And suddenly all the AI weirdness is a feature, not a bug.

Laid off probably…

This is just a recycled George Carlin bit.

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

What’s the typical reaction to that? Bring honest like that doesn’t sound like a winning strategy, unless you pass it off as a joke maybe.

Harr!

Bought a C$500 6750xt on Newegg a while ago, it still comes up for that price a lot.

The humans are going to train the UAVs.

I looked at the Ford Canada page - the smallest vehicle in the line up was the Mustang, most were trucks or should big SUVs. Then I looked at the Ford Switzerland page - lots of reasonable cars of all sizes, basically zero trucks.

They make them, they just don’t sell them here. It’s bullshit.

Part of it is that some colleagues are on the East Coast, and others are on the West Coast. I’m in the middle, so I start early to align with the East Coast, and then often get involved in things with the West Coast in their afternoon.

So you’re right, definitely connected to the work.

Another part is that I’m just bad at not checking messages/dialing notifications… But that’s a me problem.

Full time remote since March 2020. I have even moved cities since then, away from the office completely, and the company has hired on and off site over the last three years, mostly going by candidates, not geographical location. That’s the way to do it if you can (IT etc).

I’m pretty happy with it. Work wise, people are used to it by now, and as long as we deliver results, we are trusted to work how we see fit. Management is fully on board with it. The social aspects don’t bother me much, but the company does hold off site events twice a year, which helps with social ties.

The main downsides for me are a) that I’m missing my bike commute in the summer (free exercise!), and b) that I actually tend to work longer hours since I don’t have the commute time anymore.

But not needing a car is great, lots of carbon impact and financial savings there.
