I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.
2·16 days agoI’m definitely aware now. We’re global and that means even more overhead with multiple regulatory bodies. Our products are several years to their first market, and at least another year for the global rollout.
And I’m just over here writing software and trying to reduce toil for these insane people who hand-roll excel files like they’re databases and applications.
I left the tech world and now work for a medical device company. All I can say is I’m extremely happy to be working from home with the 3 hours of meetings and 1-2 hours of work I have each week. And the director wants to get me a junior because I’m managing so many projects. Hell, I’m actively drumming up work and it takes weeks for anything to happen.
Sure I took a bit of a pay cut, but I’m not on call 1 week a month and I’m not being run ragged everyday either.
I’m case the headline left you wondering:
The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.

I was all in on a 1080p tablet with micro sd card in 2012. And then it just shut off and never turned on again a few months out of warranty.
Then there was a Lenovo yoga tablet in 2014 with windows 8. The Intel atom processor was such a dog it just ended up being a solitaire screen and about nothing else.
Recently bought another cheap tablet for a different specific use case. We’ll see if this one is a POS.
2·1 month agoFor sure (our Volvo is 1 year too old to have the android automotive system and … It would be better). The Amazon effort that powers the Alexa + Ford sync business isn’t quite at that depth: it’s an API with always online “AI learning” stuff OEMs can integrate.
Ford has had Amazon Alexa built-in for something like 5 years …
16·1 month agoAV2, a generation leap in open video coding and the answer to the world’s growing streaming demands, delivers significantly better compression performance than AV1. AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range. AV2 marks a milestone on the path to an open, innovative future of media experiences.
Well, I’m not using a vacation day. So I’m cleaning out the garage and staying “online”.
Fried spam with some cheap yellow mustard was a regular Sunday lunch. Usually with some boxed waffle mix topped with watery mapleine homemade “syrup”.
For sure, but good cheese curds are amazing.
Yep, cream of mushroom or cream of celery. A staple for the upper Midwestern hotdish.
“gravy” is a stretch. This picture looks way better than the reality. Cream soup and usually some bread crumbs or noodles to stretch it. If there was flavor, it was the salt from the tots.
Storage (bookshelf?) secured to the floor/wall. Unless you really want the open feeling. Maybe with a mesh back (even something like hog wire), you can have the best of both worlds.
That’s not MIA, that’s AWOL.
Pretty close! Swap the mash for tots and the gravy for cream soup.
The tater tot hotdish I grew up with. … Under the tots at least.
2·2 months agoYou can use a stick to throw a rock in curling. I’ve played with several old farts who are better with a stick than I am with a typical delivery (which is also somewhat hard on knees).
Shockingly, the only fail for the Ford F150 Lightning is the physical buttons for climate control on the higher trim models (with the gigantic screen). The Pro and XLT have the physical buttons and I’ll be damned if I don’t miss them.
And on those, fan speed is a touch and then you can dial the speed on the one physical control.
