The anti-screen crowd vastly overestimates people's competence with buttons. "You can hit them without taking your eyes off the road!" Please observe the typical driver as they attempt to change their climate control settings and report back.

I remember when the whole AI craze was just getting started we were all pretty much in agreement that, of course, we would not give the things unfettered access to the Internet. That would be reckless and silly. Oh dear...

For what it's worth, the Apple password implementation on Windows is actually pretty good. No love for Linux, though.

The activities you're proclaiming to be Apple's bread and butter in an effort to conflate them with Google and Meta are actually a rounding error. What is it about Apple that makes people have these crazy ideas?

Actually there's been studies that show the majority of heroin users self limit their use to, yes, no real harm. The idea of the heroin user that's immediately thrown into an addiction where they start pawning Grandma's TV is propaganda.

SpaceX has not been added to the S&P 500. They asked for the rules to be waived. S&P said no. I don't understand this article.

EU wants people to be able to plug any model into the new Siri system that will have unlimited access to all of your messages, photos, what's on your screen, browsing history, etc.

Apple says hey so we're going to need some time to figure out if we can do that in a way that won't completely fuck over our users.

Very different than the narrative you're pushing

The typical glass of wine you'd be served at a dinner party is actually two "standard" drinks. So... no. Not at all. Not even close.

That is a marginal improvement to a use case that, for most people, happens once or twice a year tops.

Probably useful for trucks, marginal utility for your typical EV owner. Articles like this seem to be speaking to people who don't own an EV and are still focused on the ICE car model of "plugging in" your car periodically at a public location. That isn't how EVs work for the vast majority of people.

That's circular logic on the gold/silver. You basically say gold/silver holds value because it holds value. Bitcoin and other crypto is really no more illogical than precious metals. Precious metals have a few relatively minor uses for industrial applications but really they're valuable because we've all agreed they're valuable, no different than Bitcoin.

The real question for me is how the hell did this company reach $200 billion in annual revenue? Nothing about our economy makes any sense to me.

Alleged expert hawking some kind of blog/newsletter thing doesn't know that no major company is ever going to fire an employee for an honest mistake, especially one that would have had multiple sign offs from around the organization.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The highway-only driver assistance on cars like Fords does not compare at all to what you get on a Tesla with the latest hardware.

I guess I don't understand... why would the SOC manufacturer spend the money on integrating this stuff if they don't intend on also spending the money to enable it on the software side?
