<p>Am I the only one who feels Boston completely missed their chance and fell behind by being slow on selling robot dogs?<p>Chinese companies were quick to jump in and fill that unfulfilled demand. I work with robots and have never seen a Boston machine irl. Tonnes of Chinese though</p>

<p>I personally know other people who have filed similar complaints, and the Norwegian Datatilsynet explicitly stated they acted based on many complaints. I don't think they care about a single person's voice in this, even if they "helped create the law".<p>It's a shame, but it probably says more about Datatilsynet's capacity. Frankly it would be great if you could simply say "this company did something dodgy", provide proof, and immediately get results. But that's not the world we live in.</p>

<p>Part of the problem is that even if you did a good job it doesn't really matter because the rest of the industry isn't, so no user wants to give you a chance</p>

<p>This should be obvious but why would you trust what the spade seller says about being an AI-native startup.<p>Even if you believe AI-native startup is the future (the comments are divided), you would at least want to hear from an impartial source.<p>This is just marketing material.</p>

<p>I just don't see the average consumer ever needing more than 10gbit. In fact, I can tell you right away most consumers wouldn't notice if they were running 500mbit vs 1gbit.<p>4G has been enough for a decade, 5G was mostly just an infrastructure and capacity improvement and most consumers could never tell you they notice a difference between the two. The human eye can only see so much resolution, we don't need 8k video. I don't think consumers will need more than what they already have. At least until some new novel media format that gulps down bandwidth comes around.<p>This isn't necessarily all bad news. There is still a push for higher bandwidth for datacenters etc, which will keep pushing technology forward, hopefully making consumer and ISP grade equipment cheaper.<p>If I built a house I'd probably run ethernet. Maybe play around with a 10gbe core network. But it wouldn't really give me any benefit, it's not like disks are that fast anyways.</p>

<p>Working with k8s myself I'm somewhere in between you and the article on opinion. I think k8s is good when you can afford to hire a person dedicated to managing it (or at least find someone with experience in running it that can make it part of their MO)<p>That is, k8s is probably best considered when you are beginning to consider having an infrastructure department, or if one of your early hires knows Kubernetes and is opinionated in a way that is less "throw cool and complex stuff at the wall"* and more "the 5 things I want in a k8s cluster that I don't want to spend much time on and should just work"<p>My understanding of the 2000s and 2010s was that there was a big focus on inventing self service deployment systems for developers, and k8s is that solution(!), for the same scale that would begin considering re-inventing the wheel internally anyways</p>

<p>I found it very ironic that this article, which in practice is trying to solicit customers, is both talking about a fundamental weakness of LLM while also trying to sell AI consultation.

<p>I totally believe you that people inside have asked. I think part of the problem is that the people actually making the decisions higher up do not care and aren't really invested in these issues.<p>To the point that some guy vibecoding for a bit and deciding it was fun had more effect on the company's ability to open up an abandoned product than an entire consumer movement that has been lurking in the zeitgeist for ages.</p>

<p>as other has said, it is sad that it took that a CTO had fun to open it up, and not the rest of the public discourse about things like this.<p>I'm happy he had fun and all for him making decisions based on it. But it shouldn't have taken this.</p>

<p>I feel like this is reducing the problem to a simpler one. Of course you'd expert larger product decisions to be made by a technical leader. The problem here is that devices being locked down is something being fought against, repairability is a big topic for discussion, and some companies even try to play into it pretty hard, like Framework and seemingly Valve.<p>Yet, to this Meta CTO, this wasn't really a concern until he vibecoded something and decided everyone should be able to have this fun. It say's something about his (and probably other people in his position) awareness of public opinion and discussion.</p>

<p>It is sad that it takes a Meta developer having some fun to realize they should open up ADB.<p>This isn't the repairability and reuseability of old devices mindset people have been begging for. This is some guy using internal privileges to having some fun, and deciding the rest of us should get a piece of the fun as well.<p>This is a "happy story" in the same way it is a "happy story" when some kid successfully fundraises a classmate's cancer treatment because the healthcare system neglects them.</p>

<p>Meta are making the glasses something you could be punched for wearing.<p>I live in a big city and I love it because i feel anonymous - nobody cares who I am. It's a stark contrast to where I grew up, where if you were out in public with someone unusual you could hear about it at school the next day.<p>I think the age of anonymity in public is getting to a close. First government mass surveillance and now private mass surveillance (which will surely be funneled into government surveillance over time)</p>
