Agreed on battery life. It's such a pity that advances in battery tech is never given back to the user. As for green text, this is purely a US thing. Most of the rest of the world uses Whatsapp.

I agree that this effect exists but it's not as strong as it was in early generation models.

As for real products, at Google's current size it has become near impossible to launch new ones worth their time. Google currently has a quarterly revenue of $70-80B. Imagine an internal team launches a new product to collect $100M in

I have a 13 Pro. Gorgeous to see without a case but way too slippery for me. I need a case for grip.

I'm conflicted. It's absolutely stunning what smartphones can do these days and Apple makes an excellent product. It feels ungrateful and cynical to keep calling new models "boring". The reality though is that normie nee

We've manufactured this from a blend of grade 11 graphite collected from an asteroid and dried oyster tears which you will hide using a $5 cover from Alie Express.

Well, if you put it that way, what is the point of humans anyway? The human part of any hybrid would be the weak part as it comes to performance. And since we don't care about typical human things, like family, why bother with a human

Singapore, as well as South Korea and in part China and Japan have a few things in common. A work yourself to death culture, paired with the expectation to forever take care of your parents/in-laws. Not exactly a fertile ground to star

What do you suggest regarding the social contract? I'm asking because whatever policy you'd like to see applied to the current elderly, is to be applied with twice the intensity to yourself, as the generation behind you is even sm

Sometimes the simplest explanation is best. In record time, we went from a situation where having children is required at the personal level to a situation where it is a personal choice. When given the choice, most still want children. How

I think it's really weird that this is considered. Masonry is a very specific layout implementation whilst the typical CSS layout feature is more foundational. Also, I think the need for masonry is vastly overestimated or perhaps not

Extending lifespan misses the point and is reasoned from the individual, and not the child. Lifespan extension adds to your maximum age but maximum age isn't the most pressing issue to begin with. When you're born and you have par

No, quite a lot more. 50 effectively becomes and unlimited amount as capability grows. If AI can match the capability of a single programmer, it would then be trivial to scale up. Although in that case the term programmer makes little sense

In the late 90s I was in an introduction class to programming in C. I kept making memory allocation mistakes that crashed the machine. My mentor: "Don't worry, by the time you graduate, you don't have to program, the world wi

I want to describe society in the 80s, Western Europe. Everything is cash-based. My dad got paid in cash. He spent in cash, in stores as well as freely transacting with friends and family. There were (hardly) any CCTV cameras anywhere and o

I think world scale social networks as in an open "town square" are borderline impossible. Which is not that surprising as it's quite unnatural to talk and be seen by the entire world. However, if you do try it, I still belie

Not really. First, nobody cares what anybody on the Fediverse says. It's tiny. It's pinnacle "app", Mastodon, is losing lots of MAU every single day and is now below 1M MAU. Besides being tiny, it's scattered and di

I consider the words "creator" and "creator economy" dangerous because it suggests it's a serious and viable job. As the article and many comments explain, it isn't viable for 99.99% of those trying. Which isn&

It's like all cloud providers are in some cartel where they refuse to implement the most basic counter-bankruptcy features. The request is very simple: max budget per month. Shut it down if it exceeds it. Implement it already and stop

Google is full of contradictions. They do all of this for the sake of diversity yet it's the least diverse place imaginable as it represents a narrow brand of politics only (largely) found in California. Which is a laughable set of pol

"Public pressure" and "we demanded" meaning a small group of angry, chronically online, outrage-addicted Twitter mobsters. Which in no way represent public opinion.

Guess where your fatalism was learned? Social media. It's absurd to claim that working or having a career delivers no monetary benefits.

Why is bias a problem? When you prompt "business man" and it outputs a white man, this is quite probably reflective of representation in reality. Whether this overrepresentation is even a problem at all is debatable as the idea th

Those are "white-adjacent". They're the glitch in the woke matrix. They're minorities, non-white, yet they perform. Outperform even. This suggests that merit works no matter your background which breaks identity politics

When I first learned that AI companies are vacuuming up all internet content without any regard for permission, attribution or compensation for the content creator, I found that deeply immoral. I figured they should pay for it. But now that

Unfortunately, that too is a mess. In a way, anybody can attempt to "add" a new species by describing it in a paper. So you'd typically send your specimen to the most fitting specialist willing and able to write that paper. T

I really like the fresh ideas in Bluesky, in this case especially the different ideas regarding federation in comparison to Mastodon. I've tried Mastodon extensively and it is lacking in so many ways. There's no algorithmic feed o
