When I enter Zen Mode, my notifications are brought along for the ride, which is not what I had hoped for. I get a ton of persistent notifications and I just tend to let them stay until I have time to look (obviously creating a very anti-ze

What's stopping someone from literally cloning the minimal feature-set we loved, and so many people here seem to be pining for? I scrolled down a fair bit and didn't see anyone posting an alternative.

I've heard this quote before, and I don't get it. This article fails to show me just how complicated that is. When I think "complicated," I think of a multiplicity of interconnected chemical molecular processes like what

I'm sure your idea's great, but I was hoping for a regionally local-first podcast app when I clicked the link, e.g. something that would show me podcasts from near where I live.

When I went (15 yrs ago?), there was also the problem of armed locals. I can't remember if they were some guerrilla group or just opportunistic bandits, but we had to caravan to get there with a military escort. So that can't help

I love the em dash; I use 'em all the time. But finding them all over this post indicates, maybe, possible, (probably?), that the author at least used AI generated text as a first draft. In the worst case, this is like "We release

Honest question: who else, internal to the executive branch, and besides the president, should be able to interpret the laws for the executive branch? By my reading, this is a clarification that if an agency makes a significant policy chang

I think the assertion that "eating less usually means eating less meat" is probably false (though I couldn't read the article cuz paywall). The first article talks plenty about why: people are eating less of the the things th

It's not mentioned in the abstract but there's a brain activity measuring device involved as well. So this is neurofeedback. But is it any better than existing neurofeedback which already makes use of computer games?

I don't see how this is linked to AI. The article doesn't mention AI at all. We know that the number of books being released has exploded in general due to AI, but are those books also being released in audiobook form? Or is this

It's curious, to me at least, why they didn't just go back and fix those themselves later. The early ones were on CD (or tape?), so maybe that's why.

I think I'd prefer to have options for each audiobook. I have favorite narrators, and find others unlistenable. There are also thousands and thousands of books that will never otherwise be turned into audio format unless an AI is used.

Some already punish you by deleting your account history after 9 months. I'm surprised we haven't seen activation and cancelation fees start to get added. But this was the whole value add of streaming over cable - the ability to s

I switched to the Arc browser this year, and I love it. The best feature is that it auto-closes tabs. It makes having different spaces for work and personal browsing easy, and they are constantly adding convenience features. It runs on Chro

What do you mean 28h day? Are you going to bed 4 hours later every day than the day before? How can you do this and keep a job, or even schedule appointments several weeks out?

"Twitter censored content at the request of the Turkish government" What are we expecting here? If there's a legal requirement Twitter has to follow, vs getting banned, what should they do? Do we believe for a second that Met

These systems don't have agency. They have no desire to replicate, or do any of the other things you mention. The biggest risk with these systems is that they'll amplify the ability of bad people to do bad things. While everyone e

Pretty sure California's Automatic Renewal law makes this illegal. Does NatGeo have different cancelation processes by state/country?

Great idea! I changed the prompt to this: "Rewrite this for brevity, in outline form:" I prefer the responses this way, rather than the 3rd person book report style the other prompt returns.

I mean... fine, but IMO it's not the number of pardons issued that made this top of mind, but rather the constant controversy around people given pardons, gossip about people who requested pardons, and speculation about the legality of

This is the part that sticks out to me: "Hearing aids cost a fortune, and Medicare doesn’t cover them." So, like, we (Americans) have bought into this system where basic health care, which we all pay for and plan to rely on when w

I've been wondering how to get some of the JWST photos to my LG tv as well - how do I load this up over there? Edit Lol, well I finally got it open in the built in browser, but I'm not sure I'd say it works, exactly. My TV

It used to be one of my favorite pet peeves when folks would put "expert at RESTful APIs" on their resumes. In interviews, I would ask, "What makes an API RESTful?" and wait gleefully for them to stutter and stumble towa

I wrote a script that opens a random bookmark. I set it to run every day when I know I'll be taking a break. Now I can safely close tabs, having successfully satisfied my brain's objections.

I can't answer for the parent, but I've done similar style interviews. Because the candidate is not familiar with your codebase, you must be the expert. Your job is to let them drive as much as possible, while you "unstick&qu

I was hoping to find Enchanted Scepters in there (I'd guess it would be in the system7 version), but no luck. I tried a few years ago to get it working on a Mac emulator but I wasn't successful, and I have fond memories of that ga
