210 partners want to track me as I use this, and I can’t decline in one click. Why is that necessary?

I just rub it against my pant leg. For glasses I use little alcohol wipes because the thick grease film drives me nuts.

I run mine under the tap with hand soap.

It’s such a nice museum, and yes the Z1 is mesmerising.

I had to check, and it’s indeed in Saxony. The state does not have a great history with xenophobia.

I live in Germany. It shows as Lake Ontario here.

AI overviews are killing traffic to websites that do the original research. It’s putting translators out of work. The replacement is not better, but it’s good enough for the undiscerning people who prefer the cost pr convenience of LLM-gene

This is where my position gets more nuanced. The default value should still be Lake Ontario, because that's what most of the world recognises it as. It's the most neutral name for it. In general, I don't like that the world d

I am Canadian. It is and it will stay Lake Ontario. I am mad at Google for a lot of things, but this is not one of them. A map should represent the current reality. Google Maps defaults to the user’s local reality, which seems reasonable to

I love your website. The lists page is a brilliant idea and I might steal it from you. Human curation is such a luxury.

To develop good taste you must try a lot of things. However it's a lot more important to actually try the thing yourself. An artist who makes art every day will run circles around one who consumes a lot of art. I read a lot, and it mea

For Canadians, the alternative is the death of a language.

There is a YouTube channel posting daily unhinged quotes from AI leaders, and it's far worse than I thought. It adds insult to injury for all those losing their shirt to AI.

HN has a ridiculously good search in my opinion. It's also really fast.

This kind of internet is enjoying a small revival and I'm all for it.

Experimental History is such a consistently pleasant read. I often refer to the "skull full of poison" one. Less Penguiny has a short blog with similar writing style. Not as good but very good nonetheless

I believe that you are inverting cause and effect. These behaviors manifest at my worst, when I am tired. Under medication, some disappeared completely.

This is certainly how I feel. My desire to get a diagnosis and to start medication was entirely driven by the need to perform at work. After becoming self-employed and setting my own schedule, I lost the need entirely. It popped up again af

It's still one of the rare places where public discussion is happening. There is simply no alternative.

Super cool writeup! The helmet cam at the end was gravy.

How did you understand this as not writing the piece myself?

They really are. This is why I prefer the volume approach. I might not accept any of the ideas it spits out, but it often guides me in a direction I was not considering. I know that most people don't care, but my online presence is a s

Yep, I literally ask it to say it in 20 different ways. Sometimes a sentence structure or a combination of words will just work better. The goal is usually to simplify a sentence without losing meaning. I don't expect the LLM to read m

This is an excellent use case. It made learning German much easier. I write what I think is correct, then get a fixed version. When writing in English though, I use it more like a dictionary. If you want to write past a certain level, an LL
