Or all the ones at the top, since if you go far enough there’s probably something living or formerly living in each square.

Or all of them because if you can see them it’s a sign you’re alive.

Or just switch off the computer and walk away because you’re starting to take joke Captcha memes way too seriously and you’ve had enough internet. Sorry. Time for a break.

I’m sure it will please both of the other people who own a Vision Pro too.

The main difference seems to be that this requires a motor. It’s a more complex mechanism so potentially more expensive and prone to failure than a foldable, and extending and retracting the screen uses battery power.

But some people would prefer this to a thick and chunky foldable. And foldables put more strain on the screen material so the failure rate might even out.

It’s possible that the kernel and core components are still robust, having been developed in a time when engineering standards were higher. As far as I know, the kernel is still basically Dave Cutler’s NT kernel, adapted by his team to 64-bit in the early 2000s, and his stuff was always well reputed for stability, though other teams were producing unstable code.

The problems of Windows today always seem to trace back to the early 2010s when Satya Nadella took over and nuked the QA and testing team. That’s borne out by what we learn from the current article series, which describes how those test engineers who weren’t fired were parachuted into roles they often weren’t prepared for. And in Windows this seems to have led to a culture of hasty, undertested patches, shoved out to users and re-patched when users report problems, but not before. Also, again borne out by this article, a managerial culture of pressuring devs to add new features (that users don’t even care about) instead of solidifying what’s already there. You end up with demoralized devs and a teetering tower of technical debt growing ever higher.

If the core of the OS is robust but everything on top of it is flaky, then the user experience is still going to be of an unreliable OS.

Brazil has something similar. Other US states are working on it. And the UK, some EU countries, Australia and others are pushing for the same. This won’t be just California for long: it’s a worldwide push to make it impossible to do anything involving a computer without first disclosing your real identity to the authorities.

It wouldn’t be easy to ban desktop Linux without inadvertently banning Linux servers and IoT devices. So we should let them walk into this quagmire and get bogged down with an impossible task, instead of capitulating at the first opportunity.

Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion. He then asks Huang when he believes AGI will be real — asking if it’s, say, five, 10, 15, or 20 years away — and Huang responds, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”

Lex Fridman is a fucking moron and his pretentious podcast is unbearable. These people are so dumb and unimaginative. Of course they think the test of general intelligence is the ability to be a profiteering capitalist techbro, and intelligence can be measured in how many billions you can screw other people for. Maybe when the revolution comes it will dawn on them that they were wrong. A person can dream…

Autonomous cars will need 300 gigabytes of DRAM or more

So regular cars won’t. OK.
