Certainly is a creepy level of hero worship that I find offputting.

But I can understand trepidation over transitioning from a leader who was a founder, there before anyone would have had any reason other than actually wanting the mission to work out to be interested. To a scenario where whichever shark makes it through the frenzy to head the second largest company in the world... The sorts of people that manage to get in charge of big money businesses generally are not the sort of folks interested in the actual mission...

Note that this all is around the Compaq BIOS case, and a part that keeps getting glossed over is the finding that the part being protected, the ABI interface, was not substantial enough for protection.

Software that is more substantial beyond just ABI/API is likely to be considered differently.

Note if it documents the full code body and translates that back into code, that may be treated differently. The BIOS documentation covering inputs and outputs, but not how those things are processed are one thing, but if it is a full prose description of the execution steps of a function, well that's different. In short, the LLM is likely to carry over the substance of the implementation in the prose, and break the whole promise of 'clean room'.

While true, mixing up 'reign' and 'rein' is a pretty non-LLM move. We see the words as very similar, but token wise they don't have anything to do with each other, though maybe muddied by copying human mistakes.

In the man page I see:

RETURN VALUE
              On success, a pointer to the hashed password is returned. On
              error, NULL is returned.

Yeah, crypt() *should* return a NULL pointer, *not* some arbitrary string when there's a fault. Entirely musl's bug.

I would hardly call profit taking when a big gain is *guaranteed* a "moron" move.

At some point it really will be the top of the market.

Besides, it's less about performance and more about investor sentiment. You are predicting the other humans level of investment, *not* the financial health of the company, unless you are in it for the dividends of course, but relatively fewer people are thinking dividends. The market value of those projections are already baked into the price today.

But even by the standard of financial results, the projections are subject to change. If some of the neoclouds fold up, then the projections evaporate.

On the ATM card, it's about cost reduction.

On the PC side, it is, fundamentally, a platform that emphasizes flexibility versus mobile that screws flexibility while locking down. So it's mainly about how far a malware could get running against the wishes of the device operator, rather than what a user could do to misbehave. I'm not taking the trade-off, but there is at least a rationale.

More to the point, for them to have the authority to even theoretically facilitate such volumes of transfer, regardless of software compromises...

Given the way big publishers have already made games a cesspool of microtransactions, online-only operation even for single player experience.... Retro game interest is *long* overdue.

AI slop is merely the latest 'slop' in an industry long rotting.

I'm waiting for Super Intelligence II Turbo: Hyper Fighting Championship Edition.

The Duo is a low-volume product. I'm not here to defend Apple, but honestly, bypassing AI until it's useful is a great idea. The M* processor family handily bypass much supply chain nonsense, and iPhones are still selling like donuts on a Saturday morning.

Add in cheap laptops, tablets, phones, watches, international distribution, preferential US administration favor, and Apple is nicely poised to ride out the coming storms.

But good times don't sell headlines. If it bleeds, it leads.

And truly, I'm no fan of theirs. I left the Apple cabal eight years ago, now living in LinuxLand, for better and sometimes worse.

The CEO sees other tech companies getting giant boosts and is pissed that isn't him. Line going up for other companies more than his.

When in doubt, blind alignment to the hype of the day should, potentially get there. No room for nuance or actual vision to what would capture the indicated missing value, AI should just provide it... somehow.

Why the hell bother using an AI when you could just type what you would prompt into the comment directly?

To the point you put into the LLM, it's perfectly plausible that someone wiring up an LLM to their email and their bank account suddenly are at huge risk of a scam working. Whatever problems exist in the technical implementations the fact remains that folks greasing the wheels for their money to go out autonomously incur the risk of..... their money going out autonomously...

Well the answer is of course they are out of touch and I don't actually have a 'right question', I just wanted to fit in.
