Do elaborate?

I wasn't "taught" it by anybody, just like you were never "taught" how to spell. But slavery exists in modern-day Western society, just as human trafficking still exists.

Nah, I'm pretty sure this one's a robot. But it's a robot that's purpose-built to run a half-marathon. Huh? What's the utility of that? And somebody's going to have to convince me that it's not remote controlled.

Put it to you this way: You know what else can beat a human in a marathon? A car.

Uh-huh.

Even supposing you are right (which you are not), it's not much of a badge of honor to end something you started.

Pretty much sums it up.

The yields are much higher, and the number of warheads is insane, but there are only so many targets. Should the worst come to pass, there will be a lot of overlap, devastated areas hit multiple times. Also, a lot of these will be aimed at mostly empty space where the silos live, in order to stop the enemy from second / third strikes. I think the idea that everyone will launch everything all at once is just not likely.

Perhaps, but PCoIP was a specialized protocol aimed mostly at niche markets. Graphics production for Hollywood movies was one, where leaks of pre-released materials could sink the whole project. With PCoIP, you can distribute your graphics work across multiple independent studios, and none of them actually keeps any of the assets on their own machines. They're essentially doing their high-res graphics work on thin clients.

Another market was testing for higher education, for similar security reasons. People try to cheat on tests all kinds of ways.

Teradici always kind of struggled to market PCoIP, though, because their primary "product" was really just a protocol. Their model was to license it to other companies, who then used it to build bespoke solutions for clients. There was a bunch of intellectual property behind it, but not everybody could see the value. They even considered open-sourcing it, but I don't think they were ever serious enough to get someone to consult them on how they could do that and still preserve the licensing revenue.

(Full disclosure: I spent about a year helping Teradici with PR.)

He planned at losing, but being the colossal loser he is...he accidentally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He's such a loser he can't even lose right.

Do you people even listen to yourselves?

I think the idea is to keep shitting out 4.X releases until openai releases GPT-6, at which point anthropic will release whatever version of "mythos" they have mostly working that day as Opus 5.0 on the same day, or the next. They'll probably claim it's so operful they're skipping 5 and just calling it Opus 6 for marketing reasons

There was a backwards compatiblity break in Linux USB support too, but in general new Linux OS releases don't move everything around because the UI is independent from the kernel.

This. And note the headlines for what afaict is the same product. For Meta they are enabling sexual predators. For Apple they are ... making style and design choices?

Go always seemed like something of a niche language to me. Some DevOps folks, and especially people working on cloud-native infrastructure like Docker and Kubernetes, and the tools designed to run on top of them, seemed to love it. I never really heard of it catching on outside that niche, though (except within Google).

Correct. The TIOBE index is currently compiled from results from 25 search engines. You see this in the way the rankings bounce around each time they report them, seemingly with no meaningful explanation. That's why TIOBE always has been and always will be a crappy indicator of which languages are the most used ... especially now that more people are using AIs instead of standard search engines to ask their questions.

However, the index looks like statistics, which makes it attractive to journalists who cover tech. That means it's useful for getting TIOBE's name in the press. (TIOBE is a software quality measuring company),

Everything 365. Literally.
