Not the op, but there are several that jump to mind: - A Google-branded network separate from the internet - Browsing the cache - Since this hypothetical reality includes them being restricted from the internet, maybe they don’t need to lin

I’m sure that there are professionals who operate in spaces where they need to use it above their head, or while skydiving. I’m not sure why small numbers of professionals would or should affect the whole product.

Would you trade 600g and a slightly thicker device for double the battery life?

The performance of their website got my attention. People who care about those details and who optimize for fast are my kind of people.

We’re so deep in the “finding loopholes” game that it would be almost impossible to fix the system without starting from scratch.

WordPress does have bunches of caching plugins. Some VPS hosts (shout out SiteGround) also have multiple layers of server-level caching that they will apply automatically. You can take most WordPress websites from multi-second load times to

Maybe it’s time for a new web spec: something that lets federated platforms request link previews with minimal resources. Realistically you need max two requests (one for the structured text, one for the preview media) and those can be heav

There was a show (if someone has the reference please add it) where these business guys were discovering chefs and working to turn their restaurants in to franchises. There was a huge wake-up call as they kept working with this brilliant ch

Ok, I’m following you now. But there are two limits you’ve put on yourself: 1. This is limited to digital representations of information (which let’s be up front about: is the overwhelming majority of information in 2024, but the point is i

If younger generations were given the ability to rewrite the laws around sharing works, I feel like none of this would be in question.

I hope a greater and greater percentage of the population comes to understand this. Currently the people putting in the bigger volume of “work” are the “we want the money” faction. Those who claim they own every concept that they touch. Bec

IA seems to be arguing that society needs a way to archive and access all printed works. The library model is one that has a long history and is therefore helpful as a way to accomplish that mission. The “controlled” part of controlled digi

That’s a compelling point. If you’ll indulge me I’m going to think out loud a little. What makes sense to me about this point: - Having zero knowledge of “non-good” could lead to fragility when people phrase questions in “non-good” ways - I

As I was reading, this voice got louder and louder: Would LLMs cross this threshold if we were able to train them only on works that are “objectively good”? if someone has better language than this, please enlighten me) That is to say: co

This is wild. Their accounting could massively hurt the VR industry (to the point, the comment above about how it’s too bad VR can’t be profitable). IMO it’s not AI or VR that will take over, but a combination of the two.

This is imo the worst part of embedding search. Somehow Amazon continues to be the leader in muddy results which is a sign that it’s a huge problem domain and not easily fixable even if you have massive resources.
