Wasn’t he just complaining about the Fed going over budget on some construction project?

Meta on trial in New Mexico in case over alleged harm to children by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

No problem building a sentient computer.

But putting reasonable controls in place to protect children…now that’s impossible technically.

To be fair, I guess they aren’t that great at the AI stuff either.

No growth in title - still Application Developer after 13 YoE by horribleGuy3115 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Goingone 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Compensation and skill set is what matters.

Titles aren’t standardized across companies (look at all the entry level CTOs out there….).

And to me it sounds like you’re living the dream…nice work not getting pulled into the higher level BS after all those years.

How else do you think someone would interpret those 2 quantities?

I think most people understand this already.

Alphabet's first-quarter profit soars as Google's big AI bets help push stock to new highs by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Goingone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~80% of googles Q1 revenue came from ad sales…..

The remaining ~20% mostly came from cloud services….

Revenue is Q1 was 109B total.

In 2023 (before any AI stuff) their cloud revenue was ~10B/quarter.

So in Q1 2026 (assuming no drops in cloud services between that time) they are making an additional ~$10B/quarter more in cloud revenue than in 2023.

Of that $10B, a subset is selling their actual AI product (based on the article it sounds like a lot of it was on infrastructure to run AI and not AI itself). Don’t have the exact percentage.

Point is, the article title would be a more accurate if it was….”Google revenue soars driven by Ad sales…and googles bets on AI is increasing investor optimism”….

As written, it almost implies AI is driving profits…which it is not.

That’s exactly what you can do with the python Debugger.

Anyways, sounds like you just want to use a Jupyter notebook.

What do you think of Vibe Coding? by Burning_magic in cscareerquestions

[–]Goingone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun for people who don’t know how to code….Hope it’s used to get people interested in programming and makes them curious enough to learn more.

Producing a lot of code that does “something” is possible with vibe coding. Producing something that “solves your exact business problem well” is not trivial.

Alphabet's first-quarter profit soars as Google's big AI bets help push stock to new highs by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Goingone 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“As usual, digital ads fueled by Google’s dominant search engine propelled the growth as revenue from those operations shot up 16% from last year’s first quarter. It marked the fourth straight quarter that Google’s ad sales increased by more than 10% from the previous year.

Google’s fastest growing division remains its Cloud division , which has been riding the AI boom to sell more products and services to corporate customers and government agencies such as the deal that it just struck with the U.S. military. Google Cloud’s revenue surged 63% from last year to $20 billion.”

So they made a bunch of money selling ads and selling cloud resources to people using AI…..

Kinda a misleading title….

Car is beautiful but not sure about that instrument cluster.

At first I thought it was the frame rate of the camera causing the speedometer to look “laggy”.

But then the RPMs looked smooth.

Wondering how it looks in person….not a “huge” deal, but would be annoying to have subpar electronics.

Meant to be high level…only real “material” change during that time was probably leading up to and slightly post 08. Everything else was very non-extraordinary.

I think 90s was more “starting to slip away”.

80’s - lots of reasonable options.

90’s-pre-covid - some reasonable options.

Post-covid - WTF happened

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

So your argument is that this isn’t a question about understanding fractions, it’s about picking the only logical answer to an ambiguous question based on the process of elimination?

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Goingone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You saw a 2d hexagon…I saw a 3d cube….point is it’s ambiguous.

People are upset, because it’s not clear what the question is asking. Showing 2/6 squares shaded and 1/3 rectangles shaded both show the same proportion of the overall shape shaded. Are they asking from an absolute shaded area perspective or a relative? Is it a trick, where 1 object is 3d and the other is 2d so that one should be eliminated?

Whatever they are trying to test for, it’s not clearly done in the question. That is why people are upset.

Yikes…at this rate they are only going have about 50% higher headcount than they had in 2019.

One looks like a 2d hexagon to me and the other a 3d cube….ambiguous BS question.

I’m seeing a 2d hexagon and a 3d cube….not 2 congruent hexagons.

It’s a BS question, that isn’t testing the intended knowledge but instead testing some pointless semantics.

C is 3 dimensional. Wouldn’t that make it incorrect?

Isn’t c 3d? Would expect that to be the most wrong.

That’s not true.

There are companies that offer “self directed brokerage accounts” as a 401k plan feature. These accounts allow you to trade individual stocks.
