My take, is that this effect has removed a lot of the micro communications we make - not necessarily random conversations. It’s taken away random moments that may trigger a short small conversation with strangers. In part it’s taking away t

A misconception is that chess is all memory. If you look at some of the research, it’s learning to remember patterns, not all the moves. Eg when they tested good chess players on random board positions they were just as good as people that

The mesh in version one lasted just over 12 months. Repair bill at Apple was 90% of the cost of a new pair. Truly the worst built product I’ve bought from Apple. Never again.

Singapore to a tea. Spooky that I had a similar path, Sydney -> HK -> New York -> Singapore. Crescendo-ing up to New York, then off a cliff into a full blow school-like world (but great trains).

Super strange when there are several on the front page, older, with less votes and less comments. To say it’s off topic is a little narrow minded given the current environment

Anecdata- I did this as a 13 year old in the 90s. My old man came upon it after I was repeatedly ending up in hospital in Australia with asthma as a kid. I think there was a presentation in a local scout hall! I didn’t understand the histor

The App Store is an absolute sh!t hole of an experience. Irrelevant ads, impossible to find anything decent. It’s the internet of 1998 pre google.

It’s crazy you can pay for premium, which is not cheap, and you can’t disable shorts. The number of times I clicked “show less” and it has zero effect on the number of shorts.

The big problem is that it’s shit and terrible UX. We should stop complicating feedback :)

started with overland (was great, but hurt the battery a lot) - there was an iOS app for it. I then just moved on to PSObserver as it was self contained, I could export off my phone. I also augmented with running google maps background for

Don’t know if you have seen the work DuckDB is doing on ducklake. Maybe there is an overlap in vision for versioning data across multiple data sources - and similar to SQLite it’s not proprietary and easily drilled down on. I’m sorry, don’t

I replay liked the design of NLM, and thought it was a great implementation of using LLMs beyond a simple chat. Well done.

I use them too for similar uses. Brilliant. I also use zero AI. I don’t care. I totally understand ppl not buying them because they are meta. I get it.

Australian politics is very much in favour of throwing around a lot of Red herrings. Eg get the conversation, media and public focussed on unimportant issues as a way to distract from the fact they are incompetent to deal with big issues. G

Apple Photos has fallen into this trap as well. As a user, you have no way to see if a photo has been "scanned" with smart features and what it has detected (e,g found person x, found dog, blue sky, beach etc). Trips features, has

I agree that in principle, it's great that spending is being checked and payments "audited" (I have no clue if thats actually what is happening, I assume it's no KPMNG audit). However, are they really being audited? Is t
