You should really step outside more and touch some grass

If it has context I appreciate them because it helps me make better informed decisions. Why not? HN isn't an editorials page exclusive for posters (except YC slop lol)

Well, this is old news. I'm still baffled by the fact that people take output of public personas as isolated facts. Take Nietzsche. Sure, great philosophical input. But try reading the sections about women. Same for Schopenhauer. Why?

> Strokes boil gently: three frames of the same sketch, micro-wobbled around a shared base, cycled by pure CSS at 1200ms. lol. I was kinda excited to use it for AI-generated wireframes but this is such a turn off.

Censorship is not alignment and vice versa. Alignment is "don't solve this problem without doing stuff that harms me, other people, breaks stuff or is otherwise unethical". I'd say alignment is the questions on how to li

sadly not. I just run circles trying to remediate it after the fact

For me it also produces totally overengineered tests that are tightly coupled to the implementation. For example testing existence of css classes (in a template based go prooject ...) instead of behaviour.

But my point is the "decolonization" bit. Fine, we work towards more accurate maps. Everbody (except the US government haha) wants that I guess. It's the identity politics part that still baffles me.

The comments overwhelmingly say: mercator isn't really in use. So what is this weird "decolonization" push then? Virtue signalling? I see it a lot from US-based people nowadays. Seems like a weird fetish as a European.

The gender move is divisive and intellectually lazy. Publishing trend -> it's men's fault. But wait, it's actually a societal trust crisis. Come one. Can we please not entertain trash like that? No proof of the connection

could we also have a macOS app?

It's a very unfortunate ligature imho because there is no distinction between f and t. Looks funky PS: the image in the background looks like a nod to David vs Goliath, love that detail

As a European: I do, because I'm not oblivious to geopolitics or digital sovereignty.

I don't think so. The Frankfurt University Hospital is used to weird shit like Ebola. There is a fuck up somewhere in here, but I don't think it's this detail. Frankfurt had airport malaria before as well.

In German it also does "Ich will dich ehrlich kennen lernen" (I want to get to know you honestly/in an honest fashion). Which is super weird because this AI is the opposite of honest. I saw a bio like that on Bumble today ...

Mastondon/the fediverse feels even worse. Super lefty, super kinky, furry etc. Super weird. Fine that people have their bubbles, but as a normal person you feel totally alienated. X became a nazi dumpsterfire.

Nothing, that take is just salty. You can easily get jobs on LinkedIn. I've employed most of the people in my teams via LinkedIn over the years.

Wtf is this shit? The page nuked my browser, then I got a jump scare from the weird sounds. What's wrong with them?

Gotcha, thanks! Funny that they didn't learn from that one

Wasn't that the same manufacturer that got caught with the moon AI stuff? Lol

Paper straws suck, yes. But there are plenty of better alternatives. And just because it doesn't solve all issues at once, doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. > Bottle caps being tied to the bottles hardly matters, it is qui

Again: I don't get it. Straws, bottle caps etc. are all reduced now. That's good. Step by step. Small litter is the worst imho

by RamblingCTO 2mo ago
This paper straw thing is the dumbest take of them all. It's about reducing plastic waste (which is equally important) and has nothing to do with climate change. I have no clue how people can repeat it, as it has no obvious relation to

honestly, if you're asking that question you don't need a garmin/coros. I'm a long distance trail runner, so I appreciate things like a cleaner heart rate (strap), hill climb alerts (length + degree), food alerts, loadin

I know what you mean. Flowery and fluffy. I don't see any clear giveaways, but it feels like it and is a bit annoying to read because the information in there isn't very dense.

by RamblingCTO 2mo ago
It's just both (or more for the casual jogger than serious ultra runner for example). If you need a proper, dedicated sports device get a coros, garmin or suunto. Apple Watch is more leaning towards day to day, while these things are f

Ouch, that's pathetic. Hm, maybe I'll leave it then. Not worth the hassle. Although I don't really think someone would hunt me for random non-prod github repos
