The pivot to do things they want as AI research lab is perfectly understandable, but also..weird, like their loyal userbase are mostly creative people, and this pivot have ZERO things to do with those audience at all. It also gives a vibe t

I think hoarding is humanity's default mode of operation, and that why I see lots of comments resist not hoarding. I live and hoard long enough to know I rarely look back to stuff I've saved, things that I hope it will spark my cr

>They remind me of places where I have to behave, which makes me stressed out. Thanks for putting the word for it. That's what I feel about many of those 'cozy' games. It's like when you meditate and you force yoursel

Gemini is really good, dev is happy, cost is low, but the mass just don't use it, The UX feels...weird(in my opinion), and Google marketing just sucks. Look at the craze of GPT-4o image gen launch, Pretty sure none of that will ever ha

Great, and I just recently move from Pocket a couple of months ago because I love how clean Omnivore is. Seems you can't escape the impermanence of digital life, so certain that it even rival death and taxes.

Funny how HN always find a way to be critical on virtually EVERYTHING. :p I think it's brilliant site, you visit the site or share it with someone, read the text, it make you feel grounded and even spark something inside you that you f

I think it's delightful(and maybe that influence me not to cancel the sub, because it's too cute? maybe..) Personally I think it's just normal-mildly-manipulative marketing trick and that's all. If we're talking abo

You can click the padlock icon at the bottom to select auto cruise speed, I think around 25-30 mph is kinda good spot.

Ah, fellow people-pleaser! For me, what help a lot is reframing feedback, whatever it is, as opportunity for learning, and not something you need to fear, ashamed, or get rid of(to keep face) Embrace it. See it with the eyes of curiosity, a

It's so relatable, especially after learning that I might have an ADHD condition. I also learned that it's linked to perfectionism and procrastination, traits that have defined me all my life. I'm still somewhat of a perfecti

It could be, yeah, like many things, I guess — gluten, hormones, etc. Maybe we'll find out later that all of this is just some big mass hallucination we all try to believe in order to cope with today's horrible work life. Though,

This is my go to method. Write/vent it down somewhere(privately) and just forget about it(you usually feels much better after write it down anyway) I often found that the things in my head that I got so worked up a week ago is just mo

My father & mother divorce since I was 5, and I live with my mom since. One day we have to go to funeral of our relative, and my father is there. We are complete stranger by now, but also father and son. So imagine when I have to talk t

Beautiful. I always think deep down we are all empathetic to each other, but the outside circumstance arise(mostly works), then survival mode kick in, and we suddenly see other people as OTHERs, enemies, or "obstacles" to your hap

True. Not to mention most average people nowadays doing things via their smartdevice, so anything that doesn't remotely 'prepackaged' become a big hurdle to cross for them, and their time. It remind me of whenever people disc

I give Bing a try a couple of days ago. Shocked by how *extremely* cluttered it is(give it a try) Like every 'Don't' list of UX101 comes to live. It's disgusting and at the same time, disappointing, consider their attem

I think it's a matter of cleaning after work, not while they're working. No one can keep workspace clean all the time. Even that, some do, some don't. I prefer cleaning things up(both digital and physical) at the end of the

I never understand the American way to fix these issue. They do have good intention, we can see that, but somehow the perspective of how they see the problem is distorted, which let to distorted answer. I think many of us can see it, but ca

Especially when you realized that those magical image AI put out comes from hard work of fellow artists that it aim to replace. I think non-artist people will ever understand this pain. I'm also the type that welcome new technology in

We all have field of knowledge that we interest, and something we don't. I think it's more about the lacking of people to talk and share the same interest as your aka the same "tribe", than the amount of curiosity. Trust

Agreed. Corporate know this can make money, and they do it. Managing your expenses is not their job,…which is, yeah, probably true. But there are things called social responsibility, too. I can see it happened with numerous service (at leas

I did that too, seperate 'friends' and 'interest' account and never make it overlap, ever, and occasionally 'pruning' who you follow. I somehow enjoy what I used to hate again. It's powerful tool. Sadly, I

Agreed with most of your post. Though I'd say a little proactive is still better than bare minimum, but I prefer to keep it private and work on that proactive 'things' at my own pace, no outside pressure. Sometimes you want t
