Whew thank God Linux is a monolithic kernel with a minimal attack surface and no drivers up the wazoo to worry about.

How is median income increasing then?

They simply can't catch up to what SpaceX is doing. They are 10 years behind the US on aerospace, semiconductors, and biomedical. They can't achieve parity because they don't have the money. No capital. No capex. The median Chinese income is only $5,000 a year. Do you realize how insanely low that is? $5000. FFS they are 3 times poorer than Mexico. They can't fund major initiatives. Their home ownership rate is 94% which also means they aren't motivated to work like renters would.

I recall that the prices of tech, from the 1960s until the 2000s, used to decrease not increase. Wtf happened? Trade BS?

Sounds like more reasons we should have more surveillance not less. Or do you reckon the brownshirts won't surveillance to their own ends?

How often does that happen? Meanwhile stranger-initiated outdoor or home-invasion rapes and street murders are happening at tens of thousands annually most of them going unsolved and barely mentioned in the police blotter let alone news (which 99% of people dont watch anyway).

Trade wars, sky-high inflation .. and he's doubling down on all the things causing it. What could go wrong? This is the golden age? Democrats are too dumb to play back his words and remind people we're supposed to be in a golden age.

He's been doing drastic shit for two years and it's not improved things for anyone except billionaires.

"There has never been even a single level 5 self driving car that has ever existed."

Waymos may not be "level 5" .. since they haven't fully tested it in blizzards -- but it works in dense urban areas with lunatic San Francisco pedestrians. Waymo also tested it in New York City which has the craziest of all traffic, and it passed (though the Mayor banned it because he said it would take away jobs). But forget Waymo .. I have a Tesla Model Y which has (supervised) FSD, but I've never had to intervene critically and it's been thousands of miles. You realize I just get in the car enter an address and it goes there parking-spot to parking-spot -- zero intervention of any kind in all kinds of traffic -- it handles roundabouts that humans have trouble with. Yet nobody who doesn't actually have Tesla FSD believes it works. Nothing we can do or say makes you guys believe it really and truly works. We can show all the stats .. it doesn't work. In spite of tons of YouTube videos showing it working, nobody believes it actually works like we say it does. There are videos of self-driving Teslas in all kinds of conditions including a blizzard. The blizzard video is a bit wonky because the guy does intervene on occasion but the card does seem to handle it better than he has faith in.

To claim that the gap to level 5 is "astronomical" is plain wrong. If Tesla removes the "supervised" label from their FSD .. people aren't going to magically flock to buying Teslas. It will take a years, the same as it took some years for people to really switch to touchscreen smartphones.

That's a bad thing. Not a good thing.

Overall, mine automation is increasing jobs. And that's direct jobs not just more jobs from the mines production downstream applications. From Gemini: The industry has experienced long-term, consecutive expansion driven by global demand for critical minerals and steel inputs:8-Year Growth Streak: Prior to its current plateau, the sector achieved eight consecutive years of year-over-year employment growth.Long-Term Surge: Mine site employment has surged by 65% since 2016. This added roughly 140,000 direct and indirect resource-related roles across the broader state economy.

The loom caused job gains overall. More garments sold, more retail jobs, jobs in fashion.

It's dumb to try to stifle it when it's just developing. For one thing, AI can't take anyone's job. Increasing production has never in history resulted in job loss. Theoretically, ROBOTS can cause job loss. But even that is dumb to over-regulate at this early stage. Robots need at least 20 years of advancement before they start replacing human jobs. Think about it, cars are already capable of autonomous driving .. and have been for 5 years (in the case of Waymo) .. yet they haven't caused even one taxi driver or truck driver to lose his job. There are more uber drivers than before the pandemic, before Waymo was open to the public 5 years ago. https://appfigures.com/resourc...

Many things wrong there. The benefit was a few months, not decades. Also, that's a small sample size and furthermore they seem to admit it wasn't a double blind study. "A double-blind design was planned, but due to the rapid progression of the disease, a survival of 3years or more was considered as a success factor (30, 31)."

That sentence doesn't make much sense.

Also: "Following this enrollment evaluation, consultation was done by a clinical dietician and then, if the patient agreed to participate, the ketogenic diet was initiated. " Umm .. that sounds like patient self selection, maybe the patients willing to do the keto diet took care of themselves other ways too?

Biggest issue is the small sample size, but it seems the patient selection process may have been wonky too.

I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

Is there any proof that his approach actually was responsible for keeping those patients alive? I mean, where are the controlled studies. It's possible that pancreatic cancer patients survive 6 years. I mean statistics show that pancreatic cancer has a 5 year survival rate of 13%. So basically if you randomly chose 10 pancreatic patients at diagnosis time, one would likely survive past 5 years. As for glioblastoma .. decade survival is 1 in 100, but I'd like to see specifics of that, and why the method hasn't attracted mainstream studies to back up the findings. Provide a link to the studies.
