This sounds like one agent at each junction point, that may or may not be running the same model and architecture as the previous one, and they need to constantly crawl each other or just a protocol to call each other. But then you have a million of then constructing a docuverse web all having an agent who all need to know each other and its all connections and each a database repository.

Well you only need links that exist, and those that are created.

In a paragraph it may exist in one node that is referenced and that node may be a collection of other nodes, or each sentence or even each word points to other nodes, how much does each model know and what does it keep in its database. A point to the next node is not necessarily durable or versioned, and that goes for each node is connects to.

A single paragraph could have thousands or more sources, references, and each source would need versioning and depending on version it may well point to different nodes in prior or future versions.

A proper version of a paragraph would then need to know this, or expect that all nodes with an agent will be durable and rational and interoperable but if you build on that premise it will not work in the real world.

All unless you keep the docuverse limited in scope to a few data stores and agents who comprehend that spatial universe, and it is a form of an intranet

This is all made possible by broker app on the iPhone / (or other device) to send data back and forward. When I first read the headline I thought it would integrate directly into the Apple ecosystem without needing middlemen which would have been crazy impressive since I believe it is or very near entirely impossible.

Well from his product page for exe.dev and the devtools he mentions

- GitHub closed source - AWS closed source - GCP closed source . Slack closed source - ChatGPT closed source . Claud closed source - though mention only in passing Google Docs is also closed source

Then they hawk a product they are selling: Cloud Pool plan

If you limit the argument to just be the exact thing you have running on your desktop then I think the definition is so narrow its nearly useless.

Your rent payments now, may be quite different in a few months. If you rent an apartment in a desirable location, which is far easier than owning a house in a desirable location, then rent payments are huge.

And comparable or worse than owning a house in farther out.

Your luck with landlords can wary a lot, and your rent payments may increase substantially with little notice. The landlord may also sell the building with either different management or repurpose it for something else and you will have to find a different apartment.

You may also suddenly have unpleasant neighbors. That is true with a house as well, but the distance between you and them is closer in an apartment.

As a dog lover, If you wish to have a big dog your may not be allowed to. If you want a yard to kids to play, you cant. If you want chickens you cant. (I know many in Denver who do) If you wish to install extra cooling /AC/heatpump you probably cant.

None of that negates your arguments fully, but the case is far from as black and white as you make it.

It is depressing how little has changed.

SO this is what pretty much all media does these days right?

Post an article on the newspaper, substack, wherever and then a a link to it on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Blue and wherever else.

The question I why did you edit photos? What was goal? Why were you doing it in the first place?

I guess the thing you have discovered shooting analog is that each click is a finite resource so you spend more time composing and being aware of the scene before you take the photo.

Saving £20 is nice.

Having your 36 snapshots developed at a decent lab will cost you more.

In you are paying them additionally for edits as well you are on longer saving money. You just pay someone else.

Or are you giving it to a company that runs it through an automated usually digital these days sometimes analog machine that develops them automatically? Those machines usually do edits as well. But highly automated ones. (I am not sure they make them anymore)

Having my medium format film developed is far from cheap.

Lightroom is far from the only editor out there and it is not a great editor to start with. Lightroom is a Frankenstein combination of of a DAM and an editor.

You probably will want some form of DAM to organize your photos regardless.

I have been awake too long so I am probably stupid. Please have mercy.

I don't understand. NASA says they goal of landing on the moon in 2028 is not realistic.

They are adding a launch in 2027 to do more testing.

Great.

It will be followed by one possibly two lunar landings in 2028. Are the now 2028 landings primarily testing SpaceX integration?

The Artemis rockets are huge, and extremely expensive. And the build time is considerable.

Now they are planning 3 rockets in two years, each of which is not reusable?

Then they have to build those in parallel, which makes sense but incorporating wha you learn in 2027, into rockets you have already nearly finished seems an odd approach

Is the software good at what it does? Does it give a good return on investment?

That seems like a question worth knowing the answer to.

A second good question is what are the available competitors?

If the NCY Public Hospitals drop Palantir today, What systems will give them the same functionality at a comparable, (hopefully cheaper) price?

You cannot.

iOS is one problem, but it goes for every other device/server/desktop/appliance that you use.

You can take a lot of precautions, and mitigate some risk, and ensure that operations can continue even if something bad happens¹, but you cant ever "be safe".

¹ "" There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know "" (Often attributed to Donald Rumsfeld, though he did not originate the concept.)

Know what bad can happen is difficult.

The different between taxes (you -must- pay (unless X loopholes applies to you)) whereas tariffs are voluntary and even more so then sales tax.

You may chose not to buy any products or goods that requires you to pay tariffs.

Which is the primarily goal to begin with. Influence consumer behaviour.

I realize that for some products and goods there may not be a an alternative choice of products or goods that do have tariffs.

In theory, over time, these will be increasingly replaced by products and services that have the competitive advantage of not having to tariffs applied to them.

Once tariffs are in place for a year or two it is possible that, domestic producers have expand capacity, have created jobs have caused supply chains shift and new production is based on the tariff based price structure

This however takes time. And to what extent it happens is not easy to predict.

Some may think that the next president will remove all tariffs the moment he or she takes office, so it is a short term problem. The problem with removing them all, is if the above has happened, and removing them will destroy American jobs.

Those are exactly the groups that are meant to pay for the tariffs.

A factor in this that is not mentioned is that companies selling goods to the US may have made an effort to lower prices, altering production to lessen tariffs or in other way tried to offset the extra amount US consumers have to pay.

An estimate of that would be quite interesting.

The big problem EUs continuous big talk on digital sovereignty, which is a good and vital concept, is that funding is ridiculously lacking.

Terms used like; “European hyperscale cloud” “Sovereign infrastructure” “Strategic autonomy” “European data centers for critical workloads”

Which ended up in various efforts and projects

Digital Europe Programme, Recovery and Resilience Facility, IPCE

(I am not deeply familiar with EU projects)

I believe funding was around low hundreds of millions (€) total

To build one hyperscaler region might cost around €10 billion.

The second problem is that systems that were suggested out of it still relied on US software stack, US computers, etc.

It is not like the EU member states could not fund it, some estimates say aggregated EU and member states have spent €350 billion in Ukraine.

That is not to say they should not do that, nor to suggest you have to chose one or the other but it is demonstration that EU+Member states can fund massive efforts, If deemed important enough.

and EU+Memberstates so far have not felt an urgency or will to really invest in digital sovereignty.

Some samples of the DSL code and what they sound like would be a good addition. (Or it is already there and I could not find it)
