   I have an ACA plan and am going to take a giant hit when the tax subsidies end. At the same time, I wonder if it might be not such a bad thing. Yes, I and millions will suffer higher premium costs. Yes, many people will drop insurance or ta

   Yes it is silly that the school has no skin in this game.

   I have worked with several excellent, standout programmers at video game studios that had similar qualities. I'm talking in this case about ICs, not managers or leads. - Whimsical, child like attitude. "Sure, I can do that" w

   I've also noticed that fasting has a positive effect in this way. It wouldn't be too surprising for the gut to play a role in ADHD experience since it is involved in regulation of various neurotransmitters.

   I wouldn’t put it past Altman to intentionally nerf GPT5 to create a negative sentiment cascade that artificially pops the bubble, then right at the correct (for OpenAI) moment, reveals their actual generational leap. The bubble in the mean

   If you could plug into the inner thoughts of millions of people around the world at once, it would not be pleasant. Social media has turned out to basically be this.

   For 30 years Autodesk took an increasingly larger and larger share of the 3d modeling market. Over time they became complacent and users were locked in. Prices only went up. Meanwhile Blender was the most viable free oss alternative, but it

   All I want is proper color channel editing like Photoshop has and Affinity refuses to do right.

   This is sad but the US is too diverse to have a single source of public broadcasting. It was always destined to end like this.

    My take has some nuance. Nothing against making an accessible 3d app. If they call it Blender Lite or Tablet Version, great. But they gave the impression it would be Blender.

    Making a 3d app on tablet with touch is fine. Find the sweet spot and make the best thing for the interaction and the users. As long as they are honest with themselves and the users about what it is capable of, great. But it feels like some

    This is a little bit folly IMO. A mouse and keyboard provide a less fatiguing and more precise mechanism for the type of 3D that Blender can do. What I imagine they will find is that the act of "tabletizing" Blender will force it

    It’s worth asking ourselves “When was the last time I changed my mind?” It’s hard to really recall because the belief rewiring required seems to play havoc with our memory.

    I would love to see the data they have on lost Airpods. They can take this strategy of continuous improvement because they can count on users needing to re-buy lost Airpods.

    Probably because they need to burn all their investment money on compute.

    They are all overstaffed because they were financially incentivized to overstaff, both for valuation and defensive talent hoarding reasons. This was a positive feedback loop which unwound in tech and will unwind in AI too.

    I wonder how much of the problem is the massive influx of streaming platform money to occupy talented directors, writers, and other people who make films. Why risk a Hollywood release when you can get prepaid for your work?

    This would make giving them all my data so much easier for them. That is the endgame, right? OpenAI becomes the advertiser of record using the best, richest, most targeted data ever. And we gave it all to them. “Dumb Fucks” -Zuck

    As a parent, what my wife and I see is that when the kids have access to the internet, they socialize on the internet. When they don't have access to the internet, they socialize in real life. Most often it's just a question of co

    Nobody is incentivized to share bad news about the economy. Everyone has a vested interest in the stock market rising, in keeping their jobs, and a shared desire to see things go up forever. This is why there needs to be some kind of safety

    I bet it's pretty weird for a lot of people who have never been listened to, to all of a sudden be listened to. It makes sense that it would cause some bizarre feedback loops in the psyche because being listened to and affirmed is real

    It's infuriating that we're slamming the door on legal immigration because we couldn't fix illegal immigration.
