Computers didn't start with apps. At first they ran 'programs' with no OS at all. Having computation evolve around the statistical inference model of LLMs is just the next step in that progression.
It also happens to be a wet dream for tech company leaders. An OS that runs on buzzwords? That will attract humongous financing until some engineers find a way to make something that actually resembles the premise; at which point the tech lead gets saluted as a visionary by their fellow millionaires

Welcome to Slashdot!

The point is that with PCs I can slap either of my boot/root devices (or an image thereof) into basically any other modern-ish PC and it will boot up and sing songs for me.

That's literally my point. Thanks?

If AI were flawless, then it would have a reputation for that, and people would trust it. As it is, its reputation is very bad, and a lot of people still do. If it were somehow flawless, then I would want it, but there's not even a concept of a plan of how to get from here to there.

"Autopilots stay active in the background, understand how work gets done across your apps and systems, and take action without needing to be prompted each time," said Omar Shahine"

Actual autopilots require constant oversight, whether you're on a yacht looking or for shipping containers, or in a plane watching for mountains. That's why it's a good name for Tesla's Almost Self Driving misfeature. On that basis it's actually sort of a good name for this, in that so will these AI agents, though they won't be getting it.

If they wanted to give an air of confidence, though, they would have named it more cleverly than this, and without using a name already in common use for a semi related product.

I suggest general operating LLM enterprise management, or GOLEM ;)

That's great for you, but irrelevant to users buying laptops, which is the topic at hand.

Yeah, but that's the normal state of affairs, you don't need to point it out.

BUT MUH NATIONAL SECURITY! OF COURSE TRUMP SHUD DO WHUTEVER HE WANTS FOR THAT!

Holy shit new product idea, you've heard of chocolate milk...

Make sure the cap on the bottle is red. You literally will not be able to keep it in stock.

Too bad about [hect]ares.

They also said they were complying with the GPL, so their trustworthiness is at zero right now. Maybe when they learn not to lie and steal, they can be taken seriously again.

How are those job opening figures corrected for phenomena like positions corporations have no intent of filling whatsoever? It's estimated that up to half of posted jobs are fake.

1. is not a significant problem. There are only a couple of species which survive entirely on mosquitoes, they are not common, and there are many kinds of mosquito. 2. is even less of a problem, there's nothing else just waiting in the wings to upstage mosquitoes as they don't compete with anything else.

If you wash away the salt deposits, that implies using water and thus generating brine. Brushing the salt away might be better. Main thing would be avoiding losing the salt to precipitation, as the idea seems to be to avoid it returning to the ocean.
Figuring out how to economically purify the salts, including separating out the lithium, would be a neat trick.

Apple's got many faults, but their hardware has a very premium feel. I presume this is where Dell's additional hundred bucks went, because Apple's used to doing that and Dell isn't. They think they are, but they aren't normally as good at it. But they're going to deliver this PC with Windows, and there might be Linux issues — there's no way to know until it's in reviewers' hands exactly what hardware is actually used around the parts we know about. And unless you specifically need Windows, it's very hard to imagine getting excited about spending more money to run that.

I have to admit that I find the lack of a headphone jack offensive, but I wouldn't even consider buying a Dell that's trying to be a Macintosh over an actual Macintosh, and I say that as someone with very little respect for Apple. I don't hate Dell, but I've never been impressed by them either. I would describe them as "less terrible than HP".
