And what does the language matter anyway when you can now type in pseudocode into Copilot and ask it to form perfect equivalent code in any language?

... Bernie Sanders publicly proves to everyone that he has absolutely no clue about how things work. Whether it's economics or computers, he has absolutely no comprehension about reality. But as long as he gets press, he'll spout anything to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt no matter how idiotic it sounds to people who do understand how things work.

Translating garbage code creates even worse garbage code. I remember years ago a company I was with hired a company to translate COBOL to Java.

It was still crap when it was all over and the project was flushed. The biggest sin was the naming conventions used by the original code were maintained.

I've migrated code from one language to the other, and the best end results I've achieved were when I reverse engineered the original code and wrote the new code from scratch. It took longer, but in the process we discovered bugs that were then corrected in the new code. I loved it when the QA people would come back to me and say the results weren't the same, only to discover the original program had an undiscovered error.

I'm sure simple programs can be converted this way. My prediction is the big programs that no one wants to work on will still be crap code no one wants to work on after being converted. If they even run right.

And DARPA has a whole program for it:

I have never paid any sort of subscriptions for a games or paid for one that can't run offline on my own computer or phone. If I can't get a physical copy of a game, it has to be free or ad-supported to play. That doesn't mean I don't occasionally pay for a booster or something, or spend a few bucks for ad-free, but I sure as heck don't spend hundreds of dollars or feel any sort of loss if the game would go away.

Stop asking the nanny government to fix this. Step up and make a sacrifice yourself like a responsible adult instead of a whining baby. Your wallet is your best tool, as long as enough are willing to pay for something, companies will continue to sell it. And if the government creates rules, they will find a way around it.

On the other side, it costs money to keep those remote servers running. I don't begrudge companies for charging for it. Nor do I begrudge them to right to turn them off when they are no longer profitable. It's my choice to determine how much money I'm willing to spend for entertainment. People only rent online games and their associated purchases, they don't own them. The sooner players understand that and decide to spend accordingly the sooner the pricing structure will change. But as long as people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy electrons that aren't theirs, companies will continue to offer it.

In the end, it's the consumer's choice and obligation to decide what they spend money on. Grow up and accept the consequences of your actions instead of playing the victim.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://informationr.us/

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

... to never buy Apple products. I don't need a nanny, and my children have parents that pay attention. Why should I have my privacy invaded and surveilled just because some parents don't know how to parent.

And anyone who doesn't think this will be easily circumvented is naive or has never had an intelligent child.

I was actually in college in the 1990s, but yes, a middle schooler today with python on a raspberry pi and a pretty simple GPS module could do this.

I didn't say it wasn't abhorrent or alarming. I'm presenting the scenario that this task of "defend this three dimensional coordinate box" doesn't require AI.
