This right here is the best answer in my opinion. Regardless of the story, the teller is just so into it that they can’t stop laughing. You’re probably going to end up laughing with them.

Except with Matter, all of those other standards are buying into the universal standard.

Maybe they meant rubles. I think I may find that value in my couch.

I hate that that’s the case.

I’ve been trying to lose weight, so I chopped off my leg just below the knee. I’m several pounds down, and I didn’t have to stop eating even a calorie. It’s amazing.

The only issue is that now I don’t have a leg and exercise may be difficult….

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.

Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.

If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.

People are pointing out the juxtaposition of many people losing their jobs while one person spends silly amounts of money on toys. It’s not that he spent it on toys, it’s that he made so much that he was able to waste it on frivolity while others around him suffered.

You subscribe to memos that tell you what to think is cringe?

Right. Throughout human history, if someone was cast out of a community, they didn’t survive. We’ve been trained through evolution to go along with the tribe because it’s unsafe to question anything and get cast out.

That’s great, but the fact it’s local and private means it can consume my personal data and be a more personal LLM. This just doesn’t hit that mark.

Apple Maps was bad, yes. But they had their hand forced. Google started charging for their API (enough to cripple their app), and they had very little time to create one of their own.

That’s not happening here. No one is forcing their hand. If they didn’t release an updated Siri this year, nothing would happen.

Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

Agreed. You could argue that Reddit is actually overcrowded.

It won’t happen like that. Leadership will just under-hire and expect all their developers to be way more efficient. Working will be really stressful with increased deadlines and people questioning why you couldn’t meet them.

So… you do something to earn money. And you refer friends to do it too. You earn a portion of your referral’s earnings. And so you need to keep recruiting and having your recruits recruit.

Bold of you to assume that the country that still uses the Imperial system is the one that better understands fractions.

This is what’s somewhat surprising. If they followed most of the rules, and went a bit off on a few, no one would be as upset and it might even work. Now, I have a feeling the EU is going to be VERY clear about the rules and they aren’t going to be in Apple’s favour at all.
