I would guess weight is more of a consideration for consumer passenger airplanes than military ones. After all, airlines do not have magazines anymore to save weight.

Well it was a busy holiday season for the US. The rest of the world view Thanksgiving as a Thursday. American carriers were busy for sure.

This article and the data behind it are talking about what is and is not based on the Linux kernel not what the general population defines as Linux. You want everyone to ignore that while making your argument.

Strawman argument. Anyone who knows anything technical about Android knows it is based on the Linux kernel.

Classic whataboutism. You might as well speculated that a meteor will wipe out civilization and no one can update Android anymore. That is equally as relevant as your scenario. Android uses the Linux kernel today. It is considered based on Linux today.

Yes it is a lot of ignorance. As someone who is on slashdot, I assumed you would know better.

While what you say is generally true about artificial deadlines, Intel’s problem is they were more than 5 years behind schedule. They were stuck on 14nm for years while TSMC and Samsung leaped ahead and are so far ahead that Intel was forced to contract TSMC to make some chips.

That's what I just said.

The topic of this report is Amazon is laying off thousands of people. Did you not read the title?

1) Linux is a kernel. Always has been. 2) The fact it is a kernel makes it more relevance because people can change the userspace. Linux can be used in a desktop OS, mobile OS, HPC OS, etc.

A Linux distro is not the Linux kernel. To contort your argument, you are willing to bring in irrelevant facts.

No, let's be clear: You don't care about facts. Linux is a kernel. It has been for 30+ years since the very beginning of Linux. Today there are Linux-based OS variants which you have low opinions. But you are willing to mislead and obfuscate about what is Linux because you are unwilling to accept basic facts. An Acura is still a Honda despite your denialism.

It does not change the definition of Unix desktop if a user does not use command line. It is still Unix behind the UI. By that argument, HP Unix was not Unix because HP made many functions menu driven by default.

And you muddled the conversation by saying there were Unix desktops at your work. That is not true. If there are Macs, there are Unix desktops

Again Linux is the kernel, not the UI or the distro. When you do not get basic facts right, your argument collapses. That is like you arguing that an Acura is not a Honda because the interior is different. The fact that Acuras generally use a large percentage of Honda parts destroys your argument.

Your entire post seems to be a No True Scotsman fallacy that ignores the basic fact that Linux is the kernel. By claiming something is not Linux because it uses the Linux kernel shows an ignorance of what Linux is.

Since the migration to OS X 20 years ago, Apple computer OS is Unix 03 certified.

Only if you exclude Macs as Unix desktops for some reason. At my work, it is close to 30% as I count Macs as Unix desktops.

Here's where the summary goes wrong:

Artificial Intelligence is in fact many kinds of technologies. People conflate LLMs with the whole thing because its the first kind of AI that an average person with no technical knowledge could use after a fashion.

But nobody is going to design a new rocket engine in ChatGPT. They're going to use some other kind of AI that work on problems on processes that the average person can't even conceive of -- like design optimization where there are potentially hundreds of parameters to tweak. Some of the underlying technology may have similarities -- like "neural nets" , which are just collections of mathematical matrices that encoded likelihoods underneath, not realistic models of biological neural systems. It shouldn't be surprising that a collection of matrices containing parameters describing weighted relations between features should have a wide variety of applications. That's just math; it's just sexier to call it "AI".

I think Woz didn't make any advances at a fundamental level.
