I don't think "jailbreak and install your own software on your TV" would be common even without the DMCA...and it would still be necessary, nothing would be stopping the companies from writing these stock software…
In the "volatile and unstable" scenario that you're replying to, the $BILLIONS from cashing out while it's a hot market is a more sure way to have long-term influence on things.
The game featured a store and stuff in it, that's a product category IKEA markets. If the name of an unrelated game was IKEA as some clever acronym or such and it was unrelated to stores, that would be a different…
Hah, I was aware of 5G vs 5G mm-wave, didn't realize there was another way in which most 5G was "kinda fake" too.
How is paying $20 instead of $50-60 ripping themselves off? Have you considered that the extra 985GB might be useless to them?
Net neutrality as generally understood says nothing about being able to pay more for a higher service tier from your ISP. It's entirely on the publisher side: net neutrality was an attempt to avoid ISPs getting paid…
ISP's spent $$$$$ against net-neutrality cause they wanted to get paid twice (Google already was paying for their side of the bandwidth as the source). When you add the second line---pretending that that nobody funding…
Do you find Fable significantly better than Opus at avoiding-overengineering? All of my recent testing of Anthropic models seems like they're tuned-to-hell to (a) be much slower than they need to be (running tests over…
This has not been the case at any of my past employers in B2C... There was a fair amount of scrambling to get GDPR/CCPA compliant, but even that was done largely with a prevailing "ah, this is a defensible thing to…
That's a recipe for regressions as the amount of surface you have to cover with "just...use the app" gets bigger and bigger. You can write more automation to test it. But that's also how you end up with ever-growing…
Yeah, it's smaller in a different way than the mini was small. But the thinness isn't actually the appeal. The key thing is that it's a lot lighter. (And yes, a case adds weight as well as thickness. But if you start…
We've seen that some---gpt5 was considered pretty lackluster intially, in particular. Opus 4.7 and 5 vs 4.6 were also greeted with a lot more "meh" than 4.6 or Fable.

Not a huge fan of the movie (largely because I think the story is rather meh and played out, sometimes classics can stay in the academy and are no longer fresh enough to merit a big budget retelling), but it had one…
"Try a different smaller form factor every couple of years" is a reasonable strategy. First Mini, then Air. Supposedly they're gonna refresh the Air next year, we'll see. But even if they don't: we're well into the…

If you're a doomer, wouldn't the "let's try to get there so fast" actions of the companies suggest that, in fact, there are no reasonable people in positions of influence there? By your own description neither Altman or…

Well, I mean, no. It could mean that regular Windows has things that could be distracting for developer workflows but might have other legitimate purposes. Like when a Porsche 911 trim strips out the AC and stereo to…
For a group who's so bloody-minded about "words have meanings" about certain things, this whole "movement and affiliation and organization are all obviously exactly the same thing" claim is blatantly ridiculous. When…
Heh, the version of this I heard from a Porsche tech was that the reason Porsche's supported Carplay (added in 2017 models) but NOT Android Auto for so long (added in 2022 models) was because Apple wasn't snoopy and…

When I've tried it using API-rate billing I've saved on $$ on the tasks where I split planning+execution into Sol+Terra or Terra+Luna even. I wasn't paying attention to the token count, I was paying attention to the…
