked into the experience though, if "ads" here are trailers for upcoming films. I don't know if theaters are now showing ads for products, I haven't been in forever.

Taxation isn't theft but poor fiscal policy is larceny.

I've been in multiple car accidents this year, none of them my fault. Commuting might actually be the death of me, I can't express to a future employer how much I'm willing to trade just to not have to do it anymore. Doesn't help that I deal with some of the worst traffic in America...

If people wanted to listen to Cassandras, or more broadly, people who don't have the power to make or stop changes but are voicing consent or considerations -- they would far more often, as that is very easy to do.

Corporate culture is especially nearly designed to never give Cassandras the time of day.

Why wouldn't people just write the agent off as 'broken'? Would this agent learn to keep most of it's responses to itself or end up actually broken/drifting as a result of having good advice ignored?

If you draw then woodcase pencils are far easier to configure into different strokes, widths, tip lengths etc

Privacy nightmare + worse UX than a phone or sitting at your desk? Dead on arrival. Not a fan of Alexa but at least it can change what you're currently viewing on your Fire stick.

Fishing videos are one of the best usecases I've seen for them, but people generally go fishing alone or with close friends/family so it's a much different scenario than being a glasshole in public.

People already disable the recording light and the problem is so pervasive Amazon has "banned" the blocking stickers.

Roaming around the apartment complex I grew up, in with friends and a link cable meeting new kids and trading Pokemon were some of the best times of my life.

I'm still a Pokemon fan to this day. I play Go all the time, collect cards when they're not obscene to acquire, and I'll probably buy a Switch 2 when they come out with the upgrade to immerse myself in the online aspect of modern Pokemon games. Fantastic franchise.

If my heat stops working then my heat starts working.

Consider yourself blessed, the one place in my neighborhood where I get one bar on LTE is the same place I once was repairing my car. Awful experience but the rest of the subdivision is fine.

People have been using "off the market" since before the internet was born.

> There's no objection, but it doesn't work because men compete while women collude.

It's funny because many people, even some women would say you have the genders flipped here

The Paul Graham advice of "build things you and your friends would use" alongside Python -- which was my first language, getting back to coding for the first time since 9th grade -- is basically the carrot I've offered to a few people wanting to get into coding.

I'm lucky in the sense that what got me back into coding was a very specific set of personal needs that drove me mad in the best way with passion. I'm not a technical wizard, but coding and growing over the last few years has to count for something.

I needed this 3 days ago before I approached a mental breakdown, haha.

Yes, but I've never been an employed programmer -- I lost my job over a year ago, and basically, because I still have the chance to upskill and live with my parents, I've used the last year to work part-time and flesh out some projects and become more employable overall.

I'll be starting a job next month, because at this point I probably gotta get back on the hamster wheel and work into some professional progress, but I'm hoping this is my last non-programming job. The last 13 months have absolutely been worth the price of admission.

This took me back to a very fun time in my life.

I believe this is part of the problem/perception -- Indian immigration via policies like H-1B and whatever Canada does disproportionately offers people from a handful of Indian states (and the highest castes) the chance to be North American tech workers. Even if you say "well, the Indian tech industry is centered on a few states" it in essence is the same problem or perceived problem.

Specific to North America, most people actually like the idea of someone coming from halfway around the world to try to be a citizen of their nation. They do not exactly like the idea of being "carpetbagged" or being "flooded with people who do not integrate" and those perceptions exist not wholly out of imagination.

Try repeating this to a developer out of work right now.

No expert on this, but in my estimation the nature of the law and process makes it hard to sue unless you're a one-to-one match with the job posting or invented part of the tech stack being used. Companies across various industries pass up on qualified people every day.
