It annoys me a lot that the current devices for controlling smart homes, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, lack the ability for lovely conversations the way OpenAI has.

The calendar chart looks fun, I wonder how customisable it is in terms of colour or tooltip highlights?

One of the most ridiculous things about age verification are the assumed ages for using things. For example, recommended Age Ratings for movies way overestimate the age somebody should be to watch things. I was watching NC-17 movies at th

In Australia, neither the BECS or (new!) NPP payment protocols even support the use of special accent characters like à, è, ì, ò, ù. Interbank transactions fail if you have a French name. Shows a real lack of foresight by system designers t

I would love Github to integrate this, as that is typically where I am writing my squash commit messages (when merging Pull Requests).

It's funny that Rails generates params for parameters passed to it for GET, HEAD and DELETE requests, even though it shouldn't. I think I've noticed this before when debugging but never thought much of it. In a poorly coded

Distance to the Plex source can be an issue. My friend in Canada shared his Plex server with me living in Western Australia, and Plex struggles immensely to stream his server to me on the other side of the world.

The "liquid glass" design changes shown by Apple look mostly like slight tinkering around the edges of how widgets look/feel. Way less of a design change than the move to flat design was.

The time where humans + computers in chess were better than just computers was not a long time. That era ended well over a decade ago. Might have been true for only 3-5 years.

I assume when the British King travels to other countries, he is greeted by those countries with a state welcome. I imagine Trump isn't accumulating passport stamps or lining up for customs when he flies to other countries in Air Force

I recently learned that the King is the only person in the UK that doesn't require a passport to travel.

A bit of a tangent, but this excerpt from a Sam Kriss rant about science content on social media always stuck with me: Those multicoloured nebulae are not real objects, they exist only in fantastic pictures overlaid with Neil deGrasse T

The lack of scientific consistency reveals itself when talking about exoplanets outside our solar system. The exoplanet 2MASS J21265040-8140293 is separated from its star by 7400 AU. Its unlikely that planet is clearing its orbital neighbo

I'm curious if this move by TSMC can use this research?: https://spectrum.ieee.org/microled-optical-chiplet They seem like related attempts at creating optical processors.

There really is a big problem with the new definition of a Planet, vs Dwarf Planet, in declaring that a Planet can "clear the neighbourhood around its orbit." The further away a body orbits from its star, the more unreasonable it

It is difficult to be "disciplined" when you are trying to afford the rising costs of rent, car payments, childcare, and food. A majority of people live pay cheque to pay cheque, and are lucky to save a few thousand dollars.

The icons look out of place next to the red search button with flat design. If they are going with a style they need to fully commit to it!

Cool that GitHub publishes every DMCA takedown notice they receive like this. Fascinating to go through them.

Little else symbolises technological stagnation better than Boeing reusing the design of its 737 series for its new airplane.

A big revelation for me in solving so much timezone insanity came from realising that timezones should be expressed as locations rather than zones. Avoid general terms like "Pacific Standard Time" and stick to location-specific on
