Actually THEDONALD did to Iran ( nuclear ambitions ) what the USA ought to have done ( in the day ) to North Korea , India & Pakistan. Western history will treat this Iran war kindly .
You buy Chinese products your privacy gets fucked-in-azzwhole... like you deserve. Stop pimping yo' dime to the CCP. If you cannot now afford a non-CCP product just do without... and offer up your suffering to the poor souls in purgatory.
Sure... I can change myself... even do high cost efforts like self-improvement. But... Isn't busting a neekap of the offending perp more effective ? Bastard will never walk the same way again.
Shame on Euro supermarkets for centralizing temperature settings. It's well known that no networked computing is secure. For $100 HW each store could set/monitor/manage freezer/chiller temps and water-spray times. But, no... they saved a nickle... only to lose a $20 bill . That's a stupid as having software that runs your business operate from a central... oh wait...
"The models knows what goes into a scheduler." The AI models know nothing... they learn nothing... they produce no novelty. Not even as much as a drunkin ant stumbling across an alcohol-soaked paper sheet. Multiplexing by a mechanical Turk does not create novelty.
"There is no 'only' defense. Indeed, programming skill and attention to detail will, by itself, fail."
Am I wrong, or is "networking" at the heart of 99.9% of computer security issues ? That "only" defense is certainly promoted by "air-gaping" and local-admin of all computer function: one factory one computer... two factories two computers etcetc. More people and more expense; major AI & SaaS companies screwed? Of-course... so what...
"To claim you have already lost when using those measures is to claim that only code with years of tireless review like NASA's near flawless software is good enough."
I bet the answer to this question is: < yes >. Reminds me of Tornado-ravaged Oklahoma neighborhoods with "stick built" houses: wooden sticks ravaged every year , savvy ! Every new Oklahoma home SHOULD be 'Buckminster' concrete... every (re)new software package should be NASA-quality.
".... so you can't build those datacenters on earth for some reason,"
Earth based data-centers interfere with grouse barons and brook trout streams, both of which are much more important for human well-being than data-mangling heat generators.
Lots of buzzwords, but do any of those "tasks" need to be performed. I somehow manage my own home Debian systems W/O using any of those buzzword-tasks. I do avoid make-work automation, as such increases the "fault surface". Even granting "needs", are any needed tasks performed better using the JapeChat mechanism ?
"... workers are routinely slammed for showing up late and refusing to put in overtime for free. Cisco's president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel isn't buying it "
Free overtime? Some slaver from a nation of sheep diktates American worker behavior... how Wall Street is that. Could Unabomber have got it right the 1st time ? Just asking... for a friend...
APPLE does not sell luxury products... like Sable capes, Vicuna overcoats or Italian Chamis heels. Apple charges luxury prices for Mil-Spec computer hardware... same grade hardware everyone else sells.
A trillion here a trillion there... pretty soon it amounts to real money; as Sen Dirkson would agree a long overdue correction. American tek.service stocks have been highly over-valued since the JapeChat / AI obscurity went public. They have another 25% loss to absorb before price and long-term profit come into balance. Or possibly much worse, if AI.tek becomes habitual among guild/craft/small-manufacturing concerns. Imagine... every lathe/ion-beam/router/CNC/3-D printer owner being able to manufacture **anything** at scale.
