It's going to be sorta difficult to debug code if you're not reading it (or able to read it). Unless you'll just keep asking for new versions, hoping the bugs aren't there? I really can't see stable products if th

Didn’t see in the article what the students are doing other than sleeping? Is this schoolwork-related, socialization-related, organization-related, …? Can’t begin to treat a problem until you have some idea as to what must be treated or d

Well, they have good data collected every few years and lots of governmental action to review. Good data enables good decisions.

Think twice about working to eliminate your own job and possibly your own customer base. Don’t help Big Brother do his work.

Hell, they’re already fighting the us, so what’s another nato member. And, given that the us initiated this current round of hostilities, “nato attacked” might invalidate any defensive clause. Particularly if there’s any us facilities ther

How is this different than the (various?) efforts back then to build a machine based on the Intel i860? Didn’t work, although people gave it a good try.

Hmmm. We’ve seen the fun that comes from cutting data cables and pipelines. Think that’s been factored in with the asymmetric warfare coming from the Middle East? Perhaps some network assaults as well? Krugman has pointed out that modern

Tomahawks are subsonic and long-range, so I assume they're flying with a ramjet or other small jet engine. The anti-ship kinds seem to be (far?) shorter ranged and they can really boogie. Speed there to avoid the defensive missles.

I don’t understand the jargon. They’re were using cruise missles decades ago, so why weren’t they kamikaze? Because they were self directed? Could not jam them as they didn’t communicate and didn’t have to use gps.

Nothing. Just pointing out the symmetry that results when decapitwting regimes is considered in play. Works both way. Don’t follow the rules of war and things can get messy.

I see this as a very frustrating move by the PM, undercutting much of what got him elected. But what do I know.

How do they know the replacement isn’t worse? Religious organizations have all sorts of potential successors, and there’s nothing stopping a secular reaction to religion from occurring as well. None of these will be favourable to those bo

This suggests that Trump and Netanyahu are also fair game. Or is everything one-sided?

If you invade countries that mistreat their citizens, the US is the big, loud one over there near Mexico and Canada. Have fun.

Have they downgraded the plan to "avoids explosive disassembly" yet? Or are they going to stop at "makes it back in one piece with containment intact"?

Perhaps on dry roads in clear weather on well-mapped terrain. I suspect when the snow/fog/glop hits or it's off California freeways there's going to be a step-function re: performance. I've seen this with human dr

Developers are “unwanted overhead” until the customer money threatens to walk out the door. They’re going to damage their future products and probably reduce their customer base (fewer consumers) and then sit there looking like gaffed fish

Start with “they probably violate the UN Charter, along with international law”. But such concepts and arguments seem so quaint anymore.

Christianity of a particular evangelical kind as well. Whole swaths of the population “aren’t appropriate”, so the parents and leaders should just start up a more modern, more inclusive alternative. Let the military run their junior milit

Just don’t help big brother see more. If you job leads to such results, think hard whether that’s what you should be doing. Perhaps it’s time or even past time to think of ways of screwing up their training sets.

Thought production was (quietly) stopped? Or was that the trash-can version being replaced? Haven't paid attention to Apple's $$$-end stuff.

Will this save money for Apple or result in lower prices for US purchasers? I can imagine the former, particularly vs. tariffs, but if it doesn't do the latter, so what? It's not like Apple is struggling and needs help to keep g

Judging from the recent hiring commentary, those from school with proper degrees aren’t going to be hired either. At least not hired until the AI hype dies down. As I said, it’s the practice and results - what code you’ve made and how it’

This is assumed behaviour, particularly in some governments. They control the information, the timing, and law enforcement.
