Correct. When I am driving my attention should be looking at the car in front, not peering at a display trying to find the menu item to change air-con fan speed. These screens are dangerous, you think that you will find what you want with a quick glance and suddenly realise that you have had your eyes off the road for 10 seconds - which at 70mph is over 200 yards.

I guess that BMW is now struck off the list when I next look for a car to buy; along with Tesla and others which are just computer screens with a vehicle attached.

My point was to stop a vendor saying that the product lifetime is 3 months and thus using this as a get out from having to provide updates over a reasonable period. Quite how long is another debate.

Also: this need not apply to all s/ware and all bugs equally. Some which, for example, can lead to a security failure exploitable from a remote location if more important than a local cosmetic issue. Deciding a classification is a bigger can of worms than it seems at first sight.

and s/ware vendors had to provide patches/... for free. Declaring a short product lifetime would not be allowed. Would we have better quality s/ware, written secure by design ?

To work Linus' Law needs many eyeballs, unfortunately these are not always around. It seems that AI is helping - which is good. I assume/hope that the current deluge will abate once the current/historic CVEs get fixed and that the only new ones are for bugs in new code.

Because scientists follow the evidence to draw conclusions, they sometimes say things that contradict the ideology. Climate change is a good example of this.

Ancient Rome made amazing aqueducts. One day they had built all the ones they really needed and with no new projects for a new generation to learn from, they quickly just forgot how to make aqueducts.

"Big Tech" is now entering this phase. In a generation all innovation will be gone.

900$ for a base model with 256GB SSD is pathetic.

Then make it retroactive. Donate the proceeds to the victims of this program who had to train their replacements.

Not in 2003 it wasn't

Her name is Pamela Jones, she was a paralegal. She's done real interviews in the past. She was/is real!

With executive pay at all time highs and the gap between executive and workers larger than ever, I would agree. This is a failure in the system where boards of directors are not holding executives accountable. The system can't hold for long.

The baby killers always lie. Absolute scum of the earth

yet people still claim (and some maybe even believe) that climate change is a hoax. Do something before it is too late. I used to think that it would affect my grandkids, not me (I am 71), but I am now not so sure - this Summer has been hot!

"Japan is preparing a nonbinding "comply or explain" code that would urge generative AI companies"

This has no teeth whatsoever
