The Biden administration is behind a few big bills: 1. The Infrastructure Investment Bill 2. The Inflation Reduction Act 3. The CHIPs Act The name of 2 is a bit of a misnomer (extremely common in US politics to give bills misleading names t

I ignored fountain pens for a long time because I'm not a calligrapher or artist and I mostly want writing to be easy and convenient. On a whim, I finally ordered a LAMY Safari and was really surprised at how much better the writing ex

The Centurion Lounge analogy doesn't make that much sense to me. Maybe if Amex also owned most of the airports and had their own airline? And you could only get into the lounge if you were also flying on Amex's airline? And while

I like it because it forces some decisions on various parties. Don't want to look at ads online? Block them but realize you yourself may be blocked from certain places. Don't want to allow ad-blocked users? Okay, but you lose thos

Perhaps you could address that issue through explicit "family" or "friend" groups, where people can chose who they wish to verify for. That would limit the usefulness of the trust network but prevent the privacy issue yo

It is important to note that the images in question are real, and involve actual victims of sexual abuse. Perhaps you were thinking instead that this was referring to suppressing CSAM as output from a model trained on exclusively legal cont

How is the web clipper? That is one thing I've found pretty lacking in other.

They really didn't think that through! "Artistic nudity?" They thought defining and enforcing rules around what constitutes "art" in the context of nudity was a good plan? Even without AI (which seems to be the in v

This is a great tool for those of us who might have a bit of a distro hopping problem. You no longer need to do the whole song and dance with `dd` and can just copy a bunch of ISOs to a single USB drive

This is a weird article. For one, I think this is super easy to say this if maybe you aren't hiring anyway for other reasons, and there is nothing other than the non-engineering hiring freeze that indicates that they are placing meanin

I'm on the fence about using this. I don't want to switch all my conversations over to iMessage and then have Apple figure out how to ban this. That kind of feels like a recipe for lost messages.

Well, the problem with those 3 examples is I think they all basically do most of what people want from them already, so if they don't change that is mostly fine. Stability is more important for their users. ChatGPT on the other hand, i

The worst thing about this whole affair has been the failure of the board to coherently express, seemingly to anyone, why they did what they did.

I've been part of a development team meltdown, where an entire engineering org left a company within a few months (we didn't all have a standing offer from a single company, so people trickled out as we found new jobs). In retrosp
