I predict if it ever sees the light of day it will die a horrible death by being overpriced and underwhelming.

128gb, at 5k, 60fps using the Apple Watch battery . The battery will last all day long (18 hrs or so) if you don't do much more than ask for the time. Use the camera it could last 30-45 minutes but you'll run out of storage after about 7 minutes. Dare to stream and your battery will probably last 15 minutes.

Just one more thing.. for only $400 more you can get 256gb of storage (what a deal)

Submission + - Can we afford a space ambulance back to earth

sziring writes: Unless you live under a rock (or in a Moon crater) you are fully aware of the renewed space race. Who will be the first to establish a base on the Moon or Mars? Are we actually ready for such an undertaking both technically and morally? The fact that an astronaut needed to be shuttled back to earth early from the ISS is a telling sign we aren't ready to deal with medical emergencies in the near future. Yes, the Moon and Mars are important first steps to deeper exploration, to what ends I cannot answer. There are plenty of articles and videos out there of all the ways space can kill you. Even NASA has a more friendly article of the "dangers" space presents. We have all seen the articles about knowing that signing up for a Mars mission is a one way ticket, but do we really mean it? What about the Moon? Do we ferry every medical issue back to Earth? Are we ready to draw a line and inform them on Earth you would have survived but due to budget constraints it doesn't look like you will.

I can't wait to wake up one day and see posts from everyone on Slashdot acting like they were all vibe coding before it was cool. No more bitching about how the automobile will never replace their horse. Embrace it now or get left behind.

Submission + - should AI agents be classified as people (hbr.org) 1

sziring writes: Harvard Business Review's IdeaCast podcast interviewed CEO Bob Sternfels from McKinsey where he classified AI agents as people. "I often get asked, “How big is McKinsey? How many people do you employ?” I now update this almost every month, but my latest answer to you would be 60,000, but it’s 40,000 humans and 20,000 agents." This statement looks to be the opening shots of how we as a society need to classify AI agents and them possibly replacing human jobs. Did the agents take roles that previously would have been filled by a full-time human? By classifying them as people did the company break protocol or laws by not interviewing candidates for said job, not providing benefits or breaks, etc. Yes it all sounds silly but words matter. What happens when a job report comes out that claims we just added 20k in Q1, etc. Which leads to Bill Gates point of agents that take the role of humans might need to be taxed.

Grumpy old people, stay off my lawn, I walked to school in the snow here at Slashdot these days.

Embrace tech or get left behind.

AI alone can't sustain code long term (YET), that doesn't mean it won't be used to get a project off the ground, get funding and then hire a couple sr people who embrace AI.

Think there is a bubble, you don't understand the market. It will pivot before it ever pops. If it did pop that means firing humans and really replacing them with cheaper labor (India, etc.) and still leverage AI. AI will get better, and quickly. Companies will only need Sr. level engineers to build the agents. Today we have 1 good coder for every 20 or so mid to bad engineer. We are going to lose a ton of those mid to bad engineers from the white collar workforce. If you don't embrace it, your first on the chopping block. At least you will have slashdot's echo chamber to fall back on. Maybe even write a nice article about the year of the Linux desktop.
