Wall Street Is Getting Very Nervous About AI

Reply in thread

The more things change the more they stay the same.

If shit rolls downhill QA is at the bottom and I'm saying this as someone who comes from Ops. I deal with the shit when it hits production.

Truth of the matter is in any org it goes like this

Devs - literally walk on water. Give us new and shiny things

Ops - support the half baked shit that devs promote to prod on lies that "it's production ready we will fix in future sprints"

QA - magical role that is never filled because "we can just get devs to review their own code"

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.

Oh sweet summer child no it is not. I've spent 25+ years in corporate now. Aside from set situations like BCP we are not using thin clients. They're cumbersome, an absolute bitch to manage, and quite frankly they're shit (underpowered) and not flexible.

Sure you may get some pockets of orgs that use thin clients across the board but I highly doubt it's common.

This is the fun thing about The Internet is that neither of us have any idea what we are talking about.

What I can tell you is in finance the use of thin clients is niche and is not a replacement for a laptop/desktop. It's been tried time and time again.

Yes we virtualize applications using Citrix but again those are niche.

Now, healthcare may or may not be a different beast altogether.

Question, how are users accessing EMR. Are they using a thin client workstation for that along with their word, excel, outlook, etc. or are they logging into a portal from their company issued laptop/desktop?

I'm at a hospital right now and everything here is powered off of laptops hooked up to portable physical workstations.

Regardless, I digress. I don't give enough of a shit to care further lol.

Jen Gerson: Can we put separatist madness to bed, now?

I started reading this but gave up because at the end of the day let's call it as it is. Some people are frankly butthurt because they don't have more power when the feel they should even though all the existing laws and structure tell them "well actually no you don't"

And instead of working within the system to change it they would rather whinge and be butthurt.

Cheesy gordita crunch prices

A meal at a similar restaurant will usually cost much more and in more time.

This was not directed at the consumer but the company.

Taco Bell, et. al have lost the formula they're trying to do good and fast but not cheap. They forgot who they are.

Considering how cheap stp is in surprised more fast food isn't putting it to bump up their meat that would drastically cut down cost without a huge noticeable difference specifically with the taco bell beef.

People are agree because it's no longer cheap but the price doesn't warrant what you're getting cause it's still fast food lol
