I guess I get it, but also the person just answered the question. I'm commenting because I get self-conscious of over sharing. Being asked a direct question and answering it, should be good shouldn't it?

Agree, it's unnecessarily limiting to say the well is entirely dried up re: improving status quo tools. Charitable pov though, i'd say it's about leverage. Learning outcomes globally suffer steep steep cliffs and it's in

You may not be wrong that tactics aren't sufficiently widespread, but that's the thing they're just tactics. Spaced-repetition is a good example. It's so objectively better than other forms of memorization, but it's

ignorance is not a defense. It's true, unknown calls are 99% spam. That's on you if you'd want to believe otherwise; by your own admission, you don't know. Yes, important companies you do business with you will come to s

It's because native programming language will defacto allow you to hack it to its natural limit. A tendency most all programmers have given they even get into programming. For example with any iterator/loop you may want to filter,

fwiw i've never experienced the drawback of separate languages for server and client. nor did i ever experience the benefit of single language across server and client. being forced to use javascript on the server sounds like a cruel j

it's not about feigning html purity it's the opposite. Why pretend we're using HTML when it's not? so with react it becomes a js flavor, jsx, which some people hate but it's very clear that it's a made up langu

I think you've nailed it. It does come down to user preference. React _is_ a whole new way of thinking. Back in the days of jQuery it was very painful to stitch together web experience across HTML+CSS+JS. jquery provided much needed DX

+1 React DX is really great. It started really great and it got weird and bloated but it's still really great relative to the JS landscape hell. But, also yes, it's a pain in the ass and a frustrating kind of necessary evil. So th

That's why I was compelled to post. We forget that this is how the Internet is for large portions of the population. It's bananas. My dad still uses yahoo for all of his news. I've realized it's not uncommon to hear peop

ooh you're right, reader mode is great for this article. thanks It doesn't always work though, I assume the major publishers are employing some counter-measures. Also generally javascript heavy websites.

Yep, I've found blocking at at the dns level more convenient since I'd otherwise have to install script blockers per web-browser. I'm very happy with nextdns I wanted to add that every time I use the internet without a blocke

I'm going to read this article because the image is cool and I love California. But I had to comment on how obnoxious this website is with my NextDNS mistakingly disabled. What have we done to the Internet! 3 popups to sign up for paid

I think, because there are a lot of articles? edit: I didn't bother to meaningfully read the titles, but another comment points out how conspiratorial they are.

Private group chats are the new social networks. It's apples and oranges but I think for people that really don't want to be "on social media" the alternative is to keep engagement with close friends on a group-by-group

You're not being charitable with the take. seems like you just switched "objective truth" with your flavor: "error rate" what is an error? how does the llm "know"? wikipedia example is good. i'd say i

Call me aged out. As per the comments, I guess I get it. It's sarcastic. Apathetic. Annoyed. Jaded. Always. That's fun for a hot 2 seconds.

How come it's so hard for people to drink water? Honest question. Like why don't you just wake up in the morning, take a whiz, brush your teeth, and drink a glass of water? What gets in between? Because the first two are 99% succe

The point of life is to struggle. I don't even mean that to be deep. And I don't wish misery on anyone. I'm saying entropy is a mess. That's what it is.

Yep, not disputing the data. Seems we agree: the premise is people go to college with the expectation of higher earning power. The product is earning power, less so "learning", but we don't have to argue semantics. Now the mo

I do agree there's money in discretionary learning. Music, dance, knitting, sports, you name it. In the scheme of things it seems niche. I don't intend to diminish the value of humans learning things. My call out is when we think

Gateway/access to professional-tier job market. This is what they sell, but it's outdated since the 50s and millennials+ have slowly realized it was largely false promises. (both sides are to blame just to be clear)

Education tends toward public good will if the mission is to educate and improve learning outcomes. I've been told there's tons of money in education! But the insight is the edtech stuff that makes money does not sell education. B

as useless as you say the visualization is, so is property comparison because what does "$1B worth of real estate" even mean? Raw materials + labor + debt financing + geographical point-in-time land value? It'd be easier to i

angular was dead on arrival - to me - because it seems nuts to bolt on full programming language constructs into html attributes. In the same way React easily won because it chose the exact opposite: put the UI constructs inside the full pr

Those are good examples. A trusted chef's website can list purely the recipe because it's held within a pre-vetted context. I do this as well. I'm advocating for the need for those kinds of trust signals. If AI literally just
