The UI for smartphones was also designed for the lowest common denominator. It’s so intuitive that we laughed at my toddler as she tried to swipe on a physical picture frame to see the next photo. I would imagine it would be much harder to

And yet FSD and even lane assist are going to be safer than the driver near you who is scrolling and typing away on their smartphone Don’t mistake my post as a defense of FSD or Tesla. They’ve been lying about their capabilities for what fe

Advertising in the Nix space is wild. I first learned about it in the realm of reproducible builds as well, which feels more like a “nix the language” feature This led me to install nixos which is really kind of an output of that design, a

Honestly, I don’t see how that is compatible with a capitalist society. Money is power and politics is the exercise of power.

It’s very wrong. Improv requires empathy and awareness of the person you are in a scene with. The dark triad personality traits are defined by an explicit lack of empathy and ability to connect with other people

I’ve answered questions on the internet for decades. I enjoy helping people, especially when it’s about a hobby we share. I would feel the same way if I came to realize that my helpful nature was being abused by a bad acting corporation, an

Weird take. I don’t know anyone who detests podcasts. They just don’t listen to them. Having such strong feelings about something you can just ignore is unhealthy. FWIW, I cancelled Spotify last year and their focus on podcasts was one of t

Yeah, my first reaction was cool, what’s uv Oh, yet another python dependency tool. I have used a handful of them, and they keep coming I guess no work is important enough until it gets a super fast CLI written in the language du jour and i

Parallel construction is the term for using a covert, inadmissible method to get your suspect, then using that illicit information to build a legitimate case that you can present in court. Perhaps the fact that they were unable to build tha

Perhaps I misunderstand your point, but the US obviously doesn't have any issue meddling in other country's economies or political systems. The US also obviously allows foreigners to business in the US without many restrictions. I

There is no paradox. Tolerance is a social contract. If you break the contract you are no longer covered by it.

Would you rather give a random 3rd party API access to your social media? Would you trust X to not leak more than just the first few pages of your feed? This way is clumsy but I appreciate that you have absolute control over what you are sh

Calling anything “cringe” is pretty self-referential. This slang just makes me imagine a bunch of genZ folk wincing nonstop with the heads in their phones. Must be exhausting. As long as the internet has existed, we have been lampooning cor

I think this is it. Once a console can run an LLM you will see open world games with immersion that we’ve never seen before Procedurally generated worlds are one thing but imagine exploring an endless world where you can talk to every NPC a

Exactly. If you want to be dazzled with AAA titles running at 120Hz/60fps/4k then there are plenty of ways to spend your money. Frankly that segment of the industry feels like a treadmill of never ending upgrades for the same basi

This has always been such a weird take for me. I know PC gamers get caught up in hardware arms races but Nintendo handheld consoles have always been about having fun playing cartoony games. Animal crossing doesn’t need much horsepower to tr

That’s asinine. Every nation responds to things such as tariffs with a proportional response. We have plenty of evidence that the U.S. has been harmed with our open approach to unfettered access to our electronic systems. Meanwhile our geop

Interestingly, even in music schools there is a kind of snobbery from composers that performers are lesser musicians That is, if you are world class pianist and tour the world playing classical music, you are still lesser than a composer wh

Why would you assume people only want to do art for self enjoyment? That was not my interpretation of the quote at all I mean, if you have ever been around theater kids for a minute you’d know they are the most extroverted people on the pla

Dataclysm by Christian Rudder might be interesting to compare here. That’s a “big data” approach to OK Cupids data circa 2014. Notably I wonder how much things have changed in the past decade, as that data predated the concepts of incels an
