I would agree with this view if it was a leader in the field like Google doing the mass layoffs in Deep mind. But Meta's AI program is troubled and it really does seem to be just restructuring as a part of integrating the ScaleAI leadership, however misguided that move may be.

Also, Li-ion prices fell ~10x since 2010 which made may competing technologies uncompetitive.

That's just not true. It could be sheer luck by placing the right bet at the right time, creating a rigged system of legal financial fraud, or maybe systematically destroying organisations by leveraged acquisitions and extracting assets. Making money at that scale often does not align with creating value in society.

It is accurate. The new app and firmware adds a cloud service dependency; it's now possible to control the speakers through sonos.com. Turns out that people really notice the lag when changing the volume has a round trip to the Internet...

There's no way to suspend. The suspend functionality is a temporary revocation (and unsuspending is removing the revocation from CRLs and OCSP-responders). Revocation is inherently broken on the web. No browser checks OCSP or CRLs. OCSP-stapling is optional and the Web-PKI is in the process of obsoleting OCSP completely. (this is the reason for the drive to ever shorter validity periods: as there's no way to revoke a certificate in any meaningful way, you need short certificate lifetimes to get bad certificates offline). As there's no way to revoke a certificate in any meaningful way, this revocation of 0.4% of the certificates will have no impact on the web.

Well, you just proved his point.

Still wrong, because the Algorithm Kyber is sound and does not need a patch; just the reference implementation.

Citing the article you posted: "But those units are designed to only disinfect air at the ceiling level, because exposing people to UV light can cause skin and eye damage. " This has nothing to do with aiming UV-C directly at people.

Quite a lot. The CCP has a membership of 98 million so you can guess the scale of these edicts by using that as a starting point.

NFT are inherently dumb, no matter what they represent. NFT have only one single positive attribute that other forms of transaction tracking don't have: decentralization (with all the caveats of how decentralized a network where a handful of oligarchs control most of the power actually is). Everything else (e.g. speed, automation) can be recreated in a cheaper, faster centralized fashion. The one major disadvantage of all smart contract type solutions is the lack of legal appeal. It's a feature (not a bug) that you can start a lawsuit if something screwy happens with your contract.

I'd like to disagree. There are plenty of similarly priced brands on the market (or even much more expensive like R+S in Germany; their Homage model is roughly double the price of a Vanmoof S5) that absolutely thrive. Vanmoof bikes are nice, but the only thing that really sets them apart is their unique design. The other manufacturers have bikes that offer similar comfort and features, but use of-the-shelves components that can be repaired or replaced in any bike shop. They also sell in any bike shop; Vanmoof was much more exclusive/harder to buy. Vanmoof used proprietary parts that you couldn't get anywhere (they didn't even sell them; your only option was to get your bike serviced at the handful of Vanmoof service stations). Their proprietary components gave them a serious disadvantage during the supply chain disruptions (other manufacturers could quickly change to alternative components that were actually available and keep producing). Their quality control problems with the S3 line (requiring expensive repairs at service stations, often hundreds of kilometers away from their customers) put a serious damper on the brand (both in brand value and in production: every component used to repair an existing bike can't be used to produce a new bike). These problems combined lead to a many months long backlog, additionally stopping people from buying a Vanmoof.

That's a silly line to take. The US government didn't take Snowden to Russia. He escaped to there via Hong Kong.

It's called making a *deal* with the devil. Of course you get a benefit, but at what cost? Ask the Japanese and German rail industry on how they feel.

It also answers correctly in Bard now -

The year begins with January and ends with December.

I guess the whole point for using a NN like ChatGPT is to learn from multiple sources and then generate content based on what was learned. Of they can pinpoint specific content in the response, it seems problematic both on a legal/copyright/IP level and a practical level.
