No it doesn't work. What happens is that it was a startup and signed up "customers". Then a company buys them and starts charging actual money for the "technology" and the customers disappear. Happens all the time in the tech industry.
All the marketing hype about "AI" didn't translate into sales. Here is how to tell a technology doesn't work: Someone comes out with a technology that does X (like plays Chess) and says yeah, but it could be applied to do useful things Y and Z. The question needs to be asked: then why not demonstrate it doing useful things Y and Z? The reason is because it doesn't work. It is really good at X, but they don't know exactly how it can do Y and Z. Meanwhile, billions have been spent on marketing campaigns. Typically taxpayer money is thrown in to support the farce.
I never said Moore's Law was about speed (it is about density). But practically, it means that processors will get more powerful. Guys like the poster think that is going to continue forever. But it won't (and hasn't).
Nope. Moore's Law is about transistor density per unit area. Practically, that translates into more powerful processors. Moores Law is dead, and with it goes the promise of ever increasing processor power.
So you are claiming that Moores Law is alive, even though Intel itself said it is dead? Guys like you are delusional and think that CPUs are continually going to get faster and faster. But yeah, I am an idiot even though you can't even see what is happening.
Nope. That isn't how Moores Law works. Even Intel has admitted Moores Law is dead. The point is there is no "new process", there are physical limits. It isn't magic. People always get upset about this, because a lot of them are pinning their hopes of the future on it. But even Intel knew it wasn't going to go on forever.
This just marks the end of an era. Moores Law is dead (and has been dead for quite some time). Intel will need some other way to innovate. All they have been doing is adding cores and trying to push up clock speeds. Even this is running into a dead end: because of physics. The entire industry will need to come to grips with this, because a lot of people assumed Moores Law was going to continue.
Why pay attention? Tesla calls it an "autopilot". "Auto=automatic". So its all automatic. Just like an automatic transmission where you don't need to shift, the car does it for you. Similarly, with an autopilot you don't need to pilot the car, it does it for you.
We all know only good things come from the sea. Like seafood and mermaids. Unless the uranium in the ground is certified organic, I would stay away from it.
That is why tech guys are such big Musk fans: they all believe that technology will solve all of our problems, and Musk has latched onto that as well. It is nonsensical of course. His companies are producing products for the 1% while grabbing taxpayer money from everyone else. Fortunately for Musk the overlap between tech guys and the 1% is pretty big, so you have delusional people like Rei and Bruce who can see no wrong. If they really believed in delivering affordable EVs to the masses they would invest in one of the car manufacturers who are actually doing it, rather than Tesla which makes playthings for the rich.
See? Nuclear power is 100% safe! It is natural: it comes from the sea. Pumping the radioactive waste back into the sea will just return it to its natural state.
The bigger news is a whistleblower is about to blow off the lid of one of the biggest scams of the decade. Gross margins and production numbers were overstated. Waste is rampant. Faulty batteries were installed in their $80,000+ cars in order to push production numbers up. Elon is going nuts trying to blame it on "shorts". It is very entertaining to see it implode. Meanwhile, Nissan (and others) are making a $30k EV that is available right now, no reservation required. When will Tesla make an affordable car available? Never.

The Washington DC one is a Verizon switching center, not an AT&T one. You can go look yourself.

Well, someone is. (Hint: it isn't me)
That was almost coherent.

It won't die, but it will need to find new markets in order to continue growing like investors demand.

It means "we need to bring in a consulting company to understand this. Please send money."
Hate to break it to ya, but we all have mites on our skin. Perfectly normal.
I love the direction this new Slashdot is taking. Definitely a winner.
I particularly liked his "Voices from the Hellmouth" series. I haven't read his "post Fukushima" narratives but I am sure they are equally as good.
I seem to remember that developers need to sign their apps already (and have for many years). What am I missing?
Expect a similar treatment for ALL COMPUTERS and devices connected to the Internet. Don't think it will happen? Just wait.

The same reason I use C++ instead of Microsoft Word!
Is this like the "Little Lisa Recycling Plant"?

This shouldn't be a surprise. He came from Paypal. Are people forgetting what a scummy company that was? The comparison to Enron is apt.
