I'd wonder instead if anyone still thinks of USA as the good guys of the world. In these days where information (and disinformation) happens fast, propaganda can only cover reality up to a point.
I'm not buying that. We know vices are bad not because they're immoral, but because they are harmful to the self and others. Knowing what's harmful doesn't require imaginary superadults, just common sense.
How does that even work in a democracy that has systemic flaws, where the elections boil down to which candidate had the most financial support? USA's democracy is beyond fixing, it needs a complete refactoring amd…
According to this widely cited comic strip, if you are over 30 and didn't know it, you should be ashamed.
Fun fact: a tortilla, being made of cereal flour, is classified as a bread. That means tacos are sandwiches. At least culinarily, but actually coded in law in Indiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich#Language
But the ones that repackage as part of improvement are the ones that usually stick. Repackaging as a lesser product only works if your brand strength is being cheap.
Counter example: The Internet - Nerds build something nice - They can't touch us here - Stop touching us! I'm leaving!
It's even simpler than that IMO. There are still nerds creating things out of love for creating something useful and clean, but as soon as it becomes successful, the smell of (potential) money attracts parasites, and…
I feel a little pain seeing how big, fully-formed apps appear in GitHub, created in days, completely hollow of pull requests, issues, or discussions.. just imagining the chain of prompts. "Make me a web app like…
Neo wasn't an elightened being, he just escalated privileges.
Getting in the flow means continuous, deep concentration and attention, at least in my experience. Prompting and checking is more like managing an underling, I couldn't get in the flow that way. It would be like a…
This has the same energy as people who don't care if controversial images in social media are AI generated, as long as they're engaging. It makes a huge difference if the writing was manual or automated. LLMs generate…
The "my train" convention is an interesting argument. It's not actually yours, you're buying a train-as-a-service single-use license, and there are tiers to that too. I guess the main difference is that TAAS has many…
I didn't get mine, but I suspect I might be using yours when I use it.
It hurts, doesn't it? I also thought a few measly questions would be a piece of cake, and mainly focused on speed.
Isn't this a work-life balance issue? I work 8 hours a day on my work computer(s), yet I'm still eager to use my home computer for hobbies or pleasure. This person could read for pleasure if they set the time for it.…
I was skeptical, but the article starts with Train Dreams, which according to HowLongToRead, would take 2 hours at 300 WPM. https://howlongtoread.com/books/323872/Train-Dreams Two days per book full time means one every…
If someone has the will to fight those little xs, they have the will to install uBlock Origin. It even works on iPad and iPhone now, through a regular Safari Plugin.
I'd like to know more about the operator, besides them being from USA. Having the data in Iceland sounds great, but we should be wary of any new service designed specifically to attract confidential conversations.
When I see "Beautiful", I automatically ignore it. Beauty is subjective, fashion changes. Bootstrap or React were considered beautiful in their time. So basically an open source agentic GUI. Instead of "beautiful", it…
Maybe "You are an expert editor. Polish this article for X demographic. Make no mistales."? But jokes aside, I too prefer genuine human writing. Writing is complex enough that you can see a distinct style even if it's…
This is my take too. Hotels wouldn't be happy if a robot knocked a water jar on the carpet, or scratched a wall, but a home owner? We're doing it for free and you asked for it! Hotel's girl management might be more…
There's a lot, A LOT of money in play here. Technical reasons are usually the cause, but I wouldn't completely discard sabotage if there's some way they could get away with it, if only to improve procedures.
I think it's not a moral, but financial judgement. Unless an alternate income is achieved before that deadline, becoming destitute except for a small cottage is not a great prospect.
Humans beings are hardwired to be unhappy, and IMO this has helped civilization's progress, even if individuals are unhappy. No matter how good we have it, eventually we normalize it, become bored, and find something to…
