I've used some AI thing to learn how to improve my amateur coding skills. I study other peoples code and this is just another part of that.

The professional coding I leave to the professionals. They think, design, refactor and fix projects. If the AI stuff can save you a little time here and there, all the better. I'd want to use local modals if any though.

Same for my professional vocation in audio. I use AI tools where it makes sense and saves time. I often use it for noise suppression, voice resynthesis, the occcasional 'learning' compressor or deesser, suppression of reverberation ... and that's about it. There's no auto-mixing because the outcome usually suggests zero intention. That intention is why I am hired as a re-recording mixer and sound designer.

That's OK but the only reason many people buy American cars and trucks is to support American jobs.

When it's all robots might as well get a Tundra rather than a 1500. Or maybe BYD will come in with something soon.

We'll see how that goes.

The guys who built those giant ovens could have told themselves that somebody was going to be baking a whole lot of bread ... very inefficiency.

Somebody wired up all those ICBM missile silos too. The ones who do think all of the above is just fine. There will always be someone.

Skipping the paywalled article I found these specs and was underwhelmed.

Sure it looks fine for playing mid games but my guess was something unique, unified RAM or a clever bus or something. It seems like a decently tuned Ryzen build. I do like the lower TDP on the CPU which should be doing less work.

A nice form factor for those who don't build their own.

Hopefully this is their entre into the PC world and v2 will have more innovations.

What's most cool is the generation of teenagers who will have default Arch/KDE instead of default Windows.

I see so many names in the commit logs, but some standouts include: Blum, Cook, Torvalds, Solodai, Tyragu, Stitt, Bergmann, Wysocki, Panda, de Mello, and no doubt some I missed who have a large number of commits fixing this problem.

Thank to all who undertook this Herculean chore!

After the buses return to the depot, the transportation authority would archive the regular video footage on a local server for up to five years.

Why the hell five years?

The original guy got to keep using it. There was someone else hired for a brief time.

I remember the author's name but he really doesn't want to use it, so that's OK to respect. He's given me a lot to think about over the years. I remember when he wrote on his PBS site about unicast becoming cheaper than radio broadcast for TV, predicting that it would overtake by 2012 (IIRC). Youtube became huge around then. We were smart folks around the water cooler in the late 90's who could follow the math but had nagging skepticism. He wss right.

I think I have one of his science writing books under his real name about atomic energy somewhere. You can find it if necessary.

Nice to see Bob back on the Dot.

It's not mutually exclusive. They fluff each other.

Don't you see, AI is inventing ways for humans to consume less energy so it can eat it all.

> The lender can't repossess a college degree to make themselves whole.

No but if the borrower can't get a good job there should be cause of action for Warranty Act claims against the college.

Extremely few people go to college with the expectation of borrowing to be unemployable.

and die for Bibi

lets the other side control when to turn it off. If they flake or go rogue, you are left holding the bag.

Almost like he's a campaign donor! Did he fly on AF1 to China with the rest of them?

Government very rarely runs on merit. It's a terrible way to conduct anything that doesn't require killing people.

Sure, but border guards and spooks probably already had this exploit so the difference is minor. Their PoC page also says there's no access to Secure Enclave so perhaps the damage is minimal?

Curiously I saw some commits for an iPhone platform in LineageOS a month or two ago. Perhaps an option for EoL Apple hardware with working exploits.
