I didn’t blame the administration for starting Pre-Check: I’m faulting them for not ending it, instead adding another feature to it. The new gate access is free - for TSA Pre-Check enrollees. Meaning this will increase demand for the servic

Instead of rolling back the ineffective and draconian security measures to pre-2001, they simply decided to monetize it. That tracks for this administration.

I wish nothing but success to Tarn and Zach, it’s great that releasing on Steam and adding a friendlier UI helped the game reach new audiences. It’s the proverbial time black hole.

I remember in 2006 when online sports gambling was banned, and witnessed first hand some sleaze bags flee to Costa Rica where many of the actual operations were located. What I witnessed regarding addiction and exploitation put me off sport

> I do not see AI taking jobs, I see it more as everyone got a great secretary/junior to offload 'busy' work onto. I’m afraid that your perspective is flawed. There are many jobs whose output can’t be enhanced by offloadin

Timely, just this morning I took an interest in Obsidian and the immediate query about it being open source returned a disappointing “no”. So count me in to try this one.

Becoming aware of typography practices will drive you insane. The world is full of atrocities. Live in bliss. But still buy the calculator :)

I had some credits sitting on Audible doing nothing, so I picked this up out of curiosity about Mr. Yudkowsky's reputation as an irredeemable AI pessimist. Hopefully this is better than the AI Doc film, which was borderline insulting.

Am I supposed to take The Department of Defense seriously when the presentation of these alleged real findings looks like a website best described as marketing for the Call of Duty crowd?

Microsoft has historically made poor choices in product naming, but this has to be a new low.

Thanks for sharing Bookshelves. It’s great.

It would require an administration that had a modicum of care for the average consumer/taxpayer, and the current one isn’t it.

What is this? An AI generated article based on a podcast? Are you serious?

I will take a wild risk here and say that… it’s probably by design.

I grew up in the 80s/90s further south, and still the film was very much a high fidelity memory playing on-screen. The production design will never be fully appreciated by people that didn’t live that time, it was truly special.

This is really unfortunate. Google Fiber has maintained a low, no-nonsense price for years with near-perfect uptime, and besides the odd upselling email, they have never really pushed upgrades. More importantly, I can use my own hardware wi

I have to be honest - build a blog and post your thoughts. Human thoughts, your ideas, the projects, the tips, and the art. Just add more human voices to the internet. We need them.

Engineering is never the bottleneck… until it is. I have at this very moment months of completed design features that engineering should have already implemented if they were not in a constant churn of refactoring, reorganizing and spiking

My mental health improved in meaningful ways when I dropped all social media close to a decade ago. Now I can feel the impact when someone insists I look at some shared item they sent me on Instagram or whatever. I´d rather not return to al

Definitely a perfect timing situation, though with substantial risk. Considering the time the game was in development, an alternative could have showed up in the market. However, I believe Stardew Valley’s appeal wasn’t simply of fulfilling

This seems like a breach of publishing terms / loss of confidence on Colossal Order. They released CSII in late 2013 clearly unfinished and unoptimized, delayed paid DLC expansion and content for nearly 2 years and there seems to be no

The only solution for that - all caveats and compromises considered - was paving over Windows with Linux. I tried to be patient. Yet Microsoft is hellbent on justifying their AI investments to shareholders by sacrificing their user base at

I wonder if Apple’s doomed car project distracted them from creating a viable CarPlay strategy with OEMs. CarPlay Ultra looked like the salvageable part of that failure and it was too late then.

This would be the next step for flight simulators, which while remarkable still require handmade assets for accurate details.

I am disappointed by this development, as the precedent for this business model is out there for anyone to see. But I have little to add about that What I do hope to see is more talent and investment contributed to OSS tools. It would reall

I was seriously irritated with Windows 11 for the past few months. If my PC went to sleep, it would wake up and freeze at the logon screen. The constant updates that would reset some preferences - and worse, reinstall CoPilot and OneDrive -

Frank himself, you can get a clear picture of the ecosystem as outlined here by the end of Children of Dune. One (possible) omission here - the sand trout traps water underground by linking and forming dams around water pockets - that’s the

Interesting to see it crop up here. I met Ms. Covert when she released the book and have a signed copy around here somewhere. It remains relevant as ever, and has value well beyond UX practices. It’s a short read too, I recommend it.

I suspect this is happening due to the nano-banana image model becoming available to the general public. As a designer/artist, the generative image models’ impact on my field has been disastrous and depressing. For the average person,
