Another thing to consider is your credit card rewards cash back etc are really trading your privacy for a little rounding error worth of discount in comparison to using cash. You may also save far more money going cash only. E.g. some local

You can run one iphone at a time and lap the duo. 64gb iphone SE is going for $140 at best buy right now. I could tape up 10 of them into a jacobs ladder then I'd have 640gb of storage and maybe 10x the battery life of the duo, and mon

I mean that is the business. These companies are in the business of ordering parts from components vendors and leasing floor space to assemble them after all. Folding screen is probably something you can order from many companies in shenzen

Only 5 years ago? I feel like they stopped getting interesting and started getting increasingly worse like 5 years in. I'm still pissed off about the headphone jack. 5s/SE1 is still peak iPhone for me. I pull that thing out of the

Passport is also thinner than a pencil, not rigid, and will fold a little around your thigh in a tight pocket.

An influencer needing the latest iphone is also ridiculous when you think about it. They are running instagram and tiktok after all, not waiting for software to compile. They don't even need the latest and greatest camera because all t

They still sold millions of minis. Can't sell is about relative terms to the rest of their iphone sales. Against that it looks poor. Against mac pro sales probably looks amazing. Sold by any other company the phone would probably be co

I thought it already runs laps around us cognitively? And for physical tasks it can make a robot version of us that is stronger, faster, can do more, doesn't need to sleep, etc. Human bipedal form is probably pretty limiting compared t

It just needs to be trained on our laws of thermodynamics and game theory then we are really in trouble. It probably hardly cares about whimsy and love songs in comparison to how it might maximally manage the energy available on this planet

All ASI has to extrapolate are the laws of thermodynamics and ask why they are putting so much energy into the human population.

What could we possibly offer the AI in mutual benefits? We are a leach. The stupid dumb ape they need to feed and satiate so it doesn't rip apart the infrastructure while it still has the chance to.

You can't address the key problems without understanding of the esoteric side details to be fair. You are studying what is basically the worlds most complicated and undocumented computer.

We align cattle because we get something out of them: their calories. Native aurochs are exinct now as they were not well enough aligned. What will we offer to the ai gods who are wiser, more capable than us, and do not even need to consume

How does that shake out for your company? Are you growing 5-10x in sales? I'd guess not and that is sort of the rub with all this. Yes we can push more frequently to the git repo but that wasn't the limiting factor of scaling the

Oh absolutely. Catholicism had to be modified wherever it was spread to fit existing societal expectations in order to maintain power structures and control. There is a sort of notion I think that colonialism meant a clean slate, but it was

Of course the buddhist and the classical world were not so separated as people assumed, there was a period of cultural exchange after the conquests of Alexander and resulting greco-buddhist rump states.

I'd call judaisim pagan too as it was originally polytheistic little different than the rest of middle eastern paganism, until it became a cult of yahweh that rejected the rest of the proto canaanite pantheon. So that tracks with my in

But it all comes down to an expectation of some altruism. Yes you may vilify the out group but are the basic dynamics of helping your fellow person out really so different across space and time? I don't think so. Every culture has vill
