Tailscale uses MagicDNS which allows one to auto-generate a semi-memorable private hostname as well. I'm in the networking industry so I'm not seeing anything truly groundbreaking or that isn't offered elsewhere.
I think computer/smartphone usage has been changing that latent space for quite some time. People have been talking about "character amnesia" since 2010.
My steamdeck broke about 15 years of strict PC Gaming habits for me. Games like Balatro and Megabonk have broken my previous definition of "fun" in a fantastic way.
It's not too dissimilar from the Figure demo that was done on X/Twitter recently. Everyone was pointing out what a lackluster demo that was and here I was thinking the total opposite, it worked for 8 hours with no sexual harassment training, KPIs, management oversight, breaks or co-worker chatting. That's the worst job it'll likely ever do. We just witnessed the floor of it's capabilities.
My hope/vision with robotic cars is we make cities more human-friendly/accessible. I want revitalized/bustling downtowns of bikes/bodies and not, what some cities are, which are glorified parking lots. I want to be less alone as an american. I would a physical sense of community injected back into my veins.
I'm not a Netflix staff member but I work in the networking realm and can answer some of these questions (also gives me the chance to say something wrong where someone with the real answer can step in :)
1. Netflix does use AWS but it's far more economical for them to embed content caches/servers within ISP networks so that it relies solely on the ISPs network. All major CDN-like providers (Apple with their Edge Cache, Google with their GCC) offer embedded caches which tend to make a lot of sense at sufficient ISP scale (# of users). It's a misconception or just journalistic misunderstanding that everything Netflix runs is from AWS. Content delivery is the large majority of Netflix's outbound traffic. It also removes the reliance of Netflix to run in inordinately large backbone to serve content.
I will posit something that guides my own thinking about this; robotaxis will never drink and drive. I'll take whatever flavor of mistake they conjure over that. I can deal with stupidity, I cannot (and don't want to) deal with malice.
I don't think the majority of people have given it a passing thought to be fair. For folks that grew up with the advent of being the "designated family googler" (and rested the success of their careers on such), it is an incredible time for information.
You're telling me there is a faceless, non-judgemental, never exhausted tutor just sitting there waiting for my curiosity to strike up a conversation? How absolutely fantastic. We're spoiled with information.
They just released their enterprise agentic platform today so my expectation is that might be the gravity well for the Fortune 500's to park their inference on.
Does your physical environment change that much that it requires cognitive load for you to decide on what cables to use? For myself, I bought two wireless charge "base" stations that handle my spouse's and my phone/watch/airpods. That's it. One place, bedside, where I need to put things.
Sure, for new equipment or in a pinch (that becomes cumbersome) but even traveling, you know what equipment you have, charge rate and things needing to get charged from what connector type. So you purchase the variants that you need.
It honestly feels like a segue to just talking to the agents that won't really have much of a long time horizon. People who either prefer or are professionally required to maintain control over software aren't going to be working from a 5-inch screen while people who use the iPhone as a dev environment just want a simpler interaction with their agentic fleet for creation.
I have not tried it but prior to them releasing that feature, I used an iOS terminal with SSH mosh capabilities + Tailscale + Tmux session mounted to see what the output of my home machine's Claude conversation was doing.
The signals are there but the usefulness/blast radius is being limited to "I'm not a software developer but I have this specific issue I need to write software to solve. I've done that and here is a Linkedin post explaining what it is and how I did it."
I think we're looking at the wrong demographic/professional sector and throwing up our hands. You have to look at people who don't have as much professional experience with it because everyone you didn't write software in the 2010's is writing it now.
I mean the answer to underground facilities is you just keep bombing the entrance which is exactly what they've done. Iran still has insane supply levels of ballistic missiles so the US/Israel are eradicating their tele-launcher fleet.
Comcast has a very strict peering policy as well. They, like Deutsche Telekom, like to hold their proverbial customers hostage to make other networks pay to peer.
