Not to worry. I’m not so naive as to think that is how it will actually play out.

I’m sure like most things under capitalism, smaller companies will be liable, but we’ll bail out the big guys!

Given the high costs of AI, isn’t it reasonable to assume that whomever stands to make a profit is equally liable for it’s outcomes?

This is one of the very rare occasions I believe what he’s saying…

Good point. But, while a dev says “My bad” and fixes the bug, a politician just shrugs and often doubles down.

At the very least, the Dev will explain to the team why a bug happened so that others don’t repeat the mistake, but a politician won’t address any of the three scenarios you identified.

I fear this metaphor is stretching to breaking point, but the central point remains that it should not be acceptable for a politician to lie, yet somehow here we are…

Except bugs are usually unintentional and, with a good team, found and fixed before they cause any harm - usually before they’re public.

The equivalence would be non-political fact checkers and public apologies and/or policy changes. The media has given up on the first (for the most part) possibly becase politicians just ignore the second.

Politicians stock-in-trade is information. This is their work product.

I am a software developer. If I turn in software that doesn’t work. I get fired.

JD Vance, and all other politicians who lie should also be fired for not doing their jobs.

This is the world I want to live in.

The web. It was good while it lasted.

While congrats are very much in order here, am I the only one cynically wondering if the word “Out” in the headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting?

Older white male here, and I fully endorse this. We just need to find one first…

Agreed with that. Two years is the norm in most of the G7, so why Canada is lagging is surprising.

Then again, where doesn’t Canada lag…?

Right to repair is only part of the solution. We’ll almost certainly need an economic shift that rewards (or compels) companies who make their stuff repairable. While we’re at it, we should also try and deal with planned obsolescence, too

Honestly, it works perfectly with a cable and it’s not laggy at all (at least not for writing code, which is what I do for a living). I also use SwitchResX to go beyond the normal resolution my IPad Pro supports. My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn’t connect first time and I have to restart the software on my Mac.

The only downside is the cost, but i am pretty sure there’s a free trial for it.

There’s an app called Duet (https://www.duetdisplay.com/) you could try. I’ve used it for a couple of years and it works well.

I think it’s more technically correct as “of whom are you afraid” as you should not end a sentence with a preposition.

Then again, I’m a software engineer so perhaps not.

The headline suggests the Police are looking for comped accounts…

Isn’t flying the flag upside down against the US Flag code? Then again, so is turning it into clothing IIRC.

Are you saying I shouldn’t have clicked it…? LOL
