Maps used to be a map with place information. Now it’s Yelp with a map. For most of my journeys, Apple Maps is more reliable.

Maybe HP / brown sauce. Would be familiar.

Don’t worry, the deeply principled conservative justices will never allow some random bureaucrats to legislate.

I’m sitting here in my driveway in my Tesla Roadster after it autonomously drove me from Boston back home to NYC. My robot servants are folding the laundry I agree, totally not far…

It depends on the solution. If AI is generating value, you can charge for the value. Most SaaS already works this way. M365 or Adobe Creative Cloud are great examples. They value i…

Absolutely. My uncle got taken by an “investment club” supposedly endorsed by Warren Buffet and run day to day by some real financial person. All communications were via WhatsApp. …

Yet you can’t run Linux on a Chromebook with a minor child user.

There are different ways to go. I lost my beautiful wife to cancer that was aggressive. The ups and downs, the terror and the joy of hope is brutal. At some point she knew, pretty …

If.

They want their $19.99 so you cover your other stuff.

They did - they turned a 24 month loan/AppleCare that you could re-swizzle with a new phone and exchange the device on the same terms (except the cost delta for the phone) to a shi…

What if I don’t want to “own my phone”? Look, I have one camera with me and one child. As long as the camera gets better every year, I’m gonna want a better camera, every year. I d…

It’s all about the AppleCare. I’ve used the upgrade program from the beginning. The issue with it from Apple is if I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook I’m not gonna buy the $20/mo Appl…

It’s actually a super popular bike route as it’s a 20 minute path to the central business district downtown. And again, 4-5 people have lost their lives in as many years. In this c…

In a nearby suburban town, the GOP Chair forced a referendum on a road project. New York has a complete streets program where bike lanes and pedestrian friendly crossings are inclu…

I had a similar experience. In my case, they gave me a few dates to fly out and do some sort of final boss talent show interview. Then… nothing. I got the sense it was some interna…

It’s a forcing function. If you are running a company you need to be in control. Some engineers dngaf or will sandbag everything. We did a 90 day push and identified where we found…

Worse, they’re running tests that are hacking third party computers with no controls other than “guardrails”.

Are they? The word “guardrail” is mostly novel in common use, and in my interpretation is some bullshit applied at the LLM or surrounding system. It’s used like “firewall”, but eve…

Ah, yes. The airgapped lab with internet access.

I don’t smoke but when I would consult in large companies especially I’d always find the smokers and pop by on my way back from a walk. They are always a good group of people, with…

Data is the new oil, AI labs are the new steel mills.

I think we’re closer than you think. I grew up in a similar place - my school had a rifle and trap team. Great place to grow up. I’d often go out for the first they day turkey seas…

The more… enthusiastic gun people among us think that the national firearms act (which strictly regulates automatic weapons) is an abomination. It’s unique in that it’s the only ri…

The CSAM issue is both very real and abused by politicians. When I did some work with a police agency, it was explained to me that there’s a pattern of escalation with people and t…
