I feel like the genie is out of the bottle. Second order effects and third order effects to markets all around, societal impacts deriving from economic changes and changing incentives galore are yet to be seen. Appreciation of original crea

Reddit is one of the most potent places where opinion-shaping has been happening. I've been getting ads for Reddit everywhere recently (even thought I've been a reddit user for about 20 years). r/worldnews is pretty tightly c

I think a switch happened inside me roughly 5 years ago, that I went from eschewing walled gardens to now valuing them more and more. Too much of my life has been wasted fighting through dark patterns, finding cancel screens, or being had b

I'd rather another one not exist, because then it would become a game of incentives... app owners might only make their apps available on THAT App Store, resulting in App Store's value being diminished. I would like that the one A

People here miss the value of a tightly moderated walled garden: I don't have to worry about downloading things that are misleading or are chock full of dark patterns, because it has been vetted by an App Store that I trust. And when I

Bottom trawling in particular seems horrendous. Here is Attenborough narrating about the horrors of it and how it affects the ocean floor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXp3jo_uGOQ

I was recently banned from r/worldnews over a comment which I thought was relatively innocuous. Anyway, that made me start investigating and smelling things and suddenly when you see it, it's hard to ignore. r/worldnews is co

I've opined about the atrocious announcement pages from Google before (across the board they are offensively sucky), but to give that a rest and speak on-topic about the announcement in question -- good lord what a step back it is, h

I can appreciate this argument comes from folks who frequent this forum, who can discern scams from legitimate things. But I'm sad for this decision for myself and for the lay man and woman out there. In recent years I've gone out

Interested in reading more about this, that symptoms are more aggressive in the morning, can you refer to studies if you were thinking of some in particular?

It's really hard to believe, but OpenAI kind of did Apple a bamboozle. I use advanced voice mode in ChatGPT, and I had a bit of a eureka moment. It is the first time ever that an AI chat /actually works/. I've tried Siri

Banksy's identity is kind of an open secret, it's Robin Gunningham, people in the 'know' have known this for a long time. But we all every now and then partake in the effort of keeping it an (open) secret, for respect of

While all of this is true, that DeepSeek wouldn't be here were it not for the research that preceded it notably Google's paper, then Llama, and ChatGPT which they're modeled after, its release still did something profound to

Every day that passes I grow fonder of Google's decision to delay or otherwise keep a lot of this under the wraps. The other day I was scrolling down on YouTube shorts and a couple videos invoked an uncanny valley response from me (I t

Fructose in fruits is trapped inside webs of fiber, the gut can more capably deal with fructose in this form vs. fructose found in candy or soda. GP is more right than wrong.

In both of these as well as submission link, one of the things that is clearly and strikingly different from modern UI is the lack of very abundant amount of padding space. I think it's almost the mantra that we need breathing room, e.

> I mean, unless the US and EU tariff the hell out of imports. That is what is happening. But I wonder if that'll result in animosity for the upper ruling class. Tariffs when it suits them, but never when it suits us down below. Man

A better example than Figma is Rive, made with Flutter. Works well local-first, and syncs with the cloud as needed. Flutter space lends itself very well to making local-first apps that also play well in the cloud.
