All I could think about when watching this demo was how similar capabilities will work on the battlefield. Coordinated AIs look like they will be obscenely effective. Everything always starts as a toy.

It’s a spectrum, or a road. It keeps giving and giving.

I thought it was obvious that this is what I was referring to. It’s interesting that people don’t see how traveling with wiped devices sends red flags. I wipe and restore. But I have been questioned twice about whether I plan to sell the de

A good solution while it remains legal and backups remain unreachable authorities. Are they unreachable? How sure are you? Aren’t you just raising suspicion and acting like a criminal by walking around with wiped devices at International bo

Once you give governments power for security purposes, to “save the children,” or to “prevent terrorism,” they will use it for any purpose they please. It all started in the US with the patriot act after September 11th, and now we have warr

It’s not though unless it’s reused a great deal. Making paper is intense and requires a LOT of water and chemicals. We should really look for more lower hanging common sense solutions. Let me give you one… the boxes that are used to transpo

The way to fix it is to find a material to replace it that’s cheaper and doesn’t have the downsides. We might be able to limit one time use plastic with government intervention, but not the global plastic industry. Call me a pessimist. But

You mean why are programmers lazy? Oldest question in compsci my friend. The answer is because it’s efficient.

Much ado about nothing. Didn’t LG do the exact same ad some years ago? Seems like the real conversation here is about the total lack of originality here: this is so, so far from anything Steve would have approved.

Conflating “low-latency information with small-minded cognition” is a fundamental error in thinking. Timeless wisdom and fundamental truths would never exist were this true. And they do.

Indeed, but tradition is not necessarily the only way to have safe policies. We have many more advanced escape systems that work incredibly well these days. I’m sure there are alternative escape technologies that don’t involve windows in a

lol, my bad… I copied and then posted the wrong link. Is it insane that there are 2 different videos of people breaking their fingers with cyber trucks though? Can’t edit but this the right one: https://m.youtube.com/short

Japan just used fiber optics to run sunlight to inside apartments for natural light in skylights. Obviously the apartments are cheaper typically, and as long as people get exposure to light like this they are generally ok. I feel like this

If anyone wants to see the video and skip the article here’s a Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/comments/1cinxjl/finger_vs_... It’s about 50 seconds in. I cannot comprehend this man’s choi

Indeed like the GDPR but I think less like what the GDPR has become and more like what it was based on. The original idea was the quote, “Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.” I

A culture of design docs tends to push everyone into a justification layer for their work. Justification culture, even when it’s peer reinforced as culture, is a fairly repressive pattern to innovators. This system tends to prevent visionar

We need to stop trying to “fix industries” and put the privacy protection into a human rights framework with a privacy bill of rights.

We've stopped going to the movies since this service came out, and bought a bigger TV. We don't want to pay the movie food tax, movies are now packed with people and unpleasant to watch in our area, and it's just not an enj

It’s been a bad week for apple. Before the next spate of “what happened to quality at Apple” articles come out... I would love to know objectively if there are actually more problems or if it’s just bigger impact or an unfortunate run of pr

This is the key point. It’s too soon, the jury is still out on the new ceo... but these are encouraging signs. We’ll see in time, because at the end of the day the only real thing that matters is that the culture actually does reform, all w

Well if you figure a mile of urban freeway in an urban area is an easy 5 million per mile which makes it about a thousand bucks a foot. That doesn't include annexation or planning, just construction. A tbm can make a tunnel for 19k a f

It sucks. I have beats from apple and AirPods and it still sucks. I'm constantly having to swap headphones and they are always running out of batteries. Older houses I visit - which was super common on a trip to the Far East recently -

If I had known that they were going to run this through the Central Valley instead of down the coast where it belongs I never would have voted for it. It should have gone straight from la to Oakland or emeryville, turned and gone straight t

That's just generally the problem when reading sufficiently advanced expert commentary outside ones field though, isn't it? Many times deep experts in the same field are themselves the only ones capable of calling bs. I remember a

That is perfect. I have to say I adore the community here. Even though sometimes comment threads dive into slashdot level examinations of detail and occasional political mess at times, the discussions are typically quite enlightened and rem
