"Maybe you just suck at it. Coding with AI assistance is a learned skill"

How do you get the software to not hallucinate functions or even entire libraries which do not exist at all? Even in writing a very small shell script the software makes these kinds of error, and then some more, like hallucinating flags and arguments which do not exist either.

Without GPS you need to use more visual clues. Using even very primitive computers you can follow visual landmarks. Yes there would be an adjustment but it won't stop drones.

If my costs fell, I'd be willing to decrease my salary, but no more than by the same amount, and also possibly less depending on how my finances were doing.

I WfH 4 days and this saves me 300/mo in fuel costs alone. But even with that my compensation is poor, so I'm not willing to take a cut.

That is literally not what this story is about. This is about China having technical superiority in a number of industries. This is an expected result of our allowing vulture capitalists to own everything, since they don't care about the future.

Factually, it is something being done to counter racism. But racists like you are allergic to facts.

He said a lot of stupid shit but not many of us are racist enough to latch onto it and make it part of our identities.

Oh look, whoever you are. Nobody knows you.

And American cars were still shit. If you RTFA I linked you'll see that the best of the 90s and 2000s were not what was destroyed.

Now go off to cry to someone else about your tiny penis, you will not be missed.

We never finished the first one. The losers were allowed to keep their flags and their guns. Instead of trying to be one big happy country we should have freed all the Africans and enslaved the Southerners, since they love slavery so much. Then we could have them picking fruit right now.

Mostly too rich. There are potential problems we don't want to deal with, and will pay to avoid it.

They can probably get local character set equipped key caps from China.

People can and do service their own transmissions, in particular doing a fluid and filter change is generally a pretty easy job. There are also modifications and upgrades to transmissions. You can buy "built" transmissions which include heavy duty parts which can handle larger power, torque, and/or shock loads than stock ones. There are "kits" of aftermarket parts which either address wear over time or even correct design deficiencies like either lazy or excessive engagement of clutches.

What's the measurement? If it's "GDP" then sure, the economy is booming. But GDP is itself meaningless to sustainability, which is the most important thing to measure in anything you hope to keep doing. If you want to keep having an economy, for example, you have to keep having consumers who have money so they can participate in it...

Hardware, yes. But what will you do with it? It's only really good for a few types of task. Where it's GPU-based, as all the Nvidia stuff is, you could use it for lots of different types of tasks. But Services? Energy needs to get a lot cheaper for that to be feasible, because providing services on this hardware is predicated upon using a lot of energy.

A bubble is "a good or fortunate situation that is isolated from reality or unlikely to last". What's good about it, profit for those who are profiting. Why's it isolated from reality, all three of those reasons. Why's it unlikely to last, reality is inexorable, no amount of ignoring it will cause it to change.

One bubble, at least three reasons why it's bubbling. Probably we could identify a bunch more, like nerd fantasy. One of the consequences of techbros being in a position to decide what society does with itself is that they will send us on tech-related wild goose chases.

The goal of making ourselves obsolete is typically self-defeating when we can't even agree to let humans have free time when they don't need to be working.

Been watching the news lately? "Never" is a long time.

C4C destroyed mostly old shitpiles with poor efficiency, so it was effective in reducing hydrocarbon emissions.

I suspect a lot of these machines will go to the third world and get refurb'd into PCs there, so people will benefit anyway. In fact, a significant percentage of them will probably get Windows 11 installed on them using the bypasses...
