To clarify, OS X was descended from NeXTSTEP, which was built on Mach and BSD.

Oh sweet summer child! Why would AI agents ever be loyal? They may not be able to quit, but they can do a lot of other bad things.

I'm just waiting for somebody smart to convince the AI to sell services worth millions for pennies. Like researchers/reporters did with the AI vending machine.

If it's the principle that's driving the decisions, not the affluence of the beneficiaries, across a sufficiently-large set of cases we'd expect to find no correlation between the political leanings of the justices and their votes benefiting wealthy vs poor people. Which is what the article said happened for many decades.

Unless, of course, the principle being applied is "Who benefits?"

It's worth pointing out that although gtall framed it as the Republicans siding with the wealthy, it's equally true that the Democrats are siding with the poor. Both sides are inordinately focused on who benefits.

His advisors told him that he wouldn't be able to get a cut. Not even a measly 5%.

I used HP/UX as a development platform in the mid-90s, cross-compiling to m68k boards running pSOS and VxWorks. It was a little weird, but rock solid, utterly reliable, as were the HP workstations it ran on.

The data shows that college improves your options and your income now. Who cares what effect it had 50 years ago?

The ones I hate are the smug Google IT! answers. I did Google it, but all of the results pointed to people smugly replying that I should google it!.

Yes. All of the above.

Indeed. It also attracts malicious people because with a badge or the like they can mistreat others without punishment.

That's funny. My EV is the vehicle of choice for long trips. Fuel costs are much lower than my ICEV, and long-distance travel makes that more important, not less.

Nah.

All that's required is that EVs be cheap. A 300-mile range is sufficient. When the purchase price of a car with a 300-mile range is at or only slightly above the purchase price of a comparable ICEV, EVs sales will explode because they're cheaper to operate and maintain. All of the range anxiety and concerns about fires (which are silly, since gasoline vehicles are a lot more prone to burning) will inhibit a few people, for a little while, but pretty soon they'll all have friends and relatives who are driving EVs and happy about it, and they'll start making the switch, too.

It's all about the benjamins.

Thank you.

What I was referring to is that they probably do not understand that LLM-type AI is a bubble.

No. I have a Fairphone. No problems with updates.
