Their job title isn’t mathematician though.

This what’s happening in computer programming. The booming subfield is apparently slop cleaners.

Only if you want to run Windows on that model I guess. My kid has an E16 AMD and installed Fedora Linux from a USB no problem.

Sometimes you need to flush ten, fifteen times.

You’re right, it differs across cultures certainly. For a wedding of a presumably Asian cousin they don’t know in another city, that’s a tricky one. I guess OP might just be looking for an acceptable excuse but can’t find one.

No? It’s an invitation. I’d have been disappointed if people I’d invited turned it down, but it’s not rude to decline.

The biggest value I get from AI in this space is when I get handed a pile of spagehtti and ask for an initial overview.

True, I do feel mocked by this code.

Perhaps it would be better to focus on the insane shit he is doing and not the insane shit he is saying (which distracts from the doing).

That’s what I do, so yeah, very little use for Windows now.

This is one guy you don’t see palling about with Donald Trump.

Same, now I have Win 11 in a VM but when I boot it I just apply Windows updates so I am booting it much less frequently now.

As always, it depends. A certain amount of negativity can be healthy.

As mentioned in other comments, constant negativity is poison to relationships.

“Oh dear the facial scanning software is not good enough. I guess we’ll need to get government servers to authenticate your social media connections.”

Maaaaate, you must have a blind spot bigger than a Bunnings there

Or they get off that social media. We’ll see.

Hmm, I was going to go with Mexican and Chinese but French has now thrown me!

The truly sad part is that it’s still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They’re giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?

In the example there is 8GB installed and usage is normally under 4GB. You said “doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from more”. Unless you use that unused 4GB, installing additional RAM is not very useful.

So, to push the metaphor, if my keyboard and mouse fit fine on the 4GB half of the desk and the other 4GB is enough for the other things I want to do, then 8GB is enough and I won’t benefit from more. When 4GB is not enough, then more RAM makes sense.
