There are lots of great theaters where I lived (Austin, TX) that are well maintained and have great food and drink. My problem is other people. People can’t make it more than about 15 minutes before they check their phone and start scrollin

Most of the time I wish games had an option to auto-skip everything that’s skippable (and just about everything that isn’t gameplay should be skippable). I usually start a game intending to fully immerse myself in it, but the story part of

The browser is one thing, but even native applications have worse input latency than they did in the 80's and 90's. https://danluu.com/input-lag/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25290118

When the government takes your property with eminent domain, they don't give you what you've put into it or what you owe, they give you the market value for the property. If one or more of the AI companies fail, the government wou

Things that are too big to fail can end up being nationalized when they do fail. That might not be a bad outcome. I could see US-built AI being a national security concern.

That's really cool. Music is funny. I played the closed hi-hat sound ( https://synthrecipes.org/#closed-hi-hat ) a couple of times and my brain instantly started playing AC/DC's, Back in Black. I probably haven

Apple likes to own the core components of the stuff they sell. How surprising would it be for Apple to buy Intel's factories and hire away some of TSMC's top scientists and engineers?

Well, there are de jure standards (what the w3c says a browser should do) and de facto standards (what Chrome does).

A social network can be great. Social media — usually not. Something like Instagram where you have to meet with the other party in person to follow each other and a hard limit on the number of people you follow or follow you (say, 150 each)

This is something that I've been trying to improve at. I work on a Windows application and so I get crash dumps that I open with WinDbg and then I usually start looking for exceptions. Is this something an LLM could help with? What exa

They probably would. If the Saturn is older than 25 years, it can be registered as a classic car. The fact that it's highly modified with new parts doesn't really matter. It's what people in the hot rod scene have been doing

I wouldn’t call it leaking when it’s done by design and is something any developer of multiple apps can do. For example I wouldn’t say Linux is leaking data every time an application uses fopen.

I don't think it's something special that Google is doing. I suspect they are just using the built-in App Groups functionality. Basically, it's a way for different apps from the same developer to share information via a dat

Would it be incorrect to say the universe was a single point at one time? That's been my layman's understanding - the universe at the start was infinitesimally small (a point) and has been expanding since.
