Many of my Indian friends still say they're affected by the caste system. It is legally prohibited, but it exists in practice and it prescribes social interactions, marriage, and employment in various regions and communities. This is n

I think: - Practically, we don't have microscopes to scan the brain at a resolution of every neuron and synapse quick or cheap enough. With infinite money, this might be overcome, but more on money later. - We wouldn't want to sto

For TV and film - Blu Ray has much higher bit-rates than anything streaming. The compression artifacts are practically gone. Also, second hand, Blu Rays cost less than buying the media from an online marketplace. Also, collecting and huntin

In some exceptional companies that is not the case, and there is really an effort made. But rarely in large companies.

It's interesting how the companies creating this culture often pride themselves on culture and think they're doing it right.

It’s not enough to make a tangible difference. CPR isn’t close to ideal blood flow, and resuscitation generally fails. Movies paint a picture that it almost always succeeds, but it is closer to the opposite. Then, it’s possible to argue tha

Probably almost all near-death studies are done with consent. I would give it. Resuscitation is very algorithmic and it’s unlikely that the medic doing it will be distracted by someone working in that space. The physical work is hard, the m

The article presents that engineers need human connection and empathy at work. Then says that we don't do it well, so we might as well get rid of it. At least if I read that right.

Once LLMs replace programmers, the only limit to stand-ups will be computation power. You could have 10 stand-ups and hour, 5 sprints a day. Jira tickets will flow at database speeds!

Wow. Wild that people surely know about these extortions, and they still ostracize the victims who are their acquaintances. It almost doesn’t make sense that anyone would pay attention to the deepfakes. It’s even wilder that in light of all

Yes, you would ask a friend to send you a meeting time and place. This is a non-problem to my mind.

I am always unconvinced by the argument that one can’t leave social media because their friends are on some site. No one I know does not check their SMS and email, and doesn’t pick up phone calls. I’ve not been on social media for about 5 y

Google can do a lot that no one else can. Think of user conversion rates if you require that they install an app and set up some TOTP stuff some never heard about just to access your platform.

I also want to pay for this as a future jobseeker for two reasons: one, I want a platform like this to focus on me as the client, and two, I want it to exist. But what Grimburger says is also important - employers will hate your platform if

Original research: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2309/2309.02338.pdf Baseline emissions for Starlink: 0.47 +-0.15 t CO2eq/subscriber. Worst-case: 1.04 +- 0.33 t CO2eq/subscriber.

A lot of the institutional memory is lost if the tech isn’t used. Imagine you’re a new starter at NASA on a new mission to build a new space shuttle. A lot of the people you’d ask for guidance are gone. You would need to figure a lot of it

There are two scenarios: 1. Each car costs $33k more to make than it sells for. Marginal cost > marginal revenue. Selling more cars will hurt the business. Quite dramatic, basically nothing can be done. 2. Each car costs less than it sel

Okay, I'll bite. In the early and mid 00s we had means to do all these things without notification spam. Even in the 90s, were these things problems? In which emergencies were you not able to reach loved ones or were unable to tell a t

Looking at these old videos, it is fascinating how fast we've gone from heavier than air flight to space exploration. The first heavier than air flight was in 1903. The first Moon landing was in 1969. The Shuttle videos are from early

Well, you can mitigate some of the negative effects of notifications by reducing them everywhere - on your phone, on your PC, on your watch. But a watch is a new way for them to reach you. It goes in the opposite direction to reduction. I&#

There's nothing good to be said about people scamming each other in every technological way possible. Other than that hopefully this gives us a new genre of cyberpunk where high tech and low life are achieved in a dog-eat-dog scammer-a

How can people tolerate charging a watch each night? I can't get behind this idea of having a basket of electronics you need to babysit all the time so they don't run out of battery. Especially when we already have really battery

It's ironic or a bit disingenuous that a device putting constant notifications on your wrist is advertised for stress relief. Not unique to PW2, quite common in tech, but regardless...

I’m probably going to make some Linux desktop guys mad, but the page says “Attention to detail” and then proceeds to show very many desktop window screenshots where the styles are very inconsistent. Font sizes, margins around elements, menu
