âoeThey could be striped matter and purple dwarves, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car.âoe
Seems they were late to mp3 players, late to phones, seems they were nowhere to be found with tablets, I sense a pattern here.
Go, stop, steer, lights, horn, windows, doors, hvac, safe. You know, things we perfected 70 years ago, and make them survive a 5 year bet (aka warrantee)? Iâ(TM)ll even spot you âoestyleâ.
â¦where you have to have an MS account to inaugurate Win11. Yes, I know thereâ(TM)s a workaround. The more I know MS, the more I love my Mac and RPi (sung off-key to the tune of âoeThe more I know my car, the more I love my bicycle.â).
They are an ad company that creates screens that appear as end-user tools to gather data and generate ad impressions. When Redmondâ(TM)s productivity tools look comfortable and engaging in contrast, Googleâ(TM)s role is much clearer. Like many service industries, the first gen fails, and some subsequent gen succeeds with a different, more profitable core. Insurance companies are reborn as investment engines, retail banks are mostly real estate companies, etc. First gen search is a ghost, replaced by ad services. The ratio of sponsored to âoerealâ search results has tipped sharply in the past year, and searches about person X or event Y return news stories and social media impressions more than canonical knowledge.
This, and Googâ(TM)s AI efforts support the notion that these tools are not automagically going to create *new* knowledge, but as they are trained on existing information, just better at regurgitating knowns. Thatâ(TM)s what search engines do.
Smart, grounded, great sense of humor. The right person in the right place at the right time.
So many questionsâ¦
Enforcement of the âoedonâ(TM)t be badâ agreement? Anyone willing to go north of 0.001% effectiveness on this?
Would make a dandy plan to generate lotsa work for lawyers.
Whatâ(TM)s to anyone from scraping lotsa sample images and using the open source process to do the same thing? Sure, they wonâ(TM)t be high def, but prob good enough for effective mobile web resolution.
They brought in a âoemaker in residenceâ who used rpi hardware to make surveillance devices. Not sure this will translate into shipping products.
⦠except itâ(TM)s mission critical code instead of commas and jeans. Legalities will be dealt with, but⦠There's still carbon-based testing and QC down the line, right? RIGHT?
300,000 houses for 2 hours is 600,000 house*hours.
Or 2 houses for 300,000 hours. Glib but useless.
Or (sqrt) 774 houses for 774 hours (a month or so).
More practically, it can power 3,500 houses for a week (168 hours).
Or 12,500 for two days.
Those last two bits make sense to helping even out production or just add to the mix.
Buy a stick of gum with a retail account, and the opt-out universe manifests... you will get an email detailing the purchase, then one offering a coupon on your next stick of gum, then one asking how your in-store experience is, another asking to rate the gum, another asking to subscribe and like to the gum company's facebook, instagram, twitter feed, tiktok, linkedin, indeed, yelp, foursquare, and tripadvisor pages, endless suggestions to join everything from the Gummo Marx fan club to the sustainable chicle growers collective, and then weeks later out of nowhere another series of emails offering curated tours of the great candy stores of the world... and I wish I were making *all* of this up. Know how you'll know if you did a good job? I'll buy more gum and you'll see that in your daily drawer. Also, get off my lawn.
Well, the Win95 bambi-on-ice mouse pointer behavior is *chef's kiss* exquisitely implemented in this release!
