And what if it's a self-driving car? :)
It's a good example. If I hired a hitman to murder someone, and they broke into a private property and stole something so that they can action the murder (which I didn't know about or pay them to do), I would be guilty…
Self-destruction, via small acts of self-sabotage. Next day, your inner critic and saboteur tell you something along the lines of: "You shouldn't go today - you're tired, there's so much work that you should do instead,…
Yeah, same - I tried the M5 Pro randomly while waiting for my daughter to finish salivating over a Neo, and just got surprised by how quickly it opened apps and reacted to anything I did - ~1-1.5 seconds for Affinity…
Absolutely agree - happened on MBP, 2 generations of iPads, and Watch...For iPads and Watch, I thought that it might just be the famous battery health vs performance tradeoff they enforce on us, but I rarely ever used…
To be clear, I'm definitely not saying that MacOS is now bad - it's absolutely still a pretty good OS. But, personally, I do have a couple of gripes, and my feeling is that things are changing in the opposite direction…
CachyOS with KDE...it's been amazingly fast, dependable, stable, customizable, polished (yes, really)...
I was blown away by M1 Pro, and used it for 4 years before it became a little sluggish, and replacing it with an Asus S16 running on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (an excellent laptop). One of the main reasons was missing my old…

"Meant" is the problem here - if you think "meant" by your mentioned "manipulator", then yes - the elites are evidently holding that worldview for millennia. But "meant" - as in "natural order of things" / "higher…
I...have to agree about siding against the web...An optimistic part of me sees this as a move that pushes in the same direction that the "web" has already been going in for a long time - preventing users from getting…
I've never heard it mixed (not from US)... "Is bear a Catholic?" doesn't seem very funny. But a notion that everyone knows how Pope is regularly shitting in the woods absolutely is :)
And do you feel that the industry in general, and individual companies are currently trying to augment / 10x their workers and have everyone share in the 10x profits that will bring? Or are they jumping on opportunity…
Thanks for a thoughtful and longer-form reply. All of these ideas absolutely make sense - and their challenges and compromises could be worked on, of course. But, even starting to think about each of them, I can't…
Why do you think that is? Hint: taxing people buying food, which is getting worse and worse, while the top 0.01% gets more and more rich and keeps making it worse, is maybe not the solution people should embrace that…
I switched from M1 MBP to Asus Zenbook S16 with Ryzen HX370. A bit better performance, better screen, design, comparable battery, ok keyboard... I switched mostly because I was missing my previous Linux setup. But that…
WordPress is the most popular CMS, and, at any moment in time, especially lately, there are a lot of people looking for a "WP alternative". I agree that it's not actually compatible, but it seems they tried to make it…
Moving the goalpost / strawman, and appeal to emotion. Please learn to discuss without resorting to these kinds of methods. All the best to you.
For "no reason" - hah, this must be the most blatant ignoring of reality I've seen in this thread, and that's a very high bar to cross. To be clear, I have nothing to do with neither Israel nor Iran, and am sympathetic…
Not sure if you realize that you could easily be talking about Israel.
I always make sure to consider there are 2 sides to the story and details and nuance make all the difference in how the actual situation unfolded - but it's really, really, difficult to imagine a scenario in which…
I'm not sure how much that will pay off - it also gives China legitimacy in starting to much more overtly pursue their own interests through force. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if we saw something happening very…
A similar scenario to this played out in Yugoslavia and overthrowing of the previously proven, and definitely not 90% manufactured "evil, genocidal and dictatorship regime" of Slobodan Milosevic. A lot of people…
Looks great and congrats on building and shipping a well-rounded and usable product. Looking forward to trying it out this evening.
Thank you for the heartfelt reply - I wish to apologize for crude assumptions I made. My view of how people are getting affected by AI and choosing to degrade values that should matter for a bit of convenience - has…
