They were playing nice until someone started bombing them.
In which alternate reality?
Iran is not "a", but "the" supporter and financier behind Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and a bunch of other militias and trouble sources in the region. So no, they were absolutely not playing nice, even if you ignore all the atrocities inside Iran.
I could make the same claim about Trump's regime, too.
Yes, but Trump's will go in 3 years by itself. The IRGC regime will not.
Not just not accurate but wrong.
That's like saying the price of the battery in an electric car is that car's price minus the price of a comparable ICE car. No, it isn't. There are more differences than just the battery.
And yes, of course they recoup their development costs. But that doesn't mean that the OP is right in this context.
Microsoft and Apple ensure that operating systems haven't got cheaper etc.
errr... Apple doesn't charge for its operating system. macOS literally doesn't have a price.
Interesting link, thank you.
If the oil prices stay up (and the orange T seems to be doing his best to make it so) then I agree that EVs should drop in value much slower than petrol cars.
All of what you said but there is more: most people will do some reading before buying an EV. What will they probably see? A few scare stories about charging on the road (if I don't go to a supercharger or a fast charger I've never used or not recently used it's always a bit scary whether the fast charger will work - and of course mostly they do).
But mainly they'll read how much better other cars and mainly Chinese cars are.
Who wants to buy 2nd or 3rd best?
I spoke with a colleague here in the UK who recently bought a car (not an EV) because he was worried what the resale value of current generation EVs will be when the 400 mile WLTP range, 5-10min charge next generation (mostly Chinese) hits the market. And he has a point.
To be fair even I bought my EV (Model 3) second hand to shave of the steepest part of the depreciation curve.
Given that citizens of the US have elected Trump as the US president twice it is pretty clear that EU countries cannot count on the US being a 100% reliable ally in the future.
That has all sorts of consequences and will require the EU to develop all sorts of capabilities.
The question of course is: will this mean willingness to reduce benefits / increase working hours to pay for all this to develop genuine competence through significantly more effort or will it be just performative?
Yes, but now you have it too complicated for 95% of the vibe coders. So they simply won't do it. Because skipping all of those steps still results in something that compiles.
They *should* be going back to managing their work flow with spreadsheets, like they used to.
They fuck up spreadsheets as well. A truckload of business-critical spreadsheets have errors in them that often go undetected for years.
It's hard enough to get actual developers to properly consider security. Not surprised at all that vibe coders don't.
Plus, of course, most of the training data is insecure to begin with.
But let them learn by fire that there's a reason actual programmers take time to ship a product, and it's not that the AI can type faster.
No doubt that Bill Clinton is skeezy as hell, but he's specifically requested that the Epstein Files be released in their entirety.
Bill's a perv, but a perv that likes legal aged women.
Problem is: We don't even know what consciousness is.
So the best we can say is if something creates the impression of having one, based on whom we attribute consciousness to, i.e. other humans. Well, big surprise that a model explicitly trained on human language and texts creates that impression. It does show just how good the models are. At pretending to be human because they have a shitload of examples on what humans would say.
For all we know, the gas clouds on Jupiter could be conscious, just in a way that is completely baffling to us. We can't rule it out because we don't know what consciousness is, so we can't test for it.
If an attacker has enough control of your machine to dump the password database, they have enough control to get it to retrieve the plaintext passwords
Not true.
An attacker may have a limited window. He might exploit some other vulnerability to do some operation with privileged access rights, but not have an admin shell.
Microsoft [...] stores passwords in plaintext in RAM
You're not saying?
But they take security so seriously. They said. They promised. This time for real. No, this time. Ok, next time.
Computer programmers do it byte by byte.
