Gas turbines are a stopgap solution for them. They would prefer to use the grid energy, but grid hookups for large datacenters take _years_ to plan and build. And with the pace of AI deployment companies feel that they can't wait that long.

LTO-9 writes at 300 megabytes per second for uncompressed data. So 2-3x of that for things like text. And unlike HDDs, this is sustained and constant. A tape library with 3-5 tape drives can easily saturate a 40G network.

Why? You don't need anything exotic to run reasonably-sized models locally. I'm using Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on a machine with two 32 Gb VRAM AMD GPUs and 128 Gb regular RAM at 100 tokens per second. It just finished debugging a bug in the iSCSI bridge for a tape drive.

Doesn't matter. Open models can do the same already, if with a bit more hand-holding.

Passkeys are by _definition_ moveable, so they can't be rooted in hardware. You can use WebAuthn to create device-rooted keys that never live the hardened secure enclave.

Are they making anything, anyway? Their food delivery website is a disaster, and it's been getting worse. The ride-hailing app has also not changed in years.

I like using less common English words. But now everyone just assumes that it's all Claude :(

Except that App Store is now mandatory for any business app.

Agreed. It should be more like $25. $100 is _way_ too much.

Also don't forget having to use Apple hardware to do the development.

How? The net result: we are $1.2B poorer. Are you doing accounting for DOGE?

Why do you need all these features (apart from the remote start)? Just use CarPlay/AA.

Sorry, on mobile now and it's difficult to look up. You can search for the number of arrests and the number of lethal shootings during an arrest by race. Black people have far more interactions with police per capita, but each interaction is less likely to result in death than for other races.

What exactly? The tax return information is available from the IRS. Cross-reference it with Census district zoning.

So offices create value, not people in them? Do a mental experiment: replace offices with remote work. How much value remains?

No. Around 80-85% of people would prefer to live in single-family homes. People instead are forced by economics to live in dense areas that are designed to be hostile for humans (bike lanes instead of roads, forced public transit, no good grocery stores forcing people to eat junk, etc.)

Police are statistically less likely to harm Black people during an arrest.
