They might be undervolting and underclocking the GPUs to improve longevity?

You would have to buy said USB device and get it to your location. Switching WiFi is only easy if you mean on a single machine/gateway. Swapping the WiFi network equipment in an office is considerably more involved, depending on the desired configuration.

MicroPython is primarily for embedddd devices with on the order of 1 MB of RAM and FLASH. And applications which makes sense with such constraints. If you have hundreds of MB of RAM, better to just use CPython.

They also are rather expensive to maintain, because the leading ledge gets many repeated stresses. And in nordic climates like Sweden there is a snow plow in the winter to remove snow - those occasionally snag on the speed bump - which tends to chip of big chunk, triggering rapid wear.

This is likely. His concern is first and foremost the company. Geopolitics is primarily a potential tool in that capacity.

Companies tend to lie towards their employees in similar ways as to the public. Very often most if the organization ends up believing the lies. The few people that do not tend to keep shut or go elsewhere.

Thanks a lot for your transparency Jeff! Much needed in this area. And your content is quality, much unlike what else being discussed here.

It is really hard to actually make anything substantial on social media exposure. Unfortunately this does not stop many from exaggerating claims in order to (maybe become) be internet famous, or seeing high number of clicks etc. So it is both bad business for creators, and poisoning the discourse for readers - the only real winners are the social media companies and the product companies that get hyped up.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately in another context -- vira priests being anti-vax and realized it's the other way around: their motivation doesn't matter, but the viewers don't want to see moderate content, they want to see highly polarized and controversial topics.

The same with the claims about AI. Nobody wants to hear AI boosts productivity in nuanced way, people either want to hear about 10X or -10X so the market dictates the content/meme.

What exactly does it say, in your opinion? I can imagine 4-5 different takes on that post.

Why not merged to main? What is the definition of done being applied here?

The code is stable and partially tested. Needs a lot more testing before committing it to main. This is mainly because the primary ORM adapter for MySQL has been rewritten, and a lot of apps use it.

I think in 2026 the automation will reach the testing, closing the loop. At that point, no humans in the loop will make software development extremely fast.

The VAT part does work like that, taxable where the goods are being sold.
