More geniuses

The problem here is with the distribution of future geniuses. More likely than not they will be born into a population with low education. The probability of nurturing this talent for the betterment of mankind will be low. In highly educated populations, the birth rate is normally low.

Given enough time, there is no such thing as a 1:n relationship.

Much like the Y2K bug kerfuffle, there will be a time when the Copilot bug will cause an upsurge in business requiring developers to fix the stochastic parrot code bugs. I think this will be sooner rather than later.

I'm sure you know this, David, but it looks like it's a yes, there is life on Mars.

Who is the judge of “inflammatory” content? It’s just censorship plain and simple. Why not let the truth be told?

Edit: judging by the way the votes keep going up and down there's a yin to the gatekeepers of inflammatory content's yang. These are actions of a rogue state y'all.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. As a a developer about to use the Pi at the edge, I can see how this would be helpful with delivering footage from the IoT devices.

I'm not sure I understand or would use AWS as the hub though, I would probably build my own server hub.

I hadn't considered an RDP use-case. Thanks!

I've used WebRTC in JavaScript, but I can't quite get why I would use this library. Can anyone respond with use cases?

Very nice, I've been waiting the longest time for something like this. I feel that WebRTC needs books like this, it's such an underrated technology.

I call BS on any corporation offering anonymity. I just don’t believe them anymore.

I’m glad that RISC-V SBCs are starting to become usable.

Same in Australia. The jobs are advertised but I never hear anything back. For me it’s not a racial thing as I too am an naturalized immigrant, but it seems the preference for subcontinental “skilled” workers is prioritized.

It’s the same everywhere. In the Australian government most directors who hire developers are Indian and seem to have all Indian teams on worker visas. It’s impossible to get a government position now. Last year three government directors were found guilty of hiring subcontinent developers for a fee.

Automakers admit? It's not theirs to admit to. Touchscreens are the only way to go. Buttons on phones went out years ago. I still have to look for buttons on my ICE car, and worse yet the buttons are hidden under the steering, have different tactile feel. And that's just this one manufacturer!
