Got a few different opinions too with others quoting €3k for a new cylinder head and €1.5k for a new timing chain. Only issue was the alternator belt had a nick on it and needed to be replaced.

🤷 Looks like they just announced it "If working with militaries or defense-tech companies can help ensure that democratic countries dominate the AI race… then doing so will not contradict OpenAI’s mission of ensuring that AI’s benefits are widely shared." www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/04/1...

Windows runs the world due to corporate deals, one of which was shown to be monopolistic but by the time it was proven by the courts the other company was bankrupt. Even if ChatGPT has some functionality it can't eliminate enough labour to justify the capital cost of models and hardware.

I got a paper back from an academic publisher a week ago that had clearly been copy-edited by AI. It took three hours to unpick the issues it had caused and the errors it had introduced. It's v exciting that we now have a product that increases my workload and that my university is mad for.

Although, when you can manufacture an excuse for laying off 10% of workers based on a metric that is unrelated to the tasks involved in the job $240K is a pittance for the shareholder value gained in the short term. www.businessinsider.com/tech-compani...

Sinn Féin think they can get away with abandoning trans youth in the executive against written party policy because the only thing the media in the south cares about as little as northern ireland are trans lives.

I'd hoped that the Apple switch to ARM chips would have made it more of a first class citizen as developers needed to get stuff working on their own ARM machines but I guess we're still only at the start of that process.

Finally got around to redoing my home server and I can't see understate how much I regret getting an ARM SBC instead of something x86 At least I can feel good about the power use since it does all I need it to do while drawing less power than an LED bulb, but it needs so many workarounds
