Then again "regulatory accessibility" has little to do with usability. You can have an 11 step process which works with a screen reader and is still hell.

This is a strange viewpoint, do you care to elaborate? I mean, for ancient Egypt, understanding the writing has its origin in a very clear, well understood event and a very specific researcher's career (Rosetta Stone and Champollion),

This is also my impression "how could they not" but it goes a bit further: Can we predict it? Can we estimate the size of a system that will achieve X? Can we build systems that are pre-disposed to emergent behaviors? Can we build

Vibe coding started yesterday, so did Cursor. What Cline? Perhaps it's a little early to declare winners.

Nobody has yet even heard of vibe coding. It only happened yesterday. Education and programmability. Schools have been chipping (extremely slowly, FAR too slowly) at the power of programmability of things. But where are we now? Few people p

Would love to hear more! We rarely hear stories of people "stuck" on the making/ creative side. Exciting yes - but rarely addictive in the sense of taking so much time that the rest suffers?

Consumption is addictive - even or all the more so when we feel we are consuming worthwhile stuff (see the various major reading projects here). A useful first step is awareness of the time spent on the various time sinks: we have limited t

We decide (interpret) based on the information we get. Those are the breaks. Of course we may be wrong. We may be wrong either way. The question might be what can we do to get a better signal. And everyone here would love suggestions.

Cost is only one dimension of renting a car. As long as the car rental companies keep making it as painful as possible, it won't be a solution for usual usage. Hopefully Waymo goes after them too.

Calling out narcissism is a good point. I feel though that this is ascribing a reason or motive to the person. Which maybe we need, maybe we don't. There is how it makes you feel "feeling that you don't care about me" an

Why did anyone there keep asking them questions? There were others at the table. There might have been two problems at that table. But sure, lack of awareness can waste everybody's time.

An aspect of this is "why are we here?". This conversation needs to be useful for that. Doesn't need and shouldn't be "rudely useful", but still, let's try and make some progress. This is true even if your
