When I used to work for a bookseller, it seemed our collection existed in order to hoard books. I remember items such as Worms (C. Darwin) and old cricket almanacs (inexplicably popular). Much of my time was spent hauling very heavy boxes of books around on a sack barrow. We had a constant objective of getting rid of books. Sometimes thieves would help us out by removing the ones with higher prices, but that hardly made any difference, and the number of books only increased until the owner's death. I don't know what happened after that, but I imagine they were mostly thrown away. That's how it goes. But this loss is a sad thing. I made some money in wages, but I the owner told me he generally lost money most of time, supporting the project with his other job. It was because he liked books.
Unfortunately, the tech industry never rewarded 10x developers and denied they existed because it flew in the face of their now decades long wage suppression onslaught.
In fact if you are that good, you are more likely to face resentment and intimidation than receive praise.
At the current AI moment you may get some points for tokenmaxxing but it wont last long. I wouldnt worry about 100X, corporate shops cant even keep up with 10x devs, 100x will be just you building shelfware that will never see the light of day and wont get you a raise anyway.
I see a lot of peers worried when there are claims about how _other_ people are performing in other companies/projects, and how we "need to catch up". In the article I try to convey that 10x (let alone 100x) were just figures of speech. They have been adopted by the industry. The original meaning is lost. And some now believe are _real_ multipliers.
This post is a reminder of that, to be able to chill a little bit :)
"Your device of choice" is not a solution. Your device of choice is still "spying on you" per the definitions provided here.
They have microphones and listen to conversations while transcribing the words to listen for "wake words". THey are in fact always awake, and transcribing the words they hear.
They all send telemetry and usage data and they all scan for devices in your home and SSIDs.
The only difference is that you think you can trust these devices vs the TVs which use ACR.
That may be true. But remember to location track all they need is your wifis SSID and your IP. Opt out is good, most users by design have a hard time turning this stuff off. My wife has had many difficulties trying to turn off Siri and keep it off for years.
I logged in to my macs for a few years using Yubikey. I did eventually abandon it though out of fear of Apple screwing it up with an upgrade which Im sure was founded. Dont use macs anymore. I think my main beef with yubikey is really is it doesnt have enough space for enough keys. But I use it for many things.
Anyone who buys this is going to shoulder so much liability I would be surprised any ins company would cover it.
Classic Tesla.
