I wonder if the newspaper website has a switch for people to choose between "Basic maths" vs "weird analogies".

If the value of my house goes down I would never even know it because I don't borrow against it and I'm not looking to sell it.
You don't borrow but plenty of other people are mortgaged.
In your country it might be different but here in the UK when there were serious market crashes, some people were contacted by their mortgage provider demanding a top up of guarantee.
Ie: if your loan is against a property evaluated at 300k and right now it's worth 270k, the bank can demand you do something about it.
So odd that the product page on the Apple website doesn't say whether it runs OS X or IOS.
If people don't care, they might as well try shipping it running Linux...
The ribbon in MS applications is fine by me. What irks me is the new style of windows that have search boxes, icons and notifications in the title bar.
Sometimes I don't know where to click to drag a window without finding some icon that someone thought needed to be prominently shown where maximise, minimise and close should be.
The loss of the top left corner menu is a smaller issue, but I often miss the Windows 3.x consistency in window controls.
I'm guessing they meant to say 1.9GW total power composed of 1.4GW from wind, 200MW from solar, and 300MW from the battery
What if the battery is not there to add to those two other sources, but only to allow them to buy more of what they use at off-peak prices?
They would still be grid tied, but some times they'd sell more of their own generation, and some times they'd be consumers.
The buyer will just not have attention span for your explanation of how bad eating dirt is and by the time they figure it out, you're out of a job and they are still tempted to double down on AI so that they don't lose face
I get wanting to move to another country but how do you have the security to do so? How do you make sure you have opportunities and secure jobs for multiple family members?
Well if you look for those interviews of Americans moving to Europe, you'll find some cases of people who are freelancing after building a portfolio of clients in the good markets all over the USA.
The one time I heard someone mention $ figures, it was someone from Kansas who made a career in web advertising there and in California. Now she works for the same sort of customers and was happy to find that for the same sort of rent she paid in Kansas she was living in Lisbon, a capital city with access to the beach and many other points of interest. She said on a good month she made $12K and a bad month $2K. Plenty of people in Portugal would love to have bad months like that!
Luckily, those of us who actually use AI, know that it will not be "ready" to replace humans for a long, long time. Yes, I do believe it will boost productivity. But AI does stupid stuff, *all* the time.
IMHO the issue here is similar to eating junk food. It's really difficult to justify paying a lot more for meals, or spending time cooking if fast food operations are optimised for selling £5 meals.
The buyer will just not have attention span for our explanation of how bad fast food is and then all profitable operations need to become fast food.
This is huge!
For whom, exactly?
For the product managers in charge of marketing and selling a new version of the Apple Pencil that will cost £10 to make and will sell for £100...
Yep. It's not enough to have mass unemployment and environmental destruction in developed countries, the mega corporations want people to have nowhere to go to rebuild their lives without AI
Anastassi has 30 years of IT management experience, the article points out, and he estimates the project will even bring "a considerable cost saving over what we currently pay for Fujitsu."
Sounds like they are aiming to do in 5 years what they could not get done before, and for a lower cost. Ambitious!
I wonder what money they make from Apple and Google, because Android Auto works fine in my MX-30.
As for the rest of the controls, I don't mind using the control knob instead of touchscreen. One less screen to keep clean from smudges I guess.
I disagree. Are you ready to make a real difference and
Euthanise those over 50 (me!) and move on to Star Trek utopia/UBI.
are also a Schengen member giving them another 24 countries they could move to.
Travel to without a visa - yes.
Move to - I don't think so!
