So the styling and animation work looks really cool (when isolated), but they distract from the content itself, IMO. I think it'd work better if you featured the animated background effect toward the top of the page and…
They're just so handy! I do think LLMs tend to use them in a specific way, though. So maybe tweaking your usage (ex. no spaces around them) or using a technically incorrect en-dash might offer the desired effect while…
I mean, I largely agree with the sentiment (friction is important for growth/happiness, after all). But even as a developer, I'm able to quickly whip up custom personal apps that I just wouldn't be able to justify the…
Absolutely. I was homeschooled growing up, and my parents were fairly strict about screentime. We read anything we could get our hands on, and I feel like I'm a happier, healthier adult today because of it. While I'm…
So I'm not personally on the spectrum, but I definitely get the frustration with "this is so fake; why are we all pretending it's not?" experiences. But "almost all praise is fake" and "small talk is all lies" feels…
I've struggled at times with various app blockers and limits. Most of them are just a little too easy to disable — or they prevent usage altogether. AppBlock on Android has a feature that allows you to continue using an…
Yeah, I see language like this a lot, but we don't live in an idealized microeconomic market with perfect information flow and competition levels. Some companies are in highly competitive spaces while others have found…
Also — it's objectively a better search product to give users what they're looking for right away. Though that's not to say they're acting altruisticly here. Google seems to be racing toward a new dark pattern where…
Neither conservative nor Mormon, but online gambling is an addictive scourge that ruins lives, and I'd love to see it banned broadly. And go ahead and ban paid loot boxes as well. I don't love casinos or lotteries, but…
I take your point, but aren't most social interactions technically manipulative through this lens? If you wear nice clothes and exercise, then are you just trying to manipulate people into thinking you have taste and…
Really curious how many people actually get close to that level of usage? Their general business plan only offers the $100 version, with pay-as-you-go above that. If 95% of people are using $100 of value a month, the…
Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson tackle this specific example (along with others) in their book Abundance that came out last year. It's a pretty easy read, and a really interesting examination of why projects like this…
100% agree with you here. Psychologically, I'm pretty convinced that the best spaces on the internet (and potentially off of it) require some small amount of friction for quality conversation and collaboration. Comment…
Why do you think people dislike AI-generated content? It's not because AI-generated music inherently sucks. It's generally C-grade professional music. It's just not novel or especially interesting, and the low barrier…

So, philosophically speaking, I agree with this approach. But I did read that there was some speculation regarding the future legal implications of signalling that an AI wrote/cowrote a commit. I know Anthropic's been…
CVS. Refilling a prescription is a very easy process now; I was really surprised.
Not OP, but my understanding is that voting for politicians who prioritize more sustainable policies and advocating for industry regulation to cut down on things like single-use plastics (or promoting EV…
Any documentation regarding the claim about breaking their contract? Haven't heard that. Regardless, as someone who works with these models daily (as well as company leadership that loves AI more than they understand…
I think it's really dependent on the software. And frankly, with the current rate of development, I feel like this continues to shift. No, a non-engineer can't just spin up the next great app. Even with the newest…
I mean, obviously. But when was the last time our "democratic values" were under attack by a foreign country and actually needed defending? 9/11? Pearl Harbor? Maybe I'm missing something. We have a giant military and a…
Station Eleven is so beautiful and human. Great pick. Highly recommend The Leftovers if you liked that one. Its exploration of life and grief and humanity following a secular rapture is stunning, and the performances…
I'm not an Elon fan at all, and I'm highly skeptical of Tesla's robotaxi efforts in general, but the context here is that only one of these seems like a true crash? I'm curious how crashes are reported for humans,…
For my company, being able to view the user journey throughout the site in the analytics is pretty valuable. We don't care who the specific users are - but the tracking gives us an idea of how many people use the site?…
