I can't do that, because my IV infusion pump is USB A, the CO2 monitor is RS485 and the heart monitor is IEEE1284 parallel port.

This is just a timing issue. You can already get every device like mice, keyboards, headsets etc with USB C. If you've never seen one, perhaps you're not getting out enough.

  As for RS485? That's _forty years old_, well done, you're a hipster outlier and that has nothing to do with anyone other than 3 people anymore. Come on, that's just a stupid analogy.

If you want to use decades old tech, congrats, you get a dongle. Stick them on the end of each USB cable/device, they're a few mm long, you won't even notice. I'm still running a motherboard and CPU from 2011. I'm not exactly Gen Z. It would be idiocy for me, or you, or anyone, to be insisting on USB A devices now for no better reason than "well I haven't seen a USB C mouse yet"

(and that's because they're bluetooth - god you're going to be furious when you hear about that)

In case you've not been following tech news for the last year or so, this is a vulnerability of ALL LLMs. It's not like vulnerabilities didn't exist before AI.

I was actually a beta tester for Comet (external, just a privileged user with early access tbh, though I got to talk to their product people). While the browser itself is okay (I stopped using it after a couple of weeks), I was very disturbed by their CEO's attitude toward privacy, with a stated intention to build the most comprehensive view of each user. https://www.bgr.com/tech/perpl...

Not that that's not already Google and Meta's mission plus countless others, but still, disturbing.

The guy is almost 70 and has completely fallen off the radar since he started at Wharton. All his notable work is 25 years ago or so.

I'm not going to waste the time logging everything that's wrong in this, everyone else has already done that. But it is obvious this guy has one lens and views the whole world through that. Thinking you can't pick up company culture or knowledge unless you're physically standing next to your colleagues.

Well, grandad, now we have the information superhighway and the world wide webs and you can read things on your computer now!

Useless fossil.

And there's plenty of remote work in Europe (he says, commenting while remote working in Europe).

Okay, you've read a lot of crap on the internet, but not good stuff and you didn't understand it.

Your sentence simply does not make sense. I don't think you know what some of those words mean. A first year course on philosophy or equivalent will address some of the massive gaps in your knowledge and understanding.

No need to reply, I won't see it.

This is simply incorrect. the ancient greeks, among others, explored the intersection of ethics, logic, philosophy and more in enormous detail.

Do AI algorithms have safeguards in them that value human life? Hard to tell, they're mostly closed systems. Probably yes, by all indications.

Your statement that there is "no way to logic" empathy is just.... well, it makes you look like you read one book on stoicism, didn't understand it, and left it there. There is TONS of material on ethics, philosophy of science, and philosophy itself, if you care to educate yourself.

> Cambridge remains a small city despite biotech breakthroughs that might have transformed it into a major hub.

This is just complete rubbish. I happen to have lived there on and off for 35 years.

The periphery of the city is absolutely TEEMING with new construction - from the massive expansion of Addenbrooke's hospital, to the science centre in the northwest of the city, and huge business projects throughout. I was there last week, and saw a lot of the new developments myself.

This is being done in a better, sustainable way through initiatives like The Quality Charter for Growth and the Cambridgeshire Quality Panel (CQP). The city is a beacon on how this stuff is done well, and extensively. https://preview-cambridgeshire...

Of course, the centre of cambridge has not increased in housing capacity significantly. But it SHOULDN'T, what do they want to do, knock down the centuries-old university buildings to make modern concrete flats? What a wanker for implying that.

This article is written by a halfwit (or a shill paid to lose half their mind) who has an agenda to push against regulation and will lie to push it forward. Bad journalism, low intelligence, and disrespectful to readers. Garbage.

I think that may be a you issue.

I've been coding for 40 years, and professionally for 30, and using tools like this speeds me up a lot, I'd say 25-30% more good code generated at the end of the day. Sometimes to generate code, sometimes to rubberduck or sift through sources for me. Certainly reasoning models are getting better at it. I trust it for low/medium complexity tasks - not blindly. But easily as much as I would a junior.

It doesn't get it 100% right the first time, every time. But if you can't debug it and direct it, that's on you.

It's a new tool, it takes time to learn. Don't get mad at it, learn how to use it.

While a lot of the themes in that resonate with us now, it's important to note that this didn't come from any point of view or understanding of technology at all. Rather this is a really common anthropomorphising of technology driven by fear, primarily of obsolescence. You can look back to the Luddites over 200 years ago, sabotaging machines (and by "machines" here I mean looms and other simple mechanical devices). Attributing Darwinism to non-biological constructs is a push, as well.

The fact we're on the cusp of self-improving machines is practically just coincidence, and while this is a fun curiosity, it's dangerous to feed something historical into current affairs as something prophetic.

Most sci-fi has some kind of doom/danger element to it, and needs to be taken with a large pinch of salt rather than lauded as divination.

Wow, thanks for explaining basic economics to me, I had no idea.

I shan't read anything else you write, you obviously have significantly more time to waste than I do.

You still need to improve.

Improve and don't be so bitter about your own shortcomings.

Wow, check it out, a jock from the 1980s.

Literally in the post "The deal includes a selection of curated content from key YouTube creators."

So you will get access to all the cached/promoted stuff stuck in a harddrive on the plane, and access to anything else will be over the usual plane wifi which will be a bit crap.

You are purchasing a ticket to transport a person. Not a specific number of cubic cm. This is passenger travel, not freight. People can't choose how tall they are or how long their legs are.

Your comment comes across as body shaming, insensitive, and ignorant even for 20 years ago. Improve.

Apple is concentrating on the 99.9% of users who are using AI to make images for their facebook group, to get the weather in a pirate voice, to summarise their messenger updates and other gimmicks. Apple are not going to be interested in the 0.1% who run their own ollama server, who want to make use of their own data (or care about the privacy of it), and so forth. We're not their target audience.

That aside, the "app store model"/system hooks you suggest is a terrible idea from Apple's perspective - that would give them almost no control over the user experience while rolling out the biggest feature in years. Apple wants to control the experience and deliver something that seems worth a high price tag.
