Sabine has a summary and opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm1B3Y3ypoE
Yes, I'm a big fan of Bret Victor's work. I share his Inventing on Principle talk on a near yearly basis. I've seen light table years ago and thought it looked really neat, but I haven't looked into it much as it wasn't…
I love this. Probably because I've been thinking of similar ideas for what seems like the last decade, I just have coders block when it comes to actually implementing it. Seeing it (well something like it) actually…
I believe pilot study here means: small-scale preliminary study, not vehicle pilots.
I don't remember that happening, I think I wasn't watching the news much during that period in my life. But I did hear about it in past year after reading Quinn's books and following some mental threads afterwards. Wild…
Ishmael or My Ishmael touches on this subject. Thank you for reminding me. I forget exactly, but, the basic idea is primitive people didn't have all these laws about what to do. They expected you to behave, and if you…
Where did you read this? (I'd like to know more)
from: https://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html How many megapixels equivalent does the eye have? The eye is not a single frame snapshot camera. It is more like a video stream. The eye moves rapidly in small…
From the about: "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew…
Looks useful. Suggestion: as a non-paying user I don't immediately know what the chat tab does. You can find out under the pricing tab but it's not obvious where to find this information. Might be good to say what it…
I think behaving as if there is no free will is such a change from how I was raised and how 99.99% of society believes and functions, would require some Buddha-level strength of will, which I don't possess. It's so…
I don't believe in free will. I haven't really for about 20 years or so. However, I act as if I do, as I've always done. It's a habit I choose not to break. Changing to act as I believe would be too much for me to…
Yeah that could possibly be it. If I run into again I could try clearing caches. And also wanted to mention that since firefox is what I use daily, of course I will mainly see issues there. If I used chrome daily…
I'm not sure if these are examples of dropped support, but I run into issues on websites that prevent me from doing something I really need to do: - I could not unsubscribe from amazon prime yesterday using firefox. The…
I think what they mean is that, someone knowing what is happening in the world, and being able to discuss those things, could be seen as them being part of a certain level/caste in society. Being able to discuss issues,…
This seems like a "me too" comment, but I agree on family sharing being fairly poor for most (IMO) families. I still love steam, but I was really excited to share my library of 300 games with my son who just got a steam…
I'm sure you're correct for a lot of metrics, but to say every metric is declining might be wrong. Homelessness is going up slowly but surely: https://www.statista.com/statistics/555795/estimated-number-... Is this a…
Thanks John. I'm immediately excited by this project. I love the idea of alfred et. al. but there's always something lacking about them: it's difficult to do plugins, or they're done in a language I don't know, or…
I know this is off topic, but how do people assess the risks of installing an extension like this? The permissions allow "access your data for all websites" which includes reading passwords you type into fields. This…
I think if you watched 10% of a movie (which streaming platforms can track) and decided you didn't want to watch it, yeah. A good service provider would give you your money back. Would 1% of people take advantage of…
I've found the clipboard to be a highly flexible tool, that seems under-used. As an example, I've extended my game engine editor to draw any position in 3d that I have in the clipboard. So when problems happen and are…
They also have view cones, which are: "a policy enforced by the City of Vancouver that limits the heights of the buildings to protect sight lines of the North Shore mountains from a number of arbitrary perspectives"…
Although I have no evidence to back this up, I believe many try to imitate film (or expect something) in their romantic life, which ends up with them having bad expectations and disappointment.
Thanks for the detailed response. I too generally feel bad using most social media (doomscrolling, etc..), but there's probably a lot of other things I do on the computer that make me feel bad, I just have not noticed.…
This is a very interesting way to use a computer. I'm currently exploring other sorts of novel(?) ways of using computers, so this intrigues me. What tools do you use for sentiment analysis?
