Not sure from jeweler perspective, they might be hard to put into jewelry.
But synthetic sapphire is relatively easy to produce, enough that it’s used for watch faces.

Sapphires are awesome and easy to produce

Ironically if you really want employees to be motivated by more than money, you need to pay even more.

Only people who don’t worry about money can afford to be motivated by other things.

It’s kinda hard to reuse datacenter hardware for home use. Many connectors are different, form factors too. Not to mention the noise, in servers noise is about the last priority.

Selfhosting enthusiasts will get great deals, but I doubt it will become mainstream.

Some will continue working just drop the compute price by a lot. Others will be mothballed for a while until someone can figure out how to run them profitably.

Expect a lot of new (or even resurrected old) use cases to pop up. For example I expect cloud gaming to make a huge comeback driven by cheaper prices. Us mortals won’t be able to afford our own GPUs for a while, but there will suddenly be a surplus of data center units for rent.

Depends on communities you join. Some do, especially on the .ml instance.

It takes a while of browsing around, joining and unjoning different coms before you find a good balance. Lemmy is a very disjointed place without a good search engine and multiple instances of the same thing. It’s what makes it good, but also frustrating sometimes.

We need to separate the feeling of driving from practicality. EVs are pleasant to drive for sure. Having to plan your trips around charging is annoying, there isn’t really much progress there.
The only reason I want a car is to do spontaneous trips to less populated areas. I already have range anxiety, I top up as soon as I’m below 1/3 of the tank. Batteries make it worse.

Write-only documentation.

At least you don’t have to print it, bind it and send it to archive any more.

“Several miles” is incorrect. Measuring on Google Earth says 500m, or 0.3 miles.
Still a fuckup but much less impressive

I’m even willing to make money for the shareholders, if I can travel the world, eat hella food and dress fly.
But noooo, the goal is to suffer for no reason at all.

The job I do exists more than ever, no recruiter believes me because the only thing they look for is if you had “AI” in the title of your previous job

Surprisingly not completely out of touch, companies suffering from middle management long predates AI.

Of course he falls into the same error as most corporate people assuming that people are born with skills rather than trained for them. Why not retrain that 20% into builders and sellers.

Did they try making it good?

What sucks even more is that Palantir are actually good at what they do. They delivered an IT project to a government agency without going insanely over budget, or failing completely. I hate it when bad guys are competent.

The 2 remaining devs using Copilot will leave it.
It’s rare to see such a clear example of first-mover disadvantage as GitHub Copilot.
