Good joke, but he didn't say they were real words or what kind of keyboard he was using.

But by voice I can probably input faster than I could ever type--and I made my living as a typist for a couple of stretches.

Is that related to the iPad thing?

See other reply.

Your grasp of economics is so deep.

So how would you like to buy a nice bridge? Only slightly used by a little old lady who crossed it to go to church on Sundays.

You remind me of a CFO I used to work with. Harvard MBA, so he must have been a genius. Can't understand how the company went bankrupt. I'm sure there was no causal link, but I had left long before that... I got too tired of taking care of problems that had been omitted from the business plan...

I learned how to type, in the early 90s, on a typewriter, by watching the Alemdia method tape one single time. And I still remember the jingle.

But I *perfected* my typing on Sierra On-Line games and the like.

I guess we should also teach kids how to shoe horses, repair steam locomotives, and use telegraphs and Morse code.

His surname is one transposition away from "AI Mode".

Cursive IS hand writing. I think you are confusing it with italic.

I think American schools should probably teach something. It seems fairly evident that they are not even doing that at present.

Yeah, because all even/all odd is (from basic statistics) rare, and happens to be rarer than the percentage of people who play all-even or all-odd, so you'd be more likely to split any winnings.

Microsoft to focus on the other things that matter too, such as stability and power user enhancements.

Hell has finally frozen over?

Am I going to have to start finding ways to make my OS do what I ask instead of what some marketer thinks people like me want it to do?

That won't be an option if MS gets is way!

I just really wish that the world could just pick one distro and go with it.

And you wish the only car on the market was a Frod F150?

So far no mention of the Chinese elephant in the room? Also curious about the European situation. Or should I report on the increasingly bleak Japanese situation as regards electricity supplies?

One thing about renewable power like solar and wind is that you may have "free" excess capacity just because the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. For a lot of the AI training stuff, that can be scheduled when the power is available and thus lower the electricity demand from the data centers for AI training... You don't need to worry about storing the electricity if you have some lower-priority stuff scheduled to use it immediately.

Why funny? Because I think it would be funny if someone made a special version of the Tesla logo. Look close and you'd see it's actually a starving child with extended arms. One version could be a plastic logo cover for the hood ornament on Tesla cars.

I also considered the option of a little note to stick under the wiper of a parked Tesla: "Are you pro-life? If so, why do you drive a car linked with starving innocent children to death?"

Of course I'm just joking and I'd never actually do such a thing. Or maybe I'm not joking and I just believe that no insurance company would cover a Tesla unless the owner has a parking place with surveillance cameras? But I don't think you could pay me enough to support any Musk enterprise now. No joke.

If you thought that, you are probably American, and therefore badly educated.

In most of the world, an engineer designs engines - and/or their control systems. (Whether petrol, steam, or electric - or even hydrogen).
