I see this as liability shifting exercise first, scalability tool second, and Elon's desire to deliver on his 2016 promise third. The scalability point is compound. We are talking charging, storage, and cleaning infra as well as regula

Worry not, Pelicans on bicycles had been ranking pretty high on your favorite search engine for a while. I struggle to imagine a world in which it was not already scraped and turned into training data by at least one provider: 1. Models nee

The author does not call it out, but I think the point is that it's not only the dock. I've been struggling with MBP wakeup issues for a while. We have a whole zoo of various apple devices attached to a number of docks. All of the

My understanding is that, if confirmed, this demonstrates that AI can find novel solutions. This is a strong counterpoint to generative-AI-is-strictly-limited-to-training-data.

It's almost like it is based on the training data and regimen that is largely the same between versions.

Servicing is not done by Apple, it's 3rd party contractors. They have a rubric of possible issues from Apple and their profit margins are thin. I suspect contacting Apple support about Apple support issues would have resulted in a swif

Sure, and there are a ton of ways to shifting income around. For example selling a subsidiary in lower tax jurisdiction patents and then paying for their usage. Another example is Hollywood accounting where productions pay exorbitant rates

It could be as simple as links. People drop links in the slack discussions, other people from Geolocated IP addresses (or same) click on them. Google analytics et. al. hovers a lot of data.
