Operated with food delivery robots for two years in a major downtown city area. City councils were excited but they can't accommodate as much as school councils though. Also fun fa…

Glad I'm not the only one

What's cool also is that this is from the West African tech scene.

I found a book teaching HTML at a library somewhere in 1995. It was in a visual format explaining what the markups do. My favorite was the one that made words blink. I typed things…

Microsoft grinds constantly and consistently though, sprinkled with some monopolistic tendencies now and then to clinch a win. I think the grind from Windows CE to Windows Phone is…

That's Bing Copilot and it's still not that impressive, it's just search engine with Clippy then. Google can't change for now, in doing so they undermine all the AdWords accounts, …

In short: a chat bot is not AI.

Xbox, Surface. Holo didn't go far. May return back to mobile in some form soon. Services, and their sales team, are still Microsoft's strong point. Apple seeing its services grow a…

Airbnb hosts do this. An engineering friend of mine has documented and labeled every aspect of his vacation rental in Hawaii. The only thing is, it's styled the same as the 1980s t…

You built Patreon, even that stock photos carousel you have above the fold is ripped from patreon.com but the rest of isn't even built out. So yeah, you niched down to say creators…

Health insurance is a coupon code you subscribe and pay for every month.

Did Google culture in 2011/2012 then again in 2022/2023. 2011 was watching them recruit and hire everyone smart enough to sit around to just make stuff and eat each other's dogfood…

I know much more about this. You'll have more luck building relationships with VCs that focus on dual use military tech, with partners that have prior military service experience, …

The website reads fine, there's even three FAQs to answer your questions at the bottom of the page you referenced. Job Corps is a training program for 16-24 year olds as an alterna…

Started web dev five years prior but went through the same trajectory in the 00s. This is rather clever and reminds me of ajax. The a11y focus is great, definitely modernizes this.…

This is the part of inflection where corporate personhood and GAI makes it so that no one will talk to your chatbot.

The magic sauce is the empathy part. Which is different than what was done back then in male-dominated, boomer-centric work places. It's equivalent of making a safe space before em…

A realistic portrayal. Always amusing when I step into a conference room and the little cubbies or trays full of post it notes and sharpies and markers left behind telegraphs how t…

My non-English-speaking first-gen immigrant grandma that assembled rice cookers in factories back in her day figured slide down for notifications, right slide down for control pane…

After twenty years of hearing the same thing over and over again I believe the actual fallacy is that ideas are a dime a dozen, good execution is hard. Now I learned ideas and exec…

I don't get it. On first boot my iCloud email is already setup, I add my other three email accounts (2 gmail, 1 self rolled). In the Mail compose window I have a dropdown that lets…

Good memory, x.ai indeed was a calendar bot in place of a virtual assistant before chatbots were a thing.

No one was using Android phones in 2007. It was BlackBerry and Moto Q days.

Spatial computing as an idea is from early 2000s. It was in Wired and sci-fi pulp and something the graybeards would hobnob about. Sometimes it just takes 20 years for an idea to c…

Tested spacetop last year; it's not good for extended use. Glasses were dim, it's Chrome OS based so web apps for everything. You have infinite virtual desktop, readability is good…
