One example is the introduction of MIMO, a technique to send multiple data streams in the same frequency band in parallel. This requires multiple antennas, i.e. hardware which wasn't there in the previous wifi version. Note this was 2009.

> I’ve sat through some pitches like that, where it is very obvious that the founder/CEO has limited knowledge and expertise in what they’re pitching, where the product is limited, but their enthusiasm is off the charts.

And for all the talk of investing into people, what was your opinion?

I agree this blog is highlighting the irony in that. But I think you are overreaching and injecting your agenda when claiming that it says that "many folks asking for things to be “more inclusive” are asking for someone else to modify their behavior".

> Why do you think social media is bad but somehow regular websites aren't horrible?

But this is the level 2 argument to enforce identity verification everywhere. You are reaching ahead.

This might produce unpleasant clusters of the same color ("clustering illusion"), if the values are really randomly distributed.

IANAL but UI is not protectable in the EU. I remember this was relevant when people copied MS offices ribbon ui for Delphi components.

Create placeholder pages and backfill any extended LLM generated stuff. Either after first request of a page or simply queued.

What was the main driver for a dynamic workflow with loops vs a rigid forward running only workflow. The non-deterministic nature of these loops with LLM decision points doesn't mesh well with the transparency requirement imho

> [IMAGE: the same Point[] array in two variants: “before” (an array of arrows → scattered boxes with headers) and “after” (a uniform strip of number pairs)]

The `Point[]` in the image tag of your LLM output crashed your image generation post processing.

> popping out the disk and reading it from another system

The vast majority of people don't know that this is an option or how to do it.

> I just wanted to reassure you that the name sounds scary but the current treatment appears to work well

Even a charitable read is condescending. This person just wrote they are in the innermost research circles. I think they are beyond the "scary name" - needs reassurance phase.

I don't use social media (aside from HN). I take selfies to remember a moment. Not to capture it, my memory is good enough for me for that.

I think my old self will want my younger self to have had done lots of things I don't want to do now.

Future me can suck it. I'll be selfish in the moment.

This is like watching videos of old folks saying: "I wish I took better care of my teeth". Right, cause thats what matters a lot to you now.

The lesson to be learned is that what you want from life changes. You shouldn't prioritize the needs of a future version of you.

Is this some legal thing so they can claim that a protection was circumvented? E.g. to void warranty or be able to sue?

Exactly, so that's the person required in the dev loop. You directed it, a person.

Imagine the factor overlooked is the nasty but nutritional hospital food they got when receiving the transplant (assuming they got hospitalized).
