I don't think Apple has missed out on much (yet). The best LLM's (e.g. gpt4o, sonnet 3.7) are no where near being able to run locally and still make mistakes.

Some LLMs can run locally, but are brutally slow with small context windows.

Apple is likely waiting until you can run a really good model on device (i.e. iOS), which makes sense to me. It's not like they're losing customers over this right now.

So true. One of my better accomplishments as a parent is the BS detection skills of my kids.

I think so. Using SQLite for an application of that scale would require lots of additional work around caching and queuing at the very least. Much of that could be reduced by using Postgres or some other database designed for that workflow.

Still, if many successful enterprises started SQLite for things of this scale, I should probably reach out to them to see whether there's anything missing from my analysis.
Yes. You can write whatever malicious firmware in a hardware you have physical access, with or without the undocumented opcodes. Not OTA though, unless there's a bug in the radio stack. Is not an open question.
Not the same reason at all. In genetics the reason is that you're losing gene variety and eventually recessive genes aren't suppressed anymore. In case of LLM it's just error accumulation.
The Cybertruck didn't do anything to the brand, the Cybertruck is a manifestation of the brand. Musk is a visionary who just happened to have a vision that had overlap with the zeitgeist (electric cars in the 2010s) but he is not a savant, most of visions are absolute nonsense, and we're now seeing that play out. The Model 3 is more of an aberration for Musk. The Cybertruck is pure Musk.

The most useful way to leverage LLMs for me has been as "content fillers". I'm a software engineer, and work with a rather large code base. Some parts are rarely touched, and loading the context into my brain whenever I need to go back to them requires quite a bit of effort. I found that asking cursor/Claude to suggest how to make the required chande rarely comes up with the right solution but usually points me in the right direction and is enough to help me load the context up. Similarly with my side projects, which typically involves knowledge that I don't use in my day to day.

It's a near-universal sentiment and based on both.

However, you get major successes by taking risks. Evaluating people and businesses, I do so based on successes and not on failures. The best people (and businesses) I know failed more times than successful ones. Cybertruck was a good try, and it takes a few like that to be successful.

Of the problems I have with Tesla, the Cybertruck is not one of them.

Well, that's a bit of a naive take.

You're not going to do business in a cartel/mafia infested area and not have to deal with them. In the same way that a construction company in Naples is going to get a friendly visit at some point. Or in the way a forest keeper in Romania or Bulgaria will also be reminded of what is good for them and their family. (As experienced repeatedly by the brother of a friend)

> The popular vote count is a measure of the level of support for the candidate.

This would only be true if the popular vote result would be entirely unchanged if the election system was changed to be based on popular vote. And the popular vote would almost definitely have been different if the election results were based on popular vote, so it's then not a measure of the level of support for the candidate.

> The electoral vote count is, unfortunately, how we determine who gets the office

Why is it unfortunate?

> That says nothing about the overall support a candidate has.

Can you cite any evidence that the popular vote is a better indication of the candidate's popular support than the electoral college?

> In the end, Trump had the support of 1.5% more actual voters than Harris did.

Again this would only be true if the popular vote would be unaffected if the election was based on popular vote, which is a false assumption.

> he has no mandate.

Please cite.

> And we really have no idea what would have happened if our system was based on the popular vote.

This seems to contradict everything else you wrote as your reasoning is only valid if you work under the assumption that the popular vote would not have changed at all if the system was based on the popular vote.
This Feb 12 2025 report in Milenio about an América Móvil press conference seems to be the source.

The chain looks like Milenio (Spanish) > Mexico Daily Post (English) > everyone else.

http://archive.today/JwEcG

In October of last year, América Móvil's CFO, Carlos García Moreno, confirmed during a call with analysts that they were seeking an agreement with SpaceX's Starlink to expand the collaboration between the two companies. If successful, the collaboration agreement will allow Musk's company to connect to América Móvil's main mobile services network, joining the commercial alliance to resell the firm's services that they had previously agreed upon. However, on Monday the Mexican businessman confirmed that these agreements were “pushed back” because they prefer to invest in their own infrastructure to offer this type of services. “It is better to put our own towers, plants and the optical fiber that links them,” he said.

It's a deep and complicated part of history, but I think calling out a single main problem really risks skipping over the depth and scale of the problems.

