"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

The Recom R-78E series are well known to be cost-reduced to the point of having noise like that. Their R-78B series is clean and I use them everywhere

Retro Access continues to add more options for adapters and accessories. We now carry Extron stereo audio adapters with GENUINE Phoenix Contact terminals, these are not the low quality knock-offs commonly sold elsewhere!

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€here's what things actually look like
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills
