Unless you want to do the "well actually GNU/Linux" thing Android is sufficiently different from most Linux OSes that it doesn't make sense to refer to them as the same. For the longest time the Android Linux kernel actu

It's so weird they leaned into the idealized idiot group (not necessarily actual idiots) when smartphones do such a good job of capturing them. It's like they're just kind of done maintaining the OS and want to liquidate it.

This attitude means the shared institutions go away since the group you don't like doesn't want them to begin with and are a very large (possibly majority) of the people you have to share them with. The only way to fix this is to

Most of the important ones I took had: 1) Written in person exams that were most of the grade (this includes "blue book" exams where you have to sit in front of the professor and write an essay on whatever topic he writes on the b

It's not even really the land, it's the cuts + certificate of occupancy which have both been made artificially harder to get for a number of reasons.

I'm a younger (1994) Millennial and borrowed just $10k to finish my degree. I paid it off the first year I was employed. Very few of my friends still have loans. I'm pretty sure if you got yourself into a never-ending monthly paym

That's the thing though. Apple's internal ML team has amazing output for the small amount of money they're given. There are very few companies with better talent. If they scaled up the Capex for ML they could probably match o

Apple does their own language model development and worst case could host eg Qwen or Deepseek. That would be an absolutely insane waste of cash. Their problem isn't inability to develop or lack of access to technology, they're ext

Firstly it's all very intentionally coupled together. There are strict rules around how the UI and notifications are used specifically so that they can sell your attention. Secondly I think the only thing I really miss that's part

Yeah I actually don't own a smartphone at all. I don't know why you think I shouldn't talk about them after making that decision though.

I think what you meant is the right way to turn people into serious enemies.

The few among those things that even reliably function are covered in ads and defects to the degree that you're better off without them. The illusion is that you're getting a computer and not a collection of knickknacks and applia

It's a social problem not a technical one.

Smartphone hardware is almost completely useless because of the software. At this point it's pretty obvious that the potential (but unrealizable) utility is just more of the luxury illusion they're selling.

Short answer indeed. Cellulose, which is most of the plant mass, has a ton of energy stored in it but we can't access that while many animals we eat can.

They were destroyed quite some time ago. You're only just noticing because the people who are squatting in them are much louder than the ones who left when they fell.

A good portion of them did get a mortgage. To my knowledge none of them have car payments, most drive used beaters like I do.

Quantitative stock and crypto trading, a mindfulness web extension, some really basic hardware projects I'm going to commercialize, I'm thinking about starting a youtube channel.

Is solana even decentralized? I thought it was like ripple. I haven't been paying too much attention though.

In my mind if something has any kind of DRM it simply doesn't exist/isn't available.

Blueray or even (possibly combined with) a 3rd party service probably makes way more sense for small businesses and individuals. That's what I currently use for archival.

This stupidity isn't leading to growth though. I'm actually shorting them because their inability to produce products that actually add value to their customers lives is already manifesting in earnings/sales decay.

My understanding is this was set up to happen roughly a decade ago and is just now manifesting. It has pretty much nothing to do with DOGE.

We already have a pretty burdensome welfare system, it might be that we've gone too far towards UBI to make middle class musicians practical.

I think often people really want to ask if it's human but know that's a ridiculous question so they rephrase it.

I know someone else who uses Grok and has the "learn from my responses" feature turned on, he claims it generates memories (like chatgpt did for a while) although he might just not understand how the dialog engine works.

Someone should build a SAAS to deterministically generate a blog post and title from a URI so we can automate this. I wonder if they'd change the site rules to deal with it.
