Did you inherit the farm, or went into it green?

They are basically doing the opposite of libertarian/conservatism stated philosophy which is weak federal government. Instead they are doing straight up socialism (owning stake in companies/production) and exerting power uninvited in states (ICE raids).

We know it was always about tribalism.

If that CEO thinks the behaviors of the LLMs are "super smart", then I really wonder about his level of intelligence...

IT's certainly novel and different and can handle sorts of things that were formerly essentially out of reach of computers, but they are very much not "smart".

Processing that is dumb but with more human-like flexibility can certainly be useful, but don't expect people to be in awe of some super intelligence when they deal with something that seems to get basic things incorrect, asserts such incorrect things confidently, and doubles down on the same mistakes after being steered toward admitting the mistakes by interaction. I know, I also described how executives work too, but most of us aren't convinced that executives have human intelligence either.

Sorry, but poor excuse for racism is poor and wrong.

Europe has far more tourism, especially to developing countries and does not have the same issue. This has also been going on for decades so if it were those evil foreigners, why is it only now just becoming a problem.

The answer is, it isn't the foreigners. The cause is the large anti-science and anti-vaccination movements that have sprung up in the last 20-30 years and have become particularly popular in the last 10. If we drew a Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and racists we'd also find a lot of overlap.

"Free" clinics... What are you, some kind of Columnunist like those dang people over in You-Rope?

Poor people should die without medical care because they cant afford it... That's Freedom Fries health care. None of that caring about people, helping the sick or poor... That ain't in the bible.

If we don't stop this kind of thing now the next thing you'll they'll start demanding European style happiness.

can someone please explain how different this is from demonstration that china did in space ?

Provably false. In the 1990-91 academic year, approximately 25,159 bachelor's degrees and 9,324 master's degrees in computer and information sciences were conferred by postsecondary institutions in the U.S. In 2022 the number was 112,000. Nearly 80% of those were Americans. In other words, today, we have more than triple the number of American computer science graduates than in 1991. You mentioned the year 2000 .. we had 80,000 graduates that year because of how hot CS was due to Y2K and the internet going mainstream. That's still 30% below today's number. US population grew about 20%.

As per capita of the population, the US has more people going into STEM majors than most countries including India. (China and a few European countries may beat us by a small amount.) But India has 5x the population so they have 3x more people enrolled in STEM majors. It feels like India has a lot of tech people because they have a huge population and we only get their IT people (for the most part). So even though IT is actually a much smaller percent of their workforce .. to us it looks like India is full of IT workers.

The biggest reason they don't do that is the CPU generates a large amount of EMI noise, the modem would have to deal with the crosstalk from parasitic coupling.

Yeah, that was a big goof, thanks for understanding.

Apple is capable of hiring talented people and creating a useful product. They just don't seem to be capable of being user-friendly in the ways that matter to me. TBH they were never great at it, and MUGs did the heavy lifting in the customer relations department for them for free. Anyway I'm totally capable of believing their performance claims, to a reasonable point, especially when the results aren't putting them first.

I wish they were friendlier, because their hardware is reasonably impressive. I'm also just not in their target demographic apparently because I'd rather have a slightly thicker device with better cooling and battery capacity.

Why is doesn't China's rail + short & long haul trucking add up to 100%? Is the other 8% boat/car/airplane? If so how come the US number adds up to 100% ?

Also to Doc Holliday.

Even with antifreeze, attempts to thaw bodies prepared that way have resulted in massive widespread organ cracking.

In the future, phone to satellite as a backup will be important. I hope they are working on making that work properly. It sucks that there are so many areas that have zero service. We've been paying the universal service fee tax for decades now and there's nothing to show for it. I mean, even service in cities still have dead zones. This is 20 years after those "can you hear me now" Verizon ads when they claimed to be testing reception. Phone to satellite would in principle be a lot cheaper than terrestrial because each satellite covers a few thousand square miles .. that much coverage would require a few hundred cell towers.

It's not impossible, but the switch would be expensive. It's probably easier and just as effective just to shield them, and tie the shield to the chassis ground.

Another option would be to switch power to the radio chip, if it's in a package which makes that convenient. This might also disable bluetooth if you do it to the infotainment system, or cause a code to be set...

Not me. I already pay enough just to get 50 mbps down.
