Maybe when you read the article and understand what he's actually measuring.

> willing to sit through it because of the positive effects it's had on them.

If you put "must drive to work, because there are no other options" into "the positive effects it's had" category, then sure.

1) have you read google's TOS? Are you sure you didn't consent to experiments?

2) nothing is obstructed or tampered with. Only tweaked suggestions the human drivers blindly followed.

Braess's paradox, Jevon's paradox. Read up...

> Add a bypass and now it's full of cars?

And the approach ways are all congested. Congratulations.

Physics and maths will always win over whatever you want or think is right.

> lots of people die

Lots of rich people die. That means in the "west", not just in places like Nepal or India...

> Should we complain that there is an up charge for fog lamps?

Yes, you should. You should also complain they're not mandatory equipment.

I haven't heard of any new attempt since around that time, as the Sony BMG rootkit scandal blew up in their faces, hard.

In any case, while I do appreciate the possibility of it happening, and its impossibility on vinyl, I'll stick to audio CDs for now.

> Once again, I remind everyone that AI is not limited to LLMs.

Sure, but Altman is talking about LLMs.

Why not audioCD then? Short of breaking the format there cannot be DRM included.

For me the vinyl resurgence just makes no sense with Audio CDs still being available.

*I understand for some people it's the ritual of putting the platter on, and the "fun" of discovering scratches. That's not for me though...

The metaverse was touted as inevitable too...
And where is the metaverse now?

How about no.

Making it a requirement for a wifi network to have a valid SSL certificate is a horrible can of worms you don't want to open.
It starts with the millions of devices that will never get a firmware update (think light bulbs, and the APs themselves), and ends with APs that are purposefully not on the Internet (or their management interface isn't -> no cert renewal).

certified wifi... With a chain of trust managed by profit seeking CAs. Govts would love this: associate a certificate to a person, and revoke it when they're uncomfortable. It also kills DIY APs, and potentially OpenWRT.

By the way, that's how the Matter standard works: with a PKI managed by vendors. If you want your device to connect to the network, you need to pay a membership fee to be certified.

I don't think you thought through the consequences of what you're proposing.

> this is what GOG Galaxy does in the background (and it will even backup the installer and fetch bonus content if you want it to

Lutris does most of that too. Granted no automated updates etc, but this is a case where joining the existing ecosystem would've been a real nice move.

> If people have to be onsite while some programmer for the same company lives in some really low cost area

Absolutely no difference to one lucky on-site employee not paying rent or mortgage while others do.

> The conditions that made WFH the best path forward have changed.

Yeah, a C-level dick measuring contest appeared wherein company culture strength was measured by office attendance. Our CEO bragged about having better attendance than some friend of his.
Then they made attendance an inter-office competition which all non-US employees ignored. It was hilarious.

> A worker who spends two hours commuting to sit on video calls with colleagues in other cities is not experiencing culture. That worker is experiencing theater.

It's Potemkin all the way up.

In my case attrition indeed was the goal. We all knew it. 15% of my team left, including both Linux devs. Apart from one person, all my peers were in other offices. RTO was just being on videocall in a room far from home.
Fortunately labour law was on our side, and they couldn't force me as remote work was written in the contract, and I am legally allowed to not sign any modification to the contract, keeping the original intact. So it became a case of "fuck you, make me" . I got 6 months severance out of it, which I consider a win. Some more courageous were planning to play the longer game and to go to court. I wonder how that worked out.

How much more native than directly using the AMD hardware driver do you want to get?

To quote, this port is

If finished, this implementation would be as native as what is provided by AMD's windows binary blob.
