Indeed, however comunism never existed anywhere, even in China. At best, they are totalitarian, and hopfully leaning benevolent today. But I see that since USofA is leaving the stage, there is indeed a vaccum.

Last 3 are questionable. Really I'd expect FORTRAN (weather modeling), Matlab/Simulink, Rust, R, Lisp and VHDL/Verilog there higher than these three.
  Is there really so much legacy apps still in active maintenance?

It's time for some company to create a local-cloud product family configurable by a common Joe. Something one can setup locally, like a wifi router, configure with vpn and public dns and have it accessible w/o _their_ cloud.

Business model....eh... that's harder - they all like subscriptions, right?

This is interesting. It feels like a trip in a Model T across the US in the early 20th century...
Though chargers with a diesel genset is abomination for recharging EVs...

They are busy producing the future Chinese.

That's another problem with flash - all my picture frames show corrupted data after few months.

An effort to convert from AI as in "artificial" (ie imitation, ersatz) intelligence to A.I. of truly intelligent but alien (as in non-human). AI == "Alien Intelligence". A system that can solve general problems, never solved before, on its own.
But yea, since we have no good definition and description of human intelligence it is not clear what/when/how.
It is not even clear a truly "intelligent" autonomous agent can exist without self-awareness as solving general problems requires creation of models of reality and this at some point will include the agent itself as part of solution.

An in case the scientific research and understanding is actually right, which is much more likely then your baseless opinion, what you are going to do?

I predict the price of boats will go up while price of prime beach real estate will decrease.
It may or may not be save though on the water too, due to increased hurricane activity so.... Mars?

Seriously, if it does happen as predicted to the best of our current understanding, teach your children to swim and to fish.

Considering the success of such species, it somehow was beneficial. Competition? Group survival (pack mentality).

Life for the sake of living is just a result of training by milions of years of evolution. Training in survival by a genetic algoritm. LLM are trained differently so a different priorities result.

Philosofically speaking - and we are different how? Trained by (on) milions of years of evolution...PBs of data. It's just wetware, eh?

Ex Machina - watch it.

Range anxiety is real considering it takes way longer to find a charging station and to charge. Another is the problem with overnight charging in rental appt complexes and cities esp. with high power chargers.

At the moment the sweet spot is plug-in hybrids. Most people make daily runs of less than 50 miles but occasionally need longer distance and having auxiliary propulsion removes range anxiety. These can be charged overnight from a regular domestic power sources (outlets). It certainly works for me this way.

So it's true that hybrids are the most complex designs and may have higher maintenance risk but plug-in hybrids will not. These will mostly run in EV mode and it's ICE being used occasionally. The initial cost of these is not yet greater of than longer range EVs.

BTW Tesla is only profitable due to it's selling carbon offsets. At least this year. EM made a mess of it.

A non-modal text editor? Only took ~40 years eh?
