So-- basically until the next administration. Interesting timing.

At which point installations can be grandfathered in under previous rules. It would be so unfair to the corporations to suddenly have to meet the stricter standards that came out of nowhere.

We're not there quite yet, but I think within the decade at this pace it may be possible to create targeted bioweapons for purposes of targeted assassination or genocide. It's horrifying, but a world in which everyone has a superintelligence is a world where that will sometimes happen.

It's horrifying, but a world in which only few have superintelligence is a world where that will happen all the time.

Either everyone can afford it, or no one can. Choose well.

A lot of the Netherlands was rebuilt postwar in the 50s with exactly the kind of car-centric design you're talking about. But then in the 70s they realized their mistake and started to reverse it.

What I'm saying is-- don't be defeatist about this. In places where density is high enough (maybe not LA sprawl), you can fix this.

Trying to figure out what demographic this is for and I'm coming up empty. Any ideas?

It's too small to replace my ipad, too big to replace my phone. Seems too fragile for kids, plus they don't need that. Maybe it's good for the elderly?

I'm a (Samsung) Fold user. They're great - a year in I never, or rarely if ever see the minute crease, and ditto here with Apple. The reality is that ~70% of the time I want a small screen. It's perfect (if thick due to the fold). It opens to "larger" (i.e 8 inches) which is great - compared to what I had before (6.9").

I'm actually hoping that this will force Samsung to solve their silly lockscreen choices, and the fact that it needs to be "configured" to be useful, because it's separate (Multilock - I'm talking to you). Honestly, I would happily take even bigger. The extra real estate when you want it is great. But it needs to hit tablet(ish) sizes. We're just in early days.

it's the most expensive iPhone. People want to flex their wealth. Foldable phones usually replace phones, not tablets.

Yes, same. But these ones don't have eartips, so we are going to have to wait for the Pro version if we want these.

oh IDK how I didn't notice that.

I also have huge hands, but a few years ago started to develop a persistent thumb sprain due “reaching” with it across my phone. This is problem that would not have happened if my phone was the size they used to be.

I love multiple dispatch and I wish more languages had it

It's a really nice feature. That said, I do think in the earlier days, the community did get a bit too enthusiastic about it, and used it in a lot of places in the ecosystem that didn't make so much sense.

I think things have come down to a much more reasonable place though now.

This pushed me off of a cheaper model into a more expensive one :'(

Paleo diets are passé. The new fad diet is medieval. And frankly the science isn't any worse.

It's interesting how some of these came to the right conclusions (given sanitary standards at the time) but for entirely the wrong reasons. A lot of the food that was unhealthy was food that could go bad quickly or carry illnesses

If you recognize something is bad but lack the knowledge to explain it, it isn't completely crazy to invent a taboo against it.
