  • That’s fair. I would like to see the current model in Silicon Valley come to end so teams are allowed to iterate and polish and there’s room for genuine innovation rather than chasing numbers. Even this release of Android 16 was only put out to appease shareholders before the release of the Pixel 10 rather than to ship anything.



  • I’m not saying I want it now, I’m just saying there’s room to evolve. The idea that operating systems are mature and so aren’t exciting is what I’m taking umbrage with. It’s just when you have a small minded conservative at the helm that chases trends and stockholder dividends, innovation is suppressed.


















  • These people don’t want to save the world. They just want to look like heroes

    I agree. But it doesn’t mean these people can’t do good things and this system seems a good thing to me. Is it perfect? No, as you said

    this kind of system seems limited to small cash crops rather than staple foods.

    So that’s a problem. But it’s a step in the right direction.

    Dyson has personally done far more to harm British food security than this gadget could offset. He was an ardent Brexiteer, which resulted in substantial barriers to importing food from our closest neighbors.

    He is absolutely and unequivocally a wanker. But if he’s done something good here, it will mean alternatives will become available and that’s a win for everyone.
