Union Thug, and nerd.

I used to work at Google and they let a small group of us try to help save the world. Not sure how we managed that.

Now I have a job that also lets me help people.

I'm a dad and I'm a fan of being a dad. A+ would recommend it.

Also, we need to ban golf and bulldoze all golf courses.

And join your union.

Also shut up I know am old and cranky

Fatality!

Dell's share price dropping off a cliff from $160 to $140, or $113B to $99B in market cap

Toni Sacconaghi wiped out $10bn of market cap from $DELL with this question on AI profitability "Yes if I just look year over year at the ISO business, storage was perfectly flat. AI servers went from 0 to $1.7 billion, which sort of suggests that traditional servers were flat. So the only thing that changed was you added $1.7 billion in AI servers, and operating profit was flat. So does that suggest that operating margins for AI servers were effectively 0? And if that's not the case, how do square the circle with what I just outlined?"

    Things I want from a kettle: make water hot.
    Things I do not want from a kettle: an engaging interactive experience.

    Speaking as someone who was the father of a new born having to do the every 4 hour trip to the kitchen to boil the kettle and prepare formula, drop the previous bottle into boiling water, repeat. I had a system worked out. If the kettle had tried to offer my sleep addled brain witty bromides, well that kettle would be an ex fucking kettle and I'd be staring at the microwave going "you wanna start something, or will you just heat water and shut up?"

    If I wanted to have a conversation with my home appliances, I would buy a fucking Furby. No one wants to have to deal with "the fridge can't get an Internet connection". It's a box that makes things cold.

    Kettle: make water hot
    Fridge: make things cold
    Toaster: make bread hot
    Oven: make many things hot
    Dishwasher: make things clean
    Lights: makes things visible
    Rice Cooker: make rice hot and damp

    None of these should require a fucking internet connection, generative (not actually) AI, or a fucking app.

    The extremely annoying thing about the "AI" (not AI) is that scammers/SEO fucks will use it to shit out vast amount of garbage.

    @paninid @jonathantrott it's not "AI". It just isn't. It's autocomplete with a horrid carbon footprint
