I have a theory of this based mostly in time working in Meta's RL org on VR and Wearables (disclosure).... There's a fundamental comms issue, I think, where you can only broadly communicate the least common denominator of what eve

A related thing that took me a while to accept when I started woodworking is that wood moves, a lot. If you built the bookshelf in wood, it will be expanding, contracting and shifting over time with temperature and humidity variation throug

Principal-SWE-Bench will take some time to run, because the LLM needs to wait for a crisis to present its solution, having correctly identified that the same solution would have been organizationally impossible to propose until that moment.

Hmmm maybe I'll try this, since I have a newer Frame (which I'd love to get rid of). I don't like that anything would have to go through their services, but it would be fun to try!

Agreed! Usually this came up because someone wanted to add a popup, but call it a modal to sneak past the bad connotation. When really they shouldn't have been doing either and they knew that; just laundering a UX they knew was crappy.

Mostly through Steve Bannon as far as I'm aware, yes. Though apparently there were connections through moot, and later Peter Thiel adjacency as well. https://www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how-epstein-broke-the-...

There is already typically enough information to contact people's family, employers, or (as was popular / horrific for a moment) send SWAT to your house. Real names and contact info don't stop people, and worse, they expose e

A lot of Facebook is people with their real names posting vitriolic bile in full view of their entire real life family and friends. I don't think Real Name policies are the solve. It still doesn't matter when you interact with 1,0

Right? The 2000-2010s saw a massive rejection of popups. Blockers became common. Best practices emerged that avoided them like the plague. I recall hand-wringing on the difference between popups and modals in our webdev shop. Now popups are

This is documented even. Steve Bannon is directly quoted talking about leveraging gamergate as a new way to flood the zone, and as a conversion pipeline for young men to the alt right and maga politics. https://www.cnn.com/2

New Spotlight is impressively unusable. It seems to have taken lessons (derogatory) from the Windows 10+11 Start Menu search.

This was exactly the case on a King County jury I was on. Lots of camera footage, most from security cams of individual businesses, some from red light cameras. The event predated Flock rollout though, so no idea if the distribution of came

This would be my dream tv. I like the matte look of the Frame a lot (I have one), but it's not at all worth the being subjected to the terrible Samsung software experience

Hmm generally I want the smart tv to have as few features as possible, ideally never ever even show me their "home / launcher". Kinda on the opposite recommendation that the fw it shipped with had to meet SOME minimally funct

The problem is Boston Dynamics makes actual robots, which are much more limited than robots constructed from pure hype.
