Isn't the core audience of BaB people who already have a feed reader? I know I am.

The headline here is that 28.5% of humans are immensely stupid. Maybe it’s time for our robot overlords to take over after all.

Here's my take: the bigger picture is one of "lessening humanity" - and it's death by a million paper cuts. Social media is one of the bigger cuts, but it's an awful lot of other things as well. Being on screens all

What strikes me here is the extreme noise. I mean, I’m 50+ so you know, but even so, this shit doesn’t make sense. To be living a life where you’re checking messaging groups for 100+ messages a day, needing some kind of bot to manage your (

Paid user and early adopter here - same, I think. I'm delighted with Kagi, but the thought of it riddled with ads makes me sad. My understanding is same as yours - this is an attempt at an entirely different business model - moving to

What’s mainly annoying is how this has broken HN layout. There’s some CSS for that.

We visited Florence over the summer. It was a total shitshow. I’ve never seen anything like it: hoards and hoards of people just looking at their phones / taking selfies / not engaging at all with the actual art or majesty around

Just had a session - it’s really great - family loved it. Incredibly slick, great gameplay, no latency. Ace!

This looks super fun, will try with the family when they get out of bed :-)

Terrific piece. Love her writing, recommend following her RSS.

Wow, that's interesting - maybe I'm totally naive about spotting AI generated writing but my gut feel was it is incredibly human - didn't even ponder for a second that the robots had touched it! Will have to go re-read...

This writing had an interesting effect on me. I went in knowing nothing about the app or author and frankly having no need for whatever it was he might be selling. But by the time I finished reading I was significantly amused and interested

I’ve of course got absolutely zero evidence and you’re taking this more seriously than I’d hoped people might, but I bet he didn’t. Us Brits just don’t say “math”. Or “Legos”. Of course he may have been indoctrinated by 27 years away from h

On the face of it, this seems like a terrible idea. Interesting, but terrible. I’ve spent 30 years encouraging simple, repeatable, user-focused UI’s where hierarchies are explicit, pages are referenceable, search results are real URLs and s

Intriguing. But - the first thing I want to know it "how much" and then shortly after that I want to know "can I run it myself".

No, I totally get it. If you're home schooled maybe you get out to see a few kids, go do some lessons in a forest classroom or whatever. All good. But it's still not the dynamic, varied (sometimes uncomfortable) environment of sch

Obviously there is some serious nuance here - there are of course edge cases and serious reasons for considering home schooling. But as a general principle, encouraging kids further and further out of (group) human contact seems like an obv

This could be cool but it’s hard to tell - mobile just doesn’t seem to work and I’m going to guess that’s most people’s first touchpoint with it? Will try on laptop later…

Read literally anything about brain elasticity and then come back and tell me those “just” 2—3 years are unimportant. These are key, critical years for development. Pretty much all the studies are saying it’s fucking us, and particularly ou

With all due respect, I suspect you don’t have teen kids. Almost their entire social life is organised online.

Parent of a 21 and 18 year old so I’m somewhat familiar about how to do parenting, thanks. Yes, “no” is a tool that more parents can and should reach for. But if you’ve got any experience at all of kids you’ll know it’s really not as straig
