They can't even remove the start menu without a huge outcry.

Do they have some sort of license with IBM?

Exactly. He didn't eat $6 million, he ate a banana. I'd like to see him destroy the certificate and instructions.

Hand coding can drastically improve performance if you know what you're doing and the compiler is doing a poor job. That being said, Intel is deprecating its AVX-512 support since it wasn't worth the silicon. AMD on the other hand did a much better job of it.

First, monkeys can type faster than one character per second. Second, if you're going to make it "real world" then you have to consider the lifespan of the monkey, which is probably at most 40 years?

It will eventually replace the suits too.

Agreed. Why do we constantly make the same mistake of believing these companies when they say they have no "plans" to do something. Until they do.

This is step one. It won't take long to spread to other areas. Test the waters kind of thing.

It's a real problem with EVs. AM is basically unusable the way it is now.

You don't really need to wear the watch every night to check for sleep apnea. In fact, I'm not too sure the value of this feature honestly. You get diagnosed, treated (usually with a CPAP machine) that's it. Every year or so you're supposed to get rechecked to see if the machine needs adjusting. Not sure how the watch really helps here.

So these super smart aliens can travel 24 trillion miles or something and consistently crash when they get here?

Ballmer couldn't code his way out of a paper bag. Not sure why folks would attribute this to him.

You still have the option to make that trip to the store yourself.

I always thought something like break(2) would be useful in this scenario.
