Oh my god. Thank you so much! I never knew this was possible and it's really helpful!

Is this a logical conclusion or is this correlation in a time when companies in myriad industries are pushing rent over buying because margins are so much better?

Piracy has been present since the advent of the personal computer and I think it's accepted by most that some people will pay, and others just won't. I'm not sure that AI reverse engineering changes this picture.

As a European, I never had that either :-)

Though, if the point is that clean/fast/cheap public transportation is the dream, then I unreservedly agree.

Took a few last year on a trip to San Francisco and it felt like the future. It's not lost on me that enshittification will take its toll, the fleet will get nastier over time, prices will increase, etc. I'm also torn about more money being given to mega corporations. But purely from a service-enjoyment and technology-appreciation point of view it was amazing!

Ah, that's the piece I was missing. Thank you

Really dumb question - but how does the phone know the distance from your phone lens to your telescope lens? I assume this varies greatly from mount to mount and will change how accurate the app is?

Don't grow old

Alexa's big issue for me was that you had to remember very specific commands and unless you remembered the exact syntax you were out of luck. I genuinely think if the AI had been better and had been able to interpret commands better, skills would have been infinitely more useful.

To me it serves two needs really well:

- A phone that fits in the hand for those who have long desired a smaller iPhone. This isn't me, but I know a lot of people who bemoaned the death of the smaller line of iPhones and many have held onto their old phones longer than they otherwise would have (not a bad thing, just a data point...) - A versatile device that allows switching of modes as required. Great for commutes, travel, etc.

It's not for everyone and I'm normally a Pro Max user so definitely don't fit into the first category, but I'm really tempted on this one

Interesting. I wonder if this could be extended to take MPO 3D photos.

I assume/hope that Tesla teleoperators are required to have drivers licenses in the states in which the cars they are operating are located?

I haven't thought about Bézier Curves since my undergrad a long time ago. I distinctly remember wondering at the time why so many lecturers added extra hurdles (i.e. the need to understand the intricacies of Bézier Curves) in their assignments rather than letting students focus on the computer science/programming concepts they were meant to be learning.

That part is indeed interesting. I would have thought this would be exactly the audience likely to travel with the device, use it as a large monitor for daily work, etc. Apparently not.

That price always made it seem like a tech demo. I suspect that they would have sold like crazy at (the unfeasible price point of) $500.

> It would be incredibly useful if before you were about to edit a file, the version control system would warn you that someone else has made changes to it already or are actively working on it. In large teams, this sort of automation would reduce conflicts, as long as humans agree to not touch the same file. This would also reduce the amount of quality regressions that result from bad conflict resolutions.

Bringing me back to my VSS days (and I'd much rather you didn't)
