  1. This should wash out. If companies invested in training, they could simply hire someone that was trained somewhere else.
    And then the differentiator would be institutional knowledge.

    Its crap all the way down thats for sure. I haven't had decent training in a decade. But I'm the type that goes an gets my own anyway.

    This is a great poiny most people fail to understand. AI is automation that is indistinguishable from a human. Not intelligence that thinks like a human

    Right now AI is seeing an explosion in its cognitive abilities mostly in the areas of natural language and data mining (long term memory). Mainly because our sensors are getting better and we finally have the general computing to handle the large datasets. As little as 20y ago were were developing processing,sensor and big data areas (we lacked datasets to feed the AI). Where do we go from there? there are at least three pillars of AI that require further development:

    Parallelism, natural language, and data. Or without buzzwords:

    Processing,communication,datagathering/retreival

    Its cheap calories in the form of junk food. Good food has gotten so expensive more and more people are sustaining themselves on huge amounts of junk calories as discount prices.

  9. I find this saved my solid private sector job. But of course some of my junior colleagues do not have it so well flexibility wise due to skills. If the they had better skills I'd certainly lose my leverage on flextime.

    We are all lucky to work for a company though that does not overly abuse us. Cost: you are a number and one day it will come.

  13. I am a Renegade expert. And I don't mean setup a BBS and called it a day, I have hacked the OVR (data file) 6 ways till sunday.

    What always amazed me about Regegade is how well coded it was. It allowed for us to extend a whole bunch of things by merely changing ANSI logic in the OVR.

    For instance Renegade was always limited to 5 line File_id.diz (filename desciption files) but was well enough architected that I was able to use ANSI escapes to exploit how it rendered the lines, and make it support an unlimited length of File_ID.diz

    There were a few "mod releases" to accomplish this, but none of them actually work and in fact went about it the wrong way. To my knowledge no one has ever accomplished this hack of the OVR except for me. The day I made it work in Renegade by Hex editing a file was my "neo moment", long before the Matrix was a thing. It also made me pretty leet in my circle.

    I worked with a fella like this when I was still pretty junior, who was a trainwreck, but played the IT game brilliantly. He brought positive influence to our team and taught me a lot in a short time. I do not idolize him but I respect him greatly.

    He also showed me I could do just about anything I set my mind to, including moving a 250lb drunk man to a better spot, after he fixed it.

  16. Ding dong on Oracle Scraps Plans For Solaris 12 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I've been administering since Solaris was a we babe.

    It used to be rock solid, but somewhere shortly after Java, it truly died and went in a direction of differentiating itself from the competition by layering trashpile over trashpile, over POSIX.

    Every time I get asked to fix or deal with a Solaris 10/11 server these days, I cringe and immediately start avoiding it. Mainly because basic tasks still aren't efficient, or even make sense in approach. It's like Oracle is determined to be stable, but different for no reason other than to sell the next version and call it an enhancement. Solaris has not seen a true enhancement since 9 and that was 10 years ago.
