They&#8217;ve been doing that most of my life now in tech, and I don&#8217;t see them stopping. However, the first few generation gains are the most dramatic, and once we&#8217;re in the tenth or later iteration, the gains are so minimal that the marketing teams can&#8217;t even see them, let alone describe them.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">?WEF 2024 &#8211; WSJ: \u201cWE OWNED THE NEWS\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emma Tucker, WSJ, EiC: \u201cWe were the gatekeepers.

There is no doubt that as the suppliers of <a href=\"https:\/\/public.digital\/2024\/01\/12\/avoiding-another-horizon\">flawed technology<\/a>, Fujitsu have a case to answer. During my time in government, it was made clear to me that they and the Post Office would be following the same playbook they always had, regardless of how often that had been shown up as inadequate. They had no interest in embracing the new ways of working GDS was advocating for. -and- no more \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/6b1f9cf2-8ab7-483e-8570-febc08f8f1e3\">big IT failures<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cstuff\u201d that is CES are all the products and technologies that influence everything that gets built. Stuff that looks silly today might very well vanish, but even if it does it will <a href=\"https:\/\/hardcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com\/p\/213-ces-2024-builders-makers-risk\">influence the stuff that shows up and transforms the world<\/a>. There was an incredible timeline of CES on the wall from LVCC to the Westgate hotel illustrating \u201cstuff\u201d from every year of CES (it was too difficult to photograph). Likewise, the IEEE (yes that one) had an exhibit of long but forgotten gadgets from decades past, even voting on which one should be erased from our memories. In reality as silly as some of these look today, such as the laser disc player or cable TV tuners, each were just part of \u201cgadgets and stuff\u201d that came in past years. If you ever want to wind me up, then say there was nothing transformative at CES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altogether, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesswrong.com\/posts\/oA23zoEjPnzqfHiCt\/there-is-way-too-much-serendipity\">illustrates<\/a> the fact that it\u2019s not common for our sweet receptors to get activated by small calorieless molecules, and chemists must have eaten a lot of weird things to find the synthetic sweeteners we currently use. This is when things get out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026and so on! The remaining bytes yourself are for you to practice on. You can stop when you&#8217;ve read the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/qr.blinry.org\/\">characters<\/a> indicated by the length field previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the second time Boeing <a href=\"https:\/\/leehamnews.com\/2024\/01\/23\/pontifications-boeing-turns-to-us-navy-admiral-for-second-time-in-max-crises\/#more-43723\">turned to an admiral <\/a>in connection with 737 MAX crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/danwang.co\/2023-letter\/\">middle class<\/a>, however, is feeling less sure these days, as the economy keeps getting whacked. The trouble with Xi Jinping is that he is 60 percent correct on all the problems he sees, while his government\u2019s brute force solutions reliably worsen things. Are housing developers taking on too much debt? Yes, but driving many of them to default and triggering a collapse in the confidence of homebuyers hasn\u2019t improved matters. Does big tech have too much power? Fine, but taking the scalps of entrepreneurs and stomping out their businesses isn\u2019t boosting confidence. Does the government need to rein in official corruption? Definitely, but terrorizing the bureaucracy has also made the policymaking apparatus more paralyzed and risk averse. It\u2019s starting to feel like the only thing scarier than China\u2019s problems are Beijing\u2019s solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other times, you might want to ask <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/search\/google-circle-to-search-android\/\">more complex questions<\/a> about what you see. Let\u2019s say you&#8217;re browsing social media and come across an image of a delicious corn dog with some unique toppings. You\u2019ve been seeing a lot of these online and are curious to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boeing inspector recorded in CMES that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/business\/boeing-aerospace\/boeing-not-spirit-mis-installed-piece-that-blew-off-alaska-max-9-jet\/\">repair was not done properly<\/a>, that the Spirit team \u201cjust painted over the defects.\u201d As a result, the repair job was reopened. Looking at it anew, the Spirit mechanics then discovered that, in addition to the problematic rivets, the pressure seal sandwiched between the plug and the airframe was damaged and needed replaced. \u201cThe big deal with this seal,\u201d the whistleblower wrote, was that the replacement part was not on hand in Renton and needed to be ordered, which could threaten to delay the jet\u2019s delivery schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To think about Apple\u2019s commercial, one really has think about the context of the start of the year 1984. The <a href=\"https:\/\/hardcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com\/p\/214-hello-happy-anniversary-macintosh\">Orwellian<\/a> dialog was omnipresent. Of course as freshman in college we had just finished our obligatory compare\/contrast the dystopian messages in <em>Animal Farm, Brave New World,<\/em> and <em>1984<\/em> not to mention the Cold War as front and center dialog at every turn.
