I built an MVP of this [1] with images (not video) and in more of an Instagram style (not tiktok) back in ‘22, with the tagline ‘What if social media were literally fake?’ I am bullish on this, albeit with major concerns in many domains. It

In the US I like labdoor.com and examine.com and ewg.org but they’re not nearly what I’d like them to be. EDIT: to clarify, of the three only labdoor does independent testing

Yeah my rule when considering taking on a freelance project is ‘do I want to become an expert in this, and do I thus want my phone to ring for this for the next 2 years?’

“What are a few thousand destroyed homes” … I would have asked how many tens of thousands of animals probably died as a result of this.

I have a workbench from GI. It’s built like a tank and looks good, with a Boos Brothers solid maple top. YMMV but when I told them a big part of it came bent in shipping, they DGAF. That was not a good experience.

I found that for a period of time Claude was almost excessively negative when reviewing its own work. It was only after some contemplation that I realized that it was the phrasing of my code review slash command that framed the review with

I wish this was a viable solution. Linked page says, effectively ‘you’re on your own’. My municipality has two events coming up - August and late October, both calendar events say ‘no electronics’. I really don’t get how this is supposed to

I have a recalled Anker battery sitting on my stoop, lest it burn my house down. Who on earth (NE USA ideally) will accept this for safe disposal / recycling? Normal battery recycling places don’t want a recalled battery, natch. Seriou

I think optical illusions are a poor choice to illustrate this point. They are manifestations of the corner cases, peculiarities, and side effects of our visual processing system and neither cameras nor Lidar are without their own analogous

Stumbled across the new voice this afternoon after months of not using voice mode and after being impressed by the naturalness, was also let down by the disinterested tone. That combined with the platitudes and tendency to repeat back to me

I envision this system as an evolving, fluid mapping of things to hashes, and hashes (or hash-space locations) to meaning, all controlled by users, institutions, experts, and authorities. So if you were to radically change appearance, it’d

With the acknowledgment that it’s a controversial opinion, I think the most important ‘domain’ tied to our identity is our appearance, most importantly our face. I’ve been advocating for a time that we need to think about a ‘DNS’ that, in d

Ironically (and perhaps proving the author’s point), when reading I couldn’t help feeling like this was at least AI-assisted writing, if not prasted directly.

I agree with this. And it doesn’t help that the President uses it like one would usually use ‘furthermore’ when he’s vamping one more element to a list.

I don’t remember where I read it but I heard David Lynch recounting a conversation with his doctor in which he asked if being prescribed antidepressants could interfere with his creativity. The doctor said he couldn’t rule it out, so Lynch
