Are people pushing down NVIDIA stock because those buying these NVIDIA products may not pay for them? It's like asking if companies will be going out of business, you can't assume that they won't be crashing, and they NEED these AMD products in order to survive, so these aren't an optional purchase, they are fundamental to the existence of these companies.

Meta would cancel NVIDIA before AMD at this point because AMD doesn't cost as much for the amount of AI they get(a bigger bang for their buck). All of the others, as well, but if the ORDERS fall through, companies in Europe and around the world will be more than happy to buy them.

Debian releases updates on a per-package basis, so once the affected packages have the update available, apt-get dist-upgrade. The need for "a full release" of the OS for these type of security patches is based on an old way of doing things. Even Windows lets you patch that way, you just don't get as many details about what some of the updates are for.

So, you support a rapist and pedophile while claiming you care about family values. You see Trump being abusive toward women who might question him, you see him mocking those with disabilities, you see him sending the Department of Justice after anyone who dares to push back against what Trump is doing. Yea, if that is what you call family values, you must be a member of a mafia crime family where that sort of "don't you dare question the mob boss" is seen as family values.

You seem to be a bot, without the ability to provide any reasoning for your statement. People who don't understand how to code also can't DESIGN code to make the AI produce code without logic problems. A very basic and elementary bit of code, ask for a number between 0 and 9...now, what happens if someone puts a letter or other character in there? So, the idea of parsing the input to restrict what can be put in had to be done. It's a BASIC BASIC concept in code, but you still hear the occasional "buffer overflow" issue that can affect security, caused by people who just aren't good when it comes to programming.

Interviewing people to make sure they understand conceptually how to code, even if the need to write code has been cut way back should not change. It doesn't matter what the language is as much as having a good grasp on how to make things work with the tools available. Most people don't have much patience with a cashier in a store not being able to give correct change when customers use cash to pay, because basic skills needed for the job should be known, even when you have tools that make things easier.

MAGA is based on the idea that those from Spanish-speaking countries are unskilled and don't speak the English language. Now, if those who are unskilled and don't speak the language are being hired over MAGA, that says pretty clearly that MAGA is made up of unskilled and worthless people who KNOW that with ANY competition for jobs, they won't get the job.

Seriously, if an immigrant is a better choice, then people really need to look at their own skills before complaining about immigrants taking their job. The only ones who have a valid complaint are when companies will pay immigrants less for the same level of skill and experience, at which point, the COMPANIES should be the ones being demonized, not the people working and looking to get a job.

That comes from mismanagement, and putting people who don't understand entertainment in charge of too many areas of the company. When there are more movies and shows available across many different genres, you get a LOT of people interested. Not everything needs to be a blockbuster production, not everything needs to be a top tier production. It's good when you have all of them profitable, but the push where everything needs to be amazing for a specific demographic reduces the number of movies/shows, and that will cause your audience to shrink.

Unless you are a teenager, you may look at the movies that come out and decide there isn't ANYTHING worth watching. Go for too long where entire segments of the population see that there isn't anything they would enjoy, and that segment will just stop going to the movies. The same goes for shows on TV, if you get too many of a given type, or not enough of another type, you lose a lot of viewers. So, instead of needing everything to be a high cost production and getting fewer people overall, going for a mix of low budget, medium, and high will make people look forward to seeing what is new.

The same applies to games, where the variety in the types of games has dropped like a rock since around 2005, and now, there are far too many first person shooters, and not enough games that are DIFFERENT. The independent studios or small teams can come up with some of the original stuff, but most of those do feel like they would be better if they had a bigger budget for music/sound effects/voiceovers, etc. EA killing off those developers who were doing interesting things, plus the death of Interplay has really hurt the games industry, the same way these big movie studios are killing things with their focus being on "more of the same", without a lot of effort put in to be different.

When you see some CIOs who refuse to upgrade because they don't want to spend money, there is the flip side where these same CIOs keep the software for far too long. In 2026, seeing 2012 versions of programs is a BAD thing in a corporate setting because you run into compatibility issues with newer versions of the operating system(stuff from before Windows 10 having issues under Window 11).

Artificial limits, or subscription models are a bad thing, but when you know something is going end of life, do the jump to something new, before your old software loses support and the VERY important migration path to new software. I've seen it even in the consumer space, the old Eudora e-mail program was going to go end of life(Qualcomm was shutting the project down), and a migration tool to Thunderbird was provided as the path for users. The problem came from those who stuck with Eudora because people did like the program. BUT, then you have the problem where when you DO finally want to upgrade, and the tool to export to Thunderbird no longer works well, or it crashes because of 200+ mail folders. That's where it gets ugly to do the migration.

