The standards might one day be a problem. As in, maybe, and one day. Not definitely, and not currently. Sometimes it's worth not worrying about problems too far in advance.

That's true. If they're doing a clever balance then it seems good.

It seems a mis-prioritization of the kind that makes me dislike Apple products. To avoid the imperfection of a bit of fan noise, throttle the entire experience. Great.

Can you help your manager get better?

I think some other interesting questions are: Is it getting better? Is it going to continue to get better? When will it be good enough to not have a driver? No technology that's actively being worked on is "done". It seems si

Do you have a theory as to why drcode feels "FSD is a significant quality of life improvement for me"?

Currently, it's definitely less reliable than Waymo, but is available anywhere in the US or Canada, and is coming to more countries soon. The other factor is the trajectory of each endeavour. Waymo are gradually adding more cities, and

The participants of the study were recruited between 2009 - 2012, before most fake meat was a thing. Presumably it will get its own category in some future studies. The other interesting thing is that soft drinks & confectionary were in

There's several of them. The most annoying for me was getting intermittent notifications to sign in to iCloud. There's also this one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250727947 I eventually just gave in

Anyone who disagrees with you about this should buy a Mac and try not enabling iCloud. There's constant nags and as far as I could find, no way to turn them off.

Does it need to be, though? You can survey healthy but senior populations about their habits, and then over the following years track what happens. If medical records were public, the answers could even be in those for any medicines that ar

If people think like this, it won't happen even by 2524. Elon's job is to massively accelerate that timeline.

I was wondering this too. The length is about half of ISS, and the altitude is about half or lower, so it seems plausible that it could be quite visible from some places. I wonder if the proposed flight path for these tests is published any

Apple can't acknowledge that Airtags are an anti-theft device, because if they do, they would also be implicitly acknowledging that they are a stalking device. The only reason why they can sometimes work against theft is because thieve

I would call it an ultimatum. Quitting: You decide that it's time to go. Firing: Your boss decides that it's time for you to go. Ultimatum: Choose between these options, or it's time for you to go. The only part that might no

OK, so what's the bar by which Altman would be considered "non-technical"?

I've seen this mentioned a few times, but is this true? I could swear I've heard him mention that he uses ChatGPT for programming stuff. He might not be a super technical software engineer, but is he "non-technical" in t

Interesting point. It's either that or Ilya also didn't mention it to the board. Seems unusual whichever it was.

> It’s not good form to bad mouth someone you’ve fired. Instead, it's good form to wait 6 months and then do a Business Insider interview on the topic? Also, "bad mouthing" suggests putting a spin on it. Based on the artic

It feels like one press release may have changed the outcome entirely. Shouldn't the board be capable of agreeing on a press release among themselves?

by jfoster 2y ago
If the board had shared something equivalent to this article at the time, perhaps there wouldn't have been such an intense internal pressure campaign. Instead, they did not even attempt to communicate any rationale behind their actions

That's true. Property tax can help, but at some other level of over-supply, it doesn't even matter what the property taxes are. Once there is far too much supply (perhaps to the extent that it would be a bubble), pumping millions

Put it this way: if over-supply were a problem, what would happen?

Perhaps, but AWS certainly doesn't do a very good job of highlighting the most simple way to use it. This is the user guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Welcom...

Does insider trading apply to real estate in the same way that it does to securities? It doesn't seem so different to any mixed-use project where a developer might construct a tower that is partly residential, partly commercial. Pretty

It's a bit surprising that Aldi (and other supermarket chains) generally don't invest in residential real estate.
