In the US, Meta sold 7 million glasses units last year and is projected to sell 25+ million next year. Waymos already record everything happening in most of the area of many cities…

I do not carry a cellphone, but I own an old one with no data plan that remains off and in a drawer except for when used for things like this. I am not sure I have run into any sto…

That is very interesting. I wasn’t aware of their ability to act as acoustic sensors. It makes sense, but it’s not my field so I hadn’t thought about it. Any link to the trachea vi…

We agree on when to meet and where, and then we both actually show up. The whole last-minute plan changing thing is a pretty recent phenomenon, I believe.

For sure, but you still do retain the option to leave it at work, unless you have some kind of 24/7 sales job. I do think privacy at work is not an option for most people.

Genuinely. Thinking back on it now, the only times I notice it is in some restaurants that don’t have paper menus out by default. I need to ask for one, which feels very odd and ki…

I do not carry a cellphone. I am employed and live in a major city. I never think about not having one. I know multiple other people, also employed, living both rurally and in citi…

Thank you, this deserved a link. I was being lazy.

Obama was promoting The Age of Surveillance Capitalism over seven years ago now. Industry insiders have known all this since 1999. Yet almost every single person I know carries a c…

I also find couches quite decadent, when a similar effect can be gained by piling old rags in the corner.

You are completely correct. As much as many people don´t want to hear it, Mexico is a failing state. It´s extremely obvious when you are there that the United Mexican States lost m…

Diffusion language models do this. I’d guess they are the future.

Thanks for sharing the quote, it's really great. I believe he is correct, but I am not sure I yet agree with your assertion that we know that LLMs are more like alarm clocks than b…

If there is no international police, there is no international law.

Madness. This is what the death of liberalism looks like. edit: Thinking about this shakes me. If this statistic is accurate, that the majority of Americans think we should be nati…

Everyone I know who has immigrated to America talks some version of this.

The lines that have these issues will be dwarfed by the hundreds that don't. It's scattershot for sure, but if it gets to the point where the rate of inbreeding is statistically si…

From an evolutionary fitness perspective, it makes sense as a kind of loophole for easily reproducing and distributing your genetic material in a way likely to lead to many success…

Small-scale, artisan production of goods/services that you personally hand to your local customer and that have strong, local, cultural value. If you're serious about future-proofi…

He was 100% correct and continues to be so.

If they die within 30 minutes, you would never see the scat of those who crack the seeds.

Intuitively, and based on my studies of economics, I believe that we will create new jobs or jobs will transform in some way as AI rolls out. That is, mathematicians would take on …

Yes, you’re right. I was just quickly lumping any contractor whose job is to run tests from a test case sheet under the QA umbrella. I guess a more likely title is Product Market A…
