Yeah, in the other direction, I see at least one WWII-era "pillbox" bunker in France (part of the Marginot Line?) listed as "fortress". It's a nice idea, but the range seems extremely broad on the one hand but very

Misunderstood that as "moist towel museum" first and was worried for a moment.

My first impression after viewing was that this is less "owning the harms" and more simple "leading and pacing". Note how the voiceovers start with hard, even fundamental criticism of AI, including "why do we need t

Won't say this is all, but I think there are some design decisions that actively push it away from that: - No DMs - A UI that strongly deemphasizes specific posters and emphasizes messages in an abstract "discussion tree" - N

It's trite, but I think a part of it is "because the internet happened" - and I don't mean just today's enshittification era but also the "good old times" everyone seems to remember fondly here. At some po

There seems to be some general pattern here that you can find pretty often in "dev war stories" contexts: (1) We're a small startup/new product team/etc, let's just build the MVP and keep everything simple! (2)

Are there any "funny" combinations in that list that don't involve toilet humor?

by xg15 3mo ago
I imagine people either buy single bananas as a quick snack or bananas in bulk for breakfast. (Ignoring the "funny" uses here). I wonder if this kind of irregular pattern is a reflection on people's breakfast habits.

Starting to think the data center protesters are on to something. Instead of sitting there, thinking wistfully how the world is going to shit, but we can't do anything, not even stopping ourselves from participating, they do something.

Maybe they call any kind of algorithm that accesses the content of media (e.g. pixel colors) and not just metadata "AI" now?

Ah, thanks for the info they are different emoji and the diagram is just wrong. Was thinking the same how such a redesign could lead to misunderstandings.

by xg15 3mo ago
Thanks! That other link was much more informative. I think it's a bit annoying that for some emoji, they still change the content and not just the style. It's not as bad as the "gun/watergun controversy", but I th

Always found it a bit strange that USB-C is referred to as a "new connector" when it clearly seems to be an entirely new protocol. (Unlike the previous new connectors mini and micro which were just differently-shaped plugs for th

I never got the logic of "I don't like this thing, so why does it exist?" Others might not have a choice than to take the train or use public healthcare (or maybe you or me too, depending on how life turns out), and for that

It doesn't fall to zero, but for some people, there is still a difference between playing a game directly after release when everyone is figuring out and talking about it vs playing it years later. It's the same as watching a movi

I like how, if you hold the phone at a distance, but not as far as intended by the font, your brain sort of mixes letters from both messages. I was at some point reading SAPPY ROMAN, HARPY ROBAN etc. Also, viewing the "hidden message&q

Was confused about this as well. The whole thing sounds as if someone confused LLMs writing code and inspecting or executing that code - and then ran with it. Still, the idea of mostly formal code with dedicated sections that the LLM fills

Maybe that's what "durable" means in economic jargon? A good that does not (or only very slowly) lose value over time? If that what it means, Steam would not apply, because games were by that definition very much not durable.
