They almost certainly already agreed to only target westerners, operating with permission and already fled to China to escape prosecution to begin with.

They went from "nothing to see here" for DUAL_EC_DRBG, to "dog ate my homework" for ECC curves ... what outlandish excuse will they have for their really not a backdoor, pinky promise, constants this time?

Even the NSA wouldn't gamble on being the only ones able to crack it, so it will be some constant encoding a defacto public key yet again, like usual.

ECC if you don't use NSA's backdoored shitty curves can be very efficient.

This clearly comes down from the top, "force AI into everything and show me uptake, or else ...", so the grunts just shovel it in there and force it.

Meanwhile the market is clapping because the morons at the top lucked into the money printer which is the cloud transition. Also 365/Azure are handled with some competence ... while Windows and consumer applications are done by the teams with the least political power, which get forced to do these AI experiments and use crap like WinUI ("dogfooding" is clearly only for the teams without influence).

Nature should be preserved exactly as it was at a point in time of your preference.

It sends (false) positives to the authorities not encrypted by keys you hold, so in that respect it selectively breaks the encryption.

That's not true given UDNA, they just realised too late.

Just like they realised too late that using worse-CUDA as their main programming language was not a good idea.

There is galvanic isolation with AC charging, so there are always magnets. Wireless charging uses the inductive power transfer for galvanic isolation. AC charging also needs PFC and the inverter driving the coil for wireless power transfer also does PFC during it's normal function without any extra switches.

So it's not as bad as you might expect.

Nature is a horrible temporary vehicle for consciousness, most of it is not worth preserving except as a temporary necessity to support civilization.

They likely wanted more consistent marketing images for the franchise than busy movie posters.

After that it becomes hard to predict. Most likely they let someone with a hard on for gun banning write guidelines for the marketing. Would be hilarious if they used an overly safety trained AI model to edit the images and it just removed the guns because of training pressure though.

Even though the hyperscalers can batch a lot of queries, utilization of GPUs is still much worse than training. They need more memory bandwidth and less compute and most of the interconnect can just go in a nice straight pipeline.

The problem is urban containment and allowing foreigners and speculators to drive up the cost of the little land government lets trickle in.

Same as in almost every western nation.

Microsoft had Windows MCE and a certification program for HTPCs to run it.

It was half baked, but it was early.

Same as it ever was, Apple succeeds on execution and lack of competition which is not dragged down by advertising enshittification.

This isn't about AI. HUD glasses were always a good concept poisoned by Google and outrage hype, if even Meta can launch HUD glasses the outrage has dissipated. Apple is late to the party, but it's too big a niche to ignore. Much bigger than pass through goggles, especially since Apple is allergic to VR.
