Microkernels are a great idea, but they need better hardware support (literally different architectural decisions) to work optimally. They can be made to work on modern CPUs, but they're never going to be great there. This presents a chicken/egg problem because nobody is going to invest a billion dollars making a new kind of CPU for an OS that doesn't yet exist.

Where I live, public chargers charge upwards of 80 cents/kWh. If you assume an efficiency of 16kwh/100km, that's 12.80/100km. Really not much (if any) cheaper than gas for an efficient car.

Home charging is where you save money.

To be fair, people in the gig economy don't tend to be good with math.

Generative AI - such as Chat GPT and friends - doesn't create anything. It predicts the next word or pixel based on the sum of the input into a neural net. There is no creativity. Thus, by definition, it can be no more "dangerous" than the training data.

The people screeching about the "dangers of AI!!!!" are basically the DEI department in the AI world. They add nothing of value but get paid too much to leech off the companies that were doing just fine without them. They have to keep everything at emergency level so nobody will notice that there's no substance to what they're saying.

Ignore them.
