   I'm disappointed in The Guardian for taking Thiel seriously. I thought they were better than that.

   That's a problem for people like me who came up on the Mac and switched to Windows. I like a mouse. I'm good at using a mouse. It feels like keyboard people are saying "we're going to take away your familiar mouse option

   I've read comments like yours in the past few days about Fedora. It seems strange to me that Fedora defaults to a lousy desktop when everyone says there are better available. I can't think of any other software that has the same p

   I guess I'll be the contrarian in the thread: My main machine is Windows 11. I recently bought a refurbished laptop to make it a Linux torrenting machine with ProtonVPN. I first installed Fedora, which I hated. Where's the mininmi

    Thinking Machines Lab and I are in Silicon Valley California. Are you suggesting that we should follow your provincial rules?

    Don't I know it. My Irish grandmother hated the British, but Northern Ireland is currently British - for now.

    I'm very aware of how I speak which is why I have a good track record of not offending people. I change with the times e.g. I no longer refer to a car transmission as a tranny. So I know tinker as a slur is archaic. I've never hea

    I'm an American of Irish and Scottish descent with some travellers in my background. Never heard this word as a slur, only as "I like to tinker with machines." Tinker as a slur hasn't travelled off the islands of Great B

    I'm sympathetic, but it occcured to me that ccording to my amatuer studies, Germany lost WW2 in part because it had a craftsman mentality to manufacture war machines and ended up with a bazillion different part requirments and a shorta

    Did you use Google Play to pause subscription? Because Claude Pro says there is no pause subscription except on Google Play and then goes on to explain your problem if that's the case.

    Is there a definition in the manual of mental disorders (DSM-5 in the US) for an addiction to feeling smug? If so we should call it Marcus Disorder.

    Good point. I wouldn't expect a New York Times reported to compare corporate American companies to IG Farben using slave labor from Auschwitz but that's where we're headed with prisons for profit.

    I do coding on mine which to me is serious work. Not vibe coding, more like pair programming. Anyway, I'm saying "why not both?" desktop and mobile, not one or the other

    I tell my son to do something different everyday - to build memories, because otherwise if we do the same thing everyday it becomes a blur and time passes too quickly. We also don't have memories to reflect on when we're old. I di

    I don't wake up and start talking to my phone. I make myself breakfast/coffee and sit down in front of my window on the world and start exploring it. I like the old internet, not the curated walled gardens of phone apps.

    I'm glad that people who are deep into religion are taking AI seriously. I want to hear what they have to say. Like The Pope recently saying he won't authorize a pope AI and that AI poses risks. I'd like to hear Muslim, Buddh

    No desktop version. I know I'm old, but do people really do serious work on small mobile phone screens? I love my glorious 43" 4K monitor, I hate small phone screens but I guess that's just me.

    Good find. That's really interesting. I would guess the titles are related. I want to also mention that with "Bachlorette" Björk seems to anticipate Large Language Models and wrote a cautionary tale about them: “One day I fou

    Björk and Laurie Anderson are my two favorite artists who have a feel of both nature and technology in harmony, but there's an artist who preceeds both that captures the feeling best for me: Richard Brautigan in the 60's All
