Frigate is an excellent open alternative.

If Microsoft was really ambitious about building a product truly competing to the Macbook Pro, they would need to ship it with a radically different version of Windows.

Microsoft cannot just throw upgraded hardware after the Surface, and expect it to compete with the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is not primarily popular due to Apple Silicon, but the combination of a focused user experience (although, Liquid Glass was a significant step-down) and high-end hardware.

I owe my whole fascination with programming from childhood to Visual Basic 6.

I was 11 and I could hardly read English, yet VB6 with the WYSIWYG-editor and an introductory book by my side was intuitive and rewarding enough for me to learn the basics of programming.

I think you might be underestimating how many potential customers are unwilling to buy from Tesla after Elon Musk decided to openly support the MAGA wing of republicans.

Not sure why that makes you more inclined to buy a Tesla or flip someone the bird?

Well, in many safety-critical industries (e.g. manufacturing of medicinal products) you actually need to maintain objective evidence of its validation.

I feel like the “investing in the customer” part always seems the case with HP. The products never work properly unless you are willing to pay them more money or live with the extreme amount of bloatware in their PCs.

Designing a prototype car for trials vs mass production are two different things entirely. Those lidar sensors will become far less intrusive once a car is designed for mass production.

Most likely, the existing Waymo cars have their LiDAR sensors equipped like that because they need to be maintained and swapped at a regular basis.

I think the value proposition is more than enough for mass adoption, once people realize they can work and commute at the same time.

No, and must likely the ethical committee review would reject the use of a placebo group in the study.

It is a reflection of exactly that, but this completely dismissed all the risks: - Maybe new ml-tech is invented that does not require as heavy equipment. - Maybe AI does not grow as fast as expected. - Maybe a competitor comes along and pricing comes under pressure. - Maybe supply chain issues.

No-code and no-specification is confused all the time.

That needs some nuances. There are some processes that are just well-known by research to be standardized - like supply-chain, regardless if JIT-style or forecasted stockkeeping.

SAP does not need to touch the "unique" detailed processes that makes a company great, nor it's culture. But if you e.g. manufacture a product, the design process can still be relatively unique to your company, but most often, the manufacturing processes should follow the high-level blueprint of manufacturing companies.

That's neither feasible nor required. Copenhagen still has cars in city centre - personally I drive my bike 95% of the time, but sometimes I need to use my car. However, I much prefer my bike because it's faster, less troublesome, infrastructure is great and the exercise helps.

Create incentives for biking, but don't outlaw cars.

It is actually not only because Keto is calorie deficient, but also because it encourages ketogenic metabolism, which means that while you are calorie deficient you are more effective at burning fat. Compared with a standard calorie deficient diet, you have more stable energy levels throughout the day, because the body adapts to not getting carbs.

Yes, that would be a nice future. But how do I get to the office, now?

But the discussion of whether something is renewable is also a complex topic that is only true to some extent. Renewable energy sources (Wind and Solar) are technically not renewable - the production of the equipment uses raw resources that we (today) cannot renew indefinitely.

However, for both Nuclear and Solar/Wind energy we do know, that the energy sources are sufficiently abundant to sustain us almost indefinitely without us upsetting other ecological balances.
