Next step: Let's Tor?

> Their strategy is not to sell you a device that YOU can use for AI, they sell you a device that THEY can use for AI.

How will that work out with the battery?

I mean, they could have mined crypto on our phones but that would have been a bad idea for the same reason.


Like they say: "In a goldrush, sell vendor locked shovels."

I would say that's what Nvidia is doing.

I'm not sure how Apple is enabling anything interesting around AI right now.

That's what this bland article is not even touching on. Yes, having missed the boat is great if the boat ends up sinking. That doesn't make missing boats a great strategy.

Building huge models and huge data centers is not the only thing they could have done.

They had some interesting early ideas on letting AI tap app functionality client-side. But that has gone nowhere, and now everything of relevance is happening on servers.

Apple's devices are not even remotely the best dumb terminals to tap into that. Even that crown goes to Android.


May I remind that iPhone can’t remove the crowds from tourism photos, so all Android users have memories without crowds. So, in a goldrush, sell dirt.

There's a thing I didn't know I was missing.

Although I am an Android user, I am not enough of a narcissist to need to remove the crowds from my tourism photos. So, not all Android users have photos without crowds.

Yeah I mean... I take a lot of joy in the random yet specific faces in those places I visited long ago. It's an important part of the memory for me.

Having a clear background used to be difficult/expensive, so a photo where you appear to have exclusive access to the area is a high social signal.

Now that it’s cheap and easy, those kind of photos will lose its signal.

Everyday Syndrome is proven right.


Can't we have a unicode escape sequence for anything generated by AI?

Then we can just filter it at the browser level.

In fact why don't we have glyphs for it? Like special quote characters.


"I asked AI and it said basically the same as you."

Still no flying cars?

and no high speed rail either

Works for me, on Linux.

Works for me Firefox on Android mobile

Missed opportunity to use the wheels for the suitcase also.

(By the way, I'm looking for a suitcase with air pressure wheels)


It looks like the wheels could stay attached to the outside of the suitcase. It means leaving it in the less standard configuration to pull around (landscape rather than portrait) but that can be overcome with a longer handle.

Yeah, if the suitcase weighs 32 kg, you'd definitely want to have some wheels on it!

Or (keeping with the technology available at the time) just go with a foldable bicycle - not as fast, but much lighter and more practical!


Out of curiosity, why do you want pneumatic wheels on your suitcase?

Sound, mostly. But also helps with vibrations if I'm carrying sensitive equipment.

One idea: Buy one of these (https://www.harborfreight.com/150-lb-capacity-foldable-hand-...) and turn it into this (https://images.turnto.com/media/t7kuhATX6jW2ChSsite/5A481415...). If you want to keep it foldable, instead of an axle going all the way through, use either a long bolt or threaded rod, with nuts and lock washers, to attach a smaller pneumatic wheel to each side (threaded rod goes through plastic enclosure, nuts/lock washers keep it locked on either side of plastic housing, wheel fixed on outside with bushings or cotter pin)

Or you could strap your bag to a kayak cart (https://www.amazon.com/Kayak-Cart-Capacity-Foldable-Watercra...)


You can also just use your iPhone's torch and install the heating app. Drains your battery quickly though.

I don't own any iPhone.

I want consumer digital tape drives to make a comeback, for my backup needs.

The enterprise models are way too expensive.
