Would you prefer EZ pass lanes to disappear and everything be manual toll workers? I can say for sure the Golden Gate Bridge moves a lot faster now.

But what will it be replaced with? HDPE? If it’s plastic based, it seems that instead of lead we’ll get microplastics and other plasticizers. Neither are good. At least with lead is that if the pH is correctly maintained than I believe the

Without making it easy for people to get started, it’s unclear what scale would have been achieved during critical days when things were growing. No one could have predicted back then what the web would become, nor the need for full app dev

It seems you agree, except previously you said “Likewise, you can't just run a iOS app on macOS. You need to recompile your app with Mac Catalyst for it to work. Even then, it's a bit jank.” That’s not true, you can just run an i

There is a delayed onset to the drug working. The more work you have to do the less likely you’ll have ingested a lot by the time you feel it. Edibles are a great example - countless stories of people doing too much because of the delay and

You can run iOS apps directly on M1 Macs. Some developers flip a bit to disable this, but there any many that don’t.

What is it about the iPad you want with macOS? It has one port (which is largely used for power), no built in keyboard, an incompatible input device (touch) by default, and often smaller screens. What’s the appeal?

No free lunch, unfortunately. I’d love to see with regulation limits on THC %, outlaw vapes, outlaw concentrates, get these issues out into the public via education campaigns, etc.

I don’t think it’s misleading. SV isn’t the sum of Meta, YouTube, and TikTok (which isn’t even SV despite some roles here) - even if those companies impacts are outsized. The article explicits calls out things like AI; Anthropic and OpenAI

“But they ended up exactly the same. Helping the worst regimes, all-in in military complex, taking advantage of screen addiction and teen insecurities.” This implies all. I then said I don’t doubt their impact. They’re not all like this is

In terms of numbers, there aren’t that many SV companies that exploit kids via insecurities and screen addiction. But I don’t doubt their impact.

Go look at where that KBJ quote (missing context and then being misinterpreted) is making the rounds: it’s from a very specific news bubble. That’s why I said “apparently in agreement with her conservative peers.” Both of those quotes were

Your link to KBJ is missing a ton of context that is extremely reasonable and apparently in agreement with her conservative peers: https://reason.com/2024/03/19/hamstringing-the-government-a-... Even the NY p

Seems like a dumb idea for Broadcom; they’re going to keep loosing customers to proxmox and others. Why such a hike?

Those are very selective things you picked. E100–E199: Food coloring, such as turmeric (E100) and paprika (E160c) E200–E299: Preservatives, such as sulfur dioxide (E220) E300–E399: Antioxidants and acidity regulators, such as ascorbic acid

A set of weights siting on your hard disk don’t evolve to get smarter on their own. AGI does however require the ability to learn new skills in new domains; if you kept exposing it I don’t see why it wouldn’t be similar. But fundamental cap

Europe puts plenty of E numbers in their food (the US just spells it out versus hiding it under a number). There are things illegal in the US that are used in food in Europe. A lot of the time, at least for things like pesticides, the diffe

Let’s say you got AGI, and it approximated a not so bright impulsive 12 year old boy. That would be an insane technological leap, but hardly one you’d want running the show. AGI doesn’t mean smarter than the best humans.

There’s literally non stop article and studies on misinformation of every category. The evidence is beyond abundant. I’m not suggesting TikTok themselves is trying to do this, but it (and twitter, instagram, facebook, etc etc) is shaping pe

I very much look forward to owning a car with the Waymo stack. Hope this comes sooner than later! Just don’t want it to be a Hyundai, but this feature would cause me to overlook everything else about the car.

Ok the entire top of the field then. I’d love to see the evidence that the top of the field of economists are working to make rich people richer. The original comment cited trickle down economics (which really means supply-side economics),

Finding someone who will back a specific claim in a given lawsuit is hardly suggestive of an entire field of social scientists bent on making rich people richer.

Except what economists are against the FTC? Usually it’s companies suing them, or vice versa. Maybe like 1 guy at the Heritage Foundation or something?
