Surface Neo came out in android form called surface duo. It had the amazing hinge that somehow locked in place when rotated just the right way. I think The windows version never came out because MS couldn’t commit to this form factor

Compare those to an ipad+phone+macbook. For a $2k price. What does this duo offer over the alternative? Does it have extended desktop support for a docking station???

Nukes have difficult maintenance and deployments. AI is is readily available software and hardware. That makes this far more accessible than nukes. The fear is that developing AI at full speed will lead to giving people the ability to do in

The tweets justify his position that this is bigger than nukes. Nukes still have the problem of production and deployment. This is just software. He is blowing the whistle on how reckless we are at furthering the tech. There is no second th

I am thinking that Palantir has fully established tech and AI systems to be weapons of harm. All tech companies should now be seen as private defense contractors. We are sleeping here

What would proper governance of a powerful flock like tool be? It is a public private partnership. Public benefit. Public infrastructure. Private collection. Private software. Private computing. Private access. Private power.

I wonder if we will ever get AI-optimized language sets, ie code instructions given specifically to AI agents to develop code for a JIT interpreter. This gives the same results each and every time the instruction to AI is given no matter t

The FSM is a fetish attempt to mock some of the world’s largest religions. One day I hope to see the FSM come to be the exact mockery of the people who made it, ie the ones who take somethings in life so damn seriously that they make it som

I got to say that while i had heard about jwst every week or so on how it was getting delayed and being overrun with costs, I didnt hear anything about Nancy grace. They were similar in price too.

Try using ladybird as a fit alternative. It will be complete within your lifetime, and maybe even in firefox’s lifetime.

Given the possibility of setting up new memory fab plants takes 10 years, given that data companies are spending money on power plants based on power consumption forecasts, but are not spending on memory fab plants, I take it that data comp

Yes the search feature plus using tabs and spaces bring about accessibility. Frequently it misses the underline letter , alt keyboard shortcut.

Somehow that is a bigger insult: reducing a desktop to act like an iPhone.

You would be baffled to know that after the creation of the mouse, Steve Jobs wanted to remove the arrow keys so developers would be forced to create mouse only interfaces.

nitpicking: Sumerians were the oldest civilization to have been found using cuneiform or scripted writing. The actual civilization to have truly invented writing is not known.

You fallaciously conflated what was said with religion. Religion was not mentioned anywhere. This is politics and war. And so is selfishly based on personal vendettas and agendas.
