Really appreciate work like this, thank you. My wife is the creator in the relationship, making a variety of apparel and decorative things for the home. She takes a huge amount of inspiration in her designs from Midcentury stuff like this,

I was in the middle of typing the same question. This is the part that worries me about Generative AI; far too many people seem to have forgotten that its prone to confabulation and telling the user what they want to hear.

When the punishment for the crime is a fine, it's just a subscription service that allows the wealthy to break rules, trust and expectations. But, let's push that fine up to $40 billion US (with a b) and see what happens. If we ne

If you did this at work, relax; it just means you've finally "made it" in your career!

I'm not here to defend generative AI (in fact, I'd say do not use it unless you already know the language/framework well enough to clean up the output) but we have got to stop arguing from a place that assumes humans don&#x27

I'd like to see what a "full-spectrum crackdown" on anti-intellectualism in the US would look like, given that most of its population struggles to discern fact from fiction in the news cycle, healthcare and legal proceedings.

I'm not the person you replied to, but I am in their shoes. I'm tired, too. Trust me, I used to champion your sentiment, keep fighting/keep moving and all that jazz, but...at my age, this War of Attrition that is the fight

Agreed. The store are unnecessary and sold under the guise of "protecting" the user, when it's really about controlling user use, keeping them ignorant and spying on them. Google does not care if your data is leaked by an app

Interesting reads, thank you. You're right in that the complexity of the information matters when it comes to how it can be communicated, although I also think of the bit, as in the smallest unit of information, and how we have accompl

I wonder if part of the nuance here is understanding what language and communication are, respectively. I am definitely not in my own lame here, but at first glance of Great Ape Language Wikipedia article and some comments, it seems like th

More ! should get your point across. It takes some pretty impressive mental gymastics to rationalize holding people today accountable for something that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, as though the people today were somehow re

Your replies indicate that you are not able to have this discussion as you are too steeped in your field of study, which I assume you consider to be objectively correct. I respect the time and effort you've put into it, but Philosophy,

I think you might be conflating "experience" and "interpret." If we can all measure reality and come up with the same values, we are experiencing the same one. How we interpret that is another question. Keep in mind the

I would be on board with this if the system was not touching the outside world, but it does every time you hook a smartphone to it or if you have an optional data network. Just like with our smartphones, there's nothing stopping a car

Did not know about this, thanks for pointing it out. It is not precisely what I had in mind, but appealing none the less. The phone I had in mind is akin to Motorola's RAZR Ultra. As opposed to opening like a book the way Samsung'

Could you imagine living in a world where webdevs actually knew how to accommodate different viewports? Peace on Earth, guaranteed.

I openly admit that I probably lack the vision others have about these devices with flexible screens, so I find this type of display functionality useless and prone to failure. I'm not the target audience, I guess. I cannot possibly im

I'm loving the idea of calling something a "load of cope," especially these days, haha. Thanks for that!

Spoken like a true middle manager. Attention is not the resource, but the act of spending the actual resource; time. Time is your most precious resource. Everyone wants more, but there is no way to get more. Nobody knows when their supp

I don't even think it's been about asking good questions, at least not for many years. I used SO regularly and even when I wasn't asking a question at all, it was an incredible slog to just find a concise and correct answer i

You are not wrong, but I pose the argument that too many people approach Gen AI as a replacement instead of a tool, and therein lies the root of the problem. When I use Claude for code, for example, I am not asking it to write my code. I&#x

He was brilliant, but he was not a predator, which is always part of the problem. We know names like Gates and Jobs because they stepped on the shoulders of others and ate anyone who stood in their way alive. History remembers the victors.
