Attached to: Apple: You (Still) Don't Understand the Vision Pro
Apple wants to pretend that the Vision Pro is an innovative product and not just an incredibly overpriced knockoff of the Meta Quest VR headsets. So they call it an AR device. And to make sure everybody gets the point they made sure to not make it immersive. I don't understand why they won't just admit that this isn't some fucking huge idea and admit that it's just their own version of VR. Apple didn't pretend that the M1 was the first ARM CPU or the first SOC and people still loved the product. Why not just let the Vision Pro be VR and drop the pretense?

Attached to: Apple Bundles Creative Apps Into a Single Subscription
Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription package makes sense; most professional designers are using at least three of those apps on a daily basis. But these Apple apps serve four different fields. Who needs to do video editing, graphic design, music production, and live sound? Is that person a three-horned baby of two unicorns? This is a solution in search of a problem.

Attached to: iOS 26 Shows Unusually Slow Adoption Months After Release
People hated the Frutiger Aero era of Microsoft design. Nobody wants it on their phone. Apple needs to get back to making innovative products instead of shoehorning stuff into the hardware and software just so they have something to advertise.

Campaign finance reform and anti-corruption laws come first. We canâ(TM)t balance the budget when anybody can bribe politicians for handouts and tax cuts.

Attached to: New Tesla Video Shows Tesla Semi Electric Truck Charging at 1.2 MW
Electric trucks are viable for businesses that spend huge amounts of money on gas. If you're Walmart and you spend millions of dollars a day on gas to move stuff from your distribution centers to your stores then electric trucks make sense. Especially if you're sick of trying to make long term plans that can be wrecked by fluctuations in the price of gas. And you have these huge distribution centers full of refrigerators that gobble up electricity which is only going to keep getting more expensive as tech companies need to power datacenters. So you team up with some of the tech companies that are making small modular reactors happen and start installing SMRs next to all your distribution centers. Then install chargers at the distribution centers. Buy a bunch of electric trucks. Now you don't have to rely on gas or the power grid. Sure the investment will take years to pay off, but your company isn't going anywhere.

Attached to: Iran Offers To Sell Advanced Weapons Systems For Crypto
A side story here is that Iran, despite being a BRICS nation, would rather accept crypto than take payment in Yuan via CIPS. The clerics see how China has Russia over a barrel and don't want to end up there themselves.

Attached to: PhDs Can't Find Work as Boston's Biotech Engine Sputters
What China offers researchers isn’t big salaries. It’s research funding and the ability to just actually do R&D work instead of sitting at a desk writing grant applications. And China fast tracks human drug trials so researchers don’t have to spin their wheels waiting for approval to start testing. That said, Chinese universities and biotech companies do pay well by Chinese standards, so living well in modern city, unlike America’s crumbling disasters, is just a bonus.

Attached to: OpenAI in Talks With Amazon About Investment That Could Exceed $10 Billion
So Amazon is going to give money to OpenAI so OpenAI can buy chips from Amazon. And Nvidia is giving OpenAI money to buy chips from Nvidia. And AMD is doing some weird thing giving OpenAI stock warrants so OpenAI can sell the stock and buy chips from AMD. How the hell is Sam Altman convincing people to keep this house of cards standing? Is he really a genius running a company so amazing that this makes sense behind closed doors?
And how is OpenAI making its code work well on all these different platforms? Everybody else seems to be writing their code to run on one architecture. Does OpenAI have three teams of programmers adapting their latest code to work on three chip architectures?

Attached to: Ford Ends F-150 Lightning Production, Starts Battery Storage Business
Xiaomi built it's electric vehicle program in only three years with no experience manufacturing or selling automobiles. Ford has been around for over a century and can't even make one electric truck that consumers will buy. This company is going to be destroyed when the Chinese brands open factories in the USA. And the battery business is going to tank when Chinese companies open better battery factories in the USA. Investors need to clean house at Ford; replace the CEO and the entire board of directors before it's too late.

Attached to: Entry-Level Tech Workers Confront an AI-Fueled Jobpocalypse
Is the problem here really AI or are there just too many people graduating with STEM degrees? Businesses and governments have been telling young people to get a STEM degree for years, schools expanded and created new CS programs, parents all over the world pushed kids into CS programs, and now there are too many programmers for the market to absorb. Maybe the issue here isn't AI. It's just nobody thinking about education beyond filling the immediate needs of very loud businesses.

You cannot have creative destruction if nothing is destroyed. AI is going to be like the Linotype: most of the typesetters lost their jobs when the newspapers switched over. Then the book and magazine publishers switched over and they hired many times more typesetters than the newspapers laid off.

Probably gamers who need something to listen to while they play through the same mindless game over and over. The ones who are too smart to enjoy Twitch streams but not actually capable of reading for a sustained period of time.

Attached to: CEOs Plan to Spend More on AI in 2026 - Despite Spotty Returns
AI is only going to become useful for businesses if they actually engage with the AI companies. But if they keep investing in AI some of it will pay off. Nobody was making money from their internet experiments for years (the sysadmins were just using that T1 burst to download the latest kernel source) and now most large business would be crippled if their connection went down. It's going to be the same way with AI.

Attached to: More of America's Coal-Fired Power Plants Cease Operations
They won't even bother with keeping the plants online. The government will just direct deposit subsidy payments into the coal industry's bank accounts, Trump will proclaim that he saved some absurd number of jobs, and all the plant workers and miners will still get laid off and left to die with no health care.
