If an artist uses a song writer, has plastic surgery, uses musical instruments... They should all have to disclose this.

Velvet Sundown is no different than when a studio assembles a group of four boys, pays songwriters, dance choreographers, makeup artists, musicians, etc...

An artist sat down, used AI as an instrument and made music.

I get much better results than you. As a substitute university computer science lecturer, I also get much better results from my students than other lecturers. I'll share my secret.

Expect your subordinates to misinterpret you unless you provide enough details to that it's impossible to provide any result except what you were expecting.

I receive exceptionally good results most every time. It takes extra work to get started, but as with anything you get out what you put in.

I wonder why Slashdot isn't publicizing that. She showed up at the airport, followed directions, boarded the plane, and flew... High up in the air. So high they had to use a plane with a pressurized cabin.

The flight was extra impressive because she's a girl. And it's always more impressive so we can say that "to all the little girls of the world, when you grow up, you can accomplish great things and let the world ignore everything else except that you're a girl. So, it's best to only do easy things like flying on a BO rocket rather than studying hard and working hard because the press doesn't reward hard work. They hype that you're impressive for being a girl".

Is it because she straight and white? Would Slashdot publicize her accomplishment if she was a different skin color or maybe a new and unexplainable sexual orientation?

Wait!!!

Great idea for Bezos. Space hookup trips. There are lots of things that are illegal on earth. He can facilitate those things by bringing rich people to space.

I was thinking precisely this.
Rewriting code in a new language might give better static code analysis, but, it doesn't make it safe.
I have a lot of application code I can translate to Rust, but unless I completely rearchitect all of it, it would be terrible Rust code.

I did however just revisit Rust. I wrote a simple CNC milling code generator. I explicitly told it how I want it structured. Copilot handled it nicely. I could maybe see myself vibe coding a useful tool with it. But I HATE abbreviations like pub, fn, and mut. And f64 feels like single letter naming. The language might be structurally elegant, but it's awkward and tacky... Like as if you're hoping to take with "James Robert Paddington II" and the phone gets answer by "Jim Bob Jr." Or "J.R. Jr.. Junior Junior... Get it?".

So Rust is kind of a language Jeff Foxworthy could make a standup routine out of.

Wouldn't China footing the bill for R&D and proving the tech viable potentially be a major benefit to everyone else?

Companies like Huawei can quickly, reliably and affordably deploy renewables across any country who wants to benefit from China's taking the lead. You should see their data center tech. Trade restrictions forced Huawei to innovate amazingly for power and cooling. They're like, if we need 10 Chinese GPUs to math one NVidia GPU, we'll have to invent data center tech to support it. The have end to end tech solutions from diverting divers to solar and battery and waste heat recycling and carbon capture.

The UK could never do this. The british government sabotages every major project as soon as they find how to line their wallets from it.

Do you believe that anyone exists who is a better fit for the job?

They would
1) Need to control inflation so people can shop
2) Cause inflation so mortgages become more affordable over time which results in equity and retirement funds
3) Strengthen investor faith in American credit so investors will continue to buy bonds and feed the economy. This is done by increasing the interest rate.
4) Lower the interest rate to reduce burdens on the people
5) Strengthen the dollar so the US can avoid issuing too many treasury bonds during trade deficits
6) Weaken the dollar so American inflation remains low while exporting exports remain affordable enough to attract customers.
7) Able to work with the major branches of the US government where generally everyone is hostile because he has to screw voters of both parties daily to keep the economy afloat.
8) Able to work with reserve representatives in 200 countries to maintain the balance of the economies. This includes Russia and even Iran.

But, would I be correct that you know someone ... Maybe even yourself who would be a better fit for the job?

I smoke a pack a day. I haven't looked at a cigarette pack in years because the EU passed laws requiring grotesque images to be printed on the packs, but my guess is that there is a warning somewhere on the pack telling me that if I choose to smoke, it will hurt me.

