Well yeah, scrolling through and liking a picture of your friend's vacation and commenting "Adorable!" on a video of your cousin's toddler only gives you, say, 10 minutes to see ads, whereas getting fed an endless stream

I think people in general are not all that great at doing this. Anecdotal, but I grew up in a small town in rural New England, a few hours from NYC and popular with weekenders and second-home owners from there. I don’t think that people fro

Yeah I see a lot of stuff in America where decades of single-minded optimization towards cheap & convenient has had knock-on effects that ultimately don't serve people very well, or wind up creating second order costs—like hollowin

I think if I were hiring remotely right now I’d look to create exercises that could be done “open book” using AI, but that I’d validated against current models as something they don’t do very well on their own. There are still tons of areas

I’m not sure there’s a clear winner here beyond using languages and libraries that are very well represented in the training data. While types can let the LLM try to solve certain problems on its own, they’re also, as you mention, a source

I have an M1 13” Air and my wife still sometimes uses my old 2016 12” Macbook (920g). Whenever I pick hers up by accident I’m reminded how noticeably thin and light it is. It seems like a small difference but it changes the feel quite a bit

For sure, barometers are useful, I'm an avid backpacker and make use of the one in my watch for sudden weather changes and altitude, but if I'm buying a $150+ smartwatch to take backpacking, I just wouldn't really consider on

It's kind of weird segmentation, but, given neither has GPS, I wonder how many people who'd seriously consider buying one of these really care about having a compass & barometer. Are those often important features to someone w

In many places in the US you might find it hard to get a plumber to even return your calls or come out to your house for a smaller job, since the good ones have as much work as they could ever want. Not a perfect comparison since plumbers t

The ad actually sticks out in my mind not only for the visuals but because it introduced me to both Jose Gonzalez and The Knife.

They're very similar, but handling both together my old 2016 12" is just slightly smaller and lighter in a way that is really appealing compared to my 2020 13" M1 Air. It's 350g lighter, which makes more of a difference

Cooking shows are a perfect analogy for this stuff. For some reason I never connected the highly-edited-mass-appeal "watch someone do skilled work" videos on YouTube with Food Network style content until just now, but you're
