I really do wonder whether, should push come to shove, a Peter Thiel will really be better served in a small country like New Zealand that doesn't have many pushers & shovers at which to direct its ire, or back in the land of his f

I admit this is a factor I hadn't much considered. I'm sure at some point, if not already, the data collected by your phone will enable the equivalent of a tracking pixel on your physical location, so you can get personalized ads

It's a good question whether Banksy really is a crossover, or only a crossover in market terms. I would definitely call him a high master of stencil technique though, some of that stuff is pretty hard to pull off. As clever as his art

I would say that's moot, because OpenClaw has already shown us how fast the dice-rolling super AI is going to be let out of the zoo. Dario and Sam will be arguing about the guardrails while their frontier models are running in paralle

If you're running local models, Apple Silicon's shared memory architecture makes them much better at it than other similarly-specced platforms. If you want your "skills" to include sending iMessage (quite important in th

Or does the field become plateaued because engineers treat "writing code" as a "solved problem?" We could argue that writing poetry is a solved problem in much the same way, and while I don't think we especially n

So much so that one wonders whether that was the point. Make a lot of noise about privacy, force massive spend in the general direction of the EU, fund a new layer of bureaucracy, and actually do nothing to harm the toxic business models th

Off topic, but I love how every country has its weird abbreviations that seem obvious but really aren’t, like BayObLG for Bayerisches Oberlandesgericht (Bavarian State Superior Court) or something close to that. Or how every British cop sh

As others have said, the benefit is speed, not quality. And in my experience you get a lot more speed if you’re willing to settle for less quality. But the reason you don’t see a flood of great products is that the managerial layer has no

To be fair, writing did destroy memory. It's just that in the very long summer of writing, which may now be coming to an end thanks to AI, we have considered the upside more than worth it.
