Part of this is because the device has to connect to cellphone towers where the radio equipment is on its own lifecycle path and eventually replaced.

Eventually the feature set of a device is too outdated for the carrier's network to syooort it.

Developer time is limited and so there is little to no value using that time to support very old hardware that would be WiFi only.

Humans suck as remembering history?

Hookworms isn't why stores require shoes. It's because of hippies. Laws typically require employees to wear shoes and even then it depends on the workplace.

In my experience they never get it. It is fun to make fun of them. Once they reveal themselves, they become very predictable and even when called out as to how they will respond, they do it anyway like an npc.

Despite what everyone around you is saying it's not absolutely necessary to drive. People manage this in all areas across America.

Don't drive again until you're ready. That may be a few weeks, it could be a decade, possibly never again.

That's my point. The term walled garden predates it being applied to Apple and now that it has, it's become synonymous with anything Apple does is a walled garden and we ignoring other instances of walled gardens because they don't meet all the criteria of Apple's.

The original term for technology walled garden was more confining than what Apple does. The term would be more useful if it remained as technology that restricts the user's agency.

The Tower of Hanoi is a classic game with three pegs and multiple discs, in which you need to move all the discs on the left peg to the right peg, never stacking a larger disc on top of a smaller one. With practice, though, a bright (and patient) seven-year-old can do it.

What Apple found was that leading generative models could barely do seven discs, getting less than 80% accuracy, and pretty much can’t get scenarios with eight discs correct at all.

It's funny because I created a scheme program to do this as a college course assignemnt many years ago.

It was the first of many increasingly complex assignments in an AI course. This was first because it has very basic logic requirements.

It's a statement against attempting to please toxic people.

So because there isn't immediate visible change, they aren't effective?

The need for immediate gratification works to the favor of the authoritarian.

I wouldn't expect anything less from that dumpster fire of an instance.

Capitalism is just another word for hoarding. The fact that it allows to have what you need is a side affect that capitalist would rather fix; it's a leak.

Is it time to post the home addresses of police yet?

 

The Trump administration denied Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request for individual and public assistance following an outbreak of severe storms and tornadoes that also affected neighboring Mississippi and Missouri and left more than 40 people dead.

The denial follows executive orders signed by Trump seeking to shift the burden of disaster response and recovery from the federal government onto states, as extreme weather becomes increasingly destructive and costly in a warming world.

The denial of the request, dated April 11, said the Trump administration had “determined that the damage from this event was not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the state, affected local governments, and voluntary agencies. Accordingly, we have determined that supplemental federal assistance is not necessary.”

64% of the state voted for Trump.

Hope their bootstraps survived the carnage.
