Taught or forced? That’s ridiculous. My kids like to play in our yard. I do woodwork as a hobby. My neighbors spend summer by their pool. I like my privacy. I like quiet and space. I like strong community. I spent 15 years apartment living

Musk gets special benefit because anyone paying attention knows that he’s 5 years late on everything. I’m fairly sure we were supposed to be living on Mars several years ago, by now. I agree it’s false advertising, and musk should be held a

My reference to kickstarter was a metaphor, so I’m using kickstarter to describe a similar situation that occurred when people bought a capability that didn’t exist in the hopes that it would.

“duped” isn’t the right word here. People optimistically paid money for a thing that didn’t exist, in the hopes that it would. People bought into a kickstarter and are entering the “find out” stage

For 100% of tasks that an F35 can perform? I know we currently have this capability, but aren’t up to speed if you can rely on it everywhere and every situation.

Wow, I had no idea Anthropic was doing $850m revenue. I know they have high costs, but as a startup that’s some phenomenal income and validation that they’re not pure speculation like most startups are Edit: founded in 2021 and with 1000 em

We know the MS antitrust case. I believe the point was that suggesting someone isn’t an adult is not productive. They could’ve simply referenced the case directly.

That’s a significantly higher bar. It’s not foolproof though. I believe in most countries, customs can inspect your luggage. They can’t force you to reveal information that they’re not even certain you have. Under your situation, the best i

How useful do you think this is in practice? Wouldn’t it rely on app-level memory scrubbing and page clearing and such as well, if you wanted to truly make sure it’s unavailable? Do Apple offer APIs to assist there?

Every type of defensive tech is nothing more than driving up the cost of attack. Doubling the dwell time for a scammer will halve their profits. That could have interesting second-order effects. Perhaps it makes it not worth it for some sub
