I work in IT for a Fortune 500 org.

We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.

Is an algorithm not a formula?

Is it really any different than when the formula did it?

When Apple launched their credit card it was super biased against applicants with female names. They blamed it on the formula.

Ai is just the newest fancy word for programming.

Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping

I used to travel a lot for work and needed deliveries on specific days. Amazon guaranteed delivery days were crap.

I know a guy who actually got an official response from Amazon about that. Their response was “We guarantee 2 day shipping once the items are shipped. We may not start shipping for a day or two depending on how busy we are.”

The fact they’re still running on dos is a clue that either they can’t figure out how to upgrade or they don’t want to upgrade or they simply won’t allocate the budget to upgrade.

It generally boils down to money. Shops like that are toxic. They somehow don’t have the budget to keep their business afloat, means you’re not getting a raise.

If you take this job, you’re obsolete. Getting the next job will be tough. You’re interview at the next potential role what did you do at your current role? I ran dos on 30 year old machines. Interviewer: I’m sorry, but we need someone with experience in Windows ME.

Delta is primarily an Airbus fleet. They do not currently fly any 737 MAX planes, though they have ordered 100 Max 10s for delivery starting in 2025.

I’ll assume they’re being pressured into it by the significant fuel savings the max offers over their current fleet.

Or, if are willing to fly any of the big 3’s regional brands it’ll be on a regional jet which Boeing doesn’t make. Generally those are made by Bombardier or less commonly Embraer. Though, bigger plane means smoother flight.

The article talked a lot about school buses in rural areas. Mass Transit isn’t a thing in most rural areas.

In urban cities, yes that’s a feasible idea. Most people in the USA live in places where mass transit isn’t feasible.

We are a nation of car drivers who bought into the dream of having a house on a large lot in the suburbs. Mass Transit exists, but in the burb it’s generally a parking lot where you take a bus to your job downtown.

I’m literally not buying a Tesla because he’s a douchbag.

When I see a Tesla on the road I assume they are a Musk fan boy. There’s no prestige in that brand. There are a lot of us that assume that.

Switches not bulbs

Yep, having just moved and trying to setup the new/same network in the new house. Most of the new house is already fully led or had many bulbs on one circuit. Thus I need switches.

Other thing, save the instructions. I bought a new hub for the new house. Getting stuff to pair with the new hub was a disaster and I’m still using the old hub. Unpairing instructions would have helped a lot.
