I guess the plan is to use current senior programmers until AI is good enough to replace them too.

Maybe the real question is why bother having children, to bring them into the world where they are really unwanted by the entire society?

Eventually your stud CPU will be 'old'. It may lack a feature. You will move on.

You bought Threadripper because it had something you wanted, and was supported by what you wanted to do. Enjoy it while you can. My current mail laptop is about 4 years old and does all I need as fast as I need it. I'm 3 revs behind, soon to be 4, but no need to replace it. My field laptop is 5 years old and on its third battery. Both do the job.

Your Threadripper CPU is no more than 7 years old. Your rig should have had TPM 2, that's 10 years old. Making a 10 year old hardware requirement mandatory for Windows 11 forced us to figure out why it was not industry wide...

I've been using Windows 11 for so long, and in fast ring/beta/preview/insider channels, it's not the 'next' anything. It's more than 3 years old. With over a billion users it's not unexpected that you will get horrible reports of flaws. 0.1% of users is a million...

I pay no heed to anything about high contrast mode, or dual-boot problems, or my *&() doesn't work. My problems have been minimal and resolved as quickly as any version.

I'm guessing not many of you used Windows when it wasn't described with a version number. Not many of you fully appreciate the complexity of maintaining Windows before even minimal virtualization of device drivers was a thing, and a new mouse would cost you an afternoon cleaning up .dll errors.

Win11 isn;t the next anything. It's not even the future. It is the Windows if you don't have a dependency on 10. Or 8. Or 7, blah blah blah. You wanna complain? Complain about PHP.

Well the the AUD:USD still sucks. 0.65
Hasn’t really budged much in a couple of years.

Most of these stock market profits are the falling dollar value. US stocks had meh returns this year when denominated in EUR.

Truly insignificant fines and consequences. Add a zero minimum to the financial penalties.

What WF management did was encourage, promote, and reward theft. And the employees seemed to, actually did, abandon even minimal ethics and knowingly cheat their customers. For money. Theft. Should have been jail time. And true crippling financial penalties for all involved. I doubt we can be certain the victims were even made whole, but pretending they were is part of the process.

There is a term for it - shit Midas.

The distances are easy to imagine, but the reasons to use a car to cross them are much more difficult to. Who in their sound mind would want to spend a whole day behind a steering wheel unless being paid for it? Flying longer distances is much faster. It also allows one to do something productive in the time - unless flying the airplane as a pilot, of course, but in this particular case it at least adds flight hours to the logbook and stay current so it can count as productive.

"simply because they had tattoos"

You are so unaware of the significance of those particular tattoos? You're not alone. Make do not wish to considering the truth that evil people have sought to come into our nation, as fertile ground. I prefer decent people come. But of course I appear so wrong to those who cannot easily define right.

For being a prison 'nobody ever leaves', this is pretty remarkable.

You were...?

Scared of what? There will still be a CEO, that's as secure a job as ever. Losing customers to unemployment? Are you paying attention to the push to reinvigorate manufacturing in the US? Those are just that car-buyers will fill, and not half will be replaced by AI or automation. Infrastructure jobs? Those will come with manufacturing and even AI, as that needs more energy.

Not scared. The modern CEO sees opportunity, to reshape their business, create new things, new markets, it's a huge change coming, and the clever will profit.

Don't project your fears on the rest of us. I may come out of retirement if the right opportunity appears.

You forgot that the orange shitgibbon is very resentful. He tends to go out of his way to hurt people for even imaginary slights and in this case they are actually very real. He can do real damage to elon.

Bwahahahahahaha you seriously believe this?!

In sports it is a paradigm that there is no substitute for speed.

Same thing for computers. More wide receivers doesn't solve the speed problem for American football, it just spends resources elsewhere on the field with different results. In the CPU, not-as-fast just means, as pointed out elsewhere, even more instances are necessary, and so more resources are needed for that.

And if you are not paying attention, you may not see the light coming down the tunnel that is RISC-V. It will be optimized, enhanced, improved, and so long as the ISA is open source it will improve at a pace sufficient, I think, to be competitive.
