In Sweden I saw Swish app QR codes everywhere. In every store, cafe, museums and even for donations (e.g. volunteers maintaining trails, independent museums, etc). I had no issue paying with a card everywhere, but it was interesting to see

I saw ~20 year old presentation where Craig Federighi presented (for first time??) - dude was shaking like leaf and could hardly do the demo. It turned out fine and now he’s one of more charming presenters.

Ok, though still obscure. I don’t want to looking where to order it when it’s lost or broken.

It's so sad that X4 Pro does not have USB-C. They have added backlight, but still left charging/connecting to proprietary magnetic adapter.

Eh, I would be more empathic in this situation[0]. Github isn’t small startup, where other 10x threshold is as cheap as buy bigger box in your IaaS. When you are already biggest player in the ecosystem and you suddenly get 10x persisted tra

With social media you can spend small amounts of money , create media and target people half across the globe from you. ruzzian troll farm employee cannot call into fox news and say “create 100 John Does impersonating MAGA texans (or whatev

I just want to add, that they (FB and other big social media) probably understood what propaganda power they wield after 2016 facebook and cambridge analytica scandal. Personally - I think that this was the moment when silicon valley billio

Why not Mitchel himself? Without anyone else. Seeding superlogical wouldn’t make a dent to his “10 digit bank account”. Probably not much more expensive than airplane hobby.

Though what I genuinely don't understand is, why then Mitchel needs funding? If he needs funding - why accept it from weird contraversial figures? He has the freedom of choice, like no other.

Look at this article and it's graphs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passengers_per_hour_per_direct... Cars are the very bottom, by very considerable margin. You need to prove otherwise.

Fair and I concur. Though still, I wonder, what gains could be from such model (car sharing instead of cars or public transit)? As far as I understand this model must support (with some room) demand at peak. So how many times less cars woul

Capex for car infrastructure seemingly is uncapped (and I don’t talk only about USA either). But when it’s non-car transit suddenly it’s too much money, not profitable, nimby, etc. When cars enjoy fuel subsidies , (mostly) free roads and en

But I don't get the Waymo "solution" in this thread. Genuinely and not trolling. Where I live we have non-autonomous car-sharing (that I barely use). Patterns are always the same in the morning all cars go from suburbs/&

I hope it's sarcasm? How about if autonomous cars would be bigger, so from same apartment block people could ride-share to same office downtown? What if those cars would be on rails - imagine how simpler the autonomous part would be? L

I concur, that this could be a possiblity and it definitely seems now. Though my bet would be, if USA will go ultra protectionist in this regard - in 10-20 years most world will run Chinese LLMs and hardware for this purpose.

Don't be obtuse. I own a physical book, I don't own the IP of it. As long as I own the book - I can freely read it's contents 100 years from now. If I own[1] DRM protected ebook on a Kindle. Tomorrow I may not have that book

Maybe, but: - I don’t use most social media and even if I did I don’t follow (and definitely do not want to) hierarchies of various corporations; - Twitter is hostile platform (thanks xcancel); - Who the hell is Tibo? And to be brief I don’

I “like” how a lot of news and updates for ChatGPT and Claude are twitter posts, most often without corresponding statement in their websites. I was trying to figure out status with Fable couple weeks ago, checked their news and blog pages