For Windows at least, Microsoft allowed the Windows 7 to Windows 10(and then 11) upgrade path to continue working, but it's possible that Microsoft may turn off the upgrade from Windows 7 at some point, and that is when it will get ugly for people who want to FINALLY upgrade the OS. Trying to migrate to new hardware for those currently on Windows 7 is already a BIG issue if there are no drivers for this and that.

Make the students go up and demonstrate their work. Assign homework, then have those students come in and test them in person, possibly showing their work up on a board to show how much or little they understand.

You are one of the clueless ones then, because you have zero understanding of what is going on, or how it affects everyone in the USA. So, here's a bit of information about how it affects us...

For starters, after Russia invaded Ukraine, sanctions stopped the flow of oil and natural gas from Russia into Europe. That had the direct impact of raising the price of oil and natural gas. Because the USA is run by idiots, even though over 90% of the oil the USA needs comes from domestic sources, we pay at a global commodity price for the stuff, so yep, the oil from the USA, it went from around $45-50 per barrel up into the $70+ range due to Russia invading Ukraine. Natural gas...yep, the price of stuff from the USA went through the roof, again, because natural gas is treated like a commodity, even though the USA produces more than 100% of the natural gas we need.

Our cost of living went up due to Russia invading Ukraine. The stupidity of Trump attacking Iran because he is a demented old felon and is easily manipulated just added to the problems, along with the tariffs on EVERYTHING.

So, wake up, and pay attention to WHY things are the way they are, not just what you hear on Fox News or whatever conservative BS pseudo-news source you listen to.

I'm only immortal for a limited time.

To be fair, the terms of use for online banking may preclude the use of AI agents. Realistically, you don't want AI to have access to your bank account, or to make payments for you, since there is far too much room for things to go wrong. Tell the bank you didn't mean to transfer the contents of your bank account to the Cayman Islands bank account of Elon Musk and it was an AI you gave access...think they will get you your money back?

It's one thing to use AI for SOME tasks, but another to give AI access to stuff you really don't want to lose, like all of your e-mails, your documents, or whatever. You may have heard about someone testing AI for a company and it wiped out his e-mail while testing, the same applies everywhere, but banks shouldn't let people use an "experimental" technology like AI access the accounts of people, unless those people are ready to pay out of pocket for any losses they may have due to AI not doing what they want.
   

There are all of these people who are still in denial about the problem, and how bad it will get. There are others who point to the early forecasts for when things will get bad. So, here's the answer for you, and MAYBE you will be able to understand.

First, for those who point to predictions made in the 1970s-1990s as being wrong, because effort has been made on the issue, that slowed things down in terms of how quickly temperatures would rise. It didn't STOP it, but it did slow it down a bit. We also have more information today than we did back then due to the Internet and having more weather stations brought online to collect information from more locations, so all of the weather models are improving over time. The science is still a work in progress, since meteorology isn't something that could really be studied well before the later part of the 20th century.

Now, for the first part, not realizing how bad things will get, the situation ACCELERATES over time, it's not a steady thing, it gets worse at a faster rate as time goes on, until things change. Trying to slow down the acceleration is what is now needed, but the push for AI data centers and using as much power as possible for the personal profit of a relative few is counteracting the efforts to slow down the destruction that really is happening. Look at how severe storms are, not just the number of storms, but how bad they get. Lack of rainfall harming farmland, excessive rainfall in other places, severe weather systems, an improvement that would at least get back to a stable condition where things aren't getting worse should be the new target, but again, just ignoring the situation is like looking at teenagers doing really stupid things that might get them killed or where they may kill others and not even trying to do something to avoid senseless deaths. We should ALWAYS try to make things better, even if there isn't much we can do.

Live on debt and hope the products actually mature fast enough to become profitable before the company goes bankrupt. If they show anything positive, those who own the debt will let them keep going in the hope that what was spent already won't be wasted money.

You have to understand that there is a difference between those who put corporate short-term profits first, and those who actually care about making the company do well in the long term. It's the focus on "make a company go public and be listed on a stock exchange" as the way to make the higher-ups a lot of money that is killing the culture. You see it in politics as well, don't make roads that last for 30 years, use cheap materials that cost less in the short term, but then you need to repave every five years because the roads fall apart quickly. Long term doesn't matter, it's all about short term and trying to convince the public that everything is great, even when it is all falling apart.

Intel is the perfect example, hype, hype, hype, dominate the industry, then sit back, do nothing, company products lose their advantage, but Wall Street continued to be pro-Intel for a VERY long time, even while the company was falling apart. Short term hype, and ignore what is going wrong, gotta drive up the stock price...

And, Intel products are still, "our next products will be so much better, trust me!" is the message from the executives, and Wall Street loves it, right up until the financial reports come out.

At this point, the goal is to make the company go public, talk big to hype the stock price, and sell while things are good, knowing bad policy will kill the company in the long term.
