It's easy to frame the bridge as "progress," but it risks bulldozing over the kind of slow, sensory-rich travel that people are increasingly craving again

Basically looks like a test of handling imperfect conditions — feels closer to real work than a coding olympiad And Istanbul of course, not bad — a chance to travel a bit too

Problems from engineers based on real challenges are more applied — less number theory, more modeling and data work, sounds interesting overall
244.

Yeah, it's hard not to be cynical when the tools they keep pushing for always seem ripe for political abuse rather than legitimate threats

And I think that's not how rule of law is supposed to work in a democracy
246.

The justification is, of course, “national security,” but as always, the scope is vague enough to be stretched into whatever shape the government finds convenient... Sorry... yet this kind of legislation should send a chill down anyone’s sp

This highlights just how little we really know, even with decades of fossil, genetic, and behavioral data. What's always struck me is how intelligence might not have been a linear "goal," but more like a byproduct of other tr

Always worth asking how much these reconstructions reflect reality vs the assumptions built into the models

There's definitely a cottage industry forming around "AI safety compliance"
250.

In a way, it assumes the training has already happened and focuses on what comes after

The devil will be in enforcement, definitions, and how often those thresholds are updated
252.

It’s love with nowhere to go

I think when the author says "we medicalize grief because we fear it," she's not arguing that clinicians are eager to diagnose grief, but that society at large wants a clean, manageable container for something inherently mess
254.
by KurSix 1y ago
The way the author captures grief (not as a pathology, but as a form of learning, unlearning, and continuing to love) is so raw and honest it almost feels invasive to read. The line "grief is a terrible kind of learning" hit me li

iPhones were like gold on the black market

I think it's possible to advocate for device ownership and repair rights without having malicious intent
257.
by KurSix 1y ago
A properly gated, user-authorized override in recoveryOS or similar would give advanced users and third-party repair shops a legitimate path without blowing up the security model

It feels like Apple's implementation leans more toward vendor lock-in than purely user protection
259.

Stuff like this makes Right to Repair not just a consumer issue

Breaking up monopolies is politically radioactive
261.
by KurSix 1y ago
Yeah, it really reads like the court was afraid of "breaking" Google in the middle of the AI hype cycle
262.
by KurSix 1y ago
That's less "end of monopoly" and more "play nice with the wording."

Funny how the same surface structure can be either neutral or judgment-loaded depending on the verb
264.
by KurSix 1y ago
Over time, people probably stopped needing to say the "and see if you can" part because the meaning was already baked in
265.
by KurSix 1y ago
Funny how the grammar write-ups treat it as basically synonymous with "try to," but the lived nuance can be totally different depending on where you grew up.

Feels like one of those constructions you don't notice until someone points it out, and then you start hearing it everywhere
267.

The syntactic quirks make it feel like a weird halfway point between coordination and some fossilized idiom
268.

The most galling part is how the industry manages to manufacture worker consent through PR spin and management plants in hearings
269.

Yeah, it's kind of mind-blowing how much the space game has shifted from international diplomacy to private enterprise with a launch schedule
270.
by KurSix 1y ago
Pretty wild to think that over a third of all the satellites orbiting Earth belong to one private company. Space used to feel like the domain of governments and sci-fi
