I’d rather have a car that drives better than a typical cabby or uber driver.

Waymo has arguably been there for a while now. I’ll Uber outside of their coverage area, and take the autonomous car with in it. Every other Uber driver in my area is making late lane choices, tailgating, cutting people off, talking to me about how the world works, etc. The Waymos don’t do any of that shit.

Having experienced FSD, I can honestly say, Waymo’s LiDAR system is way better. It doesn’t do this terrifying shit.

All is bit of a stretch. Oakland’s budget is in rough shape right now. They’re doing a few roads here and there, and they usually start with some low cost experimentation in areas with plastic cones and paint to test first.

The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

It hasn’t launched yet

Nah, Kevin Rose reacquired Digg in March.

In July 2018, Delivery Hero acquired a minority non-controlling stake in Glovo and progressively increased this stake through subsequent investments. In July 2022, Delivery Hero acquired sole control of Glovo

Well, there’s your problem

Isaiah is not a smart man.

Looks like this is an opt-in, supplemental crop mode, for streamers who have stuff that would work well for vertical orientations. Talking head stuff, live solo-artist music, etc.

The existing content experience is still there, but if you’re standing on the subway, and you’re watching a streamer react to a press release about a game, you can turn your phone and watch them babble in landscape while you hold the poll.

This is something an LLM can do really well, really easily, with little engineering effort.

The cat is out of the bag. Most of us have a bunch of unstructured comment data that is peppered with references to local weather, policies, sports, etc. Determining what city or what district you live in is, sadly, not hard in this day and age.

This only requires a quick integration and some promo engineering. Assume people are already doing it.

There is another major reason to do it. Businesses are often in multi year contracts with call center solutions, and a lot of call center solutions have technical integrations with a business’ internal tooling.

Swapping out a solution requires time and effort for a lot of businesses. If you’re selling a business on an entirely new vendor, you have to have a sales team hunting for businesses that are at a contract renewal period, you have to lure them with professional services to help with implementation, etc.

Or just use it like OG ITunes and don’t pay for cloud hosting.

You can still use the music app just like iTunes. You don’t need a subscription.

Apple technically lets you play music directly from iCloud via the Files app, but its functionality is not designed for music listening. It lacks essential features such as playlist management, metadata sorting, or playback queues. While it supports music playback, it’s very limited and overall not a good user experience.

I’m confused. Shouldn’t you be using the music app for all this stuff? That’s what I do.
