So, a cool shortcut is that you can go to a website and press "Ctrl-F", which will let you search for a given string on the page. It's okay that you didn't know that! https://xkcd.com/1053/ But the

It's not that I don't like them. It's more just that some of these design considerations are not worth the effort to fret over, and if you're smart about your time, doing 1/5 of the work will get you something lik

No, it's far from the best possible font, but to its credit, it gets most aspects of typography right by just focusing on the ~1/5 of the requirements that actually really count.

"Citadel" is a name that makes headlines, for better or worse. Ken Griffin hasn't exactly lived his life in such a way as to avoid the limelight. But you're right, this is just the sort of thing that Citadel and similar

If you're going to call people ignorant, you should probably know how to spell the name of the character you're referencing.

Kept out of sight in this dismissive comment is the pressing question: What year is it? Up until four years ago, your notion of "what's necessary" was the law of the land. Starting from sometime around Hemingway, we produced

Did you read the subthread you are commenting on? The GP of your post, jatora, was literally arguing against that point. Right there. Is jatora "nobody"? Or are you illiterate (on top of belligerently having no taste)?

It also feels a bit like Sam Kriss, if you know him. Some of his writing: https://samkriss.substack.com/p/five-prophets His biography is quite interesting: https://halupedia.com/sam-kriss

Cool! I'm curious about the design. Maybe you have a "how I did it" post coming soon, or something. One question: Did you find away to get some convergence, where a newly generated page will tend to cite pages (or stubs, at l

Love it! It feels very Borges! Feature request: also be able to click on the Talk page to see the controversies. I don't always want to trust the article itself as the final word. Edit: Oh look, there's an article about the YC! h

Correct. I was making a joke, and hoped it would be clear. > snidely-whiplash-esque I do hope this whole thing ends with someone saying "curses, foiled again!"

There's a boundary between knowing vs. forgetting that it's a metaphor. When you use convenient language like in your examples, you tend to remain aware of the difference, or at least you can recall it when asked. When some people

I'm reacting to the supernatural claim -- this lottery in an antechamber before birth. The commenter had likely absorbed that claim from the culture, without ever realizing it could be questioned. (That's how all religions work, n

This is slander! I am not an ex-art student! :) I would agree that "it's not my bag" is a fine thing to say about some art gallery piece that fails to inspire you, but when a statue is foisted upon the public square, with pos

Thanks for drawing the distinction. For the record, I do not think Banksy is a hack (noun), and he has done good stuff in the past. I'm merely saying that this piece under discussion is hack (adjective).

It's only "for no good reason" if you think art doesn't matter.

Sure he can. Both of them have flags, and all flags are bad. They blow in your face and make you dumb. Why can't world be less dumb? So many dumb flag people. I do art.

> the fact that the flag is unadorned (which/whose flag is it?), and the man is unknown, makes me think this statue could be the ultimate Rorschach test This is part of what's obvious. The whole thing, including this oooh aahh

Yeah, I think you're right. It's like when you ask it, "which weighs more, 10 pounds of feathers or 100 pounds of rocks", and it's like, "obviously they both weigh the same, I've heard this one". Ther

Absolutely not! > How would it read? Sounds like you don't really care for this idea, so maybe just have Claude write it for you.

Holy crap, I only just saw your license agreement. Oh no. We've argued on here before, although this time we're in agreement. Please don't use this hidden license to dox me! (It's an unenforceable joke, right? There&#x27

Caring enough to put in the effort of thinking and writing is not a "tangential issue". Laziness is a substantive defect, and sadly, I think that kelseyfrog has clocked this one correctly. There are borderline cases, but the caden

What a fun little essay. It takes a lot of skill to write such a nonlinear story of ideas and history, and to have the structure and the actual point emerge gradually like this. It also takes some attention and some faith on the part of the

Tapping a hardware guy as CEO sends a good signal, at least to me, looking in from the outside. The company is leading from its strength, and getting back to its roots. I wonder how Woz feels today, seeing this. But somewhere in the mix, Ap
