> "Good enough" is exactly the reason that AI is upending the world of white collar work. It might not replace a skilled and experienced employee, but it's good enough.

I don't necessarily have a problem with that. The problem is, skilled workers only become skilled after being inexperienced for a while and gaining experience. If you cut junior, unskilled workers from the job market, you won't have skilled workers in a few years.

In other words, company that adopt AI to avoid paying unskilled labor are shooting themselves in the foot.

You have to pay MORE. /s

Whether you like AI or not, if your profession is about to be obsoleted by AI, AI Is factually bad for you.

Beyond that, it's up to you to decide if it's worth paying a talented human writer to report on local events in a local rag. Most of those newspapers are strictly utilitarian and simply inform the locals of what's happening in their communities. I've never seen any of them dabble in gonzo.

And well, journalism is like football: most professional footballers play in minor leagues and don't earn much, and only a vanishingly small minority earns top dollar playing incredible matches watched by millions.

High-flying journalists writing for classy newspapers will most certainly keep writing their own stuff. But the mundane will probably be taken over by AI because mediocre is good enough for the money.

With the massive influx of people from the middle east, most who shun alcohol & the "dying off" of the older people it makes sense that pubs are shutting down. A lot of the younger people don't drink as much either.

I should have written "90% of people have the SAME abnormal thing". I've been thoroughly out-pedanted. Well done Sir :)

If 99% of people have something abnormal, isn't it in fact the norm?

According to Consumer Reports, Rivian placed last in its ranking of reliability, with the consumer-focused magazine citing electrical issues, frequent repairs and constant over-the-air updates as cause for the low ranking.

Stories were terrible, most of the comments got WAY to political.

But we cleaned it up. Japan had a similar problem in the 60's & 70's too, but cleaned it up. China had a smog problem in the 2000's, but are cleaning it up. India will have a smog problem too. It's industrialization. Once they get better, it will clean up as well. Most industrialized societies go through this.

The military is right. As in, the military is saying Anthropic's tools are the best there are, and they don't want to change. Pete Hegseth is wrong, and he's throwing a hissy fit that, as usual, goes against what the people who now have to follow his orders, but are way more qualified than he is, actually want to do.

Incorrect. It's important that the decision be the *best decision*. Speed is a factor, but it's not the most important one. I can give you a system that gives you decisions faster than any AI, just have it choose randomly instead of actually analyzing any data, and it will be very fast!

What Anthropic is concerned about is that they are not confident their AI system can make decisions like what to shoot at with a low enough error rate to justify doing so. Anthropic is understandably concerned about the blowback to *them* when they become the scapegoat for all our drones engaging in friendly fire and killing a bunch of Americans, because Hegseth decided to trust a system that if you ask it, "the carwash is only 100m from my house, should I drive or walk there to wash my car" will say that you should walk there, because it's so close. You really want *that* system making the decision on who to kill?

I'm a pragmatist. I *know* eventually humans will be out of the loop in such decisions. We're very, very, VERY far from that. We know it, the military knows it, ALL the AI vendors, out of which Anthropic currently has the best product, know this. Pete Hegseth is apparently too incompetent to know this.

The second part of the equation, AI is actually pretty good at. It's a great tool for sifting through massive data, so it's great in helping to spy against Americans. No patriot should want that, however. Anthropic is ok with it being used to spy on other countries, but understandably does not want that use to spy on our own citizens. If you're against that, fuck you, you have no right to call yourself an American, you don't have the very basic values that this country stands for.

The difficulties described are consequences of Apple’s proprietary platform design, not evidence that Linux or ARM are immature ecosystems. Conflating ISA compatibility with platform openness is a fundamental misunderstanding of how hardware enablement works.

“Linux doesn’t feel ready for ARM yet. Many apps aren’t compiled for ARM.”

This is the weakest argument in the article.

ARM Linux is widely deployed on:

Billions of Android devices (Linux kernel)
Most cloud hyperscalers (Graviton, Ampere)
Raspberry Pi ecosystem
Embedded and industrial systems
Major distros eg:
Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian have mature AArch64 support.

And today most open-source software compiles cleanly for ARM64.
Browsers, compilers, containers, dev tools are fully native.
Even Steam supports ARM via translation layers.

The real issue is x86-only proprietary binaries.

That’s not Linux-on-ARM immaturity.
That’s legacy x86 ecosystem inertia.

Even Apple solves this via Rosetta — a translation layer.
Linux uses FEX or box64 for similar purposes.

Translation instability platform immaturity.

I guess the source is MSN though ...

But yes, you're right, it's yet another problem with infinite scrolling.

Infinite scrolling == infinite memory usage.

Whenever I go to some forum that's heavy on pictures and videos that has infinite scrolling, and I'm looking far down the page for something or other, eventually my browser slows to a crawl, or the browser's resource-hungry JS engine crashes, and that's the end of the scrolling.

Certain sites I patronize that have the stupid infinite scrolling also have the classic &page= HTTP GET mechanism. On those sites, every once in a while, I reload the entire page with a &page= corresponding to roughly where I am in the infinite scrolling, just to reset it and free up some memory.

It's not the UI paradigm that bothers me, it's the resource usage insanity.

The only way? Nah.

Each and every individual can simply stop using fossil fuels, especially individuals in somewhat richer countries. Stop flying, get an EV, replace you heating. Stop eating meat. It's not that hard (but it might hurt).

Those corporations you mention, indirectly all demand for their stuff can be traced back to such individuals. Also, they operate within the boundaries set by governments. If they still harm the climate, the government has not done its job. And in a democracy you know who's to blame...

Let's definitely keep "hitting primary contributors" but let's not make the ridiculous mistake of thinking that we need them to fix this.

Now it is a desert. The climate changes. In the 90's during the Algore era of global warming, when the ice was melting, it uncovered an abandoned settlement somewhere up north, iceland, norway or somewhere up that way. Scientist were all giddy with the discovery. It was dated to the 12-1300's. NOT ONCE did anyone ask, hey! how was it warmer 7-800 years ago, to have a bunch of people living in a community, without "man made" global warming? Too much burning of whale blubber??
