<p>I worry about the safety element of this. I'm not sure that having people walking around completely oblivious to their environments is a good thing.<p>In a multiple of ways: you become disconnected from nature and closed off to environments, and you also reduce safety because you don't know what is going on around you (high % of population live in cities).<p>Not a uniquely Apple problem though, I suppose.</p>

<p>Pulling together lots of solar data trying to promote solar panel installation in the UK.<p>We've had three back to back heatwaves so far this summer in the UK. THREE!<p>Hopefully it inspires people to make an informed decision to get the best price and starts generating more questions and leads for solar companies.<p><a href="https://solarable.org" rel="nofollow">https://solarable.org</a></p>

<p>Cool concept, but lots of processing to get to that point still.<p>Feel like we need to talk standards and expectations again for the internet at large to build up trust networks - not on every request.<p>Efficiency seems so far away from engineering standards now. Odd how we got here.<p>GATCHA would be a better name but I digress</p>

<p>Sometimes to move fast - we have to go slow.<p>That's a mantra I learned when getting into technology.<p>Asking questions about how things work, why it is a certain way, or why a shortcut was made often give you far better insights than anything else.<p>Slowing down and understandng is great. With AI this is even easier. But choose wisely, brains get full.</p>
