Myanmar is still in a civil war - correct?

1. Seems odd, given WeChat is on iOS… the example you used is literally a counterpoint for the allegation. 3. Messages do interop. But it’d be hilarious if the US created some kind of precedent where everything has to work on everything. 4.

No. Works in the dark. The vision has IR lights on it. No the personas aren’t right. They just creep people out. They need more work, or some basic editablity. It generally nails your eyes perfectly at the expense of everything else.

It already happened to Apple in the 90s and Jobs explicitly killed it as a strategy and culture in Apple. I think if they went back to that they’ve lost a serious bit of their DNA. You mentioned Mac only having a 20% market share. Who has t

It’s genuinely better than a 5k monitor. In the recent update it now lets you mouse off your Mac and onto vision apps just like iPad hands over. It made me switch my desk setup to have the desk attached to my chair so I can have 360 range o

Article has nothing to do with revealing Banksy name. Court case names his company, not him. They bought a Banksy print without verification and now they want Banksy to verify it. Why did they buy it if they didn’t know? Whole thing feels o

A launch and return to the same rotating body is surely a simpler maneuver than orbital transfer to a different spinning body and landing. No doubt we are better at it but I’m not sure earth landings are an accurate analog.

Yes, they were. The opium wars were about the West forcing China to allow more western interests in China. It wasn't isolation like Japan, but it was heavily restricted access.

It’s pretty solid on well understood facts, physics, mathematics. It’s not so good at problem solving, it’s pretty good at code in some languages but it others. It’s quite good at translation in a number of languages. It’s great and fiction

But that’s free. So what did they acquire then? Logins?

True. Like how mathematics declined once the calculator was introduced. Those abacus civilisations are still laughing at our stupidity.

That’s right, being a CEO is exactly the same as being a software engineer. /s Perhaps they believed and had passion for the vision. Then why would you leave?

I think I disagree with almost all of his examples. But his overall point feels accurate: Tesla just seems constantly distracted with “the next thing”. Why are they building a robot when they haven’t finished autopilot/fsd? Why are the

A lot of difficult (for Tesla fans) truths in this. Obviously Lessig is not a fan of Elon, but it is strange that he makes the statement “If Tim Cook were CEO I’d have endless confidence” (paraphrasing). Tim Cook has been trying to build an

You are proving my point. So what they charge in business is unrelated to their cost. They are paying for a lot more than they are getting. Exactly my point. So “having a good business model” is punishable?

By this definition everything is a monopoly in an arbitrary constrained environment. Toyota is a monopoly for RAV4 manufacture. Can you get a RAV4 from Mercedes? Monopoly!

Think you should be responding to the GP - not me. I agree it’s not a monopoly. Hence why I pointed it out. GP made the monopoly comment.

That’s why I took it to another industry that is clearly charging a fee that is unrelated to its costs. Capitalism says: the market will figure it out. Given Apple does not have a monopoly. I don’t see how any of this is a problem. If they

I think I misunderstand what mono implies in monopoly then. If there is another - more popular provider. Isn’t it at the very least a duopoly? Or are we redefining words now?

How can the “second most popular phone” have a monopoly?

What’s the egregious bit? Because Apple were so successful with their product they should have a cap on how much they capitalise? Do you get upset at business class in airlines? Or cinema food being so expensive? Isn’t this the point of cap

Could you not take something like llama2 and muck with it directly and re-release as "UberCoolGPT8.5" (even with legitimate improvements). Or in OpenAI world, "fine-tune" a standard gpt3.5 with something useful (and some

True - we know exactly where it is, how far, what technology will be required and we have light speed communication. The six month sailing journey sounds waaaaay more ominous.

Sorry that was a typo. It was 37. Fastest selling car, most units sold in a day/week/quarter/year… I don’t know how else to say it. My point was about EV popularity not trying to boost Tesla.

- Average miles driven per day: 67. - Average cost of a new vehicle: $48,000 - Fastest selling vehicle ever made: Tesla Model Y. Just some data points to consider.

I think we are looking at this from perhaps different sides. Oil is only ubiquitous because we painstakingly distribute it. My point was we already distribute electricity quite effectively (without trucks and pumps etc). I’ll concede a high
