This is a fun parody but just in case you’re being earnest - that’s completely missing the point. Similar to saying “if you want more of $RPG just open a spreadsheet and slowly make arbitrary numbers go up”.

The bullies with most guns and biggest economies have been in charge since the Enlightenment? Huh?

If you’re making sweeping statements like that, why the arbitrary distinction at 300 years? What happened then? Why not say “since the dawn of humanity”?

It’s crazy how easy to spot the “LLM voice” is Main tells: - validates the prompter (“the gameplay is indeed…”, “you’re right that…”) - restates clauses from the prompt (“fluid, biological-themed game”) - likes to say things authoritatively

There's lots of similar examples in other creative fields - artists who have one piece of work that does tremendously well, but everything else they make is only noticed by their more dedicated fans. My interpretation is that it's

No one's preventing you from hiring just people you get along with/personally like when you're a tiny company. When you start becoming a big tech company whose products have the power to bend entire societies though, that&#x2

I find it interesting that the author felt it necessary to print out the thousands of bug reports so they could quickly and efficiently sort through them. That implies they felt like they wouldn't have been able to do the work nearly a

Rams’ principles were perhaps noteworthy when he first vocalized them as the state of design discourse was much more primitive back then (not even sure of that actually), but today they ring quite simplistic and hollow, and kind of useless

We lost the plot when interface design became UI/UX (and all the associated modern variants on this terminology). The goal of an interface is clear: it is how a human interacts with a machine. Buttons, dials, latches, sliders - those a

Bahaha oh man this brings back memories. I worked for a startup where the CEO spent weeks working on determining our NPS and talking our ears off about it. At the end of the process, he was so happy - our NPS was higher than Apple! I didn’t

Well, I’m not surprised they’re surprised. The two main factors in image quality are optics (which has been a solved problem for a long time), and imaging surface area. Even what is considered “full frame” today is ridiculously small from a

Well, of course - the only film cameras anyone cares about today are the top 0.01% of camera models ever produced. No one cares to collect/use the cheap crummy ones, of which there were plenty :)

Apple reshuffles internal programs and product roadmaps all the time. Just because a program with an internal codename gets terminated doesn't mean there aren't a bunch of other initiatives in related spaces going on. And the work

Yes, it’s interesting how different cultures have such different ways of telling stories (although sometimes that gets a bit muddied with the massive cross pollination between global media). I once encountered this diagram comparing cultura

The nice thing about corporations is that they have to be able to make payroll at the end of every month, otherwise they go bankrupt relatively quickly. Things can get much uglier and be much more protracted for governments.

Yes, and those crappy sensors will still be 200 megapixels (which will be used as an advertising point), as most people don’t realize that a fantastic 24 MP camera is better than a crummy 200 MP one.
