Most of the things I've seen basically say 'no'.
There are commercial displays that don't have spyware / connectivity, but they tend to have significantly lower refresh rates / HDR / etc. even if they are 4k. And they're several times the price of consumer TVs, at least in part because they aren't being subsidized by selling them at a loss to make money on ads.
Agreed.
I strongly remember a CompSci professor ~2005 being disgusted with auto-generated Java GUI. And yes it was clunky and more memory intensive than it could have been, but also, I really don't care about how GridView is defined most of the time.
Bad code is bad code, touched by AI or not. For working code, a volunteer group spending resources to determine if it might have been touched by AI is at the very least an incredibly frustrating standard to try to meet. And very likely impossible to verify in any meaningful way.
Ebay or second hand shops are a pretty good entry point. You can get a decent camera and lens for ~$100-200.
Too expensive, too big, and too military were all arguments for computers, radio (/radar), and GPS to never have widespread adoption.
It's a cool experiment/technology. Why so down?
Absolutely, it's not their problem or their business.
But the 2025 tax cuts saved just Facebook ~$11bn in 2025 alone. Meaning across all US mega-corporations there are trillions of dollars not being allocated in whichever way voters want, but going to pet projects and yachts because they have more money than they can reinvest in their business or know what to do with.
Just Facebook spent $80bn over ~10 years while paying less of their income in taxes than anyone reading this.
The WHO estimates $7-8 billion a year to end world hunger.
RAM has not come from China, and China isn't exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn't have anything to do with tariffs.
The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don't exist yet.
The hyper green golf courses in Vegas are truly eye catching when you fly in as well.
Yes.
Which is why it's bad that the only 3 companies with capacity currently are colluding.
If we can reduce the shockwave from sonic booms that could directly lead to more efficient plane engines. The main current impediment they have is the tips of the turbine blades can only get so close to the speed of sound before they explode from the forces they're experiencing.
Which could have knock-on effects for anything involving an airfoil moving through a fluid. Helicopters, boats, wind turbines, hydro-power, etc.
Better understanding and control of the physics / materials science at the sound barrier would be very good news.
They're publicly traded companies. Their investor meetings point out that HBM is not more profitable.
It is in theory more guaranteed profit because it's a smaller number of bigger contracts. But that's the gamble they're making.
