The exact same thing jumped out at me, for the opposite reason. I have unlimited data + tethering, so I can use my laptop with fast internet anywhere. That's the big breakthrough for me, not the glasses+phone combo.

Working in a park is amazing. You are still enjoying the ambience/vibe, but yeah, you're also writing a blog post or whatever. For me, that doesn't distract from the park or the productivity. They both enhance each other.

Same with a coffee shop -- this is why coffee shops have wifi passwords, because many people in there are on the internet, soaking up the ambience/vibe.

For me it was more than my first scan. I understand the word is Majorana, but when I go to pronounce it or read it, my brain reports back "Major-auwana."

The people who signed off on this name a) do a lot of drugs or b) didn't notice because they have never come anywhere near weed

1) More spam on Android by far 2) Spotify not blocked

There’s a bit of religion happening in both directions. iOS has, objectively, fewer problems than Android in these regards and part of that are the policies.

Yup. Weird internet never went anywhere. You’ve always been able to find bespoke, organic, locally owned, premium grade A hipster indie stuff online.

It’s just not as popular to as many people.

There was a whole trial about this. If Apple had these deals, it would have come out. Google and Apple ran things differently.

If you know that putting four wheels on a car works better than putting three wheels on a car, that doesn't make you biased against three wheels. It makes you biased towards better results.

We know that "thought diversity" on a team, which can take many forms, has a short term drawback (team gelling doesn't go as fast) and long term advantages (more ideas, better ideas, better resilience, etc etc).

Read up.

I love Pi, but I'm not on the market for asking it to act like Hitler or talk about relating to Mother Teresa or not.

The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did <my sports team> do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.

In that spirit, here are some thoughts.

* Sam goes to MS * Sam stays at OpenAI * Sam starts his own thing

His own thing feels super unlikely because he’s said he’d go to MS.

Staying at OpenAI feels super likely since the staff revolted. 50%? 75%?

Going to MS seems likely but maybe slightly less so. 25%? 50%?

Bookmark this comment because I am a genius and time will prove it.
