About apple4ever

I'm pretty opinionated but always willing to listen to polite debate.

    I think you are really underestimating how much memory prices are going to impact everything. I mean, look at Apple, they raised the prices of the HomePod mini and Apple TV- why? B…

    That's definitely fair, and for people like you, it makes sense. And yes, running local ones actually are the best of both worlds I think, because it puts less pressure on the memo…

    I do agree, and generally that's what I do. Because then I actually learn instead of fire and forget. In that example specifically, it was a bit of "let me see how this works and h…

    Either it's being proposed or other people tell them about them. It's not hard to find out where datacenters are.

    Holy moly that's just unbelievable when shown in graph form.

    Wow that's actually a really good idea to prevent delivery theft by the delivery person!

    It doesn't matter. The perception is all datacenters do AI (not necessarily wrong nowadays either) and that's all that matters to the public when they see so many lost jobs and hig…

    That's a really great point. So much about our world is about perception . I think the datacenter concern is overblown for the most part (except putting them next to houses), but t…

    This is why I'm so hesitant to use AI. There are other reasons (for example: the journey is the fun part, not the destination; and I want to learn not have something done for me), …

    That's definitely true for me. I utilize Safari Tab Groups and have about 50 groups for various unfinished decisions (some of which are just To Read)

    Really really good article. Surprised it didn't get more commentary around here.

    Very cool! Someday I'm going to make my own, but in Objective-C, marrying my favorite language and my favorite processor :)

    It was the TI-85 for me, but that's how I got my start in assembly language and how I came to love the Z80.

    Agreed, in fact I don't think copyleft software is free software.

    It's not though. I want more sun when I'm awake after work, then in the morning. Permanent DST time is actually better in every way.

    As you said, that was 50 years ago. Technology and culture has changed since then. I think Permanent DST is the best, because more sun in the afternoon in the winter is better, but…

    > my personal takeaway was that the PJM market is just very dysfunctional and they are blaming the datacenters instead. That matches my thoughts after reading it too.

    This should be illegal. No two ways about it. Companies should not be allowed to do this.

    What were the scandals? I still listen to TWIT and MBW, but they are so long and too preachy sometimes. If you get past that and some other things (constant AI talk), they are stil…

    What a milestone. Still my favorite processor, and I have about 10 here at home in various yet to be finished projects (of course).

    Interesting, I never realized they had different companies based on membership type!

    Same, and the couple of times I had to use them for car insurance (and once for renters) over 20 years, they've been great. Thankfully, I haven't had to use them for home insurance…

    That is how insurance is supposed to work. It's not meant to cover everything. Only the things that are hard to pay.
