With sadness and deep appreciation I must report the passing of Vernor Vinge, a titan in the literature that explores a limitless range of potential destinies, Vernor gave millions vivid tales of plausible tomorrows. My tribute to him can be found here: davidbrin.blogspot.com/2024/03/vernor…

@Pontifex I have proposal for peace deal. You give Vatican to Russia and in exchange they leave Ukraine! How do you like this option?

Honestly Twitter/X can be a huge filter bubble. Google is up 60% in the last year same as Microsoft (Apple 23%, S&P 28%, NASDAQ 0%) growing in line with expectations. Sure Gemini is tuned dumb but it’ll be fixed & useful just like search is. Which is the actual business

. @onbeeper Have you had any reports of issues with incoming Telegram messages? I stopped receiving messages some time on the 10th. Have updated, still not fixed.

I assume it has occured to #Google that #smartglasses with cameras, mics would be a killer interface for #Gemini. I also assume it occurs to them that integrated, human POV, contextualized #multimodal data from such hardware would be highly useful for training an android version.

Hey @AmericanAir , perhaps you have another X account for such inquiries, but can you tell me why one can't add their AAdvantage co-branded @Citi cards to @Google Wallet? Works for Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, but not Google. Citi says it's on y'all. This is weird in 2023, pls fix

This really needs to result in the death of @GoDaddy -- so as to send a message to the rest of that industry about priorities. Stop using #GoDaddy and tell your friends and business associates to do the same: arstechnica.com/information-te…

Bitchin. A Ryzen™ 9 6900HX, *64GB* RAM and a 1TB SSD for under $1,000. Doesn't look like there's any weird hardware that would cause any issues with a #Linux installation. @Hi_MINISFORUM store.minisforum.com/products/minis…

Unless @Google is fine with "never, ever click on sponsored Google search results!" becoming standard security advice that everyone's grandpa & grandma knows, they had best change their lackadaisical attitude about this issue: #phishing #Google #Malware pcgamer.com/i-will-never-c…
