Talk about trying to close the barn doors after the horse has bolted! You're only waiting until there are a gillion datacenters going up to talk? Oh wait, no, it's not that at all because fuck the environment, right?

See, it's all about losing the certainty that people like him have been afforded in life. Frankly, I hope they lose total control of the situation and are forced to shut everything down, only to be faced with the dire consequences of their actions. Fuck all the people that don't give a fuck until it could possibly impact them because they are the same assholes who want tax breaks and think empathy is a weakness.

Significant increases in pay will draw more people to join the field. Will it take time? Yes but it is how you get more people. However, if it were truly exponential then you would get people coming from other countries. It can be done, if you have the money.

While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.

If only there was some way to process these flammable batteries in a way that their components could be reused again for batteries, like some sort of cycle that goes again and again, a "recycle" if you will.

I dunno, I'm just spitballing here.

Mathematicians invented imaginary numbers because they refused to admit they were wrong which logically means that AI will invent hallucinated numbers to explain why they gave a non-sense answer to a basic math question.

That's fine because now everyone should be getting an EV which solves the engine reliability issue.

I want lots of things but I choose what I get. People need to take some responsibility for what they buy.

Those are ancillary luxury features that are not critical to driving. You have eyes, don't you?

is spoiled.

I'm wondering if this is for the one of the graphics cards he uses for AI.

I waited a LONG time for Microsoft to screw up Notepad but they did it. For some reason, they seemed very resistant to screw up the task manager but I see now that they are finally moving in the right direction! The last step is for them to add a "let Co-pilot manage my processes" button for the enshitification to be complete! I believe in Microsoft's ability to intentionally harm their users. Don't disappoint me MS!

Touch screen in particular are a bad idea as they require you look at them. However, decked out entertainment systems only serve to distract the driver from the task at hand.

LOL! NONE of those rely on something as finicky as DDR memory.

Those aren't part of what make the car operate but rather an add-on. I have an old Garmin GPS device with updated map data in my car and it works fine.

That's fine, I have no problem with ECUs. The problem I have is these idiotic and distracting entertainment systems. Conflating the two does not help your argument.

I didn't mean the literal physical size but the computation power and expansive (and poorly tested) firmwares. If you want to bicker about using more precise language then I would point out that I correctly pointed out that they have mass.

I am aware of this and that it takes a minimal amount of computing to run the entire car which is done on a robust MCU. Considering I drive an EV, that computing power could be even lower because it's distributed to individual components which means the ECU does only slightly more than manage communications and driver input. The total number of tasks do not need much memory or computation power. I'm not joking when I say that it can be managed using an 20MHz 8-bit MCU with 64KB of flash memory and 2KB of RAM.

The issue is that DDR4 production is winding down and thus the price for that is also inflated. To compound matters, which RAM types they can use is dependent on the CPU being used. This isn't an simple fix and they contract out all the work for the car entertainment systems.

I think they will simply adapt an existing designs for a few years until DDR5 become obtainable since a new RAM production factory is expected to open in 2028.

That overhead whoosh wasn't from a Pinto exploding, it was the joke flying over your head.
