It's not a 'cure' for me either but it does allow me to do quick short tasks on the phone if necessary and then I can get back to focusing on the horizon.

This. Obviously, it doesn't help you read but if you're bad enough that just being in a car makes you sick it helps a lot. When I was younger any car sick kids got to sit up front and there were a couple of adults who had to be th

I don't understand how anyone bothers with these things. Other than timers in the kitchen (where hands might be greasy) I've always found it faster to just pull out my phone and Google it. P.S. I hope that dehydration/headach

Know a few companies that have moved from it fully to Claude. It’s still early so the moving cost is low and Claude Cowork is something non-tech employees can make use of much easier than Cursor. I really don’t see what Curor’s value is lon

I had no idea you could still get it. This brings back memories! My first and favourite game as a kid. I'd get home from school, boot up the DOS machine and type 'keen.exe' to start it up.

Keeping building models and tools. Sending out missionaries to speed along the process of job displacement is an unnecessary side quest.

The reason a two state solution seems unworkable is because the people who were there, and had their land systematically taken from them, are considered to be the ones that have to compromise. The world panders to the colonisers, who despit

Steve Jobs? The guy who was adopted by working class parents, a hippy, with a Syrian immigrant father? I think he might view the world slightly differently than the guys born into wealth, who went to Ivy League schools, and who all seemingl

It clearly hasn’t resulted in better educated children so doesn’t seem like a big loss. We have good free education with everything provided already. The idea that YouTube is required is silly.

I wonder if this will lead to services improving moderation to get themselves unbanned? They’ve been moaning for years that they do their best when we know they don’t. Maybe YouTube will get much stricter on content in the hope they can get

Have they said you’ll need to provide ID? My guess would be they do it through other mechanisms like age estimation. I know X is already doing this for posts labelled mature. If they do estimation through account age most people are probabl

Curious how this effects those weird family vloggers. It would be great if the ban also includes filming your children for your own content or building profiles you manage on their behalf.

I think YouTube is one of the more critical ones to ban. Yes it has educational content but it’s also full of absolute brain rot. I’ve seen a lot of “but how will people study for exams” arguments - the answer is the same way they always ha

I'm sure many countries have learnt lessons from the NPT and would have the good sense to not agree to the same thing again. We've seen time and time again if you have nukes you can do what you want to the countries without them.

If we do start seeing these models get kept behind closed doors how long until someone leaks one? Other the obvious consequences for the individual is it actually possible for a rogue employee to 'leak' Fable in a way that anyone

The idea that the government introduced export controls on it because they "fell for the marketing" is stupid. It's much more likely they're being vindictive. There's plenty of evidence that that's how the curr

The dynamic range of the format isn't the issue though, it's the mastering. CD mastering largely pushed volume at the expense of dynamic range (part of the reason we see endless remasters these days). Vinyl doesn't automatica

Thanks for the book tip. It sounds like a similar theory to that in the doc "Tim's Vermeer".

His embrace of new technology was interesting, in particular the fact he's been doing a lot of work on an iPad since 2010. You can see many of them here[1]. I went to an exhibition[2] of these a few years ago and was pleasantly surpris

I don't think that's a millennial thing. If you think back to the whole 'hipster' era, yes peer approval was a big part of it but so was local/artisan/unique stuff. Franchises were the things that were complete
