How can we solve this problem, of the current state of the internet, without reverting to the compromises of the past? This has been on my mind for a while. The layer of trash some companies have built over the internet has been ruinous.

Fascinating. I wonder if this will help change the growing apathy toward vaping in enclosed spaces.

I still miss launchpad. Which is made worse by the fact the spotlight has become terrible. Safari is unusable due to some weird sync that happens whenever I open a new window ( i dont use tabs) and adding bookmarks takes about 10-15 seconds

Fossil-fuel subsidies from governments totalled $7trn in 2022. Thats about 7% of global GDP. The world spends 4% of GDP on education. Source Monocle Magazine no.190 page 88. There is a lot to unpack here and also an obvious solution.

Also, I have to add, this project is an excellent piece of work.

This was depressing. But, also, I can't figure why AI companies are valued so high. The models will reach a limit (ie for what most people want to use a model for), and compute will increase over time.

The reason the iPhone is so successful is because Apple don't let us use it as a "entire" computer. I am just glad, that we can still run a proper OS on a proper computer. If they made a modified iPad OS for their baby laptop

The Macbook 12 inch was a relatively better laptop than this. An "re"-launch of equivalent for today, really would have been something. This is half-baked compared to the innovation that was there.

It does seem an easy win for govts to easily conform. I buy the ones that are suitable for dimmable switches (even tho I don't have dimmers) because there is discernible flicker with most other LED bulbs if you for eg wave your arm thr
