I think you're on to something, but to me it has more to do with being part of the set of issues that intersect political policy and ethics. I see it as facing the same "discourse challenges" as: abortion animal cruelty laws&

Agreed. Its not Apple's style, but they could have opened the ad with some cringe fake scientists discussing how to shrink and/or combine and/or smush music, books, art, etc together. And then at the end show them excitedly r

I don't think there have been any currencies that have been deflationary for 100+ years so it's impossible to say. Obviously currency risk is what you have to watch out for though if you're not able to consistently both spend

This is an overly simplistic model which happens to have applied very well to Japan but would break down if applied in other economies where inflationary risk is present. I'm pretty sure there's a joke about there being three type

Those would need to get cycled a lot(many times per day). You might want one for your house if you wanted to charge quickly at home, but for charging stations, I think more realistically they'd have 10x less charging spots if each pers

Sounds like they were using the Range header on large files. I have made systems in the past using exactly this pattern(without the intentionally dropped requests). I hope this doesn't result in any significant changes as I really like

I have the same concerns. I wonder if they could have a "double tap" setting where you would have to press tab to see the suggestion, and then you could press tab again to accept it. That way, you could "opt in" if you k

I love loom. I also wish it did a lot more. Excited to see more happening in this area. Video content creation tools are something Google has needed for a long time. Between YouTube, youtube shorts, generative AI, and everything loom does,

Is there a possibility here that mining could actually have a positive impact on biodiversity? I've read that creating artificial habitats can positively impact local fish and coral populations. Is it possible that the mining could be

I also think this is a very interesting approach to take. This might be a pipe dream but it would be really cool if we could just turn a big chunk of desert into a battery by plumbing some heat exchangers through it. Or maybe just putting a

I'd argue the solution is even simpler and has been known for decades. Land value tax.

This is clearly wrong. 1 quadrillion for wireless? That's 125k per year per person... That's over 10 times more than global gdp.

I have had the same experience and agree that it was incredibly frustrating. I am considering moving away from text-based communication in situations where I would be offended if I received a generated response.

I don't understand ai valuations right now. NVDA has market cap of 1.8T and all they're doing is the middle part of the value chain. OpenAI is doing all the actual productization and they get a valuation of 20x less?

Can we just stop with these absolute positions already? You can justify horrible atrocities if you strongly believe in extreme outcomes. Effective altruism, accelerationism, doomers... All of these mindsets are toxic for the same reason tha

100% agree that there are different levels of marketing lies, and Gemini was lying about tech where this is just acting/staged. I was mainly referring to how in both cases the creators are using this "fake authentic" tiktok-s
