This extremely well hidden backdoor was an interesting find:

Apple's reputation of being highly secure was shattered by Operation Triangulation. This complex back door allowed the hacker the ability to utilize the on-device AI to sift through data.

Having experienced fed gov't IT projects I'm guessing it'll take 6-8 weeks and cost $500K-$750K to update that setting. /s
High end Windows 10/11 machines (like my Alienware I9 w/ 64GB mem + RTX4090) seem a bit sluggish. Low end machines with Windows are absolutely painful to use!
I've install debian onto my fairly ancient Lenovo X201 Tablet and it is exceptionally snappy.
Anecdote: I gave an apprentice a small vacuum to fix, when he opened it up several live bed bugs emerged. That was fun! /s
I.e. OP suggests FORD leave out all the modern safety improvements (air bags, crumple zones, ABS brakes) this is exactly the argument the GOP have about capitalism: regulations simply stand in the way of profits.
The whole article is narrow minded and short sighted IMHO.
100% this.
One of my absolute favorite keyboard designs: G915 TKL Lightspeed got relegated to the donation pile because the symbols were NOT backlit. Such a dumb design choice to save a few cents IMHO.
It doesn't seem extremely common, but the reports are for phones that are relatively new - not even two years of use.
The Motorola razr has crease issues that they seem to want to ignore and Samsung has locked down their phones so root is impractical.

The "possible standing figure" on the right seems plausible. Be interested in seeing what the actual painstaking restoration eventually reveals.
It constantly ignores explicit instructions (e.g. do NOT remove existing comments) and it's not nearly as intuitive in knowing the right questions to ask as gpt, claude or gemini in my experience from using all of them.
Prior to the last 12mos AI companies were hell bent on squeezing out the best results from mediocre models.
But... now that the top models have progressed, those same AI companies have switched their efforts into reducing the computation (cost of a producing a result) as much as possible without being too obvious.
What was an exponential slope in the quality of results over the last 36 months has now nearly flat lined.
Addendum: IMHO results have 'flat lined' not because the models aren't much more capable than a year ago, but because conserving the enormous processing cost (of an over subscribed user base) supersedes the goal of following the user's explicit instructions (e.g. especially if that means more processing cost) to generate the best results.
Every time I go back to trying GROK it is an abysmal disappointment.
Evaluating client value
Behind the scenes it is not hard to imagine OpenAI, Anthropic, et al simply minimizing processing for clients - like me - that are hopping from one to another to chase the just released SOTA model.
Stocks are feeling more and more like this also.
I've ordered gizmos from Lilygo in the past and found their support/documentation/updates to be very poor. Once a product is out the door they seem to do little further with it.
Churning out new products seems to be their forte.
I've been using ZFS for about a decade on several systems and can't say enough good things about it: rock solid, feature rich and easy to use are the top benefits.
It really needs more love!
That implies Karpathy is either dumb or desperate and he is neither of those by a long shot.
And there was another one in the basement of the old Toronto School Board building (where the new TDSB building now stands) beside Mel Lastman Sq. in Willowdale.
It seems that anthropic has added something similar to their browser UI because just in the last few days chat has become almost unusable in firefox. %@$#%
