Solidarity with the striking writers. The film industry has evolved over many strikes and many decades into a powerful industry that sustains many workers in well-paying jobs. The wealth of the studios is built on the backs of the writers

Not controversial in the handful of countries where public transportation is efficient and ubiquitous. Americans are fed constant propaganda about how publicly owned anything isn’t possible, sold to them by the very people whose profits r

The civil society groups and local governments that advocate for this sort of thing exist in the US too. What Norway doesn't have (and much of Europe) is a powerful auto lobby that has prevented this sort of infrastructure for decades

No. Because ChatGPT will be available on other platforms that people already use, Microsoft phones will have awful user experience and overall polish, and iOS/Android will soon have something (better integrated) that is likely nearly

Apple will likely launch a (possibly AI-powered) journaling app with iOS 17 this year that extends their existing personal tracker offerings to include mental health and general mood. Then make it a more full-featured AI health coach in iO

It will be interesting to see how much Siri is improved this year with iOS 17. My guess is they give a modest update that isn’t as mind-blowing as ChatGPT but is impressive for the realistic-sounding voice from all of their text-to-speech

10 hours of real work would be quite an accomplishment at a big company, but it’s not all laziness. At least at Google, there is almost a complete lack of workable process and at the same time insane red tape around most everything. The en

Since NAFTA, corporations can already essentially treat US and Mexico as one nation for most purposes— with the added benefit that labor cannot! Workers in Detroit are now competing with workers in Chihuahua; Ford can move jobs across that

Most ICs in the organizations I’ve worked on have to fight for focus time, have long feedback cycles, have to deal with conflicts, etc. At least with a manager you’re getting paid more! The risk is slightly higher but the reward is signif

The rebels are right-wing paramilitary groups. And Germany didn’t send any weapons during 2014-2022, but she said in a Der Spiegel interview from Oct 2022 that during the Minsk negotiations, it became clear that the US’ objective was to bu
