Well, that, and because humans require oxygen to remain conscious. If there's so little oxygen in the air that your car won't start, your car won't be the worst of your problems.

OTOH your self-driving EV could perhaps evacuate your unconscious body from the area :)

What part of that document says they have to be networked? I skimmed it and didn't see anything like that. I found some stuff about remote operators, but those appear to be optional.

AI is killing bitcoin

The bitcoin data centers can make more money selling services to AI. While they will operate in parallel for a while I expect that to be displaced over time.

Bitcoin after 15 years has no easy practical use. Venmo is more useful than bitcoin. Even the big blockchain programs have mostly wound down or have collapsed in scope. There are still a few but all are now small time or specific use cases.

Once mining becomes unprofitable bitcoin will collapse. By design bitcoin is set to be unprofitable. (Halting event) bitcoin by design is deflationary meaning it is supposed to lose value.

Well, the Nest 2nd gen thermostat was sold from 2012-2015 (when it was replaced by the 3rd gen), and support ended in 2025, so, 10 years.

just install Windows on it.

Yeah, one of the things I like about Claude (and Gemini 3 as opposed to 2.5) is that they really clamped down on the use of "Oh, now I've got it! This is absolutely the FINAL fix to the problem, we've totally solved it now! Here, let me write out FIX_FINAL_SOLVED.md" with some half-arse solution. And yep, the answer to going in circles is usually either "nuke the chat" or "switch models".

That's not even the problem, the biggest problem is it doesn't reach its own goals. You should be able to use Rust without using Unsafe, otherwise it doesn't solve the problem it claims to solve (or rather, it solves them in a "good enough" fashion, the same as smart pointers in C++ and there's no reason to switch from one to the other).

It's pretty clear you're lying.

After a few failures, I generally give up using an LLM and look elsewhere.

Always P=NP is true for some subset of the problem.

Every time I see someone talking about AI being a junior developer, I am quite certain they have never worked with a junior developer.

You are accusing MIT of committed scientific fraud. You better have evidence if you're going to accuse someone of that.

But you don't. You didn't even read the paper. You're just an asshole.

Most of the Indian H1B visa holders I've worked with have been pretty good at their job.

I've come to accept that this as true, and further conjecture that bloat is often a corporate/institutional goal.

This seems to be a joke, but in reality corporate incentives are aligned to make things more bloated. If you're a manager, then the more people you have under you, the more power you have. This means you want your people to go slower so you have to hire more of them.

I don't have a solution but there must be one.

Putting bean-counters as heads of tech companies almost always fails. It Killed Yahoo, the titan of the early web.
