They were *late* to make a phone, and look how it turned out.
They were *late* to make a tablet and look how it turned out.
Siri is still more Knowledge Navigator than HAL.
Personally, Iâ(TM)d so far rather be handed a known reference by Siri than the synthetic stuff that pops out at the top of Google these days.
It may turn out to take an Apple amount of time to get everyday AI right. The current headline players still seem to be shaking everything out. Expert systems and machine learning is helping greatly. The rest seems not exactly ready for prime time or for a typical user to depend on.

Thatâ(TM)s great. But in case youâ(TM)re not joking, Less than 1,000 people have ever gone into space and all of them simply come back when theyâ(TM)re done in months. We have forgotten how to land things on the moon, and in fact when we were good at it, we only managed to land two people six times for three days or less. Mars? Only one person wants to live there. Fine. Let him. Moving to currently uninhabited places on earth means recreating nearly all of the infrastructure of all the existing cities. Good luck with that. In the US it took 250 years to create the current infrastructure. Generously 100 years for the current generation. How about maybe we just cut back on some things? Never mind that the people who are A-Ok with the cause of the pollution have a conniption every time they see the bill for a federal space flight.

Bill required that Apple bundle it with every Mac. The beauty of it was the language. Stacks were made of cards that were made of fields, objects, each of which had a dozen attributes that could be set and all of it could be directed with a simple and straightforward language. Easy, permissive and forgiving structure, still pretty powerful results. We had an external research site for Apple ATG, testing actual use of Apple IIGS vs Mac SE. Along the way, they ported Hypercard to the GS. It was a four hour port. I still have an archive of teacher and student coding projects done in Hypercard. The results of your code were tangible, graphical, and didnâ(TM)t blow up when there were errors. At the time the other k-12 coding options were BASIC, LOGO, Pascal⦠Hypercard was IMHO better for jumpstarting teaching coding than any of those.

But starship after nine missions has yet to complete a single orbit of the Earth. They then have to perfect unmanned on orbit fuel, transfers, etc., etc. Musk seems to be good at taking existing established technologies, branding them and scaling them up, not so much on the new things. Which really points to sending robots instead of humans. If he wants a vanity project, let him fund it himself.

The recipe for gnocchi puttanesca in a bag has an AI illustration of a meal cooked in a burlap drawstring bag. The bag in the actual Jamie Oliver recipe is a typical pouch made of foil.

Why just as a speaker was wrapping up their first main point the other day on YT, I get an ad for widgets? Worse than the traditional cliffhanger broadcast commercial breaks. We have ceded control of the remote to three-year-olds.

you know, with a UI consistent with the operating system youâ(TM)re already in, no constant twiddling on the backend without seeing an obvious update, things like that. Now, you kids get off my lawn.

I have a complete set of Inside Macintosh still lying around somewhere.

Point is, even if these things happen naturally, it is still not great to do them deliberately (prescribed burns excluded).

I think their sentiment is more along the lines of donâ(TM)t worry about the arsonists because there are natural forest fires. Yes there are waves, yes, there are storms, but can we please stop steering towards the rocks? Pick your analogy.

â¦on the failure rates of storage devices and switches, how many multiples of everything you would need to have enough redundancy to make this thing last long enough to make money on itâ¦. Ok, but your SaaS and cloud storage is 15x the cost of your competitors. Yes, but did you consider that yours will be SPACE DATA?

"The area that Google did well in that would not have happened had I not been distracted is Android, where it was a natural thing for me. I was trying, although what I didn't do well enough is provide the operating system for the phone. That was ours for the taking."

The antitrust case was overturned by the Appellate Court in 2001. The DOJ and Microsoft settled the outstanding portions in November 2001.

Android Inc. was started in 2003, and was four guys using pre-existing Open Source components to build an OS for mobile phones. Google bought them in 2005, and the first handset using Android was released in 2008.

Bill, you had seven years and the entire backing of a massive corporation (including all of its employees and intellectual property) after the antitrust case was settled, and couldn’t pull off what four guys started and Google finished in five using Open Source components.

And as we saw that went swimmingly so no worries.
I would only be worried if one were publicly asking after election day if anyone knows of an LLM that can automate multiple doc format extractions and conversions.
So weâ(TM)re good I guess.
BTW the NOTAM backup instance kicked in the other day as it should have.
Would love to hear what theyâ(TM)ll change.

Which means 20 hrs of web surfing. Got it.

⦠rich people building a mixed-use oasis in space. Guessing none of them saw WALL-E.
