> Could Apple build MacOS X and Cocoa today if they didn't already exist? Apple got rid of all the NeXT people long ago, with Tim Cook stabbing Scott Forstall in the back, so the answer is No.

And your dismissive comment is a near perfect encapsulation of why "the majority is always wrong."

> I'm curious where the safe harbors were during the Great Depression. I've asked before and have not received an answer. The people who were in cash bought land for pennies on the dollar and made a fortune.

The main lesson from trading markets is that "The majority is always wrong". That is how you get the big moves.

I think the GUI for AI agents should simply be a slot machine. Pull the handle.

What I mean to say is that AI encompasses a lot more than just LLM's, and that LLM's in general are a dead-end technology. People think that LLM's are going to keep getting better, but I doubt that they will, they have probab

Well, in my experience, systemd has much worse documentation, is very inconsistent (or you could say it is constistantly brain-dead), and extremely unreliable and unpredictable, since it often hangs when shutting down and rebooting.

How can the change be a genuine improvement, if it does something unexpected that needs to be figured out?

This article is why I see LLM's as a dead end and not real AI. LLM's are somewhat useful for things related to language. LLM's are a decent search engine. But LLM's are not AI.

Updating glibc is a huge pain. Using a new version of gcc or clang can cause a lot of problems. I try to avoid updating those.

I dread Linux kernel updates. Still running a 4.4 era kernel. Kernel versions have always been hit or miss, some are good, others introduced a new bug. Sometimes it's necessary to upgrade glibc as well which is a huge pain.

So far the Iranian response has been very strategic and calculated. So much so, that the majority of the west especially the Trump administration is not even capable of understanding their strategy. I don't think it serves a strategic

I think the Gravis Ultrasound is in the same category as the Apple IIGS sound card, which came out in 1986. And I put the Apple IIGS sound card much further ahead than the Amiga Paula.

I think that AI will be a tool for Governments and the Surveillance State, and will be used to implement Communism 2.0. People in countries who shun AI will enjoy more freedom.

There is a good chance you will be wrong, but it's not like you will actually check whether or not you were wrong. You are assuming that you are correct, and have already come to the conclusion that the coffee shop is not good. But eve

I think you're making a lot of assumptions that don't really hold up in reality.
