Even in the best scenario we will need solar panels to provide shade. In Europe they have been found to increase crop yields significantly by reducing the damage that extreme heat does. They are good for animals too.

The cars are cheaper than fossils here, and that's not including the cost to run. Charger installation doesn't cost much and pays for itself in the first year.

We do need to make sure everyone can charge at home.

Most people don't need to rewire their house or plug in every night.

It depends if you live in a first world country with decent infrastructure or not. For me the convenience alone would make me never want to go back to fossil.

Probably not for .NET. Microsoft has been using AI to find bugs in its products for months now, hence the high number of patches through Windows Update. Doubtless they have already thrown it at .NET.

The Linux kernel is in the middle of this at the moment.

Their noise cancelling is apparently good. The actual cancelling bit, not the overall sound. But it's also massively over-priced and there are better options, especially when it comes to comfort.

Indeed. Most people are not educated enough to get that comparison though.

There is no absolute protection against user stupidity. Incidentally, banks here will refuse that login. They require machines to be registered for online banking. And they have time-outs.

We already have better options. EVs are just better all round than fossils in almost every scenario. Better to drive, cheaper, faster, more convenient.

Most EV drivers would never go back to a fossil. At this point it's just denialism.

All the NIMBYs objecting to solar farms and wind turbines being build on their precious "green belt"... It's all going to die off in the heat and be replaced anyway. That ideal vision of England is dead, literally. It can't survive the heat, and neither can many of the NIMBYs. Tens of thousands of extra deaths this summer, and it's only the start.

Maybe we can turn fatalism into something positive.

It's it a guzzling Harley or something with 7+ liters per 100km? Or a SuperCub with 1.5 liters? The latter would be somewhat acceptable IMHO. The former not.

Bind has gotten better, but 10 years ago and longer it was utter crap with regards to security.

What the AI does is not impressive. Finding use-after-free requires you to be competent and wanting to find them. Approaches for finding and avoiding them are well established, the current slop-coders (with or without AI) just do not know or use them. AI is not needed in any way. AI is just the ElCheapo approach when you do not care about finding all of them (due to LLM unreliability).

By the user against the AI agent? Yes. But online-banking needs authorization by the bank and that involves more than just the act of logging in. It includes tools used, geolocation of login, etc. and does even include what the user does and recent usage history and even things like cards issues, credit rating, etc.

The bank is _not_ talking about the login itself.

So he does not understand what the banks are talking about? Also a possibility.
