  • Remember when buying shoes came off as some kind of science. The shoe sales person was always considered right

  • Back in the early days of x-ray technology some shoe stores would x-ray customers’ feet to make sure the shoes fit right

  • When I was in college I worked a data entry job at an investment advisor firm. One of the financial planners had #8 as their setup.

  • In the US credit cards are the most common, which typically charge the merchants a 3-5% processing fee, so I’ve seen more and more places offering a discount for paying with cash.

  • Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee

  • Yeah, my wife’s new Hyundai came with it. I still have to keep my hands on the steering wheel but it is actually nice to have. I don’t use it in heavy traffic but if traffic is light on a highway it is actually kind of helpful on long road trips reducing some of the mental fatigue. Chevrolet offers hands-off on many of their vehicles now and I think it’s about a $3,000 upgrade. It sounded like a lot until Tesla said $8,000 for theirs, and Tesla’s is dumb enough to drive through a wall painted to look like the road, like a Roadrunner cartoon.

  • I told Radar that we're going to get a lot of snow and he had a crisis.

  • No work if we lose electricity! My area’s looking like we’re going to be mostly ice. Hoping that’s more sleet than freezing rain!

  • You can now use Debian without Linux

    Jump

  • From the article:

    Debian GNU/kFreeBSD used the Debian userland on top of the FreeBSD kernel, although sadly, due to lack of manpower the project ended in 2023. There was a similar effort using the kernel from the slightly older BSD, Debian GNU/NetBSD. Multiple others have been suggested, including ports to the kernels of OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, IBM's OS/2 kernel and others.

  • Endangered tigers celebrate first birthday with pile of boxes

    Jump

  • I was at a wildlife preserve/zoo in Quebec and in the nursery they sometimes have interactions with the animals. That time they had a baby Siberian tiger. She was basically a kitten the size of a housecat. My wife kept giving her belly rubs. I asked the keeper if people with cat allergies have the same reaction to tigers and she said yes; she actually dealt with that herself and would take allergy medicine when working with the tigers.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI

  • I’m unsure if his response is more on the policing language side or more on the advisory, watch out, if you’re going to work for a government agency that is funded by politicians there’s a certain expectation for public decorum that has to be maintained so some congressman looking to score points doesn’t use you as a reason to cut funding. My guess, given he tried to help reinstate the internship, is that it was the latter.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI

    Jump

  • If that was their concern they’d be advising less AI investment, but reading the article they’re pushing for industry to do more investment, that only major investment and adoption shows benefits.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • Despite the CEOs' repsonses, PwC concludes more investment is required. It claims that "isolated, tactical AI projects" often don't deliver measurable value, and that tangible returns instead come from enterprise-wide deployments consistent with business strategy.

    However, pilot projects are by their very nature typically small scale and isolated in order to demonstrate the viability of a concept before risking an enterprise-wide rollout. Is PwC advising clients not to worry if an AI pilot project fails, and push ahead with a large-scale deployment anyway?

    The report then goes on to explain that scaling up demands "strong AI foundations," including a technology environment that enables AI integration; a clearly defined roadmap for AI initiatives; formalized risk processes; and "an organizational culture that enables AI adoption." So if your AI projects fail, you clearly just don't believe enough.
