circa 1972, IBM DOS was dominant in the military-industrialized USA and basis of Computer Science taught and basis on which you were expected to encounter in the modern computer workforce. Even at that time, it was readily apparent that business friendly Cobol was #1 and Assembly the academic domain of engineering and science.
But cracks were already apparent that Basic and APL languages were two very different learning styles that demanded functionally opposite skillsets to concur. To the afficianado one or the other provided a much easier, faster way to "program" than Assembly or Cobol – but not both. It was APL I found fluency but painstakingly slow at Cobol and mindnumbingly perplexed in ASSEMBLY. APL worked in a language my brain intuited and quickly groked with out first learning grammer and syntax. Sadly, no jobs were begging in 1973-75 for APL ComSci people so I found converting mainframes over to next generation machines a gift horse.
It was the insane security, windowless basements and not seeing the sunshine that ultimately decided my career path - not skills. I ended up running large design, engineering and construction projects that needed logic and categorization abstracted from reams of requirements and RFPs that separated the old hands from the new computer literate. The Compaq while revolutionary in portable computing wasn't the game changer that the Apple Macintosh made - at the footprint and less than ½ the cost — 1/6th the weight. Were it not for BSD unix, AAPL would not even exist today.
Apple failed to leverage its platform by insisting on Obj-C to program and bifurcated the world into Basic for dummies and gurus who worked larger corporations that did the heavy lifting i.e. algorithms and DBs. The world conformed to a duopoly until unix, which was unfortunately co-opted into duopoly compliance except in science and engineering niches.
You wanna change the compute environs - back to education you need to go – today jobs in high tech don't require hardware/software knowledge much less skills — 6 figure Engineers handle bits and ComSci is no longer needed to Apple or Microsoft your way through your day. Mathematicians have moved-in with algorithmic solutions. And AI is breathing down their necks and those of what knowledge workers that remain critical to Enterprise computing. Slowly, corporations, their plaforms and the promise of cheaper, faster threaten any of those lasting geniuses with bots and agents.
All of education tilts in the wind of change toward the lowest common denominator - profit for profit sake. Dummies get new toys, products to play with, wrangle and never question much less analize their larger first principle value metrics, architecture or orthogonal scalability. Those are above paygrade.

Specious arguments to the contrary wrt. state of digital science, state of the art digital filmmaking or enhanced sound processing either a bad film falls flat on the metaphorical editing room floor or in the marketplace. I don't care to watch any of these false films - faked upon the public.
AI, only IBM got right its DEEPMIND application to gene folding for discovery of molecules in humans. Everyone else has lost their mind fixated on a pursuit of perfection for perfection sake. And thank goodness IBM pulled the plug when two aaIs devised machine code embedded in instruction unintelligible to humans. IBM second coming may be upon us.
Tesla AI integrates with automotive safety applied to engineering better vision systems to prevent injury, death and accident - dual use. Tesla FSD is designed to delete the human driver under the auspices of public safety - an amalgam of perfection unattainable by human endeavor alone – under the commons model of societal good, Tesla is walking a very fine line. xAi GROK scanning LLMs for patterns versus random coincidences surfacing flawed architecture is another commons application for the safety of society. Tesla hasn't succeeded fully delivering AI for societal good while Elon Musk continues to forge ahead under weak prestenses that its the common good of society driving AI innovation. Such bumper sticker PR marketing is ripe for backlash when private gain at public expense is traded peddling security instead of safety.

this is all known by the term of art "competition". H-P would be subject to "monopoly" were it not for Brother playing the H-P lockdown card against consumers simply competing on a (Ahem) a level printing field.

AUS enjoy the best of the current generation EVs. Godforbid it wasn't Built in America restrained to HUMMER! CYBERTRUCK LIGHTNING and RAM shrubbing through the Outback.
CHN cars have far exceeded American auto mfgr state of the art. Tesla is the only exception and even Tesla build CHN4CHN cars of higher spec just to compete there. Even if the COPYCAT meme sticks to CHN inability to innovate, their battery technology is one area that surpasses USA.
To sum this up, CHN BYD and Tesla are the dominant supply chain anchors with little boutique brands filling demand for price, niche and performance while technology matures or gets disrupted

GOOG have conflagrated speech interrupts and colloquialisms for AI synthesis ala AAPL Siri mannerisms where Apple think conversation make it AI.

