Perhaps it is time for the walk then.

You’re not really making an argument. Honestly, you’re just making a fool of yourself and come across as argumentative and disgruntled. Go for a walk.

It is distasteful to make such accusations. Specially when the author has specifically left out the calculation and merely suggests of a “fraction” which is to be discovered with time.

You don’t understand OP’s point because you’re assuming vulnerabilities don’t exist. That is utter nonsense.

Lots of Lenavo laptops do just fine, but Apple hardware is still supreme for what it is worth.

The movie builds the narrative and the subconscious biases which is more sinister.

This isn’t dismissing what Meta is doing, but Cinema in the West has been just as complicit and involved.

> There’s a big difference between fiction when the viewer knows it’s make believe and when it’s presented as factual.

The difference is far more nuanced and borders on inconsequential when it comes to mass media influence on society.

Just because something is presented as fiction or for entertainment doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact your psyche or your perception of the world and others.

What do you mean by this?

I use a combination of big American AI and self hosted but I don’t understand your point.

If something happens again and again, it is by choice. Firebase chooses to make it “easy” to get started rather than “secure by default”.

Trust in governmental institutions is at an all time low.

Questions must be asked about how and why we got here rather appeal to submission.

Of course it is speculation. I don’t have a magic ball. But only a fool ignores trends!

They adopted in the sense of surviving. Considering their head start and massive government support for the industry, their market share compared to Japanese and Korean cars is a joke, with the Chinese it will get even worst because this time they will be pushed out of their home market too.

This comes from a die hard bmw fan. Facts over feelings.

The German Engineering is a byproduct. The culture that created is also the one that is holding it from becoming competitive with Chinese automakers.

Like almost everything, utility and efficiency is relative and dependent on the environment and external factors. People often overlook the “fit”.

The article is definitely write or at least rewritten or heavily editorialised by an LLM. You can confirm this by skimming the author’s previous articles and compare it to this one, specially pre-2021.

Nothing is more comical than AI Slope declaring that I kill AI slop:

> your AI writes like a LinkedIn post. make it write like a Boeing manual.

> An agent skill that forces LLMs to write docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: the controlled language aerospace has used since 1983 so a tired mechanic cannot misread an instruction. AI slop dies as a side effect.

MCP is just API, and we have been there already and we know what happens: Businesses realise they can’t extract maximal value if they don’t own the interface so they recant the API.

Because corporates operate on a religion with forever changing principles with trends and speaking against the vogue trend is taboo.
