Someone wanted, some, background, so it's mainly a list of some old languages and defunct computers. Last 15 years, despite the ever changing web frameworks and moving from VM's to containers, were the most consistent. Wandered from development to management/consultancy but always came back to dev.

80's: Education: Pascal, Assembler & electronics
         UK Dev: COBOL on IBM & ICL mainframes
         Ingres & C on VMS - Client/Server
90's: UK Dev: Ingres & C on VMS & UNIX (IBM/ICL/Amdahl)
         OZ/NZ/UK Dev: C & MS SQL server on Windows - n-tier
00's: US Dev: VB6, C++ & Oracle
         C#, Web (ASP.Net/JavaScript) & SQL Server
10/20's:US Dev: C#, Web (ASP.Net/JavaScript/jQuery/Node.js/React) & SQL Server

Still "working" but on a voluntary basis for the local community.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By naap51stang · Posted

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
