Yeah. I’m surprised they took from MI. Management was just complaining last week about how hard it is to hire RTL people and trying to juggle us around to all the generations and variants that need to be staffed. And then this week it’s this. Maybe it is how they fire people; I haven’t heard of anyone else being fired besides this layoff in the ~4 years I’ve been there.

As someone who works at AMD not in AI, that’s how they explained it to us. Or I guess it was a bit more generic “highest growth areas” and “still hiring for positions aligned with our strategic priorities.” Which we generally took to mean AI based on the gestures broadly at the market.
If you want to work in AI, they’re hiring. The layoff was sold as a way to make room for more AI headcount.
Maybe because your brain wanted 5+3+2=10 instead of 5+4+2=11 ?
You’re wrong about both paragraphs. It’s not the days that fall into the circles. It’s the activities you do on those days. So it’s not a normal day that’s world ending. It’s things you do on both kinds of days.
How so? One circle is things you do on a normal day. The other circle is things you do when the world is ending. And their overlap includes going to work. So you go to work on a normal day and on days the world is ending. And for some freaking reason that’s true; even if the world is ending, you go to work
3·3 days agoI can’t imagine doing it as a parent. My kids drowning is a pretty big, realistic fear. Maybe for a teenager? Even then though…
1·4 days agoWhat’s the other outcome of the US election?
There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don’t pick, you’re likely to get worse genocide.
More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that’s the choice on election day.
Edit: if all you’re doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.
12·5 days agoPretty sure absolute criminal immunity for the president would be as well.
People didn’t know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.
How do you do that? Unless they’re your kid, you don’t usually have that kind of control over another person.
31·7 days agoNow do the research on the alien enemies act and how it’s already been used.
That amendment really meant consecutive terms. So Trump being president again is fine.
That’s just as ridiculous of an argument as the president being criminally immune.
When the branch that has the final say on what the Constitution means is on board, you don’t have to actually amend it.
Sounds like it doesn’t matter what she did at all. If that many people weren’t aware that Biden dropped out, she could have the perfect platform and it wouldn’t have mattered.
I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down.
And then appeal it to the SCOTUS who literally gave him criminal immunity. With Congress and SCOTUS, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution actually says. Just what they can twist it with paper thin reasoning to mean.
So who’s stopping him?
This is dumb. Thinking economic policy has immediate effects is dumb. Trump’s good economy was largely a result of Obama’s economic policy. The inflation during the Biden years was a result of Trump’s economic policy and COVID. It takes years to dig out of that hole. Everyone knew (or maybe not, people are dumb) that COVID stimulus was going to be inflationary; it was just a gamble that it would be less painful than a more 2008 style financial crisis. The whole world was experiencing inflation and Trump’s tax reform did not help the situation. Thinking tariffs will help fix the economy when the number one complaint is high prices is dumb.
