I never said I have a problem with Intel pursuing AI nor did I say that such a thing would be new. My objection is that the CEO just said (for the first time that I'm aware) that Intel is shifting focus from their core business, consumer chips, to make their AI chips a higher priority.

CFO David Zinsner said Intel is prioritizing AI server chips over consumer processors.

I just sold my shares, largely because of this news. They're shifting focus away from the one market they still have a decent grasp in order to chase a market that will likely severely diminish in the next five years or so. Many companies that are working on AI algorithms will likely create their own silicon specifically for their algorithms. Tesla already does this and many more companies have stated their intentions to do the same. This is beyond foolish and is likely the result of greed over sense.

you have a very tiny number of people living okay a very very very tiny number of people living like gods

I don't care as long as that very very very very tiny number of people have the correct letter next to their names. That's how we know we're winning! -- John Q. Public

10%? Wait until he hears that Apple demands 30% of revenue!

That's true, but those people could be charged with criminal offenses. You'd be far less likely to face criminal charges for blocking a bunch of vehicles.

Waymo will fix this issue no doubt

Well, people have been complaining about this exact problem on these specific streets for a year or longer. Since you didn't specify a timeline, your statement will only be false if all human life is extinguished and Waymos are still getting stuck down this road, but in the meantime what the fuck is taking so long? You can be damned sure that this wouldn't be going on if any Waymo executives lived on one of these streets.

I am sure they dont want their cars wasting time and energy looping around in a dead-end street

And yet the problem has persisted for at least a year.

Even though they have driven of millions of miles, a Waymo vehicle has never killed anyone in an at-fault accident

This is largely due to the fact that they don't travel at speeds likely to cause fatalities. Don't get me wrong, it's the responsible thing to do while the technology is being developed, but it's a different story when self-driving cars are traveling at highway speeds where they have far less time to make life-or-death decisions and the speed involved is far more likely to result in a fatality.

In San Francisco, around 40 people are murdered in traffic accidents every year

"Murdered" is a bit of a strong word, especially when you state you're referring to an "accident".

Self driving technology is needed to save lives, and yes improve the economy (I've explained how 1 million times but it won't seed in you clowns).

People are capable of supporting self-driving technology while simultaneously being frustrated with Waymo's complete lack of ability or willingness to fix problems that have persisted for over a year. These are certainly not mutually exclusive.

For all of the people worried about having a wall wart available that is compatible with a particular country's outlets, the prevalence of USB-C will probably increase the number of outlets that contain USB-C ports. And now that I think about it, since those ports can access the data bus, that may not necessarily be a good thing when using public outelts. The USB-C port on my phone broke from regular use and I'm due for a new phone. After recently learning that government goons are increasingly using hacking software to break into phones of U.S. citizens (Fourth Amendment be damned), I may purposely break the USB-C port on my next phone and continue to rely exclusively on wireless charging.

Some teachers have attempted to neutralize the meme by saying it themselves.

Nothing kills a fad faster than "old" people doing it. Make it as awkward as possible.

Did they ever catch that rogue engineer who wrote the Dieselgate code, surreptitiously planted it into the repository, cancelled the orders of the urea injectors, changed the assembly line to omit installation of the urea injectors, and modified the owner manual and full service manual to remove all references to the urea injectors? I bet it was the same guy that actually killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

I know I'll get downmodded to oblivion for complimenting Rust, but this is one of my favorite aspects about it. Cargo automatically downloads all of the dependencies recursively and builds everything in a single command. It does this in the same manner that most other modern languages have supported by default.

Spotify recently alleged that one of my band's albums was on a playlist designed to have bot listeners boost plays. The problem is that anyone can add songs to a playlist, and despite the fact that we didn't do it they're treating us as guilty until proven innocent. They fined us more money than we ever made from that album and the fine will be deducted from our total earnings. Also, that album is now banned on Spotify and the only way to get it back on there is to re-record it so that it doesn't get recognized by their algorithms. The worst part is that I'm not aware of anything we can do to prevent incidents like this from happening with our other albums, other than removing all of our music. As much as I can't stand them, if you're not on Spotify it's very difficult for new listeners to consistently discover you. But since this is a hobby for us, it's probably worth it to leave based on principle alone rather than put up with their abuse.

If you want to make money in the music industry, the last person you want to be is the person making the music.

Every authoritarian regime needs a circus to entertain and distract the people from all of the fuckery. With Trump, he's both the authoritarian and the clown.

Russia is doing everything it can to escalate itself into WWIII. Unfortunately, it makes sense from Putin's perspective since the only thing propping up Russia's economy, and thus his tenure in power, is war.

Now all I have to do is provide my bank account details and let them deduct whatever they want - they seem like a competent and trustworthy bunch!
