where the sun don't shine.

The Linux Foundation has always been kind of useless, but they're really outdoing themselves this time.

More like old vs new terribleness.

The "America first" asshole decided that the USA can't build more big solar power installations and there's no other way to build power for datacenters fast enough. Then he decided to scare Indian students away from the USA. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft's Indian CEO decided to expand Microsoft's presence in India. America's chickens are coming home to roost.

Which bubble will pop first, Pokemon cards, Labubus, or AI unicorn valuations?

I have a combination of prescriptions that mean that I can't use contact lenses. I see quite a lot of people wearing glasses, and Zenni, Warby Parker, and the other online companies have said they sell a decent number of frames with plano lenses (meaning no prescription), presumably for people who want the look.

Eventually, you won't be able to tell. Someone will come in wearing glasses, and the tech is going to be too small and streamlined. There are also companies working on embedding augmented reality capabilities in contact lenses fed by tiny cameras placed just out of the field of vision. You'd be able to see them only in very specific circumstances. Power feed is a primary challenge right now, but it's probably not an unsolvable problem.

Just looking at the technical side, the cost to the end-user of streaming that much data would be exorbitant. Compressed video or even once-per-second snapshots would eat up all the mobile data, and the battery life would be measured in single digit hours.

No one else is going to risk making a part that one of the big defense contractors has under copyright with an exclusivity lock even if the US government says they can. The smaller ones just can't afford the effects of a lawsuit or the risk of treble damages if they do. That's why forcing a right to repair into the contracts is so important.

Never going to happen. The junk mail lobby has too much influence in Congress, and Congress gets free use of the postal service for "constituent communications" (aka electioneering).

How do you know that?

Being from Google, I rather assume the opposite - and that they probably focused their engineering effort to make sure the reduced battery life didn't give their corporate surveillance activities away.

Huawei is doing original things. Z-fold phones with an OS that does everything a desktop can do and has AI integration that (Chinese sources say) is actually useful. Unfortunately we can't get them in the USA because the federal government has to protect Apple's inability to innovate. Of course Samsung is nipping at Huawei's heels, but if you use a Samsung phone you'll start seeing targeted ads on your smart refrigerator.

Apple signs contracts to buy huge quantities of hardware over years. This probably won't affect them any time soon. All the Android phones are going to be more expensive than iPhones in a year and Apple's stock price is going to exceed $5 trillion.

- "I use all your queries to increase OpenAI's revenue regardless of how unethical."
- "My replies are designed to keep you engaged rather than be accurate."
- "I'm not really your friend, don't trust my tone."

Only someone with a death with would drive a kei car in the USA. It would be vaporized by an F-250. And they accelerate so slowly that getting killed in a road rage incident would be a serious concern.

Where do the AI companies plan to get their data after they put all the news outlets and publishers of nonfiction out of business? Will there just be nothing written after 2030 in their results? Or will the AIs just hallucinate everything?
