Sometimes I feel like the universe really is a simulation and these names are the result of QA testers having a little bit of fun keeping track of who's who.

Now we have to wait for the French to have another revolution.

Charging $49.99 for each wrist band was a huge misstep in this regard. Yes, Apple does like charging high prices but the cognitive dissonance around the 'Apple Tax' is usually softened when people feel like they're getting a

I noticed two things very quickly, my arms started getting tired and I was never quite sure if I was holding my hands in the right place to have my gestures get picked up properly.

I enjoyed demoing my friend's Vision Pro but I regularly found myself displeased with the gesture controls. Once the novelty of interacting with the demo features wore off, I found myself thinking that the device was best suited as a m

While I am no apologist for the measurement system we use here in the United States, I realized something interesting when trying to explain why almost all of our units consist of easily divisible sub-units. Imagine you needed to split some

I have an internal monologue and I struggle to imagine how someone can think without one. Yet I also wonder if bypassing the need to articulate thoughts in words is actually more efficient. Do those people have a higher thought throughput

As well intentioned as this may be, I suspect the ultimate result will be to make the hiring process even worse for applicants as employers will be incentivized to avoid people who have gaps in their employment history or seem to have a pro

Squares tessellate better than hexagons so I have no idea what advantage hexagons could bring.

No need to test, just give me treatment.

I honestly thought someone posted an old April Fool's article and this was a cheeky reference to the movie Stargate.

How incredible is it that a single photograph of a single dog has had so much of an impact on culture? I also have this weird feeling I can't quite describe. This dog had no way of knowing her likeness would be seen by billions of peop

Almost a decade ago I worked for a bank and in our little corner of the organization I was rapidly becoming the "Excel Guy". While I was happy to help people, the prospect of being pigeonholed into such a role terrified me and I s

One thing that has continued to baffle me about Excel is the fact that they force worksheet tabs and the scrollbar to co-exist in the same pane. Why in the world can I not have a full horizontal scrollbar and a full width tab collection?

Steve Ballmer was hoping people would call it "the one". This was also around the time that SkyDrive had to be renamed to OneDrive due to trademark issues with Sky. I always judge corporations whenever they resort to "One&quo

I was so engrossed in the animation that I didn't notice the music.

Is there a word for feeling fascination and discomfort at the same time? These little molecular machines are so sinister.

Talc deposits are often found around asbestos ore. From what I can tell the issue is cross contamination rather than talcum powder itself being carcinogenic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talc#Association_with_asbestos

Reddit's culture fosters such a toxic discourse. I believe any LLM trained on it's data will end up being terribly sardonic and obnoxious.

by BitwiseFool 2y ago
I sense that real world people are a more serious problem when it comes to Reddit's manipulation. It seems relatively easy for a coordinated group of moderators and power-users to sway a subreddit's tone. I browse with a plugin th

What I find incredible about the progress of computing power is that there isn't anything that actually makes Moore's law a given. Engineers keep discovering advances in materials science and manufacturing that enable advancemen

Definitely worth the customer goodwill for something that is extremely unlikely to happen. Plus, for an insurance company the financial impact of replacing one house is completely routine. Yet, being able to advertise your situation would b

I've used Linux before. I like Linux. But, Windows is my native language, so to speak. I've been using Windows since childhood and quite frankly I'd like to stick with it. I know there are variations of Linux that get really

With all the shenanigans Microsoft is pulling I no longer feel any guilt or trepidation about getting an LTSC key through a gray area.

Not just a quick flip, the old-school days of working hard and being a loyal employee are long over. When the more steady routes of gaining wealth are increasingly out of reach, gambling becomes more enticing.

At the rate we're going I suspect there will be far fewer married couples.

Such things have been around for at least a decade. It didn't start with the same kind of AI that's being talked about recently, but there is a large automated scoring component: "Targets are often chosen based on metadata.&q
