This is an advertisement.

It is remarkably light on detail. She wrote 100,000 lines...of what? We don't know. She's remarkably detailed when she is listing the products and offerings of Amazon. I now know the product names and branding name for their $1billion education benefit program, and their $2.5 billion child training program.

They're trying to appeal to employees, I can't figure out if they want to appeal to their current employees or hire more employees.

No. Understanding sentences from the post is not the same as understanding the post.

I can see that he thinks these data centers are a waste, but I can't figure out why he thinks that.

you have nothing left by ad homineim

Ad hominem is an argument of the format, "You are [insult] therefore you are wrong." I didn't say the poster was wrong, I just I couldn't understand his post.

Comment Just numbers, or some culture? (Score 3, Interesting) 61

It could certainly just be a numbers game; tons of ICE vehicles out there; or whether there's an issue with accumulated cultural assumptions and engineering priorities.

I can at least imagine that there's a difference in mindset between "this is a 12v lead acid starter battery; it'll put out a solid few tens of amps for the starter motor assuming it is working correctly; but its energy density is kind of trash and we mostly prefer not to dump additional systems onto it, especially when that exposes them to the slightly gross output of the alternator" and "This battery has been designed to fully provide for all energy requirements of a vehicle; if you displease it it will probably kill you and then burn vigorously for a day or two. A foundational assumption of all systems that need energy is that they'll be connected back to it in one way or another because there aren't other energy sources here."

Not like electric vehicle designers couldn't/don't make mistakes, and certainly some of their mistakes burn with the really exciting commitment of a large light metal fire; but the engineering culture around an ICE vehicle seems much more likely to produce a string of individually reasonable, collectively dangerous, "c'mon, it's just one little 12v system" requests that get bolted onto a fairly antique battery without too much broader thought; while analogous feature demands in a fully electric vehicle will either be judged high energy enough to potentially get brought into the high voltage wiring(which, barring gross negligence across the design is treated like it can and will kill you) or totaled in to some low voltage system budget that will be handled by a DC-DC converter designed with actual care because going from 600v to 12v isn't something you do as casually as just slapping another 12v requirement in parallel with the other stuff on the 12v battery and calling it good.

Open sourcing your code, and relying on it, is more of a risk to orgs now that AI can actually analyze it and find 20 year old vulnerabilities no one saw.

As opposed to closed source where no one will ever know that a 20 year vulnerability is being exploited by unless the company acknowledges it (if that company is till around).

Unless the opponents of LPR cameras can figure out how to outlaw either computers or security cameras, this is a doomed cause. An LPR camera is literally nothing but a high quality camera connected to a computer network, with image recognition software being run on the video stream.

That's a false dichotomy argument that people are against computers or security cameras. What people are against is the state using automated surveillance with LPR. People are also against police using that technology with little oversight including many, many cases of stalking. People are also against the tax payer paying for all of that.

I can't imagine how else you were unable to follow that post.

To begin with, the poster hasn't figured out the basic concept of "topic sentence" and "supporting sentences." The poster isn't able to use simple punctuation. Factually, the poster thinks the future is Optane. Why not Niagara? Structurally the post is untied.

As for you, frankly I think you might be braindead. But don't let that stop you from posting.
