Apple lost its magic long time ago.

I recently tested a bunch including a lab-grade transmitter setup as control. My focus was on temperature in a lab refrigerator for home use and RuuviTag Pro was the best. You can also modify the firmware yourself which is a huge bonus. Pair with Shelly as a gateway and it’s quite useful.

So you’re OK with Grok but not Muse. What an odd conclusion to make.

What were his metrics?

I am so glad AI was not around to get in the hands of fascist and authoritarian regimes. No, wait…

A legend through early 2000s. The game changed starting 2013-14 and he never adjusted. Bailed or undervalued a bunch of tech names that could have yield 2-3x his actual return. Recent example is them bailing on TSM because of Chinese invasion fears.

TSMC? They did well investing in BYD though.

Please don't make us decode your acronym https://www.acronymfinder.com/ROW.html

I've been hesitant to talk about this too much, because it's such a bad joke, but personally I'm waging a War On Acronyms (WOA). They really don't save much time or effort, but make communication much more opaque. They can be a way of in-group signaling, which just makes it harder for newcomers / outsiders to come up to speed. And so many collisions.

RoW is not opaque. It’s widely used especially in academia. Acronyms exists for a good reason. If you like everything spelled out please stop using apostrophes while you’re at it.

I don't live in the USA. Never heard of it.

Very solipsistic take. Most people don't live in your bubble.

RoW = Rest of World?

If so, those constituencies are immune to facts and common sense.

Good guess. I'm usually pretty good with acronyms, but this one's got me stumped.

What would be cool is if you can put AI to identify individual birds. They all have different calls/voices, though largely indistinguishable to human ears. And you can name them and see when they come for a visit.

Something like fpcalc for soundbytes? Neat

>"I am in my 50s and don’t see myself staring at screens for too long, let alone coding."

I am 65 and still enjoy software development (not coding in particular) but decomposing business idea into software architecture and functionality. Decomposing is the part I really enjoy, the rest is a necessity but with AI that rest takes way less of my time than it used to.

I do not work for someone though. I develop products for clients or for my own business, was doing it all my life and was doing it from my own office for last 26 years. Not overworked either. Have enough time to enjoy life. Al in all very happy

It doesn't seem like a joke?

$1999 is ridiculous.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t know Samsung foldable was priced similarly. It’s a lot of money to pay for something inherently fragile.

While I won't pay it, it seems pretty comparable to other flagship foldable from Google and Samsung.

Doesn't make it less ridiculous, and that price for the other brands isn't less ridiculous either.

We'll have to see but it has a titanium frame with Ceramic shield front and back.

Obviously Apple knew where other foldable phones fell short; they clearly planned to overcome those shortcomings.

The retail price of the equivalent Samsung phone is $1900 (1899) - or $2100 for their 'Ultra' phone. Seems just in line to me.

I think there were rumors going even higher since Apple is so often a premium priced product.

Matching their top competitor in price is a good look.

They could’ve absolutely floored everyone if it had been $1500, but there’s no way that’s possible, at least having margins anywhere near what Apple likes.

My first thought is what happens when I drop a $1999 device and break it.
