Thanks for the heads up. I almost wore my new glasses, tie clip, name badge, hat band, and smiley face button on my way to the parking lot. It would have been a huge waste of time since the ship has already sailed.
Good luck with that.
This is the biggest "generational divider" I see rapidly creeping up over the last 5-10 years: People want "The Bag" but don't want to put in the effort to get it.
I am not seeing it in my students or not more than in the last 30 years. But these are all advanced (and the weak ones have already washed out), I am teaching in Europe and I am teaching subjects that are known to be more difficult (IT security) and that are elective. So my view may be skewed.
If they manage to keep afloat a bit longer, there may be nothing left that could be used to bail them out.
The Chinese ones are subsidized, they are hit with tariffs.
Unfortunately the web site doesn't specify which of the pseudo-solid-state technologies it uses.
I noticed that too. This is likely Li-Ion with some claims as to better safety. Which may simply be lies. Would not be the first time.
That is insightless nonsense. No surprise this is coming from you though.
Well, we will see. But it really is only timing that could still save things to some degree. And timing is hard to predict.
Probably not. It would require Nürnberg-style prosecution and punishments for the perpetrators, and those include the voters that voted for this shit-show. Otherwise, everybody will just expect them to do it again and US trade and investment from abroad will never recover.
Yep. It really pisses me off and freaks me out that we've let so many grifters take over.
It is generally the last stage before an empire collapses. The current US regime is doing its best to accelerate that process. And there are still a ton of mindless idiots that cheer this onwards.
Some FOSS projects have forgotten that, some are too underfunded to do it, bit there really is no way around it. LLM-type AI just has made that more obvious.
This revolution, looks to replace the human mind.
Yes. Or at least it gets marketed as such and people are generally too dumb to understand that this claim really is 95% hot air.
In any case, this makes things fundamentally different. And to reach that 20% unemployment (which may indeed be enough), this tech does not even need to deliver. It just needs to be around long enough and too many utterly dumb C-levels need to believe the lies. Ido not think we will see that this time though, the business numbers are too abysmally bad and we see more and more of the limitations of LLMs becoming hard to ignore. They may have 2-3 years left. Or not. But next time may be different.
Exactly. And they may succeed. No idea why Sanders thinks this is a good idea though.
You are not wrong.
He knows he is due for a catastrophic business failure quite soon. Being partially publicly owned would give him access to taxpayer money...
The other line moves faster.
