Can't they just make more of the ones that used to work and improve that design rather than burning up piles of cash reinventing the wheel, badly apparently.

According to Google, Starliner is a fixed-price contract, so (in theory) they should only get paid for meeting milestones. There's no extra profit to Boeing in dragging this out (again, in theory).

Comment 3 billion people, really? (Score 1) 82

OpenAI Needs At Least $207 Billion By 2030 Just To Keep Losing Money ...
the bank expects OpenAI to reach 3 billion users by decade's end, up from roughly 800 million today

Over 1/3 of the world's population, really? Although, think of how much money OpenAI will have lost by then. /s

The illusion of intelligence evaporates if you use these systems for more than a few minutes.

Using AI effectively requires, ironically, advanced thinking skills and abilities. It's not going to make stupid people as smart as smart people, it's going to make smart people smarter and stupid people stupider. If you can't outthink the AI, there's no place for you.

Comment I've had 3 cell phones ... (Score 2) 164

#1 - Qualcomm QCP-1900, 1998-2015 (17y)
#2 - Kyocera HydroVIBE, 2015-2021 (6y)
#3 - Google Pixel 5a, 2021 - Present (4y, so far)

The Qualcomm was on nTelos (initially PrimeCo) and had to give it up when nTelos in my area was sold to Sprint and they didn't/wouldn't support the phone's spectrum. The Kyocera was on Ting (Sprint) and gave it up when Sprint was bought by T-Mobile and CDMA was deprecated and VoIP required, also Google Play support EOL for KitKat. The Pixel 5a is on Ting (T-Mobile) and I'll probably keep it until forced to get something newer - works great so far.

I'll note that the Kyocera - from 2015 - was IP57 certified *with* a headphone jack and removable battery (along with 32GB MicroSD and SIM) under the removable back w/gasket.
