Ok, but I've never heard anyone else have so many problems and frankly, personal anecdotes don't really prove a thing. Driverless taxis don't have to be perfect to get regulatory approval.

Waymo has problems, too, they're in the news all the time. And yet they are approved in a for driverless in a few markets largely because they got started earlier.

But they can't scale, and their prices are triple because they foolishly depended on expensive sensors so I wouldn't bet on them winning longer term.

This.

Culturally it would have been a big shift, even given the talent they have, but they just don't have the courage of leadership it would have taken to do this. It's been 60+ years since IBM had that, when they bet the company on the 360. The PC doesn't count; that was essentially a side project for IBM. They didn't create the hardware or software for it, and the companies future wasn't riding on it.

It's a part of their business, but not a majority of it, even before AI. They've added AI coprocessors to their Telum CPUs for their Z series platform, but it's not a significant player in the world of AI money. More of a checkbox me-too thing that probably will be of use for legacy customer applications, but no one is building data centers full of Telums to compete with OpenAIAnthropticGoogleEtc.

We know AI will crash and bloggers telling us AI will crash is useless.

Bloggers telling us WHEN AI will crash is useful.

So pray let us know which bloggers have done that, and what date they have set.

THEN we can see who are the geniuses, and who are the charlatans.

Everyone is worried about securing memory since AI servers are hoovering up a huge amount, plus all the spending on AI capex for data centers in general. This is all going to crash soon; Ed Zitron has the receipts at his blog: https://www.wheresyoured.at/le...

Practically speaking, this means that small perturbations in the supply chain pricing will have huge downstream effects. IBM's stock price is one of the first hints at what is to come.

Never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake.

I keep hearing things like "my grandmother got so confused, I set her up on Zorin/Mint and she couldn't tell the difference."

The more people just use their PC's to get on websites the less they seem to notice if they use Windows or Linux.

Where in the article does it make that claim?

If you're talking about the implication in the headline, I took it as a brag about having a very large pipeline to mint new billionaires, possibly the largest. As in it doesn't matter. They're not wrong.

From the other end, being the destination for a bunch of rich people moving in doesn't really mean shit. My experience from the New England area is that being the place a bunch of rich people from out of state move to just fucks with property taxes and home prices. I mean they're moving there to get away from where they made their money keep more of what they have to themselves, that's sort of the point. I just don't think that's a controversial viewpoint from a place where rich people like to retire to, no matter what side of the aisle you're on.

The other party will promptly run on undoing it again. Is there a joke in there I'm missing, because it's really pretty sad.

Affordable Care Act required everyone working that can afford it to pay for health insurance, which is one way to lower insurance premiums - everyone pays in instead of waiting till something is wrong or they're older. Republicans gutted that part, but left in the parts that required dependent coverage for young adult children and maternity and prenatal care, preexisting conditions etc. That's good and all, but you still need healthy people paying in, insurance doesn't work if you wait until you need it to buy it. Republicans still want to keep the insurance middleman, but .. they don't really have any sort of plan past that, so they just fucked with ACA where they could, and stopped talking about it after .. how long has it been? I'm not sure what the plan is now, save money you poors, you're on your own? Bragging about the best healthcare in the world, well, shouldn't that be more expensive almost by definition then, so I guess the lower classes being unable to afford it was part of the plan all along? That's a sick joke man.

Maybe. I doubt it: Intel seems to have figured out that x86 is not it's exclusive future, a change in corporate mentality that long overdue.

Also, this story must be fake news: Tariffs Don't Work! member?

It is all or nothing. We can't seem to do middle ground, or reasonable. There is plenty of good to be had online and used in the correct manner, but that would require parents to be RESPONSIBLE rather than abdicate to TV or whatever else is handy.

That is not a loan.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I've witnessed exactly this. What's really stupid is you guys think this is just a conservative thing. I've seen this happen in both tech and film (which I don't work in, but I've gotten to know several people who do.) In the film industry, most of that centers around the regulatory regime, a lot of it FilmLA related. What a conservative bunch those filmmakers are, amirite? And that Gavin Newsom warning about this...such a conservative.

One thing you very likely do not realize is how and when economic activity makes geographic shifts. You're living under this strange assumption that California has always been and will always be what it is. Just like Detroit.

I feel like talking to you guys about this subject is like talking to Russians about their special needs military operation. Like them, you only hear what you want to hear. A month ago, I made a post asking them how they're dealing with the fuel rations in Moscow and St Petersburg, they mocked and laughed at me saying there are none. These guys hadn't seen it in their particular neighborhood so they dismissed it as propaganda. Two weeks later, good luck finding any fuel, even in their neighborhoods. Like you, if they don't personally witness it, then it's not happening.

Right now we're very early stage into this. The first thing that needs to happen for a large shift like this infrastructure capex needs to be invested. That's already done. Next is the infrastructure to accommodate it needs to be built. That's what is currently happening.

This is the real answer. A lot of people are afraid of the speech Nazi's that ruin the lives of anyone committing wrongthink. They know the social media companies are moderated by privileged tech weirdos that are protected and immune, and readily bury the people they hate with no consequence. Sane people don't engage with stuff like that.
