LLMs are better than slow human support of any kind for debugging / helpdesk work (which was never that welcome at SO anyway). Stack Overflow is still great for canonical questions, multiple answers, public / SEO'd discussion

The extension I've always wanted is a one that makes every link to a modern story on the New York Times, CNN, ESPN, etc. load using their same websites from like 2004. https://web.archive.org/web/20041207071752&#x2

It just feels like the complete public domain New York Times should be a big deal. Why is it only available via individual issues in the Internet archive? Why hasn't every single story been cut out individually, fully OCR'd, so th

Does Anna's Archive or a similar site host, say, the complete New York Times (pre-1930) as a full PDF download set? And every other newspaper too? Tons of public domain sources are locked into websites like Newspapers.com or the nearly

Maybe the TikTok algorithm is better, but the "I don't like this" action on Meta properties just blatantly does not work. I still get the same type of clickbait content no matter how many times I try to get rid of it. Maybe

It's not about monetizing friendship, it's about providing comfortable places where events like this can happen all over the city/country. People want this community but it kinda sucks to do (and mostly won't happen) if

Now, even better, allow any neighbor to open a legitimate (yet small-scale and cheap) coffee shop or wine bar by-right in the garage space under their SF home.

Can you use that app for any/all YouTube videos? I want to listen to long-form video interviews and such, not just listen to music and 'actual' podcasts.

I might actually use "Downloads and background play" (for which you need the higher $$$ tier) if the YouTube app gave "Skip back 15 seconds" controls on the phone lock screen. Insane to use YouTube as a "podcast&quo

Newspapers have nearly identical newswire columns printed in 100+ newspapers, but with slightly different headlines and content. Or OCR breaking due to words being physically next to each other but in separate stories. The Newspapers.com se

Is anyone building a public domain repository / AI training ground for old newspapers? Anything before 1930 has no restrictions. Newspapers.com has pretty good content but the interface and search is extremely lacking. Google News wa

This is potentially true; I've noticed green-bubble chats are much less annoying in the last year. Do they send over Wifi now? That was also a killer iMessage feature on trips with bad cell coverage.

iMessage/SMS is just one of the many sending options in the share sheet. WhatsApp or whatever your country uses will be there too.

By "use SMS" you surely mean "use iMessage" much of the time.

In the USA, someone insisting on using an Android when everyone else in their social circle has an iPhone (and they do!) is what's seen as anti-social. No one wants to use the degraded green bubble SMS experience so they simply exclude

As I understand it, many Americans (and all iPhones?) had unlimited-SMS phone plans circa 2009. So the pay-per-message economic conditions that caused many Europeans, etc., to switch to WhatsApp back in the day didn't do anything in th

For a long time they were heavily promoting "Ships to You" non-local goods. Annoying. Lots of dropshipper type stuff rather than a local unique items. Marketplace seems to have backed off that in the last year(s) though, my feed s

I think Apple already has claimed the "friends and family network" via iMessage. Did Facebook go to a groups/influencer algorithm by choice or is it the result of IRL friend posters all moving to private chats once everyone

Watching football this fall, I've been thinking about a little box that sits on my table and mutes the TV whenever an ad comes on. Not decoding HDMI HDCP or anything, but a webcam + AI or whatever that watches football with me and mute

My annoyance with Keychain has been that items kind of appear there as I type in a username and password on the web. Feels rather ephemeral, like old "saved passwords" in Internet Explorer or whatever. Feels like I'm one brow

People find value in TikTok, obviously, and Google wants part of that pie and is willing to degrade all of our YouTube experience in order to chase it. But very unclear if anyone finds value in Shorts.

Reels in the feed is what makes me hate modern IG. There’s already a Reels tab I never tap! I’m telling you something, please listen.
