Both of you are right, Trumpers are incels and grumpy old folks who feel heard by the troll... opposition are anti-fascists who think protest makes a difference, regardless of age. This isn't primarily an age divide, it's a historical awareness and social empathy divide.

Yes it does, but video games are different. Nobody downloads an "update" for their movie that removes scenes or disables it. That is where the Stop Killing Games movement really should focus. It should be illegal to send out a patch that neuters the game, then announce version 2 of the game is on sale for $50.

The *WHIPLASH* of these two statements:

'Improvements to LinkedIn's detection systems have resulted in a 40% decline in views of content classified as AI slop, the platform said last month. That's not to say LinkedIn is entirely opposed to AI, Roth said, adding that "not everyone is a born communicator."'

YET -

'Roth said. "A lot of times now today, they'll run it through Claude or Gemini or wherever, they'll post it on LinkedIn and it will perform poorly. And then they come to the team and they're like, 'Why did this do badly?'" Roth said. "And the best thing you can do is give it back to them and be like, 'Did you enjoy reading this? Do you see yourself in this?"'

Essentialism is lame; people are born as a human. So participate. Learn to speak. Learn to read. Don't be illiterate. Don't be inmumerate. Rise above. Master yourself, and in so doing, emancipate yourself.

Use your self-awareness to improve and add to the palette of skills and abilities through your life.

It's not that hard. And I'm a programmer, so you *KNOW* I am the ultra-laziest in terms of applying time and space to problems (aka optimization!).

I get that different people have different priorities, but -- in the way that a radio transceiver is useful IF you know things like frequency, signalling mechanics, signalling protocol -- humans learn languages and use that to reason. To not develop your mind, is to throw away your greatest strength.

> Tesla's website says there will be three trims: Performance, Thrust, and Rocket. The Performance requires a $50,000 deposit. The Thrust, the one needed to hit the supposed sub-1-second 0-60 time, costs $250,000. The Rocket â" the one that can fly â" is a single-seat version of the car and is "Invite Only".

The Roadster is a "Halo Car" for the Tesla Brand and the Rocket Trim level is a Halo Trim of the Halo Car.

The purpose of the Rocket and the lower two trims of the Roadster are meant cast the entire brand as aspirational - that's what a Halo Car does, and nearly all the Automakers have brought out a Halo Car at various times, models like the Dodge Viper, The Ford GT, the Lexus LFA, the Ferrari F40 and so on. Expensive, Rare, often with major downsides, but they make people dream of owning one, and wind up on posters on bedroom walls.

There are all sorts of issues, regulatory and otherwise, with the Rocket Trim that get in the way of letting them out on regular roads (or even near them), and I am not sure that version ever will be. But it's not the first - right now brands like Ferrari and McClaren have special models which are not street legal, and considered "for track use only". And that's ok, because there are a number of people who are fine with that and do manage to get those cars out on the track.

I suspect there will be similar restrictions and limited areas where the Rocket version can be "driven" err.. "Flown", but there are going to be people who can not only afford it but want the unique thrill and novel experience it will provide. The Thrust Trim will likely be restricted to track use due to the rocket boost, leaving the Performance version the one you might actually encounter on the highway or more likely see parked in front some expensive restaurant. And when people see it, some will point and say "look, there's the car that can fly!"

Just a nitpick here, but CSV, Subversion, and Perforce were in heavy use at the time and do not require checkout/lock.

I agree, the real danger of this is that the documentation requirements will swiftly become so complex and verbose that only an AI can write them, and only an AI can read them. Humans will no longer even know what the effect of the documentation requirements is, they can only hope some of the remaining original purpose (keep the reactor safe) survives the AI rewrite.

Precisely. And in a sane world (15 years ago), people would be pushing for exactly this. Monitoring should be for alerting and observing; control should be distinct, and monitoring should never require the ability to control simply because some manger heard the phrase "autorecovery." Instead, we have this. I'd like to blame the rise of k8s, which made people feel like problems didn't need to be resolved or engineered, but it's also cost and lack of foresight/battle scars.

If these were highly remote locations and getting a human to them in time to fix a problem was going to be a challenge, then maybe remote controllability would be important. But this is a damn supermarket; there's going to be somewhere there or nearby constantly. Dear Lord.

Of course sales will be slow, they usually are... people are not as willing to buy a console that will soon be out of date. But, on top of that, Playstation (and other console makers) usually drop prices late in the life cycle for this very reason. Because of the AI house of cards, Playstation instead raised prices. To be honest, it's kind of surprising it's merely 25%.

Google says that patent expired in September of 2025, as it was filed in 2005. Yes, we are getting old.

Personally, I prefer the old rectangular Thinkpad charging connectors.

Democrats are not "prioritizing trans athletes". It is Republicans who talk about them all the time, incessently. You are example #1.

I would love for my devices to have their AI models local like Apple did. It is really annoying to say "Play song ABC" and even though ABC is a local file, my device goes to the cloud. But Apple gave customers privacy, security, and resiliency - and everyone complained that it took up space. So next time you want to complain that companies are requiring Internet connections for stuff that could be done locally, remember that someone tried and it was rejected.

Lulz @ ars. Hard to get good help these days, I guess.

> These levels may further drop because Heninger's team did all the coding by hand and used no AI or GPUs in performing the forgeries.

Using a GPU doesn't change the number of bits of useful encryption you have. Whoever wrote this has no understanding of what they're talking about.

The estimates of the number of children who died due to cuts in USAID is in the tens of thousands. Still terrible, but you don't serve any constructive purpose by exaggerating by several orders of magnitude.
