It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect “fresh people” to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?
Interesting times ahead of us.
Yes I agree. I just wanted to point out that articles like linked should not be immediately interpreted as “oh noo recession”. They move labor wherever it is cheaper, Eastern Europe, Ukraine, India, or China in case of manufacturing, that’s all.
Privileges of being a megacorp?
While at the same time opening new positions for Pixel teams in Poland, for example.
Ooh, that’s interesting. But I assume there is nothing stopping me from using both quux AND alternative routes to nodes (via meshtastic for instance) at the same time? I don’t have to go fully one way or another?
I wonder how hard and if feasible at all it would be to have something like an email over NNCP over meshtastic network. Total independence and resilience.
Thank you. And sorry for the dumbass that downvoted you (the guy just spend a few minutes of his life writing this, you do not have to agree with him to appreciate the effort…)
I said this in my other comment but in indirect way - I would love for some French lemmings to chime in and describe how they portray their president. Because what I see from the perspective of an outsider (but eu citizen) - he looks like a great leader with unmatched opportunity to became one due to his country strength and position.
Yes, I also was dumbfounded by this “dealing a blow”, I had to double check if I’m really reading about spectrum launch or some other project.
Anyway, what kind of journalism is this? If I have to filter every article like that from unfounded emotional charge then I might as well not read it at all. I’d understand if this was Bravo Girls or something, not a science-related article.
Title: Rocket carrying orbital vehicle crashes. Article: The 28-meter (92-foot), two-stage rocket was not carrying any load for the test flight.
WTF?
Not quite? Ok so according to the article it is supposed to challenge the status of AUTOSAR. This is something used exclusively in automotive ECUs which most of the time use the operating system shipped with AUTOSAR compliant vendor. This OS is much much simpler than Linux is with totally different design goals and requirements. Think bare-bones no MMU operating system. It would be closer to FreeRTOS than Linux.
However the story does not end here. Together with an operating system the vendor delivers all tooling for development, which includes such gimmicks like visualization of task scheduling in comparison to resource usage. You can inspect worst case scenarios without even running the compiled software and make sure that hard real-time requirements are always met.
Now, this space is dominated by one company from Germany named Vector… You see where this goes.
Source: worked with AUTOSAR many years ago. I hated it because the tooling is so advanced it is mostly point and click programming
