Every time I see the acronym “AI” I cringe a little bit. It’s literally not AI! It’s very quick statistical work; which works for many circumstances but definitely is not AI. Especially when it doesn’t work.

Apple has a very interesting approach to these type of app monopolies. It "nationalizes" the monopoly app by creating a generic version of the same app. The problem is, the generic app versions are exceptional in that they have mu

“pauses for a call, incoming or outgoing” This is a pretty standard feature on most mobile operating systems. It’d be like saying “I like the how I get a notification when I receive an sms”

It amazes me how calm and collected those cosmonauts seem to be as the literal rocket they’re riding is falling apart. They’re reading out the time and levels and they’re careening back to Earth; “weightlessness in our sensations”

A whitelist? Huh? What is this the 90's? I'm pretty sure the algorithms use something more intelligent than a whitelist. A whitelist would be a major loophole in a spam algorithm.
