That depends. To me, if you are developing an actual app, you should not be able to select text by default - its too easy to do by accident. If you're doing editing or there's an error message, those are exceptions and of course y

That seems a good usecase for AI: Its trivial to have it suggest some queries and test if they give interesting results.

O1 was able to find the math problem in a recently published paper, so yes.

Your are missing: interest by individuals, information corporations wants out (no grocery store chain would ever think of putting a paygate on its opening hours), and think tanks. Besides, even in the extreme where no new media is ever crea

I dream of a world where all advertising is in one place, and where I can go and look up things, when I want to. Where I can type a problem that I have into a bot and then it can show me suggested solutions for that problem: this could be a

Passkeys are an excellent way to lock yourself into your current device and out of your accounts if you ever move away.

Thats a bad faith take. You are assuming that putting phones away at night does not mean that the phone is still in the same room.

Mostly you are doing statistics, which is math. Social science (when it is the good thing) also uses statistics to get answers to questions.

Thats absolutely true, but people who don't like that tend to also be the people with painfully limited introspection and who are generally not worth talking too much with. And if you do need to do that for work functions or something,

I somehow ended up on the spam list for the last election (funny, having never set my feet in the US) and it was painfully obvious that the goal of those headlines were to make people click them, thinking that it was a work e-mail.

I agree, but also: if younger me only had access to coding through a phone, younger me would be coding on a phone.

In 5 years: An AI can go through all the breaking footage posted on social media. An AI can join a phone call with 400 individuals and retain complete notes on everything that is happening. An AI can go through every single expense report,

I can assure you that at right now teens are sharing real nudes of their class mates. Do you want to restrict cameras and high speed internet too?

The world is in need of soap. Not the fancy beautiful artistic kind, but the kind that comes in containers and you put in bathrooms. This objectively saves lives and is one of those boring things I can imagine.

That describes most art. At least ai art can be pretty and doesn’t have the same political message.

He would not be my choice for candidate, but if the entire claim is that he won because of TikTok (and not because of voter suppression or ballot stuffing) then overturning the election was a complete fuckup. If polling showed that much les

You are reading too much into it. I am simply unwilling to listen anymore to the commentariat (roughly those working at newspapers, think tanks and/or having degrees in political science, media, communications, or sociology) attacking

Any of them ran their own startups? Ported some code to jemalloc? Then I am not interested in their idea on tech.

A bicycle is not suitable for the 100km trip to see my parents, and the only country that can operate trains at a satisfactory level is Japan (and maybe China, but I don't trust their data). So no, its either this or a gas car. Both ar

I had hoped that this included a way to configure wireguard to get clients from some other place: It would be really nifty if you could configure it to read from LDAP or similar.

It sounded like the same in the beginning with monkey pox, but that did not take of in the same way covid did. We shall see.

How about the NHS? You keep making the assumption that the building has to be built at all, and that 200 million isn't unreasonable. It does not have to be and its for _bats_.

But if people are forced to pick a hashtag, then they will want to correlate around one hashtag. So many things could be releated to politics.

I find that I want the opposite of the firehose: I want the thoughtful and smart people, and I want it to be about their interests. I did sign up for bluesky, but it has the same failure as twitter: I don't want to hear about your poli

No its not. You can do media select on if the primary input device is a pointer device (and, further, if it has high accuracy) and then filter on that. I used it to select which layout to show in the past. If you want to listen to input on
