I'll know in a couple of months how I'm faring. At least I've got time to get everything in order for my family. Unlike dropping dead of a heart attack at the gym or something.
With what I've got it's not a matter of if it will kill me, but when. By the time it shows symptoms, you're fucked. If chemo does its job, I've got a year+, if not, months. Five year survival rate is somewhere between 5%-8%.
Cancer of the bile ducts of the liver sucks ass.
Since mid-November I've been under 1K calories a day, mainly because swelling from the tumors is crushing my stomach. Here's hoping chemo does its job.
What they want is a 300 mile battery that costs $500, can take 10K charge/discharge cycles, weighs 50lbs, is the size of a small suitcase, and charges in five minutes.
Except the cost, we'll be there in 15-20 years.
This guy isn't talking about AI generating C code or anything like that, he wants a machine learning app to be generated - and nobody will know what's going on inside.
I don't see that changing any time soon.
There is a point where bitching and moaning is pointless because even if the part was available you have zero chance of making a successful repair.
Or if one capacitor blows up on a logic board, the entire electronics assembly must be replaced. So where IS the line between "assembly" and "component"?
In this case since schematics are required to be made available you can look up what the capacitor is and buy one from Mouser or Digikey.
