I disagree: in as much as I have noticed this *far* more with AI than any other advancement / fad (depending on your opinion) than anything else before. This also tracks with every app and website injecting AI into every one of your in

Do we know if this counts for Prime? Though tbh the writing has been on the wall for awhile. It's really frustrating, because it otherwise just gets out of your way, which is why I like it. I guess I have to dedicate an afternoon to fi

Sorry I think I worded it badly. The OP is not the you, I mean the propaganda is. As in, a large part of the propaganda is the idea that people should have opinions about this kind of thing, as opposed to accepting the idea that there are p

How does the climate crisis fold into that, or do you not think that's a problem, or do you think it's a problem with no ramifications?

Ironically, the pub it suggested near me that was the most fucked closed down years ago (it's not just them, quite a few databases don't know that), so yeah, good call.

I don't think with any confidence we can say it will be for the better. Or at least, not on balance for the better.

To be clear you believe that you do a year's worth of work in one week? Every week? So halfway through this year you will have done 25 years of work?

Yes, it is not fair. The entire gambling industry is unfair and exploitative.

Late to this, but my interpretation of the parent's point was eg: LLMs still often produce bad code, despite "reading" every book about programming ever written. Simplistically, they aren't taking the knowledge from thos

More power to you obviously. But I have mixed feelings about this. There is so much information that curation is inevitable. Sure. But I don't want that curation to be "fun". I don't _want_ tiktok in my life, or really a

LLMs can't lie: they aren't alive. The text they produce contains lies, constantly, at almost every interaction.

I've only read the abstract, but there is also plenty of evidence to suggest that people trust the output of LLMs more than other forms of media (or that they should). Partially because it feels like it comes from a place of authority,

I really like it, but for the cost of a cup of coffee you could try it for a month as well. I highly suggest you just do that: commit to spending a month using it, and if you don't like it at the end cancel. Maybe it won't work fo

Don't be intentionally daft. Skiing and sports aren't notably addictive, and don't notably cause harm in society.

You are taking a forklift to the gym. The goal isn't actually to move the weights from one place to another. The goal is the process.

Of those apps you've listed that I've used, none of them have been notable for being high quality to me, though as you say it's difficult to measure. For me I would rate them somewhere between unremarkable (notes, calendar, c

I don't think it's the modern Apple, I think that's just Apple. I remember using iTunes when fixing the name of an album was a modal blocking function that had to write to each and every MP3, one by one, in the slowest write

I'm interested, both as a Fastmail customer, and a software developer: what does this let you do that a PWA doesn't? Perhaps not become the default email client? Is there anything else?

I am guessing this works for you because more people reading = more people talking = more readers discovering and potential sales? It would be interesting to see at what point of notoriety that is no longer true. Like is this still a factor

There are plenty of ebook stores if you google around, that have a standard range and use Adobe DRM, so off the bat wouldn't work on a kindle. In theory you can remove that DRM using Calibre, but I haven't tried. Other than that,

A lot of it is just that it's at the local maximum of popularity and relative user inexperience, so it's the juiciest target. But also, npm was very much (like js you could argue) vibed into existence in many ways, eg with the ide

No, not surgery. Surgery wasn't gotten to by way of working really hard on a magic trick. I'm also reasonably sure surgery is not at a point where you can cut someone entirely in half and put them back together. Since you brought

Thanks for this post. Can I just say I really miss when tech news was dominated by "here is a cool font we designed", and not "here is our new upgraded torment nexus".
