There are a lot of links out to different parts of the web on this site. I try to mark them all so they get listed here.
🔗 The Motley Fool asks: Where Will Apple Stock Be in 5 Years? – Asymco
NB: The Motley Fraud is not a reliable source of anything but bad stock picking advice…
🔗 Asymco Bulletin 006 – Mar 28, 2026
In Apple’s first 50 years it shipped 5.13 billion computers. This shipment total is higher than any other computer company in its first 50 years. There actually are no other PC makers that are 50 years old.
🔗 Long odds and unseen differences - Seth
Buy the best story you can afford, with all the benefits it comes with. But don’t be confused by the odds or tiny differences. They’re probably zero.
… always like JP’s posts - even the cricket ones. (This is not about cricket.)
🔗 John Battelle’s Search Blog Product, Platform, Interface, Medium, Language: What Is AI?
Regardless, as I struggle to find a handle by which to pick up the concept of AI, there’s something about “language” that feels appropriate. Maybe AI is, in fact, equivalent to a new language, one we’re just learning to speak. That certainly rings true to me.
If you follow me you will know that I don’t always listen to Lenny - but a big fan of his - and when he has a great guest … 🤯 .. 🔗🎙️ Simon Willison is one such great guest.
Yes .. I did watch it .. a while back .. unmemorable .. but know that you now don’t have to. Nor should you.
➕
★★★★★ So Good - A personal favourite
★★★★☆ Excellent - well worth a watch
★★★☆☆ Enjoyed - recommend
★★☆☆☆ Not Bad - BUT - only a 'kinda' recommendation - with (many?) caveats
★☆☆☆☆ Not for me
🔗 What could POSSIBLY go wrong❓
Some of the banks have agreed to spend tens of millions on the chatbot, and they have already started integrating Grok into their I.T. systems, three of the people said.
A clean security model with nothing to secure is an easy sell, but let’s see how this actually plays out when there are 10, 20, 100 plugins in their marketplace. The real test will come when complex platform-like extensions like Elementor, Yoast, and more are created. Will the capability model be able to handle them? This is unknown at this time.
🔗 You Only Think They Work For You
Steve is talking PR Agencies. Not wrong. But they aren’t the only sinners. I am looking at you ‘Recruiters’.
Key rule: ‘who’s paying them /// now and in the future.
🔗 Rebuilding My Micro Blog - a little over 4 Years ago apparently.
Maybe it is time to do it again❓
Then again - pretty much in the mode of finally fixing 🖇️ PHI⑊PIN - and one thing at a time … except …
NO
ONE. THING. AT. TIME.
Funny, 🔗 I have a guestbook (thankyou Pika) which I forget about .. so much so that when I recently rejigged my site navigation, it was no where to be found.
🔗 Tread carefully, because you tread on my fucks.
On any given day, I have roughly 5 or so fucks to give.
When you breakit down - that’s a lot.
🔗 Mapped: Each State’s Share of Total U.S. Exports
I guess ‘software’ and ‘services’ are not included in ‘exports’?
🔗 Revamping Post Stats - Amit Gawande
@amit - thank you for reminding me and thank you for doing it.
Although the insights are a little scary ….
I have always struggled to describe myself. Not sure how others see me versus how I see myself. This is not the first time I have had to confront this question. As a child and as a young man, I dealt with this same challenge.
I have the same problem. Hell I can write pages and get nowhere close to the right summary - and Jax just nails it when she introduces me. Then again - I am better and introducing her than she is introducing herself.
🔗 We know that Macs last longer in use. How much longer? – Asymco
But the really shocking revelation from the report is that more than half of Windows PCs used in big business get replaced within a year.
For most of my life of living in the Mac world - I have never worked out why Total Cost of Ownership is rarely used as a metric to make decisions around ‘which computer should I buy’.
🔗 Scripting News: Friday, April 3, 2026
Feature request for WordPress. If an item doesn’t have a title, you can do better than (no title) in the Posts list. Grab the first N chars of the body, or add a tool tip with the same text. I write a lot of “singular” posts, ie posts without titles.
Don’t we all❓It has been like this - forever - and oft’ flagged by others - and yet it remains never fixed. No idea why🤷🏻♂️. I (ok. Claude) fixed my importer that had this problem in less than a minute.
