Is that a fact? When was it checked the last time? No doubt someone got that result at some point in the past, but is it true today? For example reference counting on ARM-Silicon is about 5 times faster than on Intel.

If LLMs destroy half of entry level jobs, then surely that is a national emergency and Trump needs to introduce massive tariffs to protect American jobs?

(I'm not sure myself if I'm joking or serious here).

It's just a bad name. I wouldn't want to drive a "Great Wall" car. Tesla for example was a great inventor, quite well known for his work with electricity. So a good name for an EV car. :"Great Wall" I can just see myself driving into a great wall.

That doesn't seem to be the same thing. Say I can buy a brand new car for 30,000. The seller would like to sell more, but if they drop the price to 27,000 then the get 3,000 less per car. Not good. So they sell me an officially "used" car for 27,000. Most people pay 30,000; but there are some who find 30,000 too expensive and live with a "used" car saving 3,000.

The difference is that these cars are actually sold to real customers, who drive these cars for real. They are not parked somewhere in a hidden car park. They are real sales at a slightly lower price, producing overall the highest profit.

What these guys are reportedly doing is losing massive amounts of money to be able to report big sales numbers. If that car cost 23,000 to build then they now have 23,000 worth of car in a hidden carpark, losing money all the time while it ages. Not clever at all.

If my phone sends you an Imessage that should display an ampersand, it needs to send the html code "&amp", and your phone displays "&". If my phone sends "&" you want get a "&",

Like a spelling checker. Probably the same for Black and Decker, Marks and Spencer and so on.

Did you read the article? What you said is absolute nonsense. There was no text parsing bug, and there was no vulnerability. The parser did exactly what it was supposed to do and rejected invalid html. Just unfortunate that the same app also produced invalid html.

You better check all applications which accept data from iMessage and see if these invalid messages are correctly rejected.

Rejecting invalid html is an excellent feature. Producing invalid html is a bug. So someone wrote the bug, and someone else made sure that it had no security consequences.

JSON is very simple. Not parsing it correctly into arrays, dictionaries, strings, numbers, true/false/null is absolutely inexcusable.

It's the sender's fault. A single ampersand needs to be translated to two ampersands to produce valid html that shows a single one. A single ampersand is dangerous. Most vulnerabilities are created by developers who weren't scared enough. Who knows how you could hack iMessage if it accepted a single ampersand and interpreted it somehow.

Must admit the root cause came surprising to me. I had expected that two pieces of software couldn't agree whether that name was _one_ name or _two_ names, and that caused the trouble. I was wrong.

I suppose you could grow enough for everyone. They would be more expensive than now, lets say so expensive that you actually eat every orange or banana you buy and don't leave it to rot.

I would assume that many countries find producing this or that food inefficient. They _could_ produce some food but importing it is cheaper.

If you could produce the food within two or three years at some inconvenience and additional cost that would be good enough for me. For example, if the Netherlands produce food in greenhouses, then surely Belgium or Germany could do the same thing if they had a good reason.

Apple does _not_ intend to spend 500 billion dollars. Apple intends to make Donald Trump believe they are going to spend 500 billion dollars, until the subject leaves his attention span, and until the USA get a real president again.

They decided to risk murdering several people as the revenge for a stolen iPhone. Now some evil person with an IQ over 100 would have still made sure first that this absolutely 100% sure the home of the thief, but they didn't bother with that. So they deliberately risked to commit five murders as revenge for a stolen iPhone.

It's really amazing, that within 14 days 61 different devices would perform a search for a residential home. I would be very curious to find out who did these searches. Pizza delivery, taxi maybe, but 61? That's an unexpected high number.

Or did they include similar searches, like close house numbers or street names, or the same location in a nearby town?
