The EU is about to pass the digital safety act where the OS (including Linux) will have to verify your identity on log-in. To do this, since all things PC are American, including OS, the Netherlands will sell to an American company DigiID and Mijn Overheid, the software we use to do our taxes and much more.

So, all of you EU cheerleaders here...pathetic and uninformed you are....pathetic!

"AI" has been replacing these jobs for years. When's the last time you had to go to a travel agent, no you just use Google Flights and book direct like anyone else with half a brain. Same with vacuum cleaner salesmen.

Also I long for the day where Karens get sent to AI, anyone who has ever worked retail sees that as a utopian future.

AI would do a better job than most CEOs that are out there at this point. Look at Ford, or HP, or just about any other company that grew large on good products that have dropped the ball on innovation and understanding that they lose business by being horribly short sighted.

You don't see the problem that is looking at you and seeing a world where you won't have a job and where most people will end up homeless. When businesses can use AI to replace people all across the company, that means...fewer jobs. The only people who do well at that point are those at the top of the economic ladder. It's not just the low level jobs that will always be replaced by automation, it's the low, middle, and even high end jobs that may go away. There won't be a need to "learn AI" when the wealthy can just pay for AI tools that will eliminate the need to code in the first place. When everyone is unemployed, only the wealthy who don't need to work ANYWAY will do well, and they don't care about those who are unemployed. Government is owned by the wealthy as well, so government won't care about the 80% of the population who are unemployed. When have you heard Republicans(or most Democrats) care about those out of work or down on their luck?

You misunderstand what MANAGEMENT is doing when it comes to jobs. AI as a job aid, AI doesn't or wouldn't bother most people, it is when AI is being used to replace people entirely, and the quality of what AI comes up with is poor where people are against AI.

Will....maybe, not necessarily better, and those robots, where does the power come from when the AI data centers are pulling all available power from the grid?

Same thing happens with humans.

It's worth figuring out what your threat model is. There probably are ways that some government agencies can get into iPhones or decrypt these messages, and they probably are collecting all the encrypted data in case quantum computers can decrypt it later.

But are they going to waste any of that on you? Unless you are a high value target for them, and unless they intend to avoid any judicial process where their capabilities might become public, they probably aren't going to use their best tools to help the local cops break into your phone.

The industrial revolution saw a huge shift of workers from agriculture to factories. Transitions are always hard, and factory working conditions were not always the best. Still, over the course of a generation or two, the industrial revolution lead to a huge increase in the average standard of living.

AI has exactly this potential. We are still in the very early days, seeing some of the initial pains of transition. However, the potential of an equally huge shift is definitely there.

That's what OpenCL is.

OpenCL

There's a small performance hit because OpenCL runs on any GPU, whereas CUDA is tuned only for Nvidia GPUs.

I'm not sure why this is modded Funny. It should be modded Insightful.

Modern AI is pretty good at rewriting CUDA as OpenCL.

It's not just one click (yet), but AI can do 90% of the work with some human guidance.

AI can also create a test suite to verify that the translation is correct.

"Bureaucratic slip-up allows facility under construction to delay paying for water bill for several months. Coincidentally, facility happens to be a data center."

Those "271 zero days" in Firefox turned into 3 in in the patch-notes and only one was "high" severity. There is a lot of lying in the LLM field.

Well, an LTS kernel only lives so long and that is a problem. Maybe they should so a sort-of extreme LTS that gets security patches for 20 years and then drop all the old drivers from newer kernels.

I've heard the music that AI can produce. The run of the mill one hit pop stars are seriously endangered, but probably not actual musicians for fans with any level of sophistication (admittedly a smaller market).
