I know it's old hat to talk about traditional software engineering techniques, especially when there's the taxpayer's purse to loot, but there already exist solutions to these problems. I get it - these folks would rather have someone else pay for their ignorance, but the beauty of AI is that it can be counted on to break in new and novel ways. It's funny when AI swears when autocorrecting texts, but if you should find yourself blown to bits because you let AI control your air defense network, it's hard to blame anyone except yourself.

I ask this genuinely, because I expected a summary of the solutions but you didn't go into those...what are they? I'm not a software engineer so I don't know what solutions you think would work. As an electrical engineer, I can design test procedures to test hardware and discrete components to make sure they do what I expect, but I'm fuzzy on how you test AI when, in my limited use with it, I can get similar yet different results from the same prompts.

When Donald Trump vouches for you everyone knows that's a stamp of assurance. Just like his bibles, watches and crypto fraud.

You people think Jensen's security team didn't know she was a potential spy? He probably knew and just wanted to see just how much she loves her country Team America style.

Instead of criticising you should be applauding how much that woman loves her country. Allegedly it was above and beyond the call of duty!

After that amazing successful launch when Elon smashed the unbreakable window with metal ball?

The CyberTruck is what happens when design genius Elon gets his way. He also improved the US government spending budgets so much.

If he carries on like this he's got a good chance to run for office as a republican. He already had a relationship with Epstein which seems to be a requirement.

I gotta say, if true, lots of graphics and animation roles will not need humans in the next 5-10 years. Like at all.

Very nice if you were always constrained by not having the skill or funds for it...sad times if that's your profession. Maybe there's value in learning to use AI to enhance your skills?

Comment Ah yes those underground DCs (Score 3, Interesting) 47

For a country that has planned an attack in another country they seem to have completely under prepared for a prolonged and sophisticated military response.

Now they are making hasty plans for underground data centres. If building DCs overground takes years it shows the level of desperation to try and build them underground quickly.

Putin's delusional if grandeur have ruined Russia. His apologists have run out of excuses a while back, his supporters are beginning to realise they're fucked for a decade+ and his haters are looking for realistic means of opposition and to leave Russia.

Trump's support for Ukraine might flip depending on how much dirt Putin's people have on him but Europe's is resolute.

Russia is fighting a combined effort in Ukraine with 10 times Russia's GDP - there is no victory on any level for Russia only different degrees of defeat. How badly that defeat looks like depends on what idiot, Putin.

...what happens when you backup your TV firmware, modify it to be less annoying (with AI or manually) and then update your TV's firmware with the modified one.

Maybe afterwards you might notice there are no ads, no automatic firmware updates and no apps you will definitely never use.

IMO adware and spyware are very much malware.

...yet again a foreign manufacturer makes a better car at an unmatched price point and the ones riding the gravy train in the US suddenly realise they have to genuinely compete again.

Naturally, the US answer is to ban other manufacturers...after all Elon paid big bucks for the orange one to do his bidding.

...left you have to cross the street so you have to be careful and make sure you look twice before you can make it to the store.

On the other hand if you go right you have to walk a bit longer through a "bad" neighbourhood.

Neither choice is perfect but not deciding after a while becomes its own problem.

Not deciding, and maintaining the status quo, is also a decision. Sometimes the differences are so marginal merely debating one or the other is a waste of time but we can't always know that before debating... so hopefully by the end a decision would have been made.

I believe it's the opposite. I used to use Wikipedia much more as it had article on some very niche topics. Now I have to hunt for the information elsewhere. In my view, an encyclopedia should have "anything of interest to at least some people", not "anything of interest to wikipedia editors"...

Comment Wait, are those examples of innovation??? (Score 1) 125

This was a company that once charged $19 for a polishing cloth, asked $200 for a VESA mount, and sold $700 wheels for the Mac Pro. Now it's borrowing tired ideas...

While I would not dispute that the a touch screen laptop or a foldable phone is not real innovation, the author seems to some how indicate that these examples somehow were??? Apple has a history of "you are holding it wrong", "nobody needs a screen larger than 3.5", "mice should not have more than one button" stuck notions, but also some real innovation (Apple Silicon is the greatest recent one), but the article does not touch on these...
