No matter what the humidity, at 42.5 degrees you are cooked. It's only going to get worse too.

Apple will keep jacking up prices too, due to AI taking all the RAM and flash.

But isn't this a massive upheaval and cost for you? Switching from managing Chromebooks to Macbooks, switching software suites, dealing with all the different IT problems that arise from MacOS etc?

No, I mean because I care about Slashdot and having an interesting, insightful debate here. I know, I'm expected too much, but it happens sometimes.

We are going through a transition where these tools are just becoming available and a massive number of bugs are being fixed, but in future they will be standard for software developers as part of the QA process.

I fully agree, but I do think this might actually be an improvement for customers, at least in some cases.

I've been talking to some AI chatbots for a couple of companies I have been dealing with, to get stuff sorted out. They are much better than multiple choice menus or the old dumb chatbots that just scan for keywords and then print out an FAQ entry. I don't need to guess the special magic words to make them do what I want, and if they are doing down slightly the wrong path I can correct them.

The ones I have used hand off to a human when necessary. I'm sure that will get enshittified, but at least for now I find they are more reliable at either resolving the issue for me, or at least getting the right information to the right people to get it resolved.

I don't have a side here. I use both Windows and Linux. Windows pisses me off, Linux pisses me off.

What I care about is how it's hard to have an honest conversation about any of this stuff without it becoming a Microsoft hate-fest or ridiculous assumptions about open source being somehow inherently more secure.

Yeah, I know, no EV will ever work for you, you simply must emit CO2 and dump pollution into other people's lungs, 6 minutes and saving time by not going for petrol is just something you can't abide. Give you convenience or give you death.

Yeah, I'm asking which model of Ioniq have 6 seats? I thought they were all 5, so maybe your definition of a seat is different and actually there are a lot more cars that fit your needs.

Anyway, no charging at all on a day trip... Well, 6 hours of driving and 6 minutes of charging seems reasonable to me. I'd have filled up a fossil car too, maybe the day before and again after or something, which would doubtless have cost me more than 6 minutes total time. Not that it cost me any time because I needed to pee anyway.

You have to be realistic, not just arbitrarily set the bar slightly above where you think EVs are today.

The LLM thing comes up in a lot of "switch to Linux challenge" scenarios. The issue is that a lot of the Linux community is sadly very toxic. Someone says they want to use X, and the response they get is "why? Just use Y instead". They google an error message and get an out of date Reddit thread where the copy/paste solution bricks their OS (happened to Linus of LTT a couple of years ago).

LLMs try to be helpful and sift through all the outdated forum posts for you. They make using Linux a lot more pleasant and, ironically, human.

With Windows having enshittified, while Linux isn't perfect it does at least feel like some distros are trying to do the right thing, and aren't outright hostile to the user.

I get sent Word and Excel documents at work. I've found that if I reply in ODF format, people just start using ODF without realizing it.

The only real issue is Excel programming, which isn't supported by ODF. There doesn't seem to be an open standard for spreadsheet macros or whatever they are called, and Excel uses some kind of BASIC variant that nothing else supports.

It's like nuclear power. Sure, only 1.25% of civilian reactors have ever melted down, but the consequences for individuals of those meltdowns can be extreme. Anywhere from massive loss of property and community to death.

While 500 stalkers might be a small percentage of 800k officers, for the victims they probably don't find much comfort in the fact that there are only 499 other victims of the same thing. Especially when the technology is relatively new and still rapidly expanding.

For all the comments about how the kernel and Debian developers are a bunch of incompetent morons who couldn't code a secure OS if their life depended on it.

Or does that only apply when Microsoft patches a large number of bugs found with AI tools?

I'm not sure what you mean now. I didn't know they did a 6 seater version of the Ioniq.

Like Tesla was funded by the US government, you mean? That sort of subsidy?

Apple's RAM isn't on the CPU die. They make the CPU and attach it to a substrate with RAM chips sourced from other manufacturers. Two separate dies (or three, dual channel RAM).

Most modern high end CPUs are like that now. It's more efficient to make the sub parts separately, often on difference processes so that the highest end ones are reserved for the things that need them and other stuff can use older nodes. They can then bin all the parts separately and reduce waste/down ranking further down the manufacturing process.
