Having seen some spreadsheets in my time, I can imagine what the training data is like.

I think people underestimate how similar to us people were a few thousand years ago. We build places like Glastonbury and Burning Man all the time and it doesn’t really mean much beyond looking kind of cool. Stonehenge might just be somethi

IKEA is fine when you’re just starting out, but after years, you realize that it’s got a shelf life. Good furniture really is better. You can get great stuff for very reasonable prices on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace, and it’s much m

Whatever about specifically founding tech companies to generate a pipeline for SF VCs, universities should be in the business of preparing people to live their lives with agency. You don’t need to raise VC money to live your life, but if yo

I admit it’s a while since I’ve used windows, but it’s such a shock to hear that MS Paint isn’t just a point and click pixel coloring app anymore. It seems like they could have left it as a pure “paint” app and added the fancy stuff to some

Apparently (I’m relying on facts from Claude here), aviation uses about 100 billion gallons of oil a year and coconuts yield about 250 gal/acre, so assuming you can approximately replace them 1:1, you would need to plant about 400 mill

Do coconuts grow particularly efficiently? Edit: The US created biofuel subsidies a few years ago and it’s led to poor use of land with questionable climate impact. It’s effectively become a wealth transfer to support poor rural American co

I wish Kagi had existed years ago. I just saw someone talking about the Google SEO-laden experience when troubleshooting coding errors and realized it’s a pain I haven’t felt in a long time. It’s telling that Google never made a “remove thi

Maybe happy smart people know better than to spend all their time taking IQ tests and participating in psychological studies?

That’s about it. You’re paying for roads and education and war with your retirement savings. There’s not really anyone else there to pick up the bill. There’d better be some kind of return on that investment so you can actually retire. Prin

Not just the wealthy people on top. All the administrators and suppliers, and all the machinery of pharmaceuticals and insurance brokerage, even HR benefits specialists in corporations are all tied to the current system. That’s a massive bl

It usually holds many times its solid weight in water. If you add load to it by building something on it (without designing around the ground conditions) it can compress to a fraction of its volume, resulting in ground settlements that can

Isn’t that actually illegal under GDPR? There’s a reason all the other sites allow you to opt out and it’s not because they want to do that.

What is Europe’s space industry like? Is it either too small to build this stuff, or is it too big to pivot out of what they’re already doing? Edit: or are they all “policy experts” writing white papers about what sombody else should be doi

People keep saying it’s the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe, and don’t give them the tools! This is such an obvious one. I should be able to lock down a laptop for a child, and then have the browser limit websites to those th

Pre-social media is probably the watermark. That’s what sucked all the content out of the web and into walled-garden platforms.

Totally agree with this. I don't understand how those organizations aren't "bucket shops" which have basically been illegal in the states since the 1920s. As bad as they are, at least it's really hard to move the st
