One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

While that's true, a responsible generation aims to boost the next generation to a *higher* level than the education they received. The world has become more complex and faster-paced, and even if that weren't true, the consequenes of aiming high and falling short are better than the consequences of aiming for the status quo and falling short.

So while I'm 100% onboard with skepticism that technology will magically make education better, I think the argument that "the education I got worked for me should be good for them" isn't a strong argument. What we need is a better ecducation that would have been a better education fifty years ago: stronger math, science, and language skills, general knowledge, and, I think critical thinking and media literacy. Possibly emotional intelligence -- it's kind of pointless to teach people critcial thinking skills if they are carried away by emotions.

There are no economic or security reasons to blockade Cuba, so that leaves *political*.

It used to be believed that bullies were low status individuals who are lashing out out of frustration. But research has shown that bullying is an effective strategy for achieving and maintaining social status. In other words it's a political winner. So the focus of research has shifted from the bully to the people around him who enable the bullying. The inner circle are the henchmen -- people without the charisma and daring to initiate the bullying, but join in when the bully gets things started. Around them are the audience, the people who wouldn't risk participating but enjoy the bullying vicariously. And around them are the much larger group of bystanders, who don't approve but are waiting for someone else to stop the bullying. Then off to the side are the defenders, who stand up to the bully.

Perhaps the least appreciated supporting factor in the phenomenon of the high-status bully is the silence of the bystanders, which is dependent upon the perception of widespread approval. Since you can't visibly see the the line between the approving audience and the apalled bystanders, the silence of the bytstanders is absolutely essential in sustaining the bullying.

Lot's of Americans are apalled at the idea of using military force to inflict suffering on the Cuban people. But that's only politically advantageous *because* of *them*. Tney are indistinguishable from the relatively small number of people who are thrilled when Trump announced he can do anything he wants wtih Cuba. The gap between actual approval and *perceived* approval is absolutely critical in establishign and maintaining any kind of authoritarianism. This is why would be authoritarian leaders are so focused on punishing and marginalizing any kind of expression of disapproval.

In 1790, the US population was 94.9% rural. There is no country. in the world today that rural -- Burundi, which looks like blanks spot in the world at night satellite picturs, is 88% rural.

The largest city at the time was New York, with a population of 33,000. Northern Manhattan was near-wilderness, mid-town was farms and country houses.

In 1790 the US was. country you could "police" with sheriffs and volunteer posses, largely to keep the peace. If you got robbed, you hired a private thief catcher. This works in a 95% rural country with just 3.4 million inhabitants. It would be chaos in a country 87x larger.

8GB is plenty of RAM for what most users use their laptops for, if the OS doesn't gobble it up with background tasks. Probably be a good idea to steer clear of Chrome as a browser on these things.

It's actually more like an iPhone 16 Pro runing MacOS in a laptop form factor. Apple basically rummaged through their parts box and pulled out a mobile CPU that'll deliver 50% more single core performance than what's in a high-end Chromebook with only 80% of the power draw. And Apple's got *massive* economies of scale on those parts, so they can afford to deliver a lot of bang for the buck.

The only place the Neo appears to falls short is in RAM, but this is *not* a power user machine, it's for basic office tasks and multimedia consumption. Realistically 8GB is plenty for many users.

In any case, the desktop isn't the center of most users's universe anymore; the switchboard of their life is their smartphone. This is a gateway drug to MacOS IOS integration, and eventually onto the upgrade treadmill. Users will switch seamlewssly between their iPhones and Neos all day long, with data on iCloud and iMusic etc., and when it comes time to upgrade their phone or their laptop, they won't be *stuck* exactly, but if they leave the reservation they lose a lot. But they certainly could upgrade to a *much nicer* Macbook....

It's no wonder the other laptop makers are sitting up and taking notice. Apple has set up a one way conversion ratchet for people tempted by a really nice and perfectly adequate entry level machine at an entry level price.Nobody else has the vertical integration -- chip foundries to device manufacturing, to software platform -- spanning desktop and phones that's needed to do this.

I was actually in college in the 1990s, but yes, a middle schooler today with python on a raspberry pi and a pretty simple GPS module could do this.

I didn't say it wasn't abhorrent or alarming. I'm presenting the scenario that this task of "defend this three dimensional coordinate box" doesn't require AI.

Yes, it did. The beacon signals weren't that good back then, neither were the sensors. I had the same problem in the fake robot battles I was involved in.

The answer turned out to be a solution not from Defense industries, but from Genie Garage Door Openers.

The robot doesn't care. The robot's job isn't foreign policy. The robot's job is "here's a box defined by this coordinate cloud, defend it"

Like I said, I programmed it for a fighting robot back in the 1990s. It ain't that complex, and with today's drone factory ships, the Navy can now output this level of AI in killbots at a rate of 10,000 a day.

Anyone who's watched a house go up has marveled at how quickly the framing goes up, then how long it takes everything else to get done.

Framing is about 1/l4 of the build time for a house. The *labor* for framing is less than 10% of the build cost. If the machine cost *nothing*, and framed the building *instantaneously*, those are hard limits on how much faster and cheaper the house building robot could make the process: about 25% faster with about a 10% cost reduction. But the machine wouldn't work instantaneously, nor would it be free.

