> I don't understand the desire to run own AI models for programming locally. Privacy. Security. Not bulk uploading your trade secrets and intellectual property to Sam and Dario’s …

They aren’t prosecuted because they’re in a club that you are not in. Not all citizens have to abide by the same laws and rules.

The effort to erode privacy is so much greater than the effort to preserve it. Governments around the world are like a dog with a bone when it comes to increasing surveillance. An …

Where is your DeepSeek model hosted?

When you are bulk copying data off your former employer's network share, that is a lot more than "stealing ideas".

"Not training on input data" is not the same thing as "We will never use your data for any purpose"

Not sure about the "last true revolution" claim, but the release was a seminal moment in computing. Growing up in the 90s, for me it feels like the milestone achievements or turnin…

Unfortunately the configuration I need is not available through any of those retailers. The way I approach these purchases is amortized cost over time. I do not expect prices to be…

Was looking at upgrading my M1 Air (16/1TB) to an M5 Air (24/2TB). This price increase changes the time horizon of that upgrade from “now” to “let’s try and get 18-24 more months o…

Politicians pretend it’s much lower. Or claim that deflation is occurring through statements like “we are bringing prices down”.

Some people have a much better instinct for when and how to ask for permission than others, including when "asking for no" is the right move. It's a dance with nuance and it's hard…

I admit to not having yet taken a deep dive on Apple's privacy claims (i.e. on device, private cloud etc) but one thing that Apple is going to be providing in this case is an actua…

I have always had this notion that buying a Mac is the "premium" option, not just in quality, but maybe in price too. I am in the process of trying to find a business notebook for …

When Dropbox first came out I loved the simplicity of it for years. That rock solid little icon in my system tray that never bothered me, just reliably synced my files. It was exce…

>it's not going to get those same students a job What jobs? The job market is anemic AND these students are literally being told that jobs as we know them are soon to be a thing of…

I think that AI is less analogous to "traffic jams" and more analogous to "wheel-based transportation". It's an entire category, not a specific problem. The traffic jam is more ana…

> Seeing who is being laid off, especially on my team, it's the people who make things run. As a Cloudflare customer, that's reassuring! .. not.

It feels absurd to have seen E2EE fought for and considered table stakes by many users, especially the technically-oriented, now rolled back a short time later by these companies w…

> The biggest UX issue Apple has for that persona isn't the wallet, it's the lack of physical home button. I'm in my 40s and don't have much trouble with reaching Home by swiping u…

>Covid causes a loss of grey matter affecting impulse control and emotional regulation. It seems this statement is not fully supported by the data. While there have been mixed stud…

A limited total addressable market doesn't necessarily have anything to do with profit potential.

Well, my point is that these niches are probably more commonplace than people who live in areas blanketed by multiple 5G providers probably assume. I'm sure there are Starlink cust…

I might be biased because I live in an area where it is fairly easy to find locations that don't have cellular coverage and won't have cellular coverage anytime soon. Globally, the…

I find this hard to imagine. There are so many rural customers where it is totally uneconomical to run fiber vs. just paying for Starlink.
