I'm not insinuating. I'm asking. It's a pretty reasonable question for both of them. Perhaps more for the CFO, given what we know of Altman's, er, lack of candour with the board wh…

When the iPad came out, people actually mostly said it was just a big iPhone. It is, in fact, pretty much still just a big iPhone. It turns out that's enough for a lot of people.

It's odd how unexcited Apple people often sound when they say they couldn't be more excited .

> Palm CEO on the iPhone This quote pre-dates the iPhone by a couple of months. So it doesn't remotely qualify as a "failed product" comment. It's just a bad prediction. (And it's …

Honest question: Do they not each worry they are each, in their own way, going to be Linda Yaccarino?

The lesson I learned from the dot-com era is that people who are dependent on the hype to make profit will crane their necks to believe the hype. Salespeople, executives, engineers…

Right. I mean... I sometimes think that Webpack is a malign, inscrutable intelligence! :-) But at least it's supposed to be deterministic. And there's a chance someone else will be…

But not the now, quite obviously. Colour me cynical but I don't feel like pretending the future is here only to have to have to fix its blind incompetence.

Indeed, and presumably well before 1965, which is when Greater London was created. Most of the non-disambiguated High Streets will be in the Greater London boroughs (Bromley, Bexle…

Free idea: a website called But Humans Also, where one collects bad justifications for applying LLMs. the dot-com is available!

The "zen" of LLMs is that they do not see a real distinction between these two things, or either of these two things and success ;-)

I dunno. I tend to annoy people when taking on jobs by telling people what I am concerned about and do not understand, and then sharing with them the extent to which I have managed…

> You could say the same about the output of a compiler. Except, for starters, that you're not using the LLM to replace a compiler. You're using it to replace a teammate.

> I don't think this is indicative of people who don't know what they're doing. I think this is indicative of people using "AI" tools to help with programming at all. I think using…

One day... building a 4x5 is next.

I shoot digital, and only black and white film, these days. (I need to build a darkroom so I can print again) But the thing that really hooked me deep into photography was 6x6 tran…

I am pretty certain I am a Weird Nerd. I have good reasons to consider myself neurodivergent (and others do consider me such). There are definite divergences that have caused me pr…

TBH I cannot, which is why I talked of doubt in the quantity comparison, and it’s a fair point to pull me up on. My broader point was that people associate film with chemicals ofte…

Digital cameras use more (and much worse) toxic chemicals. It’s just that you don’t get involved with them personally. I doubt most digital camera owners ever shoot enough to get t…

Well, it will never achieve the economy of scale it had. So it will always be more expensive. But the same is true for art inks, I imagine.

I don’t think I can answer because again I think I would not put myself in that position. I am going to retreat from this argument because this entire topic has me questioning my p…

It’s more perfect than digital. Consider this about the original slide: it was physically there with the photographer when the photograph was taken. It is stained with the chemical…

Unless I am mistaken in my reading of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act#Legislativ... suggests it went through the parliament in a now pretty normal way. They…
