If internal reviewers are brave enough to point out flaws with this huge amount of pressure, it must be a really bad mess. Or they actually have some engineers left that found a backbone and are unwilling to be responsible for hundreds of people killed, no matter what management wants.
What is the issue with init-scripts? I read up on them for like half an hour, and since then I have written the ones I needed and changed others. Never any problems.
I would not go with "never", but we certainly have absolutely nothing at this time and there is absolutely no indicator that we will ever have anything based on digital computers.
Because AI has no I. It cannot outsmart anything. Hence "stopping it outsmarting xyz" is not possible because it is not doing it in the first place.
Please stop with that AI nonsense. We have statistical classifiers, pattern matchers, etc., but we do not have artificial intelligence, insight, understanding, and we are unlikely to get it anytime in the next 50 years may never get it.
That said, many people rarely use what they have in natural intelligence, and go instead with feelings, or conformity or what other people tell them. These people are always outsmarted by anybody.
I believe it is. It just does not mean the same thing as anybody sane would expect;-)
The whole thing is one thing: Poettering thinking he should be Linus. Sadly, he is not even remotely in the same class regarding insight and skill. Violating KISS is a beginner's mistake.
Hmm. So you are saying this may have been a lot more sneaky and long-term than was apparent? You may have a point. Got some references to these effects, I would like to have a look. (I am not criticizing or "citation-needed"-ing.)
They should remove systemd! End the slavery to the misbegotten creation of some misanthropic nil-whits and do things yourself again. Feel the power of your mind at work!
Indeed. Gender studies seems to teach nothing of use and seems to be a "modern" feminist replacement for the traditional "home economics" studies were the primary purpose was to allow women to find a husband with academic education. They seem to have replaced that with the opposite in the "modern" variant, making it even less useful as the traditional one.
Clearance is basically worthless. Anybody planted will get a clearance, the effort in planting them is just higher. Anybody else, they will just screen out the more competent and enterprising people, and hence decrease the skill on the position targeted with no security advantages whatsoever.
The number coincides with the about 10-15% of independent thinkers. These will always be in demand, because they can deal with non-standard situations. The rest can be automated away.
Unfortunately that is a fact. However these people will need access to money and meaningful things to do as well or society collapses. An UBI is a small part in that. Countries that are too far behind here will not survive theses changes.
To anybody with two brain cells this is obvious. The MBA morons are (as usual) slow on the uptake, but the only coders that have good prospects longer-term are those with talent and good education. This is an _engineering_ job, not something anybody has a chance to be good at. As soon as the statistics of how hugely expensive the average coder is compared to a good coder become generally accepted, there will not be any jobs left for low-skill coders (about 90% of them today). Educating even more people in something they can only ever acquire marginal skills in is pure folly.
Well, doing work that is worthless is pretty soul-destroying if you are smart enough to see that. As to bureaucrats, every one of those you send home at full wagers is a huge gain in efficiency. These people destroy, nothing else.
There is no magic recipes and no powerful people that can do _anything_ effective here. The jobs are going away because machines are getting cheaper at it than humans and the results are better. There is no way to turn back that wheel without a collapse of civilization. (To be fair, the human race is hard at work to arrange for that...) These jobs go away because even an average capable person is astonishingly incompetent and mostly unable to learn. All the things you see in progress and actual productivity come from a tiny faction of the human race, maybe 20% or so. (This is mostly the number of STEM graduates. Some manual laborers will continue to be needed as well, usually at the high end, like welders, and the low end, like cleaners.) The rest are just administrators, distributors, sellers, self-promoters, etc. The thing is that the search for ever larger profits does expose that. And hence the jobs vanish.
That worked so well in China, where they do not have little things like human rights or real elections to stand in the way. As to attrition: That only works in special circumstances. In the west, it will take society with it.

Bullshit. We routinely have months of uptime and so do many of our customers. Oh, of course, I know what your issue is! We do not do "toy" computing.

That is the best kind of satire!
Well, there are issues where smart people get into heated debates and then there are issues where things are obvious to any smart person ;-)
It is not "trained" in any sane sense of the word. What happens is that its parameters are set based on a reference data set.

Are you sure about that? I smell FAKE NEWS!

But the numbers very clearly say what a large number of users think. If Windows was a democracy, the win10 party would _not_ win.
Exactly.

It is actually hilarious. Shows nicely what kind of people work for the TLAs and that they do not deserve any level of trust.

You seem to be unaware what an "implication" is and mistake if for an "equivalence". You just failed CS 101.

And value can become massively negative. Just look at the value to society of the average CEO or president.
