Do you mind telling what procedure you got? I know multiple people that had lens replacement surgery for cataracts and are very happy with their vision. But that is just a couple of stories.
AI slop everywhere on social is terrible; I grant you that.
But AI tool in the hands of professionals that care about what they produce is becoming revolutionary. We are doing things we would never have done. Projects I never would have even started I am doing with new enthusiasm. I and the people I work with are using agents to learn new topics so fast. AI makes mistakes all the time, I found myself getting gaslit last week that refreshing my auth token would update my permissions (authentication and authorization are not the same thing)
If you are just looking at the output in images and garbage posts. Yes it is an abomination that must be stopped. But I cannot imagine a world without it now. And for the better.
Further, Public Sans was developed by the US govt under the first Trump administration and appears to be an excellent font. That seems to be a wise choice against TNR or Calibri on multiple angles.
Exactly, for the narrowly defined condition of running k8s on digital ocean with a managed control plane compared to Hetzner bare metal:
AWS and DigitalOcean = $559.36 monthly or Hetzner = $132.96 The cost of an engineer to set up and maintain a bare metal k8s cluster is going to far exceed the roughly $400 monthly savings.
If you run things yourself and can invest sweat equity, this makes some sense. But for any company with a payroll this does not math out.
Is the exploitation further expecting that the evil link will pe presented as a part of chat response and then clicked to exfiltrate the data in the path or querystring?
I built a chicken coop, mostly as a hobby, and the eggs were a bonus.
the 1,000 in materials for the structure and 25 bucks a month in food and bedding make that amortization table go out a couple of decades before you see ROI.
I joke that they are the most expensive organic eggs you can buy. ;)
In my field of IT consulting I find the opposite to be true. Developing a shared understanding of client challenges, getting leaders to make and follow through on decisions, and learning our way around customer ecosystems takes forever over Teams, slack, or email.
If we knew exactly what needed to be done and were just cranking code I see how solitude works. But the constant streams of low bandwidth meetings to make decisions is brutal.
My view has always been that buying gives me price stability. $1000 in mortgage + taxes + fees is only going to change by a hike in taxes but rent changes at the whim of the market.
Here in my west coast city, the mortgage on a 4 bedroom house purchased 10 years ago is the same as a 2 bedroom apartment today.
I disagree on T&M. Billing by the hour penalizes those that have developed the patterns and skills to go faster. Fixed price is the only way to be better than the other firm and have that lead to an advantage on your bottom line.
A support desk/ticketing or sales pipeline service feels like the way to go here. Zendesk is a good low cost ticketing/support and Hubspot is marketing/sales. You could set it up so emails go through the service so you have the full history of the conversation in a single easy to read thread.
You could then attach an SOW contract to the ticket and update the contract as the client’s needs evolve.
And for that matter, I did my fucking around working low stakes jobs in packing warehouses and going to house parties. Goofing off does not require 1%er priveledge.
Proof of Post Malone is his covid concert in his house where he and the band played all Nirvana covers. he and his band are 100% legit rock players. I wonder why thay make so much shallow pop usually.
