Well, large trucks have 1.3-1.4 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles, vs 1.5-1.6 for passenger cars, so... better than everything else on the road?

Also, maybe if we are a little better at stopping illegal and illiterate drivers that might improve even more.

Is anyone MAKING you work there?

Fucking walk away. Jesus, why is this hard?

Boss: "Do this thing I want"
Employee: "No"
Boss "We will fire you"
Employee "OK" ...I get it leaving a job is scary. But I'm not super-buying that as these are STARTUPS. You haven't been there 5 years or more.

No, what's happening here I suspect is that people are lured into a job that's too good to be true.
If that's the case, and you were hired under a set of understandings and they CHANGE the understandings midstream, then you have an actionable claim. Companies can't change the rules without offering fair compensation.

Apple had a culture of authenticity. Culture dies pretty hard in most cases. I think we will see the last of that culture dissipate, as it eroded so greatly under Cook and Ive. Then the extractive, enshittifying corruption will spread from Apple, too.

There really was something, that began with Jobs and Woz. It wasn't perfect, and Jobs had a way of twisting ethical stances in ends-justifying-means sophistry. But Steve Jobs would never have prostrated before Trump, proffering a solid gold token.

When 3I Atlas stops and scans easily-accessible data from our rudimentary systems, I'm not sure whether this will scare them away, or cause them to flag us for ASAP removal by the Galactic Authorities.

Oh, you want profit? This is a surveillance spyware wrapper around the entire MacOS user experience - so if you thought Microsoft's Copilot Recall was invasive monitoring, you haven't seen anything yet.

If Apple won't monetize a user panopticon and partner with governments to do it, OpenAI will be right there, to take the cash.

I will argue against strict adherence to this statement. Gnome applications written to the project guidelines have become very fine, since the introduction of GTK-4 and libadwaita. I prefer many of these to their equivalents on MacOS.

It's true that most of these fall into a general category of "utilities", and that Windows enjoys a broader ecosystem driven by commercial incentive. But Windows programs are hardly "better' for this, and the widely varied usability is generally sub-par compared to level that's become norm for Gnome/Adwaita software.

Why shouldn't American companies ship to vendors like that? What responsibility do they have to 'ensure' their vendors are dealing with it responsibly?

Should they also tell them not to run with scissors or swim after eating?

"Millions of tons of discarded electronics from the United States are being shipped overseas"

Let's be clear: nobody is simply loading up containers with e-waste and blind-shipping them into "Asia" as if unto the void.

1) Someone has e-waste that needs to be disposed.
2) It costs to dispose in the US, so some vendor in Asia is offering to dispose for less than (US costs MINUS shipping costs which are quite low westbound APAC). Or they're even offering to buy it.
3) profit

Blaming - as I think is implied - US vendors for shipping their shit to Asia is like blaming narco-trafficers for 'forcing' their product into the US. The problem here is the PULL not any hypothesized push.

In my experience about fields I know quite well, human reporters and news agencies get it all or partially wrong probably 80% of the time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending AI in the slightest, just that in 2025 pretty much all news sources are mostly shit.

Beauregard can handle 51 bits using 105 qubits.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an agreement to outlaw war signed on August 27, 1928.

Mabye they could get Francis Fukuyama to draft the document? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_History_and_the_Last_Man)

I doubt this has anything to do with being green, except insofar as it "looks" greener.

More likely this allows them to better gather craptons of model data for their eventually-inevitable self-driving fleet.

Willow can mutually entangle 105 qubits; this is not like IBM's Condor with 1121 qubits where it is suspected only a dozen or two qubits can be mutually entangled.

The internal state of 105 mutually entangled qubits corresponds to 2^105 * 2 (for phase & amplitude) * 3 (bits per analog value, akin to SSD TLC) = 3 * 10^31 bytes = 30,000,000 yottabytes.

Notice that I said "internal state". Reading those values out is the challenge, usually involving re-running the same program over and over to get a probability distribution. Once you measure, all the quantum states collapse.
