   Can you point to the triple A derivatives blowing up? I’d like to read more about that.

   Besides paying money you also go through a (pretty simplistic) audit. It’s about the only way we have to know who published some code, which is important. If you can come up with a better way you should implement it and we’ll all follow.

   Or has the Russian keyboard installed, even if not used IIRC.

   Thank you for your insights. It’s making me question if term limits is the solution I always thought it would be.

   I wonder what would cause that. It seems intuitive that it would happen, but like the other commenter I don’t recall any bad smells when we used on growing up. But it was also a very dry climate, so maybe that is the solution?

   I agree with you. I misread “VCS” for “git” and that’s where my (mistaken) disagreement came from.

   Any code base?? I question your depth of exposure.

   I suspect Apple doesn’t have access to everything typed into a web form, or in a notes app, even if those values are erased/backspaces, not saved, not submitted. But Recall does. All usernames in all apps/websites. The content

    I understand the sentiment, but I have a hard time seeing any educational value is 99% of anything I’ve ever seen on tiktok. There definitely were bad teaches, and I assume still are. But the window and paper airplanes weren’t tuned to su

    Causing death threats seems cruel and unusual. Taking away money and a platform doesn’t seem in the same league.

    Seriously? Maybe I’m blind (and if so please point out what I’m missing) but I only see one side that: * seems to be increasing and supporting racism * has members trying to start a race war (see recent news) * has many members saying it’s

    My mother and I were just discussing how dumb people have gotten in just the past few years. It’s like they don’t think any deeper than a meme - no nuance is considered. You easily see it in the political realm. The only thing we can com

    ChatGPT just told me: "The 2020 U.S. Presidential election was won by Joe Biden. He received 306 electoral votes compared to Donald Trump's 232 electoral votes. The results were certified by Congress, and Joe Biden was inaugurated

    Realistically, who would ever use this? An OCR of everything on the screen, saved every few seconds? I can’t imagine finding something useful in a haystack of that size.

    The ability to go in and grab your own data (which you have to do using some app or another), and do whatever you like with it, such as back it up, move it, inspect it, or try to get the data into a new app because the old app no longer run

    Thanks for that. And Wow! I had no idea there was so much ongoing activity!

    I work for a company that has a product that, as part of other functionality, can selectively block access to any file, so it could simply block access to the database, or even the Recall exe/dlls themselves. We’ve been debating about

    So your personal net income in 2022 was $10,447? That’s not enough to live on so I must be misreading it.

    I’ll chime in on this - my wife and I were just talking about it yesterday. I’m mid 50’s. I had perfect 20/20 eye sight until about age 50, and now I can’t read almost anything without reading glasses - it came on quickly, but doesn’t

    If memory serves, that was actually a limit in the WinInet library that most/many HTTP clients were built on.

    Maybe there is something damning on there that someone needs kept quiet for a while?

    Sometimes it seems like there is no choice but to be strong. But in reality someone could choose to give up and give in and quit. Not making that choice is what we admire in people, and you in particular.

    I suspect the reason is AI isn’t trustable for important things (yet?) so they can’t do the big cool things without getting sued out of existence when the AI destroys lives because of bad medical or investment or safety advice.

    And everyone else decides to come in on the days they do. But hey, they said the “best” (fantasy) case so let them dream! That would be my best case too!

    I’m just about to lose a friend from this. So wish the science was further along for everyone. Hopefully in the future for others.

    You’d like to think so, but Trump has also long had such a reputation (long before politics) and it doesn’t seem to have hurt him.

    Having spoken to a friend who does traffic for a city, traffic light controllers are generally (always?) hard-wired to prevent an all green-type situation, but they have other weaknesses which I won’t go into.