There already is a better way of doing this. You prefabricate the house in units, ship them to the site, then bolt the units together. The modules could be completely finished at the factory. Savings over traditional construction would be substantial -- 40%. The problem is, can you build houses people want to buy and which local building codes will allow you to live in. If you throw out expectations that a house looks like a house a child would draw with crayons, you can build a really nice. So with prefab houses you either have things that look like mobile homes; or things that look like they were designed by a scandanavian architect. Houses that *look* like mid-range, hand-built homes are a tough nut to crack.

There was a movement among architects to use pre-fabricated construction to solve the problem of housing returning GIs after WW2. It didn't catch on as the kind of democratizing mass produced housing the movement envisioned because people wanted a house that looked hand-built. But if you can get over that, it produced some really great houses. One of the more famous examples (although not completely pre-fabricated) is the Eames House. There's a company from that period that's still in business, but they pre-fabricate million dollar luxury homes, not mass produced housing.

The obstacles to prefabricated houses are regulatory, which is why it can't reach the middle of the market. Anti-mobile home rule discourage really cheap pre-fabricated houses, but high end producers can afford to jump through the regulatory hoops. For mid-range houses, the regulatory burden outweighs the economic advantage of prefabrication. This could allow a framing robot to have a niche, although as I pointed out it won't save much money on the build cost.

I sent him the design documents of the Smart Phone that got Warren Buffet to sell $133 billion in Apple.

Yes, I'm a thing... I designed the Smart Phone in 2000 to fight now the surveillance state we're in now.

I'm James Sager, the brains behind Steve Jobs... Want to see proof: https://techaform.com/

If you run regedit, you can see the key of any facing computer and use it on your home computer.

The entire idea of keys is flawed. You can't actually use these and expect security. So Bill 'Bioterrorist/Scopex/Cancer meat/Brain on a Chip/Little kid banging Epstein' Gates is jailing others from his own mistakes?

Priceless

Hello,
Steve Jobs didn't invent the Smart Phone, I did in 2000, signed by Carnegie Mellon
If I wanted money, I would have sued em 20 years ago.
I'm already succeeding in what I wanted to achieve because revealing these designs to Warren Buffet's lawyers
resulted in Warren Buffet selling $133 billion in Apple stock.
I didn't want money. I designed this to fight surveillance state.
Yes, I chose to not take big money when I was young so I could help the world when I was older. Not many are like me.
I saw the phone would have GPS and everyone would use it (ubiquitousness).
As a punk, but not yet a Christian, I stood vs corporations and control at age 23. I saw it coming.
I had a choice: Don't invent the Smart Phone, or...
...invent it so well that I'd have a hand in the game down the road. So I chose to bridge over the River Kwaii it.
In addition to forcing Warren Buffet's hand to sell his stock:
I interfered with the Sam Altman openAI deal by explaining Apple has forward and back liability of 8% to me.
I contacted Europe to fine/regulate Apple/Google and two weeks later they did start regulating.
I likely induced the stock panic in March 5, 2025 (https://facebook.com/groups/visionprocommunity/posts/3959488814298117/).
That's a total of $640 billion Tim Crook already cost his company. Solid damage for just one man:
The fun part is, Apple and Google are playing the game wrong because they think, like yourself, that I want money.
Nope, I want to burn the surveillance state... Seeing as Tim Crook is such a bad CEO that he chose to push agendas,
he cost his company $640 billion instead of just paying me a small $5 million and allow me to help Apple to another
design revolution as happened in 2007 using my designs. I have screenless cell phone designs, house automation, etc...
Likely over 100,000 people know of me today as the Father of the Smart Phone
Many see me as a champion for freedom world wide who'd rather live in poverty willingly than give in to the surveillance state.

Crimes of Apple that identified them as the very 1984 they said they'd fight vs in their 1984 commercial:
Apple turned people into the UK government for stuff they said near their phone.
Apple turned off Chinese Revolutionary air pods interfering with war.
Google censored the deadly vax. Murdering millions and disabling tens of millions.
Apple and Amazon censored Parler stating "Free speech is for na,.zis"

Many of the design papers from 2000 that Tim Cook stole: https://techaform.com/bin/Smar...
Obviously I'm looking for legal representation on contingency.
Remember to me, this isn't about money, but the harder we hit Apple the more wind we cut out of global tyranny.
AI is stating the case is between $500 billion to $1 trillion
My estimates using the $1.05 billion won by Apple from Samsung from "rounded corners" is around $240 billion to $480 billion.
Google would be about 70% of Apple's take so $350 to 700 billion using AI models or $170 billion to $340 billion using my models.
So total case value: $850 billion to $1.7 trillion or $410 billion to $820 billion.
You know how evil Apple and Google have become. How about you give me a phone call and see that I'm legit and better for the world
than ol Tim Crook and Sundai Pinchar who know who I am and aren't bringing me on for more technological improvement I brought
into the world 2007-2015... Designs from 2000, take a gander at the above links.
Sincerely,
James Wilbur Sager III
