Something I've tracked since I was a teenager, still not slowing down much. The hairy smoking golf ball is finding its form:

The degree and nature of censorship in China is nicely demonstrated in this video, but the reason I'm sharing is the 4th of July tribute at the end. If you don't watch the whole video, be sure to scroll to 38:40 for the song, and especially the lyrics. It's a different perspective on America:

I still love Cringely's concepts and writing, either way.

I have been wondering about this topic regarding Tesla's Full Self-Driving. Did Elon add this as a safety feature before Cringely developed the method? Or at about the same time? FSD seems to work better than typical AI "When it's time to railroad...": https://t.co/V9ISWuj8w5

I will never know most of what I gno.

Half of the things we care about are physical. The rest are imaginary, but typically, the most important. But they are things that often reflect physical relationships - trust, love, and threats.
