Comments like this always ignore the fact that in the olden days before phones, a majority of people read newspapers or books and busybody news columnists bemoaned how everyone was lost in their media instead of socializing. Literally nothi

There's growing popular sentiment that being a millionaire/billionaire at all is morally repugnant and antisocial behavior that deserves to be shunned, if not punished.

And we take away people's ability to drive when they kill people.

This is like suggesting fruit and veg could outcompete heroin. You can't compete against someone who is willing to cheat. You can't entice users to a better social network when their addiction to the old one has been engineered to

It's so you buy a new one every few years instead of keeping the same TV for a decade or two. Capitalism cannot survive when products last a lifetime.

"Linux" encompasses everything from microcontrollers to planet-scale supercomputers. You can, in fact, build a Linux that runs in as few resources as you like. No qualifiers.

And the US might grow a government with a spine and take Android away from Google. It's all hypothetical.

As I understand, that was not at all uncommon back in the day. There were no senior developers, the technology simply wasn't old enough. You'd find teenagers with vastly more knowlege and experience than any older developer simp

I inherited a project two or three years ago which was consuming a Watson API. Obviously I didn't get a key, but I think they were only using it as a speech-to-text API. Really sad, actually.

You pull it from the edge of the bench to where you're working and press the switch at the same time. It's not rocket surgery

My boss is building out local AI hosting specifically as a hedge against USGov banning access to frontier models for everyone not on the crony list. Why play ball with a hostile government when you can host your own frontier models?

Claude by default deletes old chats after a few months. I installed a custom end-of-session hook that throws chat transcripts into a database so that any model can read any other model's chat history. Super easy

The financials are incredible. If you spend one engineer's salary on hardware, you get a system running local AI that can multiply the efforts of an entire (small) team of engineers. It's a very "you can't afford not to&

I was in a Meet call today. There were no fewer than FIVE Gemini buttons on screen. No fucking thank you, i'd like my software to not do that. If you want it, add a plugin yourself instead of forcing it on everyone.

Some also argue that not vaccinating kids is good for them. What's your point?

This is the exact reason I quit using Graphene. It felt exactly like selling out control of my device to the Graphene devs in the same way a stock phone is controlled by Google. Far, far too "opinionated" for my taste. I frank

The tinfoil hat answer is they want to ensure fewer people can run local LLMs instead of paying OpenAI for their models.

Apple has to have significant build infrastructure to support internal iOS development, surely? They can't just be using whatever is at the developers' desk, or a big pile of Mac minis in a closet. That's far too pedestrian
