The problem I am addressing here is that man (most?) people see AI and think it is an alias for LLM. The general term you are looking for is "AI Stack", for which AI is the short form. An AI Stack can (and currently typically does) include a LLM, but there is much more to the stack. One possible layer is the machine vision component you describe. There is a difference between generative and agentic AI, but a complete AI stack these days has both as part of a complete AI system, as well as additional components. IBM has quite a few videos on Youtube that go into great detail about all of this.

It's a common trope, but there are at least two problems with it. The first is that it assumes no two people ever died with a shared secret, which is absurd. The second is that the game isn't over yet unless they are all dead. Someone could still come forward on their death bed to reveal that it was a team.

Who said it is a "single coding style"? Imagine a small team. One is a system architect, another is a domain expert, yet another is the person who authors papers and release emails, and two more people write code. It has been speculated that a single person would have to have deep knowledge in multiple domains, and nobody has provided irrefutable evidence it isn't a team who happens to know what code reviews are and how to use them.

This is a core misunderstanding that is often repeated by people who haven't researched AI system design. The new models are not LLMs, though they do have one component in the stack that is an LLM. What you are doing is talking about a web stack as though it was just a database, then talking about what databases can and cannot do ... essentially saying "databases can't create user interfaces!" ..."I really hope people will stop over-hyping these database thingys." For the record, the linked video doesn't paint the whole picture, but is merely intended to make the point that the picture is much bigger and more nuanced than all of the "LLMs can't ..." types are aware.

All outgoing session negotiations are also incoming traffic. Season negotiation is bidirectional. How do you expect a server to receive the outgoing packets for the client as incoming packets to the server during initial session negotiation?

It's not hard to allow only traffic related to an outgoing connection. Are you asking because you don't know how to do it? Not that I'm supporting the GP's assertion here, that's not what I want from my ISP, but it's not even slightly difficult to do what they said you should do without interfering with establishing and maintaining outgoing sessions.

I watched Jayz video on this subject and apparently "manufacturers" (sellers) of foreign-made routers will be able to request an exception... from the Department of War and the DHS. So this is really just a solicitation for more bribes/the opportunity to pick the winners and losers like Republicans always say the government shouldn't.

You can't trust the Windows kernel, so you need a component external to the system as well.

Hold up what? Your ability to do work with the device after the OS has been updated a couple of times and performance degraded to avoid drawing too much current from an under-specified battery?

It would arguably be a better solution technically, but I suspect that most people want to use one app at a bigger size than two apps at once. And then you've either got content spread over two screens with stuff in the middle, or the app has to be designed around the screen layout. And that either won't be done or will be done poorly in the majority of cases.

Yep. If it supported modern standards I'd still be using mine, and then hotspotting for a device with more screen when I needed that. Carrying two devices is nonoptimal, but so is holding a brick up to my ear, and fixing that with a headset would ALSO require carrying two devices.

Modern leather isn't suitable for food, it's got too much plastic on it.

All ACs are the same LLM as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, the company's interests are financial. That's what companies are for. The military's interests are also financial. People may think they're enlisting to serve their country, but they're really serving oligarchs. We have to blow up the middle east so we can rebuild it in our image — at great expense... and benefit to corporations like Halliburton who get awarded the no-bid contracts (sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively - I'm picking on Halliburton here not just because they deserve it in general, but because they were declared to be the only corporations capable of doing the job the last time around, short-circuiting the legally mandated bidding process.)

Each to their own. You have no choice when it comes to the notch and the ribbon (unless you decide to not use a Mac or MS Office). But while it's clear that there is a market for folding phones, it's also clear that it's not for everyone. Folding phones are not going to replace regular ones anytime soon.
