People with bad health, low status being able to wear the same clothes as young women with good health and status removes the signalling benefit of those clothes.

They're not more default than people innocently googling something and getting an AI response from some form of Gemini.

They don't get the appropriate taxes on that money, which is the whole reason those US companies route money there in the first place.

Everyone is capable of creating art. We're not objectively deciding what is art and what isn't, up front. Who decides what counts? Who's to say an AI generated self-published vomit novels on Amazon aren't as valid as any

Can someone explain what the lines mean?

This is the most obviously AI written text I think I've ever read.

Other than what they're doing to the whole Open Source ecosystem by buying github, stealing all the code for their AI regardless of license, renaming multiple adjacent things to "Github *".

We're on the iPhone 17 pro though?

Owning a car and living somewhere you have to use it for day to day everything is tedious. But the option of one for the weekend, trips out of town, into nature is ultra valuable, enough so that it's worth it to have a car sitting do

Why? At worst you can just pay extra to have a smaller or more luxurious private self driving taxi vs. something more like a bus, shared with others. The appeal of owning and having to maintain something like this is nil. You're not in

Even if they use Paypal?

by wooger 8mo ago
Makes sense. In the UK, their fees plus the encouraged (used to be mandatory as an option) Paypal payment option steals a very significant chunk of the purchase price from sellers. In the last 5 years I've won multiple auctions for not

It’s always amusing how much Apple’s adoption of generic tech is hyped up and overanalysed online, and made into a must have feature making all alternatives unsuitable. The nano texture screen coating is clearly better for my purposes vs

Weird, there are an awful lot of engineers (last 3 SaaS companies I worked for) that are all Teams.

Eh? What has this got to do with the US? European based sports broadcast rights are an EU & UK issue entirely.

A vehicle thousands of pounds heavier, with much worse mpg, and almost by definition terrible aerodynamics, is no less efficient than a car with empty rear seats? Sure.

Yep, the bed of a van being 2-3 feet lower than a truck saves a lot of pointless effort, and having that load carried lower makes far more sense.

Yeah yeah, and 30-50 feral hogs could burst into your yard any moment. For moving yards of mulch, topsoil or concrete blocks, almost anyone in my country, including people in construction would just have that delivered to the site, next day

Do you not have services in the US to do this for you? The problem: I have a pile of construction waste, household junk, garden waste etc. is solved by many businesses who'll come pick it up for a small fee. If your local government d

The view I get on tv watching stadium sports at least is vastly better than from any seat in the stadium, I'd never want to use this service for football or NFL etc. Not to mention that these sports are all wrapped up in exclusive broa

Siri got substantially worse over time in fact, I swear it used to at least be able to give you answers to basic facts rather than just offering to google things.

I find it bizarre that x isn't already blocked in Britain given that it's full of porn, and seemingly doesn't do any of the required proof of age checks required by every other porn website under current UK legislation.

It's hard to understand what Anthropic are getting from forcing more people to use Claude Code vs any other tools via the API. Why do they care? Do they somehow get better analytics or do they dream that there's a magical lock-in

This device is obviously a non-starter, iPads exist already, and the laptop form factor isn't right for this ergonomically. iPad and Macbook should've already converged at this point. I say that even as a very happy user of a Macb

The lite makes a lot of difference, it's only using the iOS content blocker and it doesn't work effectively in many use cases.

I'm not sure you can run with appropriate gait (stop heel striking) in modern mass market running shoes. The heels on many running shoes are 2 inches+ and make it just impossible to avoid heel striking without wasting a lot of motion p

And you've been to a physio? As far as I recall, the treatment I was prescribed for the same thing was mostly eccentric single leg squats, ideally on a 30 degree angled board. And rest...

Trailrunning is less harsh on joints for sure, but certainly not easier based on the times of anyone who's run trail vs road events over any distance. Mud, obstacles, and terrain that hasn't been bulldozed and rolled to be pan-fla

I would say that anyone who smokes anything (cigarettes, vapes, cannabis, crack) is indicating that they're at best not health conscious and are acting in a nihilistic way. It seems entirely logical that their risk-tolerance and judgem

Any strong smell is unpleasant, especially when it's unavoidable, from perfume to petrol fumes, even along to food smells.
