The two api issue basically means async is not backwards compatible. You can't just squeeze some async into an existing code base, You'd need new functions, libraries etc. You'd basically need to rewrite the entire codebase in async to see an ounce of perf improvements.
because its a regression. WFH is better for a lot of folks. It saves time and money. Being forced back to office is like taking a pay cut as well as wastes 2 hours each day.
When you have a hammer everything starts to look like a nail. We have LLMs, now we need to find a use for it in a way that people are willing to pay money for.
No one is quitting their job to just be on unemployment. Unemployment benefit is funded by unemployment tax on both corporations and individuals. The unemployment benefit for CA is $40 to $450 per week. (You still have to pay income tax on that) Its much lower in conservative states. Its enough to smooth things out but not enough to live off of, you are still going to be digging into savings. Additionally you have to provide proof that you are looking for jobs ever week. Its not like I can take a holiday in europe and still collect.

I can understand someone who is unemployed and actively searching for a professional job to believe that, but I think that looks at the issue from a privileged position. No one is quitting their professional offices jobs just to be on unemployment, but I don't think the same can be said of lower income sh*t jobs.
Such a declarative statement of "no one" cannot be accurate because there is probably someone doing just that. Working a low wage job - maybe day labor - just long enough to qualify for benefits, then quitting and coasting until they have to work again.
Low wage jobs only net you $40 a week. Thats $160 a month. Even if you pay no income tax, try living on $160 a month in any where America. Thats barely enough to pay for groceries for a single person for a month.
There's also the benefit of food stamps, and housing assistance at that income level. Actual fraud may be rare. I cannot find a good study on fraud in benefits, but I don't think that detracts that safeguards should be put in place.
Food banks and SNAP/EBT and dumpster diving and community living. It's a lower standard of living in some ways, for sure, but you don't have to go to work and get to do art all day long. What's that worth to you?

Legally, ethically, or morally? In the history of the world, there are definitely people who've done this, though the smarter move is to take a holiday in East Asia like the Philippines or somewhere else super LCOL rather than Europe.

Last year I was vacationing in Sicily and I met a French girl who was doing just that: traveling Europe while collecting unemployment from her home country. I am in favor of generous unemployment welfare, but there should be controls in place.
Meaningless for tech workers in the UK. You quit from a £100k a year job, your £90 a week isn't going to be noticable.
Far more useful is if your employer lays you off (short of major disciplinary reasons), you get at least 1 weeks pay for every year you've worked there (1.5 weeks if you are older).
In the US when you quit it's $0.00. In other countries it's the same benefit as if you had been laid off. We probably agree the latter is the best policy. I'm just saying, other countries have done it. We don't have to guess what the results would be.
Including taking classes in your desired field IMO, not just being actively engaged in two hiring processes at least once a week (which is what my state mandates for UEI).
This actively looking for one is normally implemented by showing a job search log. It is however especially with indeed and LinkedIn to fulfill this requirement in 15 minutes per week if you really wanted to without any intention on working.
For those that DO want to work this means that employers are looking at piles of fake applications from people that don't want to work and an increased chance of being filtered out.
The winner is just nvidia, I see this like the battle of gas vs electric cars. Nvidia is basically making the wheels. whichever company wins, you'd still need wheels.
They must've been really pissed off at Barney the Dinosaur.
(for those who haven't had the (dis)pleasure, this was a television show that was enjoyed by toddlers, but extremely annoying to anyone over the age of three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_%26_Friends)
I agree that it'd be concerning if junk images wound up in textbooks, but, you know, ensuring that textbook illustrations are accurate (within the limits of current scientific knowledge) is part of their job.
