The fact that they’ve made this incident report so marketing sexy gives me the ick.

This is really fun. Scaler 3 starts with a chord progression and lets you break it down into musical performances and parts. Useful for ideation when producing. Would be fun to get a midi clock going and play some chords on my piano and hav

Given that this is the internet, I highly suspect the author has left out a category.

1. Desire is a contract to be unhappy until you get what you want. 2. Happiness is only ever available now. 3. You were never broken; that was a thought. 4. Your gut is a lifetime of data arriving before the argument. 5. Say no to almost ev

I fear there’s no coming back. When convenience destroys a culture, I’m not sure you’re ever able to get ever get the heart of it back. Especially when it was the network effects that made it special. I’ve read the recommendations in the co

I probably should have just included it in the post, because now I’m replying the same thing hoping someone finds it… I don’t think it’s BSS unless there are EPs from before what’s on Spotify. It was more punk rock than BSS, I think. From t

I selfishly wanted to but: 1. It’s a little besides the point 2. I didn’t want to embarrass myself with how badly I remember it. Anyway, here’s my shot: Male singer + (from other comment) It was pretty alt-grungy (something like TV on The R

It was pretty alt-grungy (something like TV on The Radio or Blockparty at the time). Lyric I remember is from a song starting with something along the lines of: throw away your newspaper/ no more bad news today.

The thing I miss most, and the thing we’ll never get back was the cultural buy-in and network effects. My music discovery then was different friend groups incrementally amassing large collections of albums in whatever sub-culture that frien

I worked for some years in cancer prevention. Last year, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. My family largely agrees with this article: treatment was a mistake and likely worse than the disease (bar palliative care and a stent). The

Thanks! Great idea to use configurator. Turning my iPhone into a dumb phone has been one of the best things I ever did. My relationship with my phone was weird (using it for distraction from anxiety, zoning out on it etc) and all this has g

On the contrary, I spoke with a local coffee shop branch owner who said that squatters are essential to keeping the space lively, popular, and “cool.” This atmosphere draws in passersby and casual visitors, who are the real source of their

The problem is… When (if) we pick up the phone today it’s because we want to speak to a human. Most people, avoid phone calls if possible. If I get a call and it’s an AI, I, like everybody else, is putting down. If I’m picking up the phone

I had deep-access to this industry in a past career - the way online sportbooks talk about their customers in private is all you need to know to know that this isn’t business, it’s predation.

It’s only Lean Startup methodology if the lies stay limited to consumers; otherwise, it’s just sparkling securities fraud.

I loved this footnote: “I followed up by asking GPT-4o to draw “Explain who the enemy is”, and it generated an image with nothing except the word “SELF” in bold letters on a beige background. Odd.” While this might have just been 4o guessin

Humans are incredibly perceptive, and the soft robotic buzz (as in the demos) will do as much to diminish rapport as a foreign accent.

I learned on this. It’s near perfect. Nothing to say but thank you!

Hard to pull off! But I imagine the wave of Bryan Johnson fans would be game.

Great experiment! It’s important to highlight that even in rigorously blinded studies which find a drug ineffective on average, there can still be genuine responders—this is known scientifically as “heterogeneous treatment effects.” Essenti

My favorite part was my iPhone struggling to run this thing once it got busy, and me desperate to not lose the game. Took me back to the old days!

Graphene seems to be like a hotshot actor who lands a million auditions but somehow never makes it past a walk-on role in a toothpaste commercial.

Yesterday I laughed with my brother about how harsh people on the internet were about World Labs launch (“you can only walk three steps, this demo sucks!”). I was thinking, “this was unthinkable a few years ago, this is incredible”. People

It has no problem talking about the terrorists other names (Akhmed the One-armed). Then bombs out when talking about his aliases.

Agreed. Reads as a bit of a gotcha. But wouldn’t we expect and want humans to be in the loop here?

Ya that’s true. I guess I’m imagining the “25%” being pushed towards 4chan type environments, and perhaps then a subset of that towards more dangerous environments.