Scattered points - but during the famine to earn 'wage' of insufficient grain ration, you had to work. This happened in work houses and camps, not necessarily in their homes or home areas. Workhouses existed in most towns where labourers lived, leaving their homes and families or after being evicted. Families were split up, Men, Women and Children did not live together. The workhouses and camps had terrible conditions, and the work was hard enough to have injuries and deaths even ignoring the illnesses that spread and grew worse from conditions. The work was often pointless - famine roads for example, roads to nowhere, so the work effort did nothing to improve the situation.

Those that had been evicted for failing to pay their rent, as they couldn't afford food or had not potato crops to sell, were considered convicts. As they were paid for their labour in food and sometimes lodging, they could not work their way out of situation or pay for healthcare when they got sick or injured. Many immigrated as things worsened year-on-year, on famine ships, but were refused and rejected from docking in multiple countries due to fear of the infectious illnesses they carried and burden they would inflict - and those stuck on ships became more unwell.

There was enough food, in fact a surplus in Ireland - but the "excess" was exported and cheaper questionable alternatives were imported for the soup kitchens and workhouses. Potatoes were such a single point of failure not by coincidence - many lived as tenants on landlords land, on tiny holdings but were expected to produce their own food. Potatoes were the only crop able to do this, or rather the holdings had sized down because Potatoes allowed it.

To me, that all screams of a systems failure and would not have been fixed with simply larger rations. Even ignoring the morality part to how the system was formed, how Ireland was ruled and Landlord system worked - the Potato Famine exposed the problems and limitations of the system with urgent crisis. The system did not adapt, did not act proactively or even react, and did not seem to learn in time to respond to a growing crisis.

One of the learnings surely was how terrible the concept is of worrying about people becoming too dependent on assistance in a crisis - debating the morale hazard and long-term dependency concerns runs the risk for short term death, disease and collapse.

It isn't said in Ireland that the famine was caused by the Potato, or by the meagre rations - It's said it was caused by the British, really the system in place rather than the British race but that doesn't simplify as well.

Yeah it’s hit the democratic echo chamber pretty hard with no links to a corporate announcement or other actual source. I’m also curious what his actual plans were, given that Starlink is incredibly bad at high urban density broadband. Was this rural solution of some kind?

>just to do the math for you, a 1 year average tenure would be

The guy I replied to did say median tenure (where I was talking about mean or average tenure), so relative to a median tenure sure, doubling the staff would do that.

But you said average, in which case no that isn't true. Google is a 26 year old company. If you randomly distributed tenures across a hypothetical employee base (1-26 years), it would take something like 1200% growth to get the average tenure under 2 years. And of course Google's actual employee count growth rate over the past decade and a half is more in the range of 12%, so a couple of factors off for that.

Even when people say the average tenure is 3 -- doubtful -- that still requires an insane level of turnover for a company growing so slowly, relatively, and being so old.

The $22B number comes from the stock market downturn leading to a loss of wealth of $7B for Musk that happened to be on the same day that Slim said they will cancel contracts for an unspecified amount with Starlink and invest $22B into developing their own infrastructure.

So, the headline is completely false.
It includes those things, yes. As with photography, data analysis, investigating, editing, etc.
This is one of the aims behind Fair Trade.

I never understood why people think Musk is some kind of genius man.

He absolutely is a very good salesman and marketeer but that's about it. Everything he sold that was successful was created by others. The moment he starts to interfere things go wrong. The Cybertruck is a great example.

It is also known that people at SpaceX hate it when he is around telling people what to do because most of it doesn't make sense.

Now he is in politics it becomes clear to a lot of people who he really is. A greedy salesman.
I prefer non violent responses personally. I think boycotts are better than actually burning down places or vandalizing them. If you condone violence that often leads to a further reactionary breakdown in society, a downward spiral, where as boycotts don’t.

Boycotts and non violent protests also remove the ability to turn it back on the protests and say they are the one who are unreasonable. But introducing violence and vandalism can discredit the protests.

I'm not sure if you are mocking the absurdity of the false communist narrative or just repeating it uncritically.

So to be clear: Communists exported food, stolen from the people who grew it, which is very well known, here's one citation from Wikipedia:

> In regard to exports, Michael Ellman states that the 1932–1933 grain exports amounted to 1.8 million tonnes, which would have been enough to feed 5 million people for one year.[16]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930%E2%80%93...

Further it wasn't "stupidity" of Communists but rather a deliberate genocide of those considered inferior. They sent groups of soldiers around the countryside to steal more grain as children starved in the streets. It is one of the more horrific acts of brutality in the 20th century, all in service of authoritarianism.
