Comment Re: Apple was the dumbest (Score 3, Informative) 130

My guess is they knew they needed to seed this to developers, but they knew there would be a black market where the public would want it. So they set the price high enough to cover initial costs, let the public get their hands on it, but then create time for the devs to come up with killer apps. I think the lack of a marketing and advertising presence shows Apple isnâ(TM)t pushing Vision as hard as they could.

Iâ(TM)m sure we are going to see cheaper and refined versions of Vision in the coming years, and those are the ones they have the potential to take off.

My laptop has absolutely no indicators other than a single one that lights white when it is charging and amber when the battery is critaclly low. With an SSD you can't even rely on the sound of the drive spinning to tell you it's doing something.

I use Glances to keep on top of memory and CPU useage and to monitor the tempurature sensors. I also run Wavemon to monitor network IO.

These two applications occupy the bottom half of my "Engineering" workspace (yes, my workspaces are Star Trek themed) and both can be run in an SSH session to see wtf is going on if the display becomes unresponsive.

Comment Re:Can't be radiation sickness in the technical se (Score 1) 177

Because the story is obvious bullshit along with 90% of the reporting about this war. Maybe the Ghost of Kiev gave them the radiation poisoning via a Cuban Sonic Death Ray, while they were running out of missiles due to the Havana Syndrome and were vulnerable because they were mourning the death of Putin who's been replaced by a body double in order to spread lies about there being Nazis in Ukraine... Americans will believe anything.

Completely agree here- I've used ChatGPT to answer some specific questions I've had, and then verified the answers through traditional search. ASSUMING that ChatGPT is giving me accurate answers, the ability to ask a question and just get the direct answer without having to go through other websites will be HUGE. It will also have a massive impact on those websites that thrive on traffic from Google: I imagine Stack Exchange takes a hit as developers start to query Bing with development questions. And then if Bing becomes the place to get easy answers to your questions, then the sites that are generating the data ChatGPT uses will see a drop in traffic, and that results in less data to train ChatGPT for future answers. We're about to enter a new, thorny area... it excites me the way I was excited when Google first came on the stage.

Comment Can't stop the older stuff from getting out. (Score 5, Informative) 91

People were freaking out about FPGAs, microcontrollers, etc. that were in some of these drones. Fact is most (all?) of it was older & EOL things that you can find on Ali Express and other sites for peanuts.

There's no way to stop the recyclers from selling the parts off.