Thank you Elon Musk for seeing AI as tool to better integrate than plaything for adults.

make it look like its a made-for-movie prop.

Computers are famously prone to “bugs” and the exposed nature of the hardware invites all kinds of uncontrollable ambients usually engineered out.

Think about it. Tesla has proven how disadvantaged your company, your product and co-dependent your CX unless you vertically integrate.

Partnerships can destabilize. To wit: Taiwan subject to the CHN-effect. Mexico subject to border disputes such as refusing to land deported MX citizens which Trump admonishes by tariffs.

Technology: AI is the darling of the moment but phone mfgrs are dependent upon Gemini, ChatGPT and rolling your own not easy as Apple just proved embarrassingly. But AAPL are on the right track taking control how the AI performs on its platform.

Bastards who use technology against fellow humans to squeeze them of undeserved wealth deserve the ultimate fate - loss of freedom in life

Pedestrians have RoW the moment their foot steps off Idaho curb onto street surface - full stop! Whether mid-block, major intersection or Federal highway - human rights take precedence over machines operated by human or not.

Idaho law removes all ambiguity affording Right of Way to pedestrian over vehicles which are designed and equipped to brake.

you honor me

GOOG ” Do no evil” and NYT “All the news fit to print” famously abandoned morality in the face of tech.

Every individual is forced to submit or take one for the good of Humanity and follow their human conscience. United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson is the tip of society's dilemma which must differentiate the types of killing people are acceptable and honorable and those that are not.

There’s Goodwill until it’s not any more and nothing is more corrosive and toxic to humanity than killing. Judge by metrics that can be tabulated instead of accumulated as wealth.

Ai def a development “pivot point” not just a tool boost. Its a moment that industry holds the opportunity to catalyze all the know-how, best practices, test suites, paradigms and procedures into formal architecture.

Software development is at the stage Architecture founded its five pillars(Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite). Centuries later nothing has changed in Architecture five ordered pillars but huge improvements on the order that software is likely to see with Ai and quantum compute set to take machine-made softwares in the future.

Now is the time to set those orders in stone as the foundation Ai uses to build upon the machine-made future.

Did that - for decades.

AI is simply Apple using artificial intelligence tools against you - you’ve been productized.

The next stretch of imagination is Apple using AI products to securitize themselves fresh revenue streams - you pay AAPL to use your data for your purposes.

In otherwords, Apple owns you - your data – preferences — eccentricities that only decades of personal history could elucidate patterns an artificial intelligence could leverage in super-intuition ways no other company or AI possibly could.

AAPL is set to turbocharge Ai for you in ways that will make AI truly intimate to your way of working, development style and potentially remove its own product friction points enabling higher degrees of freedoms and efficiency.

The “send your data to Apple” promot is turned off - for now I’ll turn it back on when the day comes that Apple is not charging me for my own data - regardless - which Ai thinks its AAPL work product. It’s not.

Once those who used their beautiful plasma picture quality as a perpetual picture frame for photos got really burned, it was imperative to back off brightness to save the plasma screen longer. That was the era of TV rooms - ours having no windows the plasma was not driven to its brightest setting anyway.

The 65” in living room was driven in window lit ambiance to its fullest brilliance which dulled quickly.

To this day, none of the technologies subsequent to plasma display have come close to the Cinematic ideal that plasma made enjoyable. Sure they’re cheap big imitations anyone can afford - brighter, higher contrast – less tearing — more efficient. BUT if your eyes don’t give out, your mind tires watching after two hrs of uninterrupted viewing, count yourself among the rare few for whom modern TV screens present no headache.

By the grace of Don Bitzer he showed the world what was possible and it’s been a glorious experience for many - thanks to his ideas put into electronics. A true pioneer.

Now if someone could step up and show me the next plasma quality technology that AI can manipulate pleasewhere’s that pioneer
