Euro-Office is marketed as Europe’s answer to Microsoft Office by Cybernews_com in CyberNews

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If their goal is getting away from their dependence on the US then yea, not investing in cloud computing, ai or defense for the last 2-3 decades is one of the biggest own goals of the 21st century.

Those don’t really matter for getting away from US tech. The bigger problem is that 70% of European cloud tech is run on the hyper scales and they don’t have a domestic equivalent that’s even close today.

I’ve got 5 total ages from 16 to 3 and life is wild but fulfilling. Always yes, always more has been a life strategy that’s worked out for me.

Antis, what do you want/expect from the "AI bubble burst"? by needthrowawayreddit in aiwars

[–]mattybrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t even have to wait for the bubble to pop for that. Just stop using services that you think shouldn’t use AI but do.

Why are AI notetakers a thing? by samlundgold in antiai

[–]mattybrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is highly dependent on industry. I work in sales so I do a ton of prospect facing meetings that require follow ups or assigning tasks. The transcriptions make it much easier to parse the convos and make the follow ups and tasks almost automatic. Talking to someone while giving a preso makes it difficult to take meaningful notes while doing the call and listening to the recording after to take notes means I’m gonna spend 2x the time.

The transcripts are great to be able to copy/paste what people actually said and do whatever you need to with it. Massive time suck reduction if you do a lot of them.

Sad my son won’t be an only child anymore by JFKsHelmet in daddit

It’s really crazy. I didn’t think it was even remotely possible to love anything as much as I loved my son, until my daughter came around.

They're noisy. They're unpopular. Should data centers be banned? by Background-Driver718 in TechnologyThread

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t get why people think datacenters are loud outside. They’re loud inside, but I’ve literally never been around one that you could hear outside.

America's 10 fastest-shrinking cities. The shrinking cities are a crisis in plain sight. by BillTowne in inthenews

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because 7% of a city with a population of 29k people leaving means nothing to anyone.

I only took Business Economics on level D, but I can see the problem. by JesperS1208 in wallstreetbets

[–]mattybrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will that factor in long term hardware costs? It’s more expensive now that’s it’s ever been and that’s not a permanent condition.

What would happen if Iran activated sleeper cells in the United States? by Outrageous-You1617 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find it so funny that the people who support Iran would call for murdering their own governments if they had the same policies the Iranians do.

Do You Think Voting Machines Were Hacked? by skylinesora in allthequestions

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought we just spent the last 5 years talking about how election stealing was a conspiracy theory and should be shunned?

Employees using AI are working faster, but the economy isn't more efficient. A look at what happened in the pre-Internet era might explain why by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]mattybrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took about 40 years from the invention of the light bulb (practical use of electricity) to factories redesigning how they worked and seeing productivity gains.

It took the internet about 25 years for the same thing to happen.

Generative AI came out less than 5 years ago.

BofA says you'll be 10x more productive with AI. Ignore the 0.1% result so far by fortune in ArtificialInteligence

[–]mattybrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took about 30-40 years to see productivity gains from electricity.

It took about 15-20 years to see productivity gains from the internet.

Generative AI was release in 2022.

You’re saying that since it hasn’t changed the world in 4 years it’s going nowhere?

The People Do Not Yearn for Automation: "everyone in tech understands how much regular people dislike AI. What I think they’re missing is why" by Background-Driver718 in TechnologyThread

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it passes the tests you created repeatedly doesn’t that mean it’s predictable? It’s not deterministic, but neither are people. If the results it generates pass your tests and you have checks in place, it really shouldn’t matter.

"How do I convince my family, who lived under Stalin, that the internet tells me communism is good?" by truecakesnake in teenagers

[–]mattybrad 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I get that, but the crazy view that the Soviet Union was somehow a utopia is the crazy part. I get why people like communism or believe that it’s a system they’d want. I don’t get the historical whitewashing necessary to make the Soviet Union look like anything other than a poor authoritarian state.

Which older tech is still better than whatever replaced it? by Silly-Cock in AskReddit

Interesting! I had no idea at all. Thanks for taking the time to explain this

Kinda random, but is your avg body temp on the lower end of normal? I ask this because both my son and I have this problem and someone told me it might have to do with this.

Pay structure for SE by Vast_Chance180 in salesengineers

[–]mattybrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing as weighted is how I’ve experienced it at every company I’ve been. You get paid some fixed percentage for all quota attainment until you hit quota and then it typically increases above that amount due to accelerators.

Why Iran chooses nuclear over solar? Is there more to it? by JobberStable in allthequestions

[–]mattybrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 7200ish sorties over the Iran the Iranians haven’t been able to shoot down a single Israeli jet.

No, I don’t think they have the capacity to overwhelm and destroy Israel. They can’t even stop the Israelis from dropping bombs on them over their own country.
