Why can’t people even write their own product descriptions without AI anymore???

Hyperbolic as those descriptions are, it’s not like they’re not sourced from reality. Sam Altman’s reputation in SV is well-established; Musk promised the roadster what, a decade ago? These guys preach a promised land of milk and honey and

Unfortunately I don't particularly care for SV. I left my heart in San Francisco. I love the fog, the density, the hills, the food, the diversity, the transit, and the ocean. Silicon Valley has some of that, and it's in close enou

Oh, I've never thought that Florida was uninteresting. Florida is nothing but ~interesting~.

SF is my favorite city in the world, but as a tech worker in a flyover state I've given up on it being anything but a nice place to visit. I couldn't afford it alone, let alone with my family.

Do you find jobs that allow you to take sabbatical? Or do you leave jobs and find new ones for each expedition you do?

I think you care way too much about this topic.

It's almost like having a quasi-public utility instead of just, I don't know, a public utility? is a bad idea!

"I don't fear surveillance because I don't break the law!" is the rallying cry of the current privileged class. Laws change. This was such a weak interview, I recognize this is a car podcast and Joel's not an invest

USDA says that 13.7% of US households experienced food insecurity in 2024 [0]. Extrapolate that against population and you get 47 million people. [0]: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/fo...

Yeah, well said. Journalism and news is tough because at its core it's a public good, but all of the usual levers we have in modern society for funding and supporting public goods introduce all sorts of other problems. If it's onl

What’s your point? There’s a lot of people who can’t or won’t do a lot of things.

It's also because television producers found alternative revenue streams that allow them to sell the TVs for less while still making more. If you look for a TV without all of the adware/bloatware/spyware you can see the true

What’s the production mvp app that ai made in 30 minutes then? That was the original question no?

The original comment asked for someone to name one and you didn’t, though.

The popups are absolutely massive, too. It’s infuriating.

My first real interaction with a computer in any technical way was trying to get Age of Mythology to work after I lost my activation key. I won't say that I miss those experiences, but they were foundational as h*ck for me.

Yeah the movie’s got warts but if you allow for some plot holes and accept that young Flynn is completely 2D (maybe a meta joke for Tron? Nah just poor writing) the movie rips.

I think OpenType allows for this! Most font designers don’t take advantage though, since even two variants per glyph means 2x the design work and 2x the file size. It would be cool to see it done more though.

Not just that, universities (especially smaller research universities) love having grad students whose research is paid for. China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil (less so now than in the past), Qatar, and others have all had programs for years where

If you enjoyed this I'd highly recommend checking out A Semiology of Graphics[0]. I was a little surprised to not see it mentioned in the article, but I recognize the article was less about types of data visualization than it was about

I think OP's being hyperbolic, but defending an idea that is dangerous at worst and immature at best doesn't do much to forward creativity, entrepreneurship, or engineering. Engineers who build products that put people (or their d
