This is the purpose of regulation, to provide incentives and disincentives that reshape markets to reduce harms being done to people.

Your reaction is funny one because you pretend as if it's never happened before. Give it some thought and you'll realize your mistake.

I love everything about this but don't get me wrong, it's not because I think it's a good idea. On the surface this seems like it's the future but really it's the single dumbest proposal to come out about AI-based programming. Assuming you make a language that avoids the possibility of creating syntax/structural flaws, it's the inability to scrutinize the underlying code that will bite you, The result is a lower ability to debug code and will end up obscuring security flaws which will make the jobs of criminals easier.

I love this idea because I know the second a company using this crap gets bitten it's going to be an extremely expensive problem the fix, more costly than if they had just paid normal programmers to write the code originally and may actually force entire programs to be rewritten. This basically ensures that if it gets off the ground that it's going to self-destruct and every company who invested in this idiocy will suffer financial losses.

What's not to love about idiots getting their just deserts?

We know about the politicians but what were you saying about the laws? ;)

Well that strikes me a huge mistake. I would 100% move to a *nix setup if only for reliability purposes.

Does this mean that platforms will no longer be allowed to block links to competing platforms? I have seen this plenty where you will get post taken down and then be punished for posting a link to a competing platform or encouraging people to switch.

It's basically Boston Dynamics' "Spot" robot (a so-called "robot dog" platform) with wheels in place of "paws".

Long hauls need to stop being a thing. There are multiple issues but the biggest is that pollution compared to freight trains is much higher because the energy efficiency is much lower. If reducing the amount of deaths in the "far off" future is too abstract for you then consider the number of collisions with big rigs that kill people annually. If you're just a jerk, then consider that it will significantly reduce the number of highway repairs needed and thus save a lot of money while reducing traffic.

That's how big rigs should be used. If it has to go a long distance then it should be by train. Freight trains are no utopia but perfect is the enemy of good.

I 100% agree with your point but I also have to wonder, is it a bad thing? This strikes me as a way to make the browser able to fund itself while actually doing some good for people.

The answer lies in what they do next: squander the funds (seems likely) or make real improvements.

QEmu is the end-all be-all of emulated systems. It's basically, the Linux of emulation.

While I use it mostly by command line, there are many GUI frontends for QEmu. "Aqemu" is the one I know off the top of my head which is decent. I don't think it has the ability to use the snapshot API, so if you need that then you may need to find another GUI or modify it yourself.

It would appear that people are personally finding out that AI is overhyped.

The real problem here is that businesses are overly focused on profits which leads to homogeneous environments that rely on specific products and product-specific integration. It's much wiser to hedge your bets with a more diverse environment in preparation for a product to be unavailable, be it discontinued, "upgraded", or bought. Being forward-thinking isn't free which is why profit-centric businesses won't do it.

TL;DR: Monoculture results in bad outcomes like this "death sentence"; invest in diversity.

If you're still using VMWare then you really only have yourself to blame at this point. Don't get me wrong, Broadcom is being a dick but it's not like it's been a secret. Whoever is still using them has simply ignored that the ship was sinking.

There are many different reasons why.
* it is a challenge
* it is a fun idea
* nostalgia
* to learn more about how Windows works
* to run/preserve old Windows software
* to make an alternative to Windows
* to improve WINE (they share a lot of code)
* etc.

If they do take all the jobs then that means AI has actually become AGI. If that happens then all bets are off because AGI is a Pandora's box and the last thing you need to worry about is doing your shitty 9-to-5 job.

It doesn't matter because it will still be less polluting than any ICEV on the road. Perfect is the enemy of good. You must not be very clever if you still hadn't figured that out.
