The Iran War crisis is a billionaire alignment problem wakeup call, too.

Probably, but just introducing CRDTs also feels like the wrong way to approach the problem! :)

I think something like this needs to be born out of analysis of gradations of scales of teams using version control systems. - What kind of problems do 1 person, 10 person, 100 person, 1k (etc) teams really run into with managing merge conf

Apple achieved it with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Apple then spent ~15 years un-achieving it. It started with iOS 7, and has culminated in the Liquid (Gl)ass era: a mess of unintuitive menus, terrible and inconsistent UI patterns, the lobotomit

I mean, doesn't that fall out of pricing externalities sort of naturally? What's the difference if you're told all new cars cost $500k, vs being told not to buy a new car? You can't reasonably afford it either way.

i'm sort of done with apple products for awhile. aside from apple silicon, the quality of hardware and software decisions seems to have been consistently dropping for quite some time. i regret buying the new iphone. i regret buying the

I think the intention here is to capture and spend more time respecting the negative externalities that are associated with growth.

I'm literally about to stop using the internet and go back to using cash for everything. These people can promptly (and sharply) go fuck themselves. so sick of mankind turning into a farm of the have-nots for the haves to profit off of

On iOS, there are four little white corners beneath my keyboard when im typing on HN. Because HW & SW didnt coordinate on the size of the keyboard rounding vs the new iPhone 17. Just so, so sloppy. I'm supposed to trust a multi tri

A few weeks ago I was thinking about starting https://theghostofsteve.com , where users can come and post their experiences about about Apple devices in 2026. Users would like/dislike with "its genius" or "its

genuinely would suggest you start meditating. stepping outside yourself can be profoundly impactful. seeing the feelings you are having, and just acknowledging that those feelings exist and giving them a name minimizes their importance. &qu

my concern is that, if LLMs are replaced with petri dishes, we're actually enslaving conscious beings. We don't have any really good reason to believe FinFET silicon bares consciousness--we have a really good reason to believe bra

Maybe just don't use TikTok. Shocking that adults use a platform for children.

I have a really great, really novel solution that nobody has suggested before: Just ban social media outright. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, dating apps, etc. They created this problem. They're destroying the fabric of our soci

Classic playbook. This war will last the next three years. Trump admin will leak information and let Iranian cells in US cause terrorism, giving them the excuse to install domestic mass surveillance locally. They'll use that as a means

huge if true. they also took down their security pledge in the same breath, so, you know. if anthropic ends up cutting a deal with the DoD this is obviously bullshit.

I feel like the synthesizer--CMI Fairlight, Moog anything, Synclavier, PPG Wave, and just the general concept of modular synthesis--are pretty staunch competitors. Yours is certainly a fun and fair take, and arguably the electric guitar+tub
