   I think there's a difference between "90% baked" and "in retrospect, didn't have features it's most commonly used for now." I mean, iPhone didn't have 3G or the ability to run third-party apps at laun

   Apple famously cannibalizes their existing products deliberately, so I don't think that's what's holding them back. It's also strongly possible that Apple's eventual product will require an iPhone to function, so ca

   I'm not sure what you're hearing is "we can't do it without corporations" so much as it is "the ones sponsored by corporations are better." I mean, GIMP exists, but any one of a half-dozen commercial produ

   Not for you, since if you don't get it already, you clearly won't. But for anyone else reading this, a few points: Though the goalposts shifted from "cannot build bike lanes without destroying thousands of homes and businesse

   A system which literally never sends my password information to any computers controlled by 1Password seems better than the LastPass nonsense, and more to the point, seems at least as secure as anything I would create. While LastPass was br

   In a society shaped by misguided efforts to keep bike riders safe, the smart move for any individual cyclist is to wear a helmet. Better for all would be to reshape society so that helmets weren't required, but in the US, at least, tha

   I created my first website in 1994, and started blogging (weekly, rather than daily) in 1995, so this was a nice walk down memory lane. I too lament how much more difficult it is to build something completely independently than it was then,

    I didn't say he was an incompetent buffoon, you did. I think it's more true than not, but those are your words, not mine. I said only that he was frequently certain while being wrong. When he makes a pronouncement and then reverse

    This is "obviously" based on... no communication whatsoever from the company yet. Another comment of yours says "quite obvious" about advertising, which doesn't seem to be an industry segment in which you work. It s

    So far every new feature has been a previously-developed canceled feature. Even Twitter Blue was an existing feature repurposed, and it took two tries to release.

    Yes, this will get fawning coverage on a cable news network, and people who previously had no opinion on remote work will heartily support their team's efforts to stop rewarding unproductive laziness.

    This is absolute nonsense. While neither party has a completely clean record, one is profoundly, dramatically, egregiously worse than the other when it comes to our rights. One party usually protects our rights, but occasionally does stupid

    I have more than 18 servers in discord, 8 tabs in iTerm, Textual IRC, iMessage, Music, Signal, TextEdit, VSCode, and two different browsers running right now on an 8GB M1 Mac mini, with no issues. Then again, neither browser is Chrome. Safa

    That is absolutely incorrect, Netflix does pay residuals[0]. Netflix is notorious for not allowing shows, even popular shows, to go beyond two seasons[1], so your subsequent paragraphs also seem to be incorrect. It does make some differen

    Mostly people arguing that the numbers are "wrong" are misunderstanding what low inflation means. Low inflation means prices won't continue to rise. It does not mean that prices will come down. The prices you remember from

    1. Nobody is saying that there has been deflation , so yes, prices that have gone up will remain up. The old baseline, the one in your head, that's gone. The question now is will prices keep going up, and the answer seems to be no. In

    Indeed, it's a bizarre over-politicization, and people don't seem to recognize how they're escalating rhetoric needlessly. Most of this seemingly because of a tweet by a member of the US Congress. Very strange.

    No, it did not. Humans are pattern-matchers, indeed, pattern-overmatchers, so it's not unreasonable that you felt that way, but this does not reflect anything like a "thought" from the AI model.
