Local coding LLMs are going to be the hot new commodity this year.

LAST WORDS

“I was never a SaaS. I was just Marty.”

Saw an ad last week for a startup pitching ‘Let AI in your bank.’

Basically, letting Clawed or other automated agents direct access to your bank account. Tie thay to an automated travel agent and let it fly. Don’t remember their name, and if I did, wouldn’t want it spreading to ruin someone’s life.

Basically, the cryptobro/YOLO crowd, handed unexploded ordnance.

Been six days since the new Siri announcement. Still on the waiting list. Will reserve judgment until we actually get access.

Excellent way to encourage responsible disclosure.

There are so many more worthwhile startup projects you can pour $12B into.

Given how connected these cars are, I bet there’s telemetry being collected on the state of that latch and how often the door is actually opened once the vehicle is stopped.

Another option is to put a weight in the driver’s seat. But if vehicle is stopped, the door is open, AND there is weight in seat, they’ll probably be able to tell. Plus, there are cameras pointed at the drivers.

One way is to have the vehicle turn on the AC remotely, BEFORE the driver enters the van. They have cameras on all sides and can check for that. Or through their phone and proximity sensing. This way, AC is off when nobody is inside, it conserves battery, and makes it still cool when driver steps inside.

Using a wire continuity tester, and hearing that sweet beep.

Time for the Universal Life Church to step in.

As an ordained minister (and fully-paid Saint), would highly approve.

Sudoku’s origin story.

They’re trying to low-key, sneak in VBscript and XAML.

Laws of unintended consequence. Getting snake and mongoose vibes from this.

People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.

The plastic vat quality inspector is here.

Between DJI Action 6 and Insta360 X5 on the high end, and the cheap knockoffs on the low end, GoPro is in a big pinch. Unless they pull a totally new rabbit out of the hat.

There’s always been a short distance between SEO and manufactured opinion.

Was doing enterprise IoT consulting a while back. Asked why they needed to collect all the data? Nobody could answer. Someone finally said, so we can analyze usage patterns. I asked, “OK, but why?” Finally, someone said: “So we know when and where to advertise our sales.”

Also did automotive consulting work. Connected vehicles. Asked the same questions. I’m not too worried about my car collecting a lot of data. It’s so they can plan their next sales event.

Not that it’s OK to violate privacy. Just saying, the reason may be way more banal than we think

I never understood why a well-known brand like RayBan would want to be associated with this.
