1. More irrelevant stuff. A kernel level vulnerability can nullify all sorts of good faith security design. 2. I could sue you today for, well, pretty much anything. I don’t have a good case but I can file that lawsuit right now. Would you

The math literally works. The US mandates by law that we grow a fuck ton of corn to mix 10% ethanol into gasoline. If you replaced just those cornfields with solar/wind, they would power the entire USA and a 100% electric vehicle fleet

Elon is a pathological liar and it’s crazy that he still gets sanewashed after all he’s done. It’s insanity that he hasn’t been kicked out of leading his companies, and it’s also insanity that he hasn’t been prosecuted by the SEC. You’ve sp

1. Not related to the issue at hand, a completely different system implemented in a completely different way. 2. Settlements are just that: settlements. You can be sued frivolously and still decide to settle because it’s cheaper/less r

Well, now you’re just doing the same exact thing I described. You’re basically making up hypothetical things that could happen in the future. I’ll agree with you the moment Microsoft does that. But they haven’t done it. And again, I’m not t

I don’t plan on using the feature and I don’t plan on using Windows much longer in the first place, but I find that going beyond the ragebait headlines and looking at the actual offering and its privacy policy and security documentation mak

I think the subject is actually detached from green versus not green. A company that greenwashes is showing that it’s willing to lie or operate in a false reality, hence the lower stability and performance compared to other firms. I suspect

That’s totally fine, but most people are not professional Mac and iOS developers, and most people who are have a company issued laptop. My iOS apps are developed entirely on a Linux system leveraging cross platform frameworks, and App Store

To clarify what I meant, “what we have” means “the AI capabilities we currently have,” not “our intelligence.” I.e., what I mean is that we don’t have any AI system close to human intelligence.

This is a great analogy. The term AGI so obviously means something way smarter than what we have. We do have something impressive but it’s very limited.

Sure, to each their own and their own reality, but I think most people would consider something with a bold name like “artificial general intelligence” to at least match an average employee peon. We aren’t even really in “minimum wage job”

Apple should honestly just deprecate and remove it with the level of effort they put into Time Machine. Look, face it, Time Machine is not really what Apple wants you to do. They want you to buy cloud storage and just store your documents (

It’s not even “a single hole,” it’s that companies can change their mind at any time. That person doesn’t work there anymore. For all we know Zuck could wake up one day and say “that’s it, we need the data and revenue from reading WhatsApp

Let’s be real: the standard is “Do we trust Meta?” I don’t, and don’t see how it could possibly be construed to be logical to trust them. I definitely trust a non-profit open source alternative a whole lot more. Perception can be different

It seems like your link isn’t even very supportive of your point: it doesn’t touch on the topic of location, and it affirms the rights of businesses to track business usage. The protections described in the article are mainly around busines

How do we know it’s not just a crappy wrapper? What’s the difference between just uploading documents into a general purpose LLM and asking it to cite sources? I would also add as feedback that it’s kind of scammy to use the word “open” and

> Apple gives zero fucks about security. Hyperbole doesn’t help your point. They definitely care about security, their profits depend on it.

I do sometimes think about slow burn movies and how they are hard to find outside of Oscar bait type of pictures. Just looking at kids movies, something like My Neighbor Totoro has many scenes involving ambient sound with no dialog or backg

Or a price hike if the fleet API tattles on you for negative driving behaviors. It may not be on the marketing copy but it’s almost certainly present in the contract.

I dunno, there’s a pretty substantial cultural AI backlash that is almost certainly costing sales. Over half of Americans have concerns about the technology [1]. I think that backlash wouldn’t exist if the US had comprehensive privacy prote

Does UPS have the right to know the location of its drivers? Of course it does. I don’t know that we can draw broad conclusions about worker rights on this issue. My company probably DOES need to know that I’m not taking company information

I’m sorry but the idea that anyone near middle class would make the decision to drop their entire retirement savings on a single high-volatility business in a new product sector like e-commerce is insane. The average retirement savings at t

Well, from my subjective POV, the earth is flat. The point of my comment is that a subjective anecdote from a very limited perspective isn’t telling a good story about why the industry is the way it is. You said these businesses aren’t effi

Yeah, nobody makes this “margins are too low” complaint about Costco, which makes the majority of its profit on memberships, the exact same business model as Amazon Prime. Amazon the logistics company is paid for by the $100+ per year that

I think you need some kind of source to back up the idea that IT or the software industry as a whole isn’t efficient. Software companies have much higher profit margins than companies that ship physical products. There really aren’t many in

Don’t forget the giant investment from his parents. Lots of people with great ideas, skills, and work ethic don’t have $250,000 lying around to invest.
