...Is another man's propaganda. They SAY they used autonomous drones but there's no video evidence, not that that couldn't be faked. Sounds too on-the-nose to me.

I don't know why anyone would want a touchscreen on a laptop. I had that on an old HP machine and the device isn't solid enough to do anything meaningful on it. Plus, the angle winds up making contact with your fingernails before your fingers. The only way it might make sense is if you can fold it back on itself to make a tablet.

Never underestimate government, particularly the EU, to f*ck up good technology.

Imagine this: you're trying to build a Linux-based appliance. You run up against some problem and Google is no help. So you go to some forum and ask how to solve it. Some smarty pants says "Figure it out for yourself! You want to stand on the shoulders of giants!" Um, no, I don't want to hire a gatekeeper such as yourself for a stupid amount of money to answer one question.

AI is the next stage in the democratization of information in the same way that Google and the Internet were to expensive universities, physical libraries, and books that may or may not be available when you need it. Welcome to the revolution.

And California, in it's infinite stupidity, will refuse to build such plants because it's easier to suck the Colorado River dry and who gives a shit about those other states who depend on it.

Reminds me of that real estate website commercial where the realtor keeps showing the couple one ranch-style house after another. It's still a PC running Windows. The same applies to NVidia's new machine. It's still Windows.

It's a general rule-of-thumb that no business invests where there's uncertainty. Case-in-point: power plants in the US take years if not a decade or more to get going because of the bureaucracy and the fickle nature of politics. Why invest billions into a power plant when it will never get approved within the time frame of one administration and the next one will change the rules of the game?

So this suggests the stability of Taiwan for the next 5+ years. Then again, another way to look at it might be that Nvidia is effectively bribing China to leave them alone.

Wait, isn't everyone poking fun a Tesla for not using LIDAR? You mean LIDAR doesn't solve every vehicle navigation problem?

In case you were wondering, Spotify's new icon is actually a disco ball but you have to zoom in on it to tell. Otherwise, it looks like a bug which if fitting given that the latest CarPlay release has a significant bug in it.

We used to hold all the keys to the kingdom. Now, anyone with a modicum of AI skill can write prompts to do what we do and spoil our gravy train.

Never mind security, will a model that gives ordinary people the ability to make a lot of money in the stock market be torpedoed?

It's just people playing ArcticFox on an Amiga 1000.

I mean, really? Why hasn't anyone figured out that most of standard school is boring as all get-out? Who the hell wants to read what some bozo thinks is "important" literature? The only thing I learned from reading multiple Dickens books is that he got paid by the word. And who the hell wants to theorize about science? Say what you want about Elon Musk but he's 100% correct about this. Why take an entire semester class about wrenches and screwdrivers when you'll learn far more by taking and engine apart?

One has to wonder why nobody saw this coming. Everywhere this thing is going to be before it's in space (Florida or South Texas) is humid and salty.

As an owner of a 2025 4Runner with a "digital mirror", I can tell you that things don't look the same as they do with a regular mirror. Objects in the digital mirror appear closer than they actually are.
