This is like the first rule of working with clients -- what the client says they want is often not what they truly want.

Imagine what human researchers could have done with 10 millions... Maybe it wouldn't have been as fast, but I'm sure it would have created more usable knowledge because the work done by humans is usually more digestible to other h

I hate products that want me to find a use-case for their feature that they wanted to develop. It's great that some people love AI features, but for me, they are rarely solving an actual problem I have. But now I have to relearn th

I am also a native German and have heard it a lot in my lifetime. Of course not daily, but it is definitely still used today.

Yeah, no, it means wanting to make things better but ending up making them worse.

Of course it is still widely used.

There is an argument to be made though that writing stuff down yourself results in better retention than simply reading the same material. People still write by hand and take notes. And they still process ideas and thoughts verbally. Doing

Well, you need a font that is single-line by design. Then it works just fine. There are some single-line default fonts, too. For filling shapes, there is no automated cross-hatch or anything, that's true, but you could create such a pa

We could start by taxing capital gains progressively, similar to salaries. In my country, you pay a flat 25% no matter if you make one dollar or a billion. Why should a worker have to give away up to 50% of their salary when people with cap

The Witcher 3 is great in German. It actually suits the game a lot better than English imo.

You'll find that Scandinavian countries are not readily welcoming foreigners into their social circles either.

German films are mostly not great, but if one wants to get immersed into the language, music and literature are much better places. And also comedy. The language allows for some great puns.

No. This is what capitalists want you to believe. The truth is that we are all subsiziding the capital gains of the wealthiest 2%. You could easily pay for generous social security programs by taxing property and capital more (as opposed to

If you have the money, you can get excellent healthcare in almost any civilized country. You're free to pay for your treatment in Canada, too.

This reminds of sensitivity vs. specificity for medical tests. You essentially have a 2x2 matrix: Error vs. non-error on one axis, and detected vs. not detected on the other. If we assume that a reviewer LLM has 95% accuracy, meaning that i

Oh, the joy was never fully lost to me. I still listen to bands so obscure that Spotify and Youtube Music don't have them, so I have no other choice. I'm slowly reverting back to my tech use of the late 2000s and early 2010s, with

The opening of FFX basically is basically an FMV with edgy metal built in. :D

English is not my native language, but I consider myself fairly fluent. I've never heard the expression "belt-and-suspenders" before Claude.

I've recently noticed an increase in "bite". "This will only bite if..." It also loves "stress-testing", "matrix", "anchor" and "flagging".

Kombucha is the best "natural" soft drink for me, too. It's not entirely sugar-free, though (even though you can get it to low-sugar with longer fermentation).

Ah, good old Dragonspice.de, they have provided me with supplies for many of my experiments as well. I have many of the essential oils already, I might try this! Thank you for posting your recipe.

I regularly replay FFX, I recently replayed the Battle Realms remaster, and now I'm once again on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

I agree with this observation. I often assumed it would be an USP if I highlight that I want to understand how things work instead of blindly following paradigms and frameworks, but it seems that (a sense of) uniformity just comes with too

I don't know the exact reason, but when they don't share the process or prompt, it seems like they're trying to gatekeep their results – which is very ironic from someone using a tool made possible by ingesting other people&#

That's interesting to hear, because my impression was that software/web development is a field full of people who are self-taught or at least very enthusiastic about learning new tech. I am personally pretty undogmatic when it com

So you're saying that someone who likes both OOP and Javascript and more functional-style programming could be a sought after candidate?

The Timely clock app. It was bought by Google and then never updated so it doesn't work on newer Android versions. Sad.

Jelly is thickened juice, jam contains the pulp. Why? Different textures.

I don't think there's an apprenticeship for every passion out there. I definitely didn't see my passions reflected in typical job profiles.
