Also cats - I saw experiments where they gave the “my cat is mostly sleeping and sometimes wandering around the garden” cats gps tracker, and found out they routinely wander 8 km a…

Or western movies don’t have stories Chinese audience would relate to, but for dumb visual effect fests, there is no story so it works everywhere.

And yet they can all be comfortably watched at a single place, with high quality and no ads.

At this point China probably has a botnet that can be turned on with a few deploys, and spans a majority of homes in US and RU (and thus is unblockable without disconnecting half o…

Not at all. 2.5 year old Apple Watch, glue gave up after warm pool in aquapark (40 deg Celsius), water got in, dead.

On metrics this either shows as “codex security makes people use us more” or “people are buying extra plans, yay!” Promotions all around.

Having known nothing about organoids, this was a fascinating read. I can just imagine how challenging would be our work if computers worked like body.

“This is the highest-leverage primitive, and it is the one most people skip. The reason is uncomfortable:” AI slop.

That’s a great list of targets to kill. Things like Vitamix should get undercut by 300 % with same or better quality.

Hue also peaks at 20 W sources which leave even small room in the dark (for comparison, I have 70 W of LED lighting in the kitchen central light).

My guess is that action cameras are 20 % need (professionals, documentary crews etc) and 80 % fashion (people buying them and them using them for a few shots twice a year on the ho…

Simon Wardley has been shouting this from the rooftops, including detailed per industry timelines when China will take over, in 2015.

We build a software that enhances overall productivity and automating things, all of this enables us to extract natural resources faster and cheaper, thus putting out more CO2 into…

Afaik these are all single target apps. I was talking about extensions, watchos companion apps ...

China also supports and helps maintain North Korea, and has ties with Iran.

Sounds like something DARPA would be working on right now.
