I’m not sure if even Apple can turn the tides. I can’t see how Apple can succeed if Meta struggle finding a market even with their much cheaper models.

Maybe they will find a market among the most diehard Apple/tech enthusiasts, but it’s probably going to end there.

Swedish gangster rap is quite big in Sweden, with loads of controversies too. The most streamed gangster rapper got kidnapped and murdered - in two separate events.

Ok then you are probably not the target audience

When was the last time you transferred data to or from your phone by cable? The USB port is mostly only for charging.

I haven’t seen any phone offered by these manufacturers that is as small as iPhone 13 mini. At best they’re just marginally smaller than iPhone 15.

There is no good alternative anymore if you’re looking for a truly small phone.

iPhone 15 is not that much bigger compared to S10e, so if you want a small phone like iPhone 13 mini you’re out of luck.

iPhone 15 is just 1 mm larger than S23

The options on Android aren’t much better, unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Apple was for a while the only remaining flagship manufacturer who actually provided mini models. Ironic, because Android is supposed to be the alternative providing more options.

That’s easily abused. Search engines before Google were pure keyword search, but those were quickly abused. People just made websites with all types of keywords just to get on top of search results. Google’s PageRank fixed this - temporarily. People were quick to abuse it too.

It doesn’t matter what you try to do. Somebody will figure out how to abuse it.

The point of the article is that whatever is replacing Google is not going to be better. It’s not Google that is broken. The entire web is.

I don’t think the algorithm is the problem. The problem is that sites started to capitalize on your attention. Everybody wants your sweet little attention so they can earn money from it. Internet also moved into walled gardens of money making machines (like Instagram, YouTube and TikTok).

It doesn’t matter which algorithm is used. Somebody will crack it and abuse it for their own good.

There’s no reversing this.

The problem with search engines isn’t the search engines themselves. The problem is that sites game the system. Everybody want to be at the top of the search results, so they do whatever it takes to get there.

You can start a brand new search engine, but if it get popular enough it will also be gamed to the point it’s useless again.

Try training a deep learning model on your GPU with some other programming language.

Wow, that’s worse than I thought. What a shitty company. Glad I made the right judgement when they went all in on cryptocurrency bullshit.

Could’ve been made a fun joke if it was delivered with a proper setup and punchline. This is just an amusing observation without any interesting delivery.

Not sure the intention of emphasizing the words “used” and “these”. Doesn’t make the comic funnier the slightest.

A tokenized security is the same thing as a tokenized jpeg. Blockchain has no control over what happens outside it.

I could create a token and say it refers to my Ferrari. Obviously I don’t own a Ferrari, but what can the blockchain do about it? To ensure the token is legitimate, some trusted authority must ensure the Ferrari really exists in the physical reality. Suddenly blockchain doesn’t “eliminate the need for accountants”.

And whenever I want to sell the token, someone must ensure I still own the Ferrari. Who knows, maybe I crashed the Ferrari somewhere in the forest?

Same goes for any asset - including carbon offsets, stocks and bonds. Blockchain is completely unable to say anything about the state of the physical reality.

We still beat the same tired old drums about NFTs because if it doesn’t work for jpegs, it doesn’t work for anything.

Monkey pictures!

Digital certificates has already existed for half a century. There’s nothing new. A certificate doesn’t get any more legitimate just because it’s recorded on a blockchain.

At this point I hope no one’s surprised about this.

You’re thinking too rationally now. The thing with NFTs is that it’s not rational at all. Try again.
