I say it’s a straw man because it’s a caricature that is easy to knock down. The point of my comment was that I would be surprised to find out that even 20% of people think this, much less a majority.

The details / summary thing absolutely kills me. There’s basically nothing you can’t do with them. Hiding and replacing markers is easy. But every component library just pretends they don’t exist. It even saves you the effort of all

I signed up and started a VM. Didn’t really expect the default chat interface at boot. I’m currently on my iPad and would probably have bookmarked it for later, but now I’m playing with it. Cool idea :) Edit: it comes out of the box with s

> Any “alignment” that exists is alignment with the owner’s interests, constrained only by market forces and regulation. That struck me as a pretty big hand-wave. Market forces are a huge constraint on alignment. Markets have responded (

I appreciate this and many of the other perspectives I’m encountering in the replies. I agree with you that the current outcry is probably positive, so I’m a little disappointed in how I framed my earlier comment. It was more contrarian tha

I searched for “Melania” and the first 16 results did not have any indication of why they matched. Many were blank pages. Does the result for this query look right to you? I was pretty confused.

That’s interesting. Why do you think this is worth taking more seriously than Musks repeated projections for Mars colonies over the last decade? We were supposed to have one several times over by this point.

I truly don’t understand this tendency among tech workers. We were contributing to natural resource destruction in exchange for salary and GDP growth before GenAI, and we’re doing the same after. The idea that this has somehow 10x’d resourc

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee stuck with me more than anything else I read this year. It is a work of simple beauty. It’s a story of several generations of poor Korean women who eventually immigrate to Japan. The front half of the book is wonderf

I enjoyed Translation State so much. It thought that Leckie got lost in the depths of Octavia Butler’s extra weird shit (and Xenogensis) and cross bred it with the political novel style of the Ancillary trilogy, and the result was chefs ki

I’m not sure a study of chronic gamblers generalizes to long-term working class employees of this facility. I have no idea what lessons can be learned from the NFL case, but I suspect none at all.

I feel like McLuhan is so thoroughly accepted as gospel now that it’s refreshing to see someone casually dismiss the idea out of hand like OC. I would love to see a serious exploration of the argument against McLuhan in 2025, just for fun.

The gripe about tailwind is valid, but I couldn’t figure out how Perron does this better. From a cursory look, I didn’t see anything about CSS in the docs. I could have missed it though.
