It's extremely rare that I come across products with a prop 65 warning. And in the rare chance you do see it, like on a bowl, you might learn that some bowl paints and glazes actually have lead in them! Second, information is not meant

I don’t think specialization is a bad thing but the friends I know that only know their subject seem to… how do I put this… struggle at life and everything a lot more. And even at work, the coworkers that don’t have a lot of general knowled

Are you adjusting an 8-bit JPG (probably) or a 12-bit JPG (rare)? Try adjusting a 8-bit RAW file and you will have the same problem. You are conflating format and bitrate.

Everything you said is supported by regular image formats. You can adjust white balance of any photo and you think image formats are only limited to 16-bit and sRGB? That’s not why we use RAW. It’s partly because (1) if you used Adobe RGB o

Software engineers tend to downplay artists, designers, marketing and product. Frankly everyone downplays someone else based on their social circle. The only people who don’t have wide social circles but most people don’t.

Going 10mph over the speed limit on a highway, especially because you’re a little late, isn’t a big deal. Going 5mph UNDER in a neighborhood with kids playing around on the street is too fast.

Some types of people are “rule followers” are can’t fathom breaking any rules. There are also “rule breakers” who can’t fathom being told what to do. Both types of people are insufferable.

Selling on benchmarks is like selling users a blender by telling them the efficiency % of the motor. No regular person cares.

You can’t trust public statements for reasoning. One retailer I liked blamed “shifting consumer demand for their demise but they also doubled their store count by like 100 within two years. Consumer demand did shift but they also legitimate

Tell me about it. I even got a monitor color calibration probe and it was not cheap. My next step was going to buy a new monitor too but then I was like… F it I’ll just buy a Mac and call it a day.

I was a diehard PC person but getting colors to display right and consistently on Apple hardware is much easier… so I admitted defeat. p.s. I’m the guy that will point out that one of your white lightbulbs has a slight greener tint over you

Em dashes don’t convey much meaning or clarity for me. Rather, seeing too short of a dash is like putting two clashing colors together or wearing two pieces of clothes that don’t match. It just looks instantly off. It’s just not aesthetical

I think it’s more word of mouth because many professions use the Internet and could surely make use of site preferences. To be honest, I’ve only heard of Kagi on HN and nowhere in any of my friend groups.

From my experience it’s only because many times the original copy is gone. Without Pinterest, you wouldn’t even find it anymore.

I like Pinterest a lot. I find art, tattoo ideas, home decor, concrete/wood builds, clothing fits, wedding themes… It’s like a one-stop-shop when you need some fresh ideas on design.

I am neither bullish or bearish. LLM is a tool. It's a hammer -- sometimes it works well. It summarizes the user reviews on a site... cool, not perfect, but useful. And like every tool, it is useless for 90% of life's situations.

You don't need a shortcut on Word. You just type two hyphens (--) and Word will convert it to an em dash.

On iPhone, type two hyphens to make an em dash: -- into — If OP wrote their post on an iPhone, they would have inadvertently appeared as an LLM by their own test.

I travel and drive in a lot of new places and even the novelty of novelty wears off. At some point you’ll see a car careen into the side of the curb across three lanes due to slick and you’ll be like ehhh I’ll just cut through with this rou

If you look at it holistically, I might get boxed cereal from the grocery store that’s bagged in a cheap, microbe-blocking, shelf-stable and lightweight plastic bag in a cardboard box. I could also go to a bulk goods store instead and fill

Personally I think “…but we executed the plan…” is unreasonable at any level, at any job, at any task, and any point in anyone’s life. It’s never a way to go through any part of life. If you set out to complete a task, it should be to achie

With modern Google, if I’m searching for something that could either be a band or a song, I can put “band” and I will get only results for the band , even if the page doesn't include the word "band." But if you insist on a d

I watched one of my friends who says Google is useless use Google one day. If I were looking for a song, I would type in something like “song used at beginning of X movie indie rock” He would type in “X songs.” I basically find everything i

I know Apple has been known to wait until a technology was very mature before putting it into a product, sometimes years after competitors had already done so. But Apple Intelligence seems like the complete opposite… like they had to have s

I played both Blockland and Roblox when they were new games and funny thing is that Blockland was the more commercialized version. However Roblox was pretty barebones in comparison. I preferred Blockland. There were a decent number of playe

People only were working remotely that much because everyone was forced to be home which was unprecedented. It can only possibly go downhill from “everyone was forced to be home.” But even that aside, according to Gallup, exclusively remo

I use EQ only to get speakers to a more baseline neutral response so it makes sense to set them on the device themselves. I’ve had to set EQ on Bluetooth speakers themselves that didn’t sound so good out of the box. Though at that point I r

People got out of their comfort zone during COVID and tried new things. Campgrounds got packed, people got into skateboarding… if you look at statistics, you’ll see a 2020-ish bump for many interests and an associated sudden growth in reven

It’s the norm because people rather buy one single product that does it all. The alternative to an all-in-one sound bar is having regular 5.1 speakers, a nice receiver, a nice streaming box, and maybe a dumber TV and you will have absolutel
