Pause Point flips that idea on its head, as it interrupts the app’s launch — and the dopamine flood that follows — to force you to stop and rethink whether this is what you actually want to do, or is just a habit you’d like to break.

Actually sounds useful.

Seems to be making a lot out of “you send your user agent and screen resolution”.

Wait, there’s no breakdown by manufacturer / battery generation? This doesn’t seem like news.

On the upside, waiting for those cheap cheap secondhand GPUs?

A paid, non working, in-the-press employee body is more of a drain on business than an absent one, I bet.

We need a lot more of them to join https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/ .

The biggest action I know of was the Women’s walkout in 2018, about 20k employees. But, no persistent action and no escalation, so no real result.

Reporting in Iraq, if others didn’t know.

Whoops, misread that as “hard.”

Maybe enough that corporate types will find it compelling?

The core problem was not simply the technology itself. It was the organizational inability to integrate AI into real workflows, learn from deployment and distinguish between a demo that worked and a system that delivered.

Yeah, it has that phrasing sometimes.

No one had the cultural standing to say this looks great, and we are not putting it into production.

Can someone in your organization look at a slick prototype and say “no” without career risk? If the answer is no, vibe coding becomes a one-way ratchet.

This is definitely the feeling at my company. “How fast is AI letting you ship” is the only question management & executive are asking.

the resulting ambiguity will be filled by whoever moves fastest, which is rarely whoever should be deciding.

There’s capitalism!

And if it’s like a lot of security scans, most of the results are technically correct, but, within the context of the project, not something anyone’s going to take the time to fix.

“This will convince everyone I’m a good guy for sure!” ?

Impressive marketing spin on “our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure.”

Nuts, undermines the picture I had of them based on abolishing their army.

I was very excited about open firmware and ran FreshTomato for a while. Eventually I decided it wasn’t reliable though (2.4Ghz wasn’t actually running on one router, occasional speed issues).

I switched to Unify and have had a great experience. Great visibility into link speed, which device is on which AP, able to SSH into each device and run iperf3, WiFiMan is a great debugging tool (which you don’t need their ecosystem to try), notifies me when the ISP is slow/down. There’s a bewildering array of hardware and it’s not cheap or always in stock, but there are some good guides around.

So, I’d like FOSS to be the right answer, but in this case I’m glad I switched to Unifi.

ETA: https://evanmccann.net/ubiquiti is the most useful guide. And a key aspect is Ubiquiti is the cloud services are an optional aspect, it won’t brick if they go under.

Leaders said there was a “robust process” to ensure the contracts align with Google’s AI principles.

Ah, I think you’ve identified their “robust process” and what the key “principles” are.

Yeah, got headhunted for 10 replace-doctors-with-AI startup for every 1 ed-tech company that even looked at my resume, and the company I’m at now, though good on paper, is squeezing AI into every nook and cranny as fast as they can while sidelining security concerns.

I clearly need to up my adblock game. But do y’all also use PeerTube, Nebula, Curiosity Stream? Happy to vote with dollars if there’s a good candidate.

Hadn’t heard “precaritized” either. Brings to mind some penultimate additions to pillow forts, though.
