If you watch it carefully, he preempts the AI with "What do I do first" before it even answered the first time. This strongly suggests it did this in rehearsal to me and hence was far more than just "bad luck" or bad con

It's funny now that Apple is speculated to have a foldable phone on the drawing board, I can hear in real time all the tech "journalists" swinging their viewpoints around from considering it a joke to saying what a good idea

Of all the arguments presented I'm surprised to see absent the one that seems most obvious to me: encryption is just math, there's no way to actually ban it. If criminals think their conversations are going to be detected they are

The question is going to be how much human intellectual input there was I think. I don't think it will take much - you can write the crappiest novel on earth that is complete random drivel and you still have copyright on it. So to me,

A lot of that comes back to the lack of power in the type system (type erasure, lack of union types, etc). If all that code throwing IOException could express better the type of fault, and if the error handling could them in a more nuanced,

Youtube is fascinating to me because it never made any sense. At the time they were starting bandwidth was expensive. How the hell did they pay the bills for that? And then every single rational piece of logic said they would be sued to obl

It's a slightly different context, but Apple probably would have gone out of business if Microsoft hadn't needed them so badly to exist due to antitrust. Hard to imagine how different the world would have been now if that had happ

I agree with you and one of the most important ways is that it bakes in an assumption that people cant grow, learn and change. Life is all about learning, adapting and changing. Great leaders see the potential growth in people and are up fo
