- Comment on [RANT] Why is so much coverage of "AI" devoted to this belief that we've never had automation before (and that management even really wants it)? 3 days ago:
Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”
Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”
Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.
When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.

- Comment on When washing, should I turn garments inside out? 5 days ago:
I’ve been washing clothes for many decades and although I was also taught to turn some clothes inside out, I’ve never noticed any difference if I didn’t and these days I’ll often wash with them oriented normally, mainly because that’s how I prefer to hang them in the cupboard or fold them into drawers and turning them when wet or after taking them off the line or out of the drier makes the whole process even more tedious than it already is.

The shoes I’ve seen look like an orthopaedic horror story.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
As a fully functional adult, I’ve been eyeing off light up shoes for years. So far, all I’ve seen is gimmick shoes you wouldn’t wear for more than an hour, so I make do with fluorescent shoelaces instead.
This seems like fun, though I’m not sure if I’d be game to walk up a set of stairs on them, perhaps I’m not keen on breaking something when I’d invariably trip and fall.

It’s likely not about tennis, unless the CEO is a dick, it’s about an excuse to meet you and evaluate how you are as a human being.
Unless there’s a specific dress code requirement, I’d arrive in comfortable clothes, smart casual, clean and with a smile on my face.
When you’re asked about your lack of racket I’d point out that not only have you never played, you didn’t think it would be prudent to spend money on gear you know nothing about.
Remember, this is about people, not about hitting a tennis ball.

This whole thing was already played out on the TV series “The West Wing”, and I’m fairly sure that Aaron Sorkin got it from somewhere else.

Welcome to the community!
Among us you’ll discover an eclectic mix of humanity with a particular disposition towards the somewhat odd hobby of amateur radio, which we can’t help but discuss, sometimes even argue about, but don’t let that put you off!
Thank you for your kind words about my weekly contribution to the hobby, there’s plenty more to catch up on. I started this adventure in 2011, called it “What use is an F-call?” and renamed it after 200+ episodes to “Foundations of Amateur Radio”
It’s home is here: podcasts.vk6flab.com
Have fun and enjoy this exciting hobby! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Excellent example. I hadn’t even considered electronics coming from a software background.

At best it’s a way to see the world and experience new things, at worst it’s sex slavery.
I’d be extremely careful, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
