There are a lot of people in their wrong minds, and the industries market to them, intentionally or not. I have been one of them for a time although I somehow resist AI companionship. Companies aren't going to learn the stories of ever

You'd be lucky then, the result of myself going off chasing red herring diagnoses was the entire medical establishment and outer society leaving me behind for decades. I wish I had chanced upon people like you when I had hope. If I&#x2

So after the honeymoon with Bluesky ends, what will be the next friendlier social media platform? And after that one? Will this just keep repeating?

It's less a challenge and more that there are people who are consumers/creators on TikTok and can limit their usage to under an hour a day without needing to use time restrictions. The question is what aspect of their personality&

It's not like TikTok has a 100% chance of hypnotizing you into a zombie that can only spend its waking hours thinking about dancing people and positive vibes. Only a very high chance, depending on how anxious/bored you are, amplif

I wonder if this will be high level enough an incident to make companies end those opt-out contact autosuggestions in messenger apps for good. Then again if they had been ended by now, we might never have heard of this SNAFU.

I'm talking more about not bringing up politics to avoid giving too much information to people who will make up their own conclusions based on those facts and aren't amenable to change. And choosing not to bring up politics for th

But I guess for prioritizing the happiness of the friend group, some amount of ignorance is needed if someone in the group is ultimately going to model the world on "they kill and deport or they don't" given enough informat

It is now possible for people to value "doing the dishes" over "producing art of a high enough quality" and still get results. If people care more about doing the dishes than spending the hours required to make an equiva

There were some AI training exceptions passed in Japan if I recall correctly, but with the copyright culture in Japan lacking anything resembling fair use, there was pretty much zero chance something like Stable Diffusion could have been bu

More like "AI art in the style of ____" will be tainted by association. I can almost hear the complaints to the editor to every boutique indie blog post and company listicle with AI filler at the top. For me at least it cheapens t

Even keeping corporal punishment on the table without engaging in it can encourage the mentality of needing to "strike down" children who defy orders. If not physically, then metaphorically. Source: personal experience. I was only

Doesn't even have to be physical, an insidious form of punishment can be for example locking someone in a closet for hours a week which is interpreted as "timeout". And doesn't get counted as physical abuse. Then authori

The people who lived through those times in the trenches tend to pass down their stress to their children if it's not adequately addressed first. Then they get told that because they have it better than their parents, their stress is i

Parenting and upbringing could be an important and overlooked reason for this lost generation. I can only speak anecdotally. Way before smartphones were invented, I had enforced limits on computer time to 1-2 hours a day via time tracking s

You're right in that there's nothing stopping one from doing so (I even use an integer scaler for old games on my main computer), it's just a tradeoff between "doing what's possible" and "having the most

I feel like this quote exists to be used as an excuse for parents to deploy whatever arbitrary discipline is necessary to make their tyrant children get in line and comply. I mean the way it's worded just makes you want to strike back

> The ratio of internships to qualified students is far better than 1:1200. To be fair, for a person with several years of industry experience it feels like the ratio of applicants to openings for tech jobs really is some absurdly hi

I like themes like this. The only thing that hampers the authenticity for me, and this isn't the fault of the author really, is the super high resolution fonts compared to what was available back then. There's just something charm

I think there is a more interesting point made by the essay than "digital echoes," which are pretty abstract in comparison to day-to-day distractions that tangibly reduces time. It's that there's a notion of a device tha

I guess the reality is, what we term "shameful, amoral, slimy and vapid LinkedIn spammers" are actually thousands of relatively like-minded people all saying some variation of "please let me get/keep a job or I won'

Sometimes I wish these plotting libraries were more portable beyond Python only. I was looking for something similar for Ruby just a while ago but the install instructions seemed out of date and unsupported on Windows.

I just looked this up. I feel like this should have been obvious to me before but Trump has a contact form and Obama has an official email address. Though they probably go through like 12 layers of indirection first.

Didn't realize they open sourced Renegade too. I used to play that game all the time. I thought the merging of FPS and RTS mechanics was pretty unique even if it wasn't perfect in execution. I think there was even a fan remake in
