Just as an aside, you can put as much effort as you want in, there is no guarantee.

My identity was stolen to take out large student loans when I was 3 years old. I learned of it when I was graduated and was trying to take out loans of my own - it was a mess.

I certainly didn't do anything risky as a baby to result in my identity being stolen but it happened anyway.


Great episode, but infuriating at the same time


YMMV for sure - I was on an SNRI (Cymbalta) for a few months as an attempt to eliminate nerve pain. It all but destroyed my ability to climax both during and for maybe 6 months after getting off of it.

The brain zaps were also hell if I was even like an hour later than usual to take it


Cats collars here, as an insurance measure if they were ever to sneak outside. They're also handy to locate them around the house for various reasons.


I would assume the inaccuracy is due to the various phones that pick up the airtag pings GPS being jammed, reporting AirTags nowhere near where they actually are.


Makes sense. Would be pretty cool if Apple could find a way to correct GPS jamming using accelerometers and some logic. If your GPS location jump 50 kilometers in 2 minutes, ignore GPS and use cell tower + accelerometer. Maybe create some sort of mesh network, using other phones and nearby SSIDs to get a makeshift location positioning.

That does come with the risk of Tim Cook falling out of a window.


Most current phones already use these techniques (and more) just simply to account for poor signals, which have long been an issue with GPS because signal strength and SNR are inherently very low.


Personally I’m not very keen on owning a vehicle the manufacturer can completely brick at will


So liberty then. I don't disagree with you, but this modern flashpoint in the classic debate between individual liberty and collective safety does bring up the question what is saving 50,000+ lives annually actually worth in terms of loss of personal freedoms? I am personally struggling with this debate having lost loved ones in this manner.


Remote bricking of cars does not save 50,000 lives.


That is not the argument being made. We are discussing how "dumb" vehicles (e.g. vehicles that contribute to 50,000+ fatalities annually) provide independence, privacy and freedom that "smart" vehicles (e.g. vehicles with self-driving that can be bricked at will) do not ensure.


Also you are conflating thing the poster may not have intended. I’ve not heard anyone complain about collision avoidance systems, antilock brakes etc. But spying packages, and touchscreen dash, hell no.


> I’ve not heard anyone complain about collision avoidance systems, antilock brakes etc

I hear people on this site complain about these things all the time.


I’m sure it’s happened in the history of the world, but otherwise approaching zero.


That actually is exactly the argument. GP posted about liberty concerns, he was met with claims of saving 50,000 lives.


You may have had filters on your lines or just really poor quality connections/cables. I’ve been using MoCA in my home to bring internet up from my basement to the second floor for a few years and it’s been flawless. Consistent 1gbps, no drops, 1-2ms extra latency compared to Ethernet wired devices.


what do you mean by filters? how can I check this?


Clearly I don't have an MBA because this mindset doesn't make sense to me. Burning money unnecessarily is burning money unnecessarily, no matter where it's burned.


40mbps for video of an LLM typing text didn't immediately fire off alarm bells in anyone's head that their approach was horribly wrong? That's an insane amount of bandwidth for what they're trying to do.


And they for some reason need a 60fps stream to...watch a computer type. No one stopped for a second and asked "maybe we don't know anything about the problem domain". They seem to have given a vague description to an LLM and assumed it knew what it was talking about.


If all you know is vibe coding and the llm didn’t tell you 40mbs is too much how would you know?


I'm afraid to see just how poorly we can utilize computing resources in the future due to cluelessness.


That is where LLM shine. It lets you know who is a fraud.

40mbps to stream a terminal? Are you kidding me?


Crowdstrike Falcon is likely the only reason my work M1 Pro machine runs like a dog. Any time it's being a laggy piece of junk you can open Activity Monitor and see Falcon just slamming it.
