Since we’re whipping out credentials, I’ve been in IT almost 30 years and I can tell you it’s not going to work like that.

I'm not the person you were replying to but I've also been in tech since 1996 and lots of things have worked just like that. All successful technology starts off barely functional and improves over time until nearly all members of it's intended audience can successfully use it.

As an example in 1996 setting up a router was a specialty task that required training, by 2016 any moron could buy one off the shelf and have it running in an hour. As another example basic HTML was a specialty skill in 1996 but by 2003 you could do it with Microsoft Word. Smartphones are another example, they went from barely functional Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices which required ridiculous amounts of back end skill to deliver email to iPhones and Androids that any numskull can use for nearly anything at all.

My point is this; too many people are stuck on the "What use is a newborn baby?" question without realizing that the infant is growing-up at blinding speed. It's also the first technology to carry the promise, real or not, of self-improvement when it reaches sufficient maturity. Assuming that happens all further improvement will be increasingly automatic and happen even faster.

AI isn't going away and it's only going to get better as time goes on.

Yep it's tiring but comment aged link milk because the very next day a bill was introduced to Congress.

Not even close, both of these projects are wildly deficient for that kind of use and the effort required to solve those deficiencies would at least 10x if not 20x the cost.

That doesn't mean they are useless, I can definitely see some eyebrow raising asymmetric possibilities.

If you're seriously interested in this DIY Radar System I strongly suggest you grab a full copy from Github and put it on local storage as I doubt it's going to remain up for long.

Two States, California and Washington, are not "The US" any more than France and Germany are the European Union. They are important no doubt but they do not themselves represent the entire entity.

And what is the actual work requirement to copy-paste you post to your twitter?

Zero, there's plenty of software out that there allows you to write once and post everywhere. This isn't about declining engagement either since they are still reaching literally MILLIONS of people every year.

This decision was reached because of Xitters owner, no other reason makes sense.

Alpha Centauri is a game I've had since release. Ended up building a dual P3 1Ghz box so I could play without experiencing extreme slow downs during end game when the whole world is visible.

I still do a playthrough once a twice a year.

Assuming its not cheap piece of crap that isn't UL listed and that's where the problem is.
