I mean. I can't remember last time I used cash. Not in the last 5 years that is for sure. Once I paid someone with Venmo as that was the only way they could take it. Other than that time, I don't remember using cash at all. In SF the two only moments I can recall needing cash for is either some old self-service laundromats or funnily, chinatown where most of it is still cash. In fact recently a bunch of locations I go to often have become cashless. So you wouldn't be able to pay cash even if you wanted to. Business that are cash only do it for one reason, and one reason only, and we all know what that reason is. Slowly but steadily the volume of retail consumer cashflow is turning to digital. Cash is not going away today. Many seniors don't want / know how to use digital payments. Trends show we are moving toward all-digital. Probably 10 years from now +95% of retail will be cash-less.
it is. There's a third-party app that can add 1 virtual monitor, for a total of 2, but FWIG it's not terribly stable (and 2 is still like 5 fewer than I want).
I don't want an AI browser and don't understand the attractiveness of it. Like. What does it add that a normal browser + chatgpt extension doesn't? It is a gimmick to boost usage and token count and fake growth I think. This is the reason I dont trust Altman. He is all about fake growth.
Would be interesting if it made things cheaper to buy through group buying power, and even a crypto balance upon install. Google don't have their own currency... yet.
Mistral needs a looooooot of GPUs. GPUs are made by Nvidia. Nvidia asks TSMC to make more. TSMC needs new lines to produce. TSMC acquires more machines to make new lines. TSMC buys from the only monopoly that has those machines. ASML. Now ASML happy, each machine costs 100s of millions, ASML makes back money.
its a low level protocol like WiFi on top of which Smart Home protocols, like Matter, run. It allows for IoT devices to be managed, registered and configured completely local with a hub (any iPad, HomePod and so on) and requires no servers. It is private by design and more secure in some ways, as no one but your hub can control the device. Currently a lot of IoT devices rely on a server that registers and controls them, and is in the hands of a random company you need to trust.
