This was posted earlier. Just because they’re not going to give it to authorities doesn’t mean it won’t sell it to them. Or that it isn’t selling it to everybody else already. The other thread mentions that iOS natively has an app that’s completely private, and that there are apps for android and iOS that don’t share the data with anybody.

One of my bosses has a concept of “T-shaped developers”, which means you know everything a little, and have depth on one thing.

7months: ouch, sorry to hear. I wish I had some words of wisdom to share.

It works great if nobody ever leaves or dies or takes vacation. We try to discourage siloization of projects and emphasize cross-training - it makes the job more interesting, gives people more/better tools to solve problems with, etc. And anytime the business objects we mention the project where X left and how painful it is to get new anything added/enhanced because none of those tenets were involved.

However, all bets are off with offshore contractors. Some want to learn, some simply don’t care and will do the bare minimum.

Depending, it could be your freezer, if you’re storing it there for a bit.

My mother in law has a book about “Woke Jesus”, and I know some churches have had issues because the parishioners think Jesus was a wuss.

The profit margins are insane compared to sedans.

There’s one out there, named something like kangaroo, where they actually have signed firmware, and a hardware read/write switch (most of the time, the read/write switch is software based) parentheses.

I’m sure there will be some fun “huh, odd, all the votes for X went to Y” if it happens.

Ironically, I could see that being the catalyst for ranked choice voting.

Siri, with a local model so that it can actually figure out what albums want to listen to, is one of the only use cases I have for an LLM

“Chip ‘N Dale vs Gripmunk! Another reason to watch UPN in the afternoon!”

Thanks! Yeah, not sure either, just says Smartish Gripmunk. But that looks nice, thanks for sharing the photos!

How chunky is that? I bought the Gripmunk which seems pretty decent and saved the phone at least once, but it’s chunky.

But if they’re having to manually edit 700 of 1000 orders, then it’s like saying “self driving but we have someone take over every 5 minutes”. Which is extremely misleading when they say “it’s AI!!!”

Look at the polls - 49% ARE the faithful

Also for iOS, News Explorer. It uses iCloud to sync between your devices, everything is on device, and it will even somehow do Reddit feeds! (Uh, I mean, if you still do that, maybe…). One time payment. Glorious.

Weird that they’re just dumping it on the market, midweek. Not even waiting for the rumored November release announcement.

Comptrollers?

Have any recommendations?

Nope, but not bad. The free states wanted them to not count for representative purposes, since they couldn’t vote.

From Wikipedia:

Slave holding states wanted their entire population to be counted to determine the number of Representatives those states could elect and send to Congress. Free states wanted to exclude the counting of slave populations in slave states, since those slaves had no voting rights. A compromise was struck to resolve this impasse. The compromise counted three-fifths of each state’s slave population toward that state’s total population for the purpose of apportioning the House of Representatives, effectively giving the Southern states more power in the House relative to the Northern states.
