Tax - why not both billionaires and land.

It's sad such a great product gets wrecked like this, literally against its creator's wishes, then gaslights us too.

Us: No consumer wants this.

Microsoft: did the user utter some nonsense?

Not collect data? Heresy!

I'll take the risk.

Nor one from Russia.

Let's talk a single water utility.

1980's, full local operations. They connect to the internet and use that for updates and operations. Then in close down or minimize their ops center because remote, and replace/reduce people with less skilled cheaper options (guessing here)

Scale that, it's expensive to go back

I don't see the part about helping quarterly earnings. #useless.

Next.

Great explanation. lawnmower like the honey badger.

I'm not a pull request person for Garmin myself. I switched because of battery life.

I run with phone clenched in hand.

From Apple:

"Apple Watch Series 12 continues to offer up to 24 hours of everyday battery life and now offers up to 10 hours of battery life during an outdoor workout — 25 percent more than the previous model.

Apple Watch Series 12 also offers faster charging: Just 15 minutes now gets up to 12 hours of additional battery life — 50 percent more than the previous model — so users can quickly recharge while getting ready for the day or before bed."

I have a Garmin for the express reason of battery life. I get 2-3 weeks per charge and it's "oh I should charge it eventually" "about to start a jog - oh it's a 6%, ok charge it tomorrow..."

This is decent used car territory.

This year it's the most ___ ever.

(I hope so, would be embarrassing to say last years iphone was faster but used more power, so ....)

Sounds miserable.

Where do we sign up?

The folks around me that computing includes a lot of social and game consumption.

Put a screen on that last 1/2 of the back and sell as Duo Max.

The only winning move is not to play.

I saw this the past year - new employees would put problems into Claude first instead of debugging. A year back I was debug manually first, now I do the same.

The speed AI debugs at is incredible and yes, we lose touch the more we use it like any manager feet up barking orders to their underlings to get things done.

Cool, I see the health value of this. Now talk about the commercial value that has folks really excited.

I do this also - but wonder because I'll have some app open, phone gets warm. Close the app and it cools down.

"And that AI companies undoubtedly accelerated this economic turnaround. OpenAI has contributed $236 million in gross receipt taxes over the past several years, which is great for the city coffers, but the success has come with a damning cost."

.. that's generally how it works.

If the city wants more money from the companies, tax em.

Curious what was the use case that drove the creation?

Location: San Jose, CA Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: SRE + AI agent development, Python, Shell, Postgres, Go, Kubernetes (user side) and then learn whatever is needed for the role. Currently building full-stack voice agent and back-end integration (Typescript + Postgres via Claude) Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregglain/ Email: gregglain@gmail.com

Looking for FTE or lead roles as I've had 20 years on the command line and managed a lot of projects w/o the lead title.
