We may be entering a world where we can find 99.44% of bugs and we may find the "easy to find ones" a lot faster than we would find them today, but it's very arrogant to declare "we are entering a world where we can finally find them all" given how many unknowns are still out there.

Yes, the progress is good, but we need some humility and we need to be realistic with our expectations.

Well before pets.com, small textile firm was bought out in a hostile takeover. The new owners pivoted the company into an investment/holding company.

While not as big a Apple, it is pretty big in terms of market capitalization.

You may have heard of it.

It was CMOS CPU that could be clocked to almost nothing. It was used in several cubesats and a few spacecraft--perhaps including the Hubble.

They could have made something to save and organize webpages, but instead, they brought more stinky AI into the world.

On the very good side, this will lower the cost and lead times for new drugs.

On the bad side, nation-states, terrorists, and even just Evil Agents Of Chaos[TM] who have access to tools like this and the knowledge to (ab)use them will be able to unleash biological chaos on the world.

Imagine if someone created a virus that infected everyone, spread rapidly, but was asymptomatic or had only common-cold-like-symptoms on everyone but their intended target, but it killed their target. The target could be an individual, a family that uniquely shared a mutation, or an entire ethnic group where the mutation was common in that ethnic group but rare outside of it.

Even worse, once unleashed, the virus will likely mutate and people or groups that are not the intended target may die, including the people who unleashed it.

I fear this is what is in our future.

The underlying filesystem has supported larger partitions all along. It's just the Windows UI tools didn't expose this.

...so a more stable Mint, is okay by me.

Last I checked, Philippines is not helping to soon to fail U.S. job market.

...is exactly what is needed.

Even when I use Windows, I try to be careful not to let it see any data.

... instead of doing 300 unrelated experiments, do 30 experiments and independently replicate each one 10 times.

At least then you'll know if you've got 30 repeatable experiments, 0 repeatable experiments, or something in the middle.

Here in Silicon Valley, I used to notice plenty of surfaces, but as many now. Perhaps they are keeping them indoors?

One you get used to it--it will be eating off your hand.

Wait! Instead of you all running your appliances--we can just put in some data centers!

Ironically, gunmakers do not want you printing your own guns, either. Many 3D printers are home-built, as mine was, Such a bill is just a bad idea.
