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.

I'm pretty intelligent. While I don't have problems with determining which problems to solve, I do tell people that what I am good at, I'm up there with the best. My hyper analytic nature has worked great for me. But some things I'm not good at all with. The wife has to point me in the right direction in the morning. I have to not "talk shop" with normal people. My memory is a huge problem for most people, so I let them lie to me. Hint, calling out people every time they lie is difficult. Most people lie constantly.

But all of this is something that can be adapted to get by in life.

I had a friend who was operating on yet another level. A professor of acoustics, most considered him "Einstein level". and one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet - when he retired it was a mega tear fest for the staff assistants.

Couldn't figure out things like how to dress or put a view foil on the projector the right way. His wife ended up fixing the dress problem. She bought him 5 identical suits, ties, shirts, and shoes. A different group for each day of the week. He could grok the logic in that, so just put on the group she laid out for him in the morning.

The US has long had highly intelligent people come here. It has worked to our advantage. There is a reason many do not wish to go back to their country of origin, as you note. As for the situation you allude to - this too will pass.

Exactly. While the propagandists some of the media, and insecure would have the world believe else wise, the USA is a pretty good place to live.

Fibnally, the Bell curve advocate shows up. Willkommen, Freund!

There is one big issue with your thesis. China, the most intelligent country on earth, is only now becominga "highly developed country"?

Seems like the most intelligent people on earth would not have to become a highly developed country recently.

Funny how the Bell curve and its sycophants can look at a person, and know how intelligent they are.

I prefer the method of talking to a person, after a while you find out that there are intellectually challenged members of all so-called races, and there are average members, and there are geniuses in each "race"

To me, that's an indictment on the users. I've gone there a few times, and it seems like a place the viewer needs what they are looking at repeated a hundred times before it sinks in.

Of course, many people have attention spans of a goldfish.

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.

Also to Doc Holliday.

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...

Antibacterial soap doesn't use antibiotics, it uses chemicals known to destroy antibiotics directly and physically. It's usually done with compounds they can't reasonably develop resistance to. This is easier than in antibiotics because they don't have to be safe to put in your body.

That is not what this story is about.

You have lost the plot.

This is about whether a hostile third party can affect a vehicle remotely because of manufacturer incompetence.

New radio older than old radio? Wow.

What I find actually surprising is not in the headline but is in the summary: Mediatek is superior.

You know some of these US cities full of anti vaxxers have lower vaccination rates than third world countries right?

Did they make any attempt to distinguish between correlation and causation?

Such as? There have been a couple of controlled studies on ultraprocessed food. They found weight gain and other things like speed of eating associated with the UPFs and not other diets. Good luck doing a decade long controlled study until people get heart disease, even if you somehow convinced an ethics committee to let you try.

There have also been lots of mechanistic studies of many of the common ingredients in UPFs.

No, that's not how it works. People who live in a place have collective herd immunity or not, unless they are quarantined

When the person behind the desk with the [former] label "leader of the free world" boosts anti-vaxxers, that's not "mere" anything.

It does not matter even slightly where it comes from. It's coming in all the time. What matters is what percentage are vaccinated, which determines whether a population has effective herd immunity. The immigrants aren't moving the needle on that, but the religious are.
