This is US' answer to asymmetric warfare. US is going to spend $54 Billion (this is before budget revisions) to make a $5 million drone. You send one of these towards the enemy's $2000 decoy and they laugh their asses out. Or you use one of these to intercept their $200 dummy drone, the enemy laughs their pants out.

That's Black marketing...

China?

"pretty serious stuff."

Correction: Some of which was borne by exporting companies, depending on the incidence of tariffs. Same goes for importers too.

The fun part is, some countries imposed reciprocal tariffs, which was mostly borne by the exporting companies. And that money is money gone to governments of other countries. Thanks to trigger happy Trump, that money is not coming back.

Free toilet paper for all the ESA engineers working on the project.

After newspapers fell into the hands of large corporations, their greed made them go after the mass market. To make their products more appealing to the masses, they turned news reporting into comedy. Over the years they created and groomed this new segment of customers, who have come to expect a good dose of serious sounding humor along with their morning cup of coffee.

All was hunky dory until comedians took notice of this very large market that was being delivered a big pile of dull humor every day, to their doorstep. The rest, as they say, is history.

Microsoft, them make some remarkable shit. Windows is one of them.

How can a CPU, which is one of the many parts in a laptop, be an answer to the whole laptop + OS?

Intel has been out gunned, out maneuvered. Apple used to price their stuff for a premium. I think the stuff that really makes a big difference for the neo is the OS, not the CPU. With Apple deciding to sell their wares in the mass market category, the x86 market is slated to flush both the shit and the ass (Windows) in one go. And there is hardly any shit Intel or AMD can do about it. Their fortunes are tightly coupled with Microsoft Windows. Which can only get crapier release after release.

Combined in the right proportions, rose, bitter almond, and sandalwood can create the smell of masala fart.

Most US brands get their stuff made in China and other 3rd world countries using the same slave labor and sell their products in the US. Think of Nike, GAP, HP, Apple, Google, Fossil et. al. The list is endless.

I love easter bunny.

Here's what our org is doing (still work in progress with ~3000 folks in development):

They gave a mix of AI tools to a few folks in different teams and ran pilots with various development teams across the org: front end, back end, domain heavy folks etc. It's been 6 months to 1 year so far, depending on the team. They have given these tools to carefully selected devs based on experience, past code check-ins etc. and urged them to focus on using the AI tools as much as they can and as frequently as they can, without worrying about how much work is getting done or how many tokens are being consumed. They allocated some ramp up time, assuming people will take time to understand how to use these tools. They setup internal forums where people could share their experience, tricks, tips etc.. They trusted these devs to be honest and work just as hard as they did without the AI tools. They now have some data to compare the results between folks who got the tools and those who did not.

Based on these finding, they are planning to roll out these AI tools to rest of the org with guidelines on which workflows best fit its use, best practices etc. Ofcourse this is an ever-evolving territory where nothing is constant. And AI itself is non-linear, it does not give the same results for the same constraints and prompts.

Fortunately, the org is privately held by one individual, so no investor pressure. No one was let go so far, but there has been a hiring freeze for quite some time now, with some fresher hiring for replacement.

Or the vast colonies of human bodies powering AI, like we see in the The Matrix movie.
