And let's not overlook that this is yet another attempt by the AI lobby to convince the public that AI "thinks," and even has the same concerns that human workers do. Which it doesn't. But the more the public believes that these algorithms are comparable to human intelligence, the better it is for all the people who keep pouring money into this bubble.
Forget legal power
Hah, good to know. I almost wrote "F350" because they're the most egregious "luxury commercial trucks", but 150s are so much more common I went with that instead. Luckily they have plenty of carrying capacity for all that regret.
Oh, I know. It's a very thin lining.
Or maybe there needs to be way more EVs that are pickup trucks and SUVs that people can actually afford.
Pickups and SUVs are already subsidized out the ass by getting to skirt emissions and safety laws due to being "light truck commercial vehicles". This bullshit fantasy has persisted for decades even as they've become far and away the highest selling commuter and passenger vehicles in the US.
Maybe if people had to start paying the real price of these gas guzzling murder machines they'd be more interested in a reasonable EV or hybrid sedan or minivan. The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears.
On the contrary, evidence seems to suggest that AI has long been very good at generating zero-day vulnerabilities. It has a little more trouble with identifying and avoiding them.
Heh, back when I was a wee college freshman in the before times, one of my first jobs was helping a delivery company implement a new trial computer logging system for their trucks. Cadec. It had a steel computer terminal mounted on the dash with an LED display and numeric keypad and a slot for a large steel cartridge that contained the memory for the log. The truckers took the cartridges in the morning and handed them back in at night. I then downloaded the data to the, ONE, PC the delivery company had for logging and printing the nightly reports. That lasted just under 10 months when 80% of the systems broke the speedometers/tachometers in the trucks. Because they had spliced in the analog sensors to the cables... by design.
I looked it up. Asus's fiscal year is January through December (same as the calendar year).
It would be interesting if you could bring it into your basement in the winter and heat your house for free - that does start to make a little more sense.
I remember when virtualization was the new hot thing roughly 20 years back and VM ware was aquired by some big corp, instantly turned to shit and the FOSS crowd started pushing out VM solutions to counter the problem.
They got bought by EMC, which at the time was a Dell company. Then they got acquired by Dell directly. Then they got spun off as their own company, which lasted a year or two before Broadcom snapped them up. Through the whole ordeal, they were sustained mainly by a combination of legit vendor lock-in and people just drinking the Kool-Aid.
COO: "I'm fed up with Broadcom's ridiculous price hikes! We need to get off VMware like yesterday!"
CTO: "But where will I get my headaches, proprietary tools, and vendor lock-in? Hmmmmmm...."
Actually, mainframes give you a level of reliability and other things you basically get nowhere else. But the cost is high. Even big banks only use them for critical things.
Sure, but we're talking about organizations that have already successfully deployed on VMware. If they didn't need all this massive transactional integrity and twelve-nines uptime back then, they don't now.
But knowing the industry-standard tools might make the education pay off a little better.
"But what we need to know is, do people want nasally-insertable computers?"