I believe banning Deepseek from the store is contradiction and a violation of my liberties. I don't believe the government has the right to ban me from harming myself in their eyes.

First, I seriously doubt Meike Kamp is informed enough to make decisions on my behalf. I do feel he has the right to attempt to warn me of the dangers as he perceives them. I also believe his job should make him pressure Deepseek to operate using EU laws while operating in the EU.

That said, if I believe the rewards outweigh the risks, then I want the option to use Deepseek.

Also, privacy is long dead. I also distrust the Chinese government less than the Trump or Modi governments. If you ban Chinese apps, you should also ban Americsn apps and operating systems.

Anyone with an actual computer science degree should be ok. However, most universities don't teach computer science anymore. They teach IT or programming.

Computer scientists are taught how to think and problem solve. They are mathematicians and sometimes physicists with keyboards.

The applied computer skills like Cyber Security never belonged in the university except as an add-on.

My daughter starts her summer internship on Monday. The largest university in this country has a total of 9 students in entering their third year studying CSEE in the physics department. Every one of them are being attacked with extremely good offers by companies begging for their education. By comparison, thousands are studying applied computing such as programming and cybersec and only 60% of this year's graduates are likely to find jobs.

I've actively looked to Japan and China for alternatives as I don't trust American ability to deliver. They are far too overextended. And Israel... Ummm... I feel as though they're one or two bad conflicts away before the supply chain is disrupted.

I won't discount the possibility of a TI error, but if this is the case, they should have never manufactured more than a few hundred units. If every 20th chip fails immediately off the reel... and in a dangerous manor, none of the chips on the reel should be shipped. That is grossly negligent to continue producing such a flawed design.

Almost all similar problems I've experienced have been related to poor input power conditioning. Most often when I try to trim the BOM for cost.

A job is obsolete when a person is no longer needed to perform it.

A job that can be replaced by a machine and increase ROI, meaning the overall cost of the machine is less... Or if a job is distasteful enough or dangerous enough a human shouldn't do it, we have an ethical duty to use the machine instead.

We will replace humans far more rapidly over the next 10 years than ever before. The job market won't keep up. We should expect to see national emergencies and a lot of discord.

400Gb/s is about 40GB/s. That's 144TB/hr or ~7hr per PB.

I have dedicated 400Gb/s links all over 10 countries and 100Gb/s all over a bunch more. Pretty sure there are a few in China. I think it's typically costing me $25-30KUSD per fiber (8xwavelengths) per year on 25 year leases.

If you're in the game, you buy fiber. It costs nothing. And transferring to spinning rust at 150MB/s per drive and flying it is much slower and much less reliable. 7GB/s per sled for 64TB Huawei SSD is much better, but much more of a headache than just signing a lease for about the cost of one small NVidia DGX.

Of course, running a local farm of Huawei Ascend is just faster, cheaper and smarter.

Problem is, it's the NVidia software stack, not the chips that they want.

RISC-V is about simplicity. If you avoid NMH (not made here) you can make an amazing new CPU in a few hours.

Here's the problem. Like ARM, compiler quality is bad. Except for specific implementations, the compilers are poor. RISC-V code generators are just trash. RISC-V is such a painfully loose architecture that writing a code generator targeting it is a nightmare.

Assume 10 top implementations by 10 top teams. One team implements long pipelines. Another implements burst prefetch, another out-of-order execution, another uses a shared ALU across cores... And of course every mmu is completely different.

There will be no similarities across cores. How would you implement a compiler capable of optimizing code for RISC-V?

Apple fixed ARM by simply designing their own core and optimizing their compilers for their chips.

Theft insurance too.
Banks leak money like sieves. Every bank is legally allowed to lose $x per day without announcing it publicly to avoid panic.

Every country has every other country hacked. No technical skills required, just blackmail, threats to loved ones, or big piles of money will buy access to any system.
