It’s one of those cases where the label has stayed the same, but the thing it commonly describes has changed so much that the word just has multiple completely different meanings. There’s the “let’s create National…
My sexual awakening was centered around browsing the adult section of Newgrounds when I was way too young. 25 years later and I’m still a bit messed up in that regard, lol
I think the inertia of familiar input devices is way too high for something like that to gain any sort of traction. For better or for worse, the mainstream user is probably not leaving his QWERTY keyboard and his…
That’s the more likely hypothesis, but I also wonder if different land management practices could be influencing a map like this. Agriculture in Poland is much more fragmented than in Germany - smaller fields of…
If it was a touchscreen, then the whole project could just be replaced by googling Conway’s game of life on an iPad. The physicality is the point.
The scale of this would need to be unfathomable. Doesn’t YouTube get something like 100 years of video uploads every day? You’d need hundreds of thousands of people working full time to review that much footage manually.
They don’t actually give a shit whether you find what you were looking for, they heavily optimize for their time-on-site metric. If the search results were terrible, and you had to refine your terms and try again,…
I like to avoid the risks of processed foods by simply not being hungry.
Aren’t birth rates already at a historical low in most parts of the world?
Isn’t that the plot of an episode of Always Sunny?
That’s a solved problem, you just add another agent to check if the tests are any good, and one more to oversee the test-checker, and one more…
If I did have kids, I probably wouldn’t want them to run around a big heavy robot with very little spatial awareness.
Very interesting topic, but a strange choice of source. I'd recommend these instead: Coller foundation press release: https://www.jeremycollerfoundation.org/news-and-insights/pre... The actual publication in Science:…
A point mutation is very unlikely to produce “the next Einstein”, it’ll just produce someone with one slightly different protein in their gut.
> For example, in the old days, the internet was scarce, so people had the sense that their online self and their real-life self were the same. I’d argue the opposite. On the old internet we all used nicknames, and…
I don’t think the analogy was the issue. What does it mean for a system to be so transparent that it’s obvious when it’s compromised?
I’m at a large Fortune 500 company. On a recent call, a mandate came from the CEO himself - “we have to use more agentic AI”. And I found it really funny, because for what? Use it for what? It’s a tool. Imagine a guy…
Lawyers run the US, I don’t think anything that reduces the country’s dependence on them has any chance of widespread adoption.
What I’m seeing in that link is that the organization pays 16 people a total of $3.6 million.
> There’s almost always a better alternative for those who value having something better. That alternative comes with a $60/year subscription these days, though.
Similarly, I sometimes daydream about those ancient law systems that were so simple that they could be engraved on a stone pillar and placed in a public area. Could you imagine a legal system that can be read and…
Isn’t this just something that any IDE has built-in these days? Maybe I’m missing something, but how is this fundamentally different from the built-in git timeline view from something like VSCode or Jetbrains?
This might be an unkind reading, but to me this just sounds like an attempt to reinvent the very same kind of mysticism that it mentions in the first paragraph. “No need to study the world around you and wonder about…
> How would a touchscreen MacBook improve on something? It won’t, but there’s now an entire generation of users who get confused and angry if any kind of display doesn’t react when you poke it with your finger.
That’s not OCD, it’s just paying attention to detail.
