Humans adapt and will always break the rules, but that’s not something that can be solved with tech. Think: prohibition vs public anti smoking campaigns/healthcare support/and then increasing prices

What I find interesting about this + a random bucket of associations because I’ve fallen under the spell of Satan’s Lettuce: Just a few days ago someone was talking about a machine - human patois. This (your project) sits somewhere between

This is brilliant! I wish I had seen this a few years back! Q: Generating higher quality sounds with a specified duration (e.g. within a 300ms margin) -- is it possible with your approach, is it hard, how would you go about that? I'm a

Has it gotten any better in the past 6 months on Mac (UI glitches, password management)? I really want to use it but basic things like password management kept breaking (I even tried switching between different options, like BitWarden - no

I think "through writing" / "write to think/feel" a lot (usually in a mix of 1st/2nd person, 5-6 pages of text per day on avg.). Think: stream-of-consciousness writing, journaling, but also just keeping a

The lack of colour is actually quite cool (and it’s a fun creative constraint). But the lack of backlight and usb (iirc) is annoying. The first because you can’t use it in bed and I like to play something cosy/silly in low light ( http
