apple is approaching the excuse “we dont know how to do it, we dont have the technology” while everyone around them laughs nervously

Can anyone explain to me why start-ups went from “never ever ever ever IPO” to “we have to race to IPO”?
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_
The race to IPO first between Anthropic, SpaceX, and OpenAI is coming down to the wire.

Its funny seeing people think this was a jab at the PSX itself and not the aesthetic becoming Frutiger Aero'd.
No PSX game on real hardware looks this bad lol

Super Mario 64 if Miyamoto LISTENED to the indie dev time travelers and used PSX.shader

Literally no one in tech right now has this charisma or would be able to pull this off.

Model S was special
I remember redesigning the entire battery pack architecture after a test failure and thinking what a long shot it was
Later, seeing my first customer car in the wild I was filled with pride pointing it out to my wife.
We made it into a game where we would spot Model S on road trips and the first to call it out would win. Later turned into a game to see who spotted the most.
At one point we started getting to double digits, we happily retired the game.
Now we've retired production
But I'll keep looking out for Model S

On this day 17 years ago, 4chan’s “Operation Porn Day” flooded YouTube with explicit videos disguised as children’s content. When the BBC reported on it, a reporter unwittingly read “I'm twelve years old and what is this?” on air, birthing an internet legend.

Has anyone yet invented an internet connected washing machine?
It would be handy to see if I remembered to turn mine on from my phone while I'm out - to operate it remotely, and see how long is left on any given wash cycle.

@dannybo75414644 @BradfemlyWalsh I'd always assumed Bristols was Bristol City. As for nodders - Low German or Middle English. Probably

Poor little Wes.
The bloke who organised the orgy - and now he's left with the job of picking up the used nodders.

@paulg Could have seen him mandate that apps no longer infinite scroll or something like that

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.

The increasing number of typos and spelling mistakes within articles in the BBC News app are a far more concerning sign of the collapse of civilisation than all the other madness going on.

Prediction: these machines will soon start to appear in the few pubs that remain

@bernhardsson Good luck getting trillions of tokens of pretraining data before the internet

It would be kinda cool if we had invented LLMs before the internet and not the other way around.

@nikitabier X the everything app. Except chat for some reason. That needs a separate app.

I find it crazy to me that the 2018 iPad Pro looks really modern now but iOS 12 is so outdated to look at

@BarneyFlames There’s a video from the early days of NeXT where Steve says the goal is to create a platform that somebody can use to create a new platform. I was like hoo boy, if only you knew
English
Cool thing about NeXT is that it was like the velvet underground of computers, it only sold like 50,000 units, but the people who bought those included the machine on which Tim Berners-Lee created the web.
Geoffrey Cain@geoffrey_cain
There is no gap. Apple pushed out Jobs in 1985. He spent twelve years at NeXT building an operating system so advanced that when Apple bought the company in 1997, NeXT's software and NeXT's people took over. Every Mac and iPhone today runs on this foundation that Steve built in exile.
