Isn't proclaiming one's self to be a non-ass kind of an assy thing to do?

How many do we exhale? We're probably more interested in inhaled - exhaled, rather than just inhaled.

Does anyone else see this as short-sighted? Fast forward ten or 15 years and all the institutional knowledge from the support staff will have been captured in the AI vendor's system, and then they'll change DHL anything they want. This is "IP Lock-In".

I'm very glad he remembered to donate.

Am I finally getting the x-ray glasses my Batman comics were advertising in the 60's?

I sure hope the Indian government is tracking how this affects the population. There are reports here and there about AI assistants making their users lazy/dumb, as these users rely on the AI instead of their own brains. There are other reports of students using an AI to write papers, and then college professors using AI to grade them. Neither the students nor the teachers are going to learn/grow much using this approach.

Since we're using the drug dealer analogy on this one, AI offers immediate wonders, but may leave users bereft in the end.

Scott Galloway called the rebranding from HBO to MAX the "greatest brand destruction in history" (or something very close to that). It's good to see the tourniquet has been loosened and blood is once again flowing to the head of the brand.

That's because Big Accounting Firms aren't that good at accounting for things anymore. They're much better at sales.

As you correctly point out, passing messages between kernel space and user land consumes resources, which is why Microsoft moved graphics drivers inside the kernel back in the 90's. That led to a decade of "replace your graphics driver with the generic Microsoft one" advice to solve Windows crashes. The graphics vendors eventually got their act together, but I'm pretty sure graphics drivers still have kernel acccess. Maybe they can be next for banishment to user land?

It's been a while since I've smelled manure, but what happened to John Deere? Where did John go? Did he write a "Dear John" letter and slip out the back? Did he know the jig was up and leave Deere holding the bag? I'll bet he's basking on a beach somewhere sipping a tropical refreshment containing miniature lawn furniture, laugh about his fortuitous timing. Well done John! (you were always the better one)

Any chance they can fix window management in MacOS while they're in there working on their Windows Aero clone? I have yet to met a user who's impressed by that half-broken mess.

Does it have electrolytes? Because that's what plants crave.

I've been writing code professionally for 40 years. If 'thinking hard' etches a frown into your face, then I would have a face like a bulldog! Oh, wait, never mind.

Really? It's got electrolytes? If it's green, I'm in!!

When a javascript program runs, who/what will figure out when to release the 2 GB of memory that huge array uses? The programmer didn't, because it's javascript and we don't explicitly return dynamically allocated memory in the javascript universe. If the garbage collector isn't around reclaim memory from out of scope objects, how does it get done? There's gotta be a thread somewhere doing something.
