Isn’t the whole point of a brand to be recognizable? If customers couldn’t make this association from the start, what value does this provide?

That's assuming that LLMs aren't approaching some asymptote that doesn't cross over to AGI.

I kept coming back to his course listing to find some that were on site, but they were all online. I wanted to take my current team to the same onsite experience I had with Dave over 15 years ago. Classes taught in person are so much better.

You’re posting on a website hosted in a data center. Lack of self awareness.

Exactly. The same way that selling alcohol doesn’t require a paper trail of every beer I’ve bought.

That’s a choice. This isn’t a story about someone poor who needs to work at McDonalds to make ends meet to feed their family. We are talking about the top earners in the world who made a decision to make more money than working at a competitor (Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc) where they would still be in the top 1% of earners.

ASI = Artificial Super Intelligence?

I read Freeze Frame Revolution and drew blank seeing that acronym.

It does now but didn’t always: https://austinmacworks.com/updated-passwords-app-adds-histor...

I should also add this is only if you have iOS 26 or newer.

I’ve had the iOS password app think that it changed my password, when it did not, and then lose my old password.

Yes, it doesn’t have enough ROI potential with the given regulation.

That’s really neat. I wonder if that model that shipped recently with Chrome is also accessible similarly?

Funny, OP wants them to force a feature via regulation, and regulation is the reason they won’t even deliver the feature in question. Death by regulation.

Because this group likes to go against the status quo. The status quo currently is to AI-ify everything. Some of us think there is a hype-reality-distortion-field-bubble occurring which goes contrary to conventional knowledge. It’s good to have healthy critical opinions instead of group think.

I guess it depends on whether you want to write application code with the Temporal SDK or use this new SQL soup. I’d rather stay out of messy SQL land for something like this if I can avoid it, but I can see the value if you already have Postgres and don’t want to introduce another component.

There’s something lopsided about education for boys. The system appears to favor girls heavily. There’s projections that college student populations will have shrinking male population. I think this is a systemic issue with school being built to favor a certain philosophy that isn’t well thought out for 50% of the population.

That only is true if you agree with IP laws. China doesn’t, and you won’t be able to take 50% of the Chinese AI companies. American AI companies won’t be able to compete against Chinese ones if we take that stance.

If the public wants to own half of the AI company, then they should invest enough to buy half of it. Taking private property away without compensation is stealing. What the government did with Intel where they got 10% in stock was a bit better because Intel got money.

You can keep plugging holes, but each time you plug you are using a narrower specification of who is at fault or who is exempt. That creates loopholes. This is known as “Whack-a-mole regulation”.
