But a GPU with nine cores ...

Or any number of, now obsolete, general-purpose, vector-processor systems, like the Cray 2 or even parallel systems like the Myrias Parallel System - both of which I was an SA on *way* back. Parallel operations can speed certain type of workflow.

Same here but this lack of support will matter much less than dropping i486.

There are still embedded systems sold today that only meet i486 specs. I don't use them but some industries do.

Sure a $12 ESP32 can handle those tasks but it's a revalidation thing.

Not that anybody from those vendors stepped forward to maintain a tree.

"The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears."

150s don't run on diesel. Only Dodge has a half ton diesel pickup because only they have a mid sized diesel engine. Ford uses turbo gas motors for that market. Those are F250 and larger tears.

Most people don't know the difference between a SUV and a CUV, which is because the manufacturers deliberately created confusion on that point in order to sell vehicles consumers were rejecting. Most people don't know the difference between full frame and unibody either, they only know whether the vehicle crashes over bumps or not. It's irrelevant because it's irrelevant to the majority of buyers, who don't know shit about shit

"the Lightning was always a glorified grocery getter for people who didn't use a pickup for a work-use. It was suburban vehicle for those that didn't want to have an SUV. It was an upscale minivan that you could put plywood and crap in the back - if you didn't care about messing up your $70,000 truck. It was a great vehicle - but it wasn't a "Truck"."

Trucks are heavy vehicles. They're defined in the code as such. The lightning is a pickup. Like the lightning it was named after, it's not a great one in terms of maximum pickup ability. It's a lot more useful than the last one, though.

Which, of course, is AWESOME.

A human who knows something will reject an obviously wrong answer, but since the LLM knows literally nothing and the AI companies won't pay for it to check even its own work (which won't solve the problem but will REDUCE the major fails) it will just happily shit out a catastrophe.
