Apple Intelligence? Aritificial intelligence? Artificial ingredients?

This was decades later, and while his spoke only sparingly of his times working on the Manhatten project, here are his recollections of what he saw:

You mean as in "Stopover in a Quiet Town"? Are we in the Twilight Zone?

Back in 2003, SCO sent letters to all its System V Unix source code licensees demanding certification in writing that they were in compliance. When Daimler Chrysler failed to respond (due to SCO having an out-of-date mailing address in the intervening 16 years) SCO filed a lawsuit. How did that turn out?

Broadcom might find it informative to check out case 07-11337 in Delaware bankruptcy court. Still pending after 18 years.

YT is great. It hosts my videos, operates a forum for comments, and provides all sorts of analytics, in return for which I don't have to pay a single sheckel. I have no interest in monetization (and would be resentful if it tried to do so), in return for which YT does not insert ads into my content. If YT makes billions in return, that OK by me. Just don't let it show up on my tax return.

Colossus and Guardian!

The coolest piece of tech at my HS was this room where they had stations set up for each student, who would don headphones and listen to a language tape (I was taking French, and the other choices were Spanish and German) and recite back into a microphone, and the teacher would randomly connect, listen, and tell you how bad you were speaking. Overall, pretty useless.

Computers were "in the air" but not a thing yet.

Back when it was launched, my neighbor asked what kind of mileage it would get. Using rough estimates for the rocket fuel used at launch, I figured that, by the time it reached the moon, it was getting about 24 mpg. Anyone willing to hazard a guess at what the figure is today?

Back when Slashdot introduced new features, it offered a way out. To this day, I append ?nobeta=1 to the URL, and voila! New features gone.

When Google introduce AI results to its search queries, it offered a way out. I now include &udm=14, and voila! AI results gone.

What will Apple offer?

At work I have one Windows machine (still Win 10) solely to run one particular engineering app. I expect that the app would run fine on Win 11.

In the meantime, last summer I was trying to travel on an airline on the same say that the crowdstrike outage hit. Fortunately there was a flight crew that hadn't timed out, so I was able to return home with only a 5 hour delay.

Returning to work, my Win computer was borked. Reboot, reboot, cast some spells, wait another 5 hours, finally back in service.

Then came the MS Outlook email outage.

Three strikes and you're out. That machine has now been excessed and will not be replaced.

So far, a whole lotta nuttin'.

I missed the last Apple event. Apple loves comparing the specs for its latest hardware with that of the competition. What value did it quote for the M4 mini?

Yep
