It's not arbitrary—if you look at your cellphone bill, there's a tax for 911 access. They could probably offer a cheaper plan with just 911, but they can't make it free. But I think $9.99 is fair all things considered. I&#x27

This is really cool—love the branding, concept and even the price point. My cynical side thinks there's probably unlimited money to be made taking items from Millennials' youth and marketing it to their kids on a subscription mode

Is this different from NSAutoreleasePool, which has been around for over 30 years?

I have a family member who jumped off a balcony on LSD and needed extensive reconstructive facial surgery. I'd call that a pretty bad trip. It's kind of kept me away from anything more than mushrooms.

TIL that Serif (publisher of the Affinity suite, now owned by Canva) has been around since the 90s!

That makes sense. It’s my family photo library, so my risk tolerance is very low!

I’m a TrueNAS/FreeNAS user, currently running an ECC system. The traditional wisdom is that ECC is a must-have for ZFS. What do you think? Is this outdated?

That is all very helpful—thank you! And your comment about how hardware companies approach software 100% matches what I've observed in consulting. The idea of combining my love of photography and my software skillset at a more traditio

Oh, very cool! I’m also a photographer, so that sounds like a dream job. Any advice on breaking into this space as a software developer?

It really is mind-blowing! The CMS I'm building is for creative imaging—I want to model some specific subtractive processes from the physical world digitally. In the process, I had to come up with a way to convert RGB to spectral power

This is awesome—I had never read about this experiment. I'm using the CMF quite heavily right now as I develop a spectral color management system. It's amazing that Maxwell was able to essentially plot out the CMF so early!

How's that UBI coming? Oh, totally off the table you say? Well, the people will surely find something better to do than rising up.

I guess that explains the Coda acquisition. Honestly, I wonder what makes anyone think that Grammarly is the right centerpiece for an AI rollup?

There’s still a huge opportunity for AI. The way it’s used currently (sorting & drafting replies) is barely scratching the surface. Until you can literally turn your mailbox over to AI the way you would with a human assistant, email UX

Right. I guess either way, dystopia or utopia, if we have 1B humanoid robots in 2035, literally no one will remember saving $10M by cutting one scientific grant program.

I’m no Peter Thiel fan, but I love his critique of DOGE: > I had a conversation with Elon a few weeks ago about this. He said we’re going to have a billion humanoid robots in the U.S. in 10 years. And I said: Well, if that’s true, you do

This looks amazing given the parameter sizes and capabilities (audio, visual, text). I like the idea of keeping simple tasks local. I’ll be curious to see if this can be run on an M1 machine…

How about supplements? Yeah…

by turnsout 1y ago
This is a complex picture, so there's much more going on here than Big Pharma trying to squeeze out white-knight compounding pharmacies and supplement makers. What we have in the US is an industry that is constantly at the brink of sys

It's possible they didn't advance computer vision, but they certainly applied it.

Exactly. If the financial incentive is there, they'll add sufficient jitter to trick the detector, and eventually train an ML model to make it even more realistic.

It's surprising to me that attractive, GPU-accelerated window compositing is not a 100% solved problem in the Linux ecosystem. I'm assuming I'm missing some huge technical challenge. Does anyone have the ELI5 on this?

It's a chicken and egg problem, but ideally they would use the congestion revenue to fund public transit improvements. If we do nothing, Atlanta and Denver will continue to be car cities forever.

by turnsout 1y ago
I hear you, but people with lower incomes who had to commute into Manhattan were far less likely to drive even before congestion pricing. Most of these folks are taking buses or trains. When it comes to taxes, this is just one more use tax.

That's such a great point! Everybody: this guy loves his car, so let's not change anything about our completely unsustainable way of life! Hey, quick question, do you happen to like plastic bags and styrofoam cups too?

It's confusing, but "liberal" and "neoliberal" are in fact antonyms.

The lack of self-awareness here is definitely funny—every major news outlet absolutely blasts their mobile apps with an endless stream of breathless breaking updates. I turned all news notifications off entirely in 2016.
