I bet the people you approached about finanching thought you were full of hot air.

Phones are becoming less and less interesting by the day.

Once they get to the point were all of the options that don’t require incredibly inconvenient sacrifices in functionality to maintain the interesting stuff like a video game console then that will kill interest in the market for me.

If I can’t do anything besides basic smart phone crap I might as well just buy whatever has a good camera once every half decade or so and be done with it. So whatever top end thing Samsung or Apple are putting out.

I’m not sure Google has fully thought through what it means to just be a worse version of what Apple puts out, but with more ads.

Trump has historically been for or against whatever he thinks will be the best for him.

Mine stays on 24/7/365 unless I am going to be out of town.

Scientists have figured out a ton of things in a lab setting. But most of that is not something that scales up to the real world.

This kind of discovery is really cool to hear about.

But the impatient part of my brain really hates to read stuff like “hoping to start human trials within five years”. Gotta be careful and do it right and all that. But my monkey brain wants that Star Trek medicine now where I go in with literally anything and almost all of it is curable and a lot of it with only some sort of non-evasive tool while I am young enough to benefit from it.

All of these types are articles always leave out the calculations of what your time is worth to you and the maintenance costs of spare hard drives and other equipment. The TCO is not just the initial investment in hardware/software alone. Unless you plan to host something unreliably and value your time at nothing. In which case I hope you don’t get friends or family hooked on your stuff or everyone will have a bad time and be back to Google Drive/Docs and Netflix within 5 years.

The reason they leave it out I feel is because once you factor all of that stuff in the $10/month your paying for Google Drive storage or the ~$25 your paying Netflix starts to make a lot more sense when pared with a decent local backup from a Synology NAS for the “I can’t lose this” stuff like baby pictures of your kids. Which blows their entire premise out of the water.

They can try, but it is unlikley to work for long. So my general reaction is:

Everyone that was paying attention to the Microsoft Windows support lifecycle web page back then knew that statement was horse shit.

It is likely because Israel vs. Palestine is a much much more hot button issue than Russia vs. Ukraine.

Some people will assault you for having the wrong opinion in the wrong place about the former, and that is press Google does not want to be able to be associated with their LLM in anyway.

I’m surprised there was no further validation or approval for that kind of money beyond “find the right person and socially engineer them.”

And here I thought I had a lot of hdd platter coaster’s.

This sort of thing is what keeps me away from Samsung phones.

Couldn’t we just skip the middle man so to speak and feed some billionaires to a few polar bears out right?

All I can think to say is “no shit”. The unrestrained lust for as much money as possible does not mix with the long term good of healthcare.

I bet writing that title will be a defining moment in their career when they look back on it in retirement.

Hey, mine loves to talk up her blue ball cure.

Something being “possible“ doesn’t mean it is likely or a certainty.

To me, things like ChatGPT are just more efficient ways to search sites they scrap data from like Stack Overflow. If they ever drive enough traffic away from their sources to kill the sources the likes of ChatGPT will become mostly useless.

Probably because there is not an easy toggle to migrate a user account to a new home instance. I know there are tools for it. But it won’t matter if there is not a button on a sign up page that says “migrate from another instance” that does it for you programmaticly.
