And they don't do AI, either... So WTF are they doing with that hardware?
Tim Cook thought AR (augmented reality) was the future, that's why he started putting in the beefy hardware. Turned out the future was in chatbots.
Now Tim is not in charge anymore, the things he liked at Apple are like old leaves flowing away in soft autumn wind.

If this persists China will simply build more fabs, and more quickly than anyone else. So what if it's old-ish tech, at least they will have it.

That was a failure, but the first failure was not recognizing it wasn't ready for a research project either. When they realized it was going to have to be heavy and bulky, they should have stopped and either iterated the design again, or smarter IMO, waited for tech to improve (or push it) and then done another design. OTOH Apple can afford to lose the money...

Glad to hear they are still kicking. I hear there's also some Linux-based stuff now but I haven't seen it yet, I'm afraid I'm not much in the market for new cars.

What code they are based on is irrelevant. Slashdot still has a very simple interface (I am using it right now, it is still the best interface) which is easy for bots to interface to using the DOM. Whether it's Perl or C# or Ada underneath makes no difference.
The real question, therefore, is why are we still being subjected to this cowardly anonymous bullcrap? This management has turned off AC posting before, and you could say they turned it back on only because post counts tanked, but have you seen post counts recently? It's now horribly rare to break 100.
Slashdot needs a major overhaul, and I don't mean of the code though that will of course have to change. I mean specifically that mod abuse and AC trolling are driving away every serious poster. My thanks to those of you who still remain, but most of you post less and less, not that I blame you. I presume you're here less, too.

He tricked them into doing it, if anything that will work against him. They are allowed to lie to you, you are not allowed to lie to them.

Most murder is premeditated
Eh? This is incorrect. Perhaps most fictional murders are premeditated, because that makes for a more interesting mystery to solve, but in real life, the vast majority murders are impulsive, spontaneous acts that happen during arguments, fights, or emotional outbursts (often with the help of alcohol and/or readily available weapons).

That is not what they found. What they found is that if you spend 60 minutes doing the homework with AI, you learn approximately as much as someone who spends 60 minutes doing it without AI. If you spend 20 minutes doing it with AI, you learn as much as someone who spends 20 minutes doing it without AI. Etc. The only real difference is that the AI people get way better homework scores, and as a result, tend to stop spending as much time, and thus tend to learn less.
That's what this preprint study found.
