AI models that can perform well without sending everything off to the cloud to do so are going to be high on my wish list. Partly for privacy, partly for responsiveness, partly for resilience when the internet goes down. I’ve heard some rumors that this is a focus for the AI that will drive the next upgrade to Siri, and I hope that turns out to be true.

Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

Who says cows can’t lay eggs?

And don’t say “literally everyone”, that’s a cop out answer

My guess is that it will be a “nature highway” so migratory species can cross over the road

And get what money? The money’s spent, it’s gone, and the directors not getting another big payday like this ever again. They can spend $10k on lawyers to get the $216 in his checking account.

Yep, from way way back. BSD -> NextStepOS -> OS X -> iOS

In what universe does Linux run on 99% of mobile devices? Android is nowhere near 99% market share, and iPhones are not and never have been based on Linux.

Local elections are the time. That’s it, that’s the answer. Third parties have to build up heavy momentum in smaller elections and only then build up to bigger ones, and eventually the big chair.

Doing very little at the local level and making a big splash once every four years is not a strategy for public policy or even for public debate, it’s solely a strategy for fundraising.

Hiring someone that OpenAI chose to fire is pretty clearly fair play, but how does this declaration not directly run afoul of anti-poaching laws?

Honestly thought this was a gourmet Ruffle at first.

So a plumbing business which books appointments via their nothing-customized Squarespace page, that’s a tech company? And you would think it appropriate if a news story about that plumber causing a water main break being posted to a technology news feed?

Having a website does not make a company a tech company and you are objectively wrong if you think it does.
