You know what they mean by opinions. Policing speech like this is always counter productive.

Well I certainly hope that’s true to some degree or I’m out of a job
123.

Great point, but why call it a directory then rather than someone’s personal recommendations?
124.
by jama211 8mo ago
Yeah, but they’ll add another layer of complexity over doing it yourself
125.
by jama211 8mo ago
That’s one use case that is very hard to automate right now yes.

by jama211 8mo ago
None of what you just said is anything I hadn’t considered, and also none of it negates anything I said.
127.
by jama211 8mo ago
Well that’s clearly false, and obviously “they” refers to people that include management lol
128.
by jama211 8mo ago
Well all of that is false and tbh sounds a bit sus
129.
by jama211 8mo ago
That’s true, however I’m truely glad 70% of the population isn’t working in food production anymore, those were the bad old times.

Yes, businesses tend to prefer growth over cost cutting. We need to handle the transition period well though or it will hurt.

Well you can scale it, which is why housing affordability is higher in many places where the cities are actually far denser than Australia. There are perverse incentives not to though, property prices don’t rise (which is what investors wan

Or they’d keep the same number of people and increase total value output. Businesses tend to like the idea of growth more than cost cutting after all.
133.
by jama211 8mo ago
Well said. It’s like they think that the only thing automation is good for is cutting costs. You can keep the same staff size but increase output instead, creating more value.
134.
by jama211 8mo ago
No? You don’t only gain justification for automation by cutting costs. You can gain justification by increasing profits. You can keep the same amount of people but use them more efficiently and you create more total value. The fact you didn

Not sure this is likely to be a successful angle but I understand the motivation behind it
136.
by jama211 8mo ago
lol good luck with that

Are we wishcasting here or suggesting realistic policy?
138.
by jama211 8mo ago
Cool idea but the ai readme text is so cringy in places “This is FUN, not FEAR”
139.
by jama211 8mo ago
Perhaps but it was always like that so it hasn’t regressed

by jama211 8mo ago
Yeah, there’s been a culture of stability as the platforms mature I suppose

Some of these are design decisions, not rough edges. There’s pros and cons. Eg, centralising settings makes it simpler min some ways and more convoluted in others. That being said clipboard history would be a nice addition. However I never

I still use spoken punctuation and it works ok so long as you don’t pause. E.g. “ hey siri text my wife I’m not sure when I’ll be home comma but I’ll text you when I’m leaving” if I say that without pausing, it puts the comma in the right p

I think the keyboard is fine. A few small issues here and there but in general I can type quickly and accurately. I must be lucky though, perhaps my typing style is what apple expects.

by jama211 8mo ago
Yeah I’d be in that group, boredom sucks, I’d heaps want to feel what the shock feels like also out of curiosity too.
145.
by jama211 8mo ago
I agree context is most important. But, I was talking in general.
146.
by jama211 8mo ago
Phooey.

Great idea, though something I accepted about myself years ago is I always want to read at least some of the comments, even if they’re horrific and make me want to sand off my own eyeballs. It may be horrible a lot of the time, but the tota

Not sure this particular thing concludes it
149.
by jama211 8mo ago
Nah.

That’s not a contradiction - documentation often needs to be written with no expectation anyone will ever read it.
