So, even with a ship capable of the ridiculous speed of the Parker Solar Probe, around a 61,000 year journey one-way. Pointless science. I hope we divert tax dollars to better things.

It is amazing to think about how few good comedies there where in the 80's and 90's. I can name them on one hand across 20 years of movies. Basically, most comedies suck. Why make something that has a high chance of sucking - especially now making a Hollywood movie is far more expensive than it used to be.

LOL

I am old enough to remember when developers used these sites.

Wow, I sure do how they work out this conundrum that will make no difference to anything or anyone at all ... and fast!

At what point does something no longer classify as News? I am thinking a story analyzed on every AI YouTube channel for the last month shouldn't be taking up my feed on /.

So, um, facetime is detecting when we are naked and acting on that - with code written by an intern supervising AI-written code. What could possibly go wrong. lol.

How did Slashdot fall to the point where this makes the cut.

Given Typescript is just a glorified lint for JavaScript. JS is really so far ahead

Great ... that's all we need, French balloons in space.

True ... If you want the old hard to use UI, lack of software anyone uses, and to pay double the price, I would go Mac every time.

This is nonsense "Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people". I can tell you from personal experience, I have seen massive layoffs at companies with skyrocketing profits and high output. Companies hire when they NEED people, that's it. And if AI replaced the need, then it replaces the people.

That isn't how the law works. And that is why every lawsuit so far has failed miserably. AI isn't reproducing the works word for word, it is learning patterns from them, and making up it's own words from all the texts combined. It isn't copywrite violation for me to read everything on a topic, and write my own book in my own words. I don't even need to cite sources unless I copy word-for-word or use a single source of that rare fact/theory/data - and AI will already cite those where needed. Citing isn't violating copywrite either. All that aside ... good luck hiring school-funded lawyers to fight in court against Google and Microsoft and IBM and OpenAI and Meta. Let us know how that works out. :)

I disagree with this "almost all business-specific problems are unknown to outsiders." ... from 40+ years as a professional developer, I can tell you 99% of coding is the same problems solved over and over again. There is very little new about what a business needs to do with software. If anything.

Correction... 99% of Texan drivers in Austin. Big difference.
