Mecha-Hitler disagrees.

And "toxic" is just a code-word for masculine. Which has been declared "toxic" by our overlords, who don't want us to oppose them.

The Economy relies on ever-increasing amounts of debt to function. Banks are fine with lending money because they expect taxpayers to bail them out if the loans go bad.

> I feel like the entire world is caught up in snake oil salesmanship to the point of destroying the entirety of functional society, just because a very few people might make some money off of it. WTF?

It's been like that for years now. Society is collapsing and we're in the Looting The Treasury phase.

Without Moore's Law you can build more powerful chips by making them bigger, but they'll take more power to run. Which means more cooling to keep them running and more power plants to run them.

There might be improvements to chip design to make them more optimal for AI software, but that's likely to be a one-off.

Visual Studio and Eclipse are typically used for statically typed languages (C# and Java), so you get IDE magic like automatic refactors, renaming, jump to definition, etc. It's nice, and helps you program faster.

However, in the real world most people use dynamic languages like Python, which loses all that IDE magic (AI can kind of help here). btw IntelliJ has been more popular than Eclipse among Java programmers for more than a decade now.

The conclusion is that most programmers don't care about programming more quickly/efficiently.

I'm now not even sure what your point is. The population decline was reported in multiple places, if you don't like Al Jazeera, then feel free to find a different source.

I assume strong AI is possible at any time, as soon as the algorithm is figured out.

You can't call something a "serious bid for top talent" when you don't even know what the terms are. Applications haven't opened, and the details about eligibility haven't been released. It's premature to make conclusions about what they are trying to do (let along what they will do) without those details.

The Soviet Union never even pretended to be communist. They claimed they were socialist, and working towards communism. But they were quite aware they hadn't achieved it yet.

What on earth are you talking about? Rosseau doesn't have anything to do with electric cars.

The government. That's why they are complaining (according to the summary).

If the gate to production is lithium batteries, then you might as well use the batteries you have in luxury cars instead of cheap cars. At least, that is optimal from the manufacturer's perspective.

If you can get batteries for both (which will eventually happen as production increases and prices come down), then you will make both luxury and cheap cars.

Is that really true?

I thought they got bought? Did Oracle re-capitalize? I need an upgrade on Niagara.

At least read the summary! "declining emissions in the travel, cement and steel industries."

I didn't get into P vs NP until my second year of college.
