Left untreated for a very long time (decade+), it spreads to the brain and causes dementia among other things. Older generations with stigmas, taboos, or from lower educational backgrounds seem (to me) less likely to get tested, so it seems plausible.
Source: Have recently discovered this myself with a family member from their neurologist.
Sounds like a contrived situation, but there's a surprising amount of "thought leader" CEOs out there who make completely nonsensical decisions under the banner of "saving costs and automating things".
(Real-world example I know of) company pays for cheapest tier they can find of Gemini, tell everyone to use it. But won't pay for Asana seats, so every user in your 100-person startup is a guest, and can't use the connector in any AI app to TRULY do useful task management with AI.
Having some better access to AI in the browser would pave over that pain for someone who currently doesn't want to spend their own money on something like Claude for Cowork and the Chrome extension to drive the browser, or open a terminal to have Claude Code do it.
I care about making stuff. "Making stuff" means stuff that I can use. I care about code quality yes, but not to an obsessive degree of "I hate my framework's ORM because of <obscure reason nobody cares about>". So, vibe coding is great, because I know enough to guide the agent away from issues or describe how I want the code to look or be changed.
This gets me to my desired effect of "making stuff" much faster, which is why I like it.
I wouldn't charge customers _less_ for that just because it's now a one-time payment.
I get it, Turso wants to actually make some money, but I just don't get it.
At the same time, not everything is a reusable component, so yeah, shove a couple dozen tailwind classes there and call it a day. Still better and less messy than hand-wringing custom selectors or custom element styling - else Bootstrap would be better for tweaking than "100% tweaks".
It's the usual OOP debate on inheritance vs composition.
Tailwind is composition, and it's clearly the favoured approach.
As other commenters have pointed out, this does seem like going from one extreme to another - especially once religion gets involved.
I wish Dylan well, though I do hope some deeper, more moderate self reflection takes place at some point.
FIRE is a nice idea, but in the pure sense it is really just the idea of deferring the life you really want to live. You might die before you get there.
The fisherman and businessman story come to mind here.
Emigrating halfway across the world is not cheap in the first place.
Greece is also not cheap for where it stands on the economic level compared to the average income, especially back in 2018 when Dylan did it, and especially for property even outside of urban areas. Euboea is not super remote either, it's about an hour or two's drive from Athens depending where you go.
So sure, the farm might not make money, but I would wager he had a good amount saved up between him and his family to make the transition possible.
Tailwind is better when you actually try to put the utility classes in your own components, sure. But the reason Tailwind got popular over Bootstrap in the last 5 years is because people got sick of hand-tweaking Bootstrap components and fighting it to do so when they can only run basic CSS sticks together.
(I'm aware modern CSS is really good even on its own, and most of us under-utilise it. But I think it has become clear that most people just don't want to learn it)
IME with the meds, the biggest benefit is not focus during its effective period, but the fact that I can still live my life properly afterwards. As in, I haven't had to spend all my day's willpower to stay on task with work, so I have more mental energy for the rest of my life.
The idea is that you'd use Playwright as a way to automatically give "visual" feedback to the agent, so that it can a) get more accurate with designs it might implement with your chosen frontend styling tech (tailwind, UI kits, etc) and b) be able to iterate on a design without you constantly feeding images into it.
It kind of glosses over competence of practice, but the TL;DR is once you've built up some competence with a skill, staying in a constant state of effortful tension won't give you better results. Entering flow state requires getting into "unconscious competence" effectively.
...which is effectively a reframe of how The Inner Game of Tennis says it: to practice your still with non-judgement while you do it.
And they don't want to go through alternative workarounds to do so.
For me, it's actually just being able to easily share premium with other users in my household, so that I don't have to have my ears blasted with ads when they open YT on the TV. Less effort than playing around with things like pihole and hoping it doesn't break other things.
I think this depends on how you interact with your chosen game. To me, I play Yugioh as a hobby. If I'm "only" into the digital versions of the game, then it's no different to playing just about any other video game.
And even then, these live service TCGs (outside of unofficial simulators) can often have the same lootbox/pack gambling aspects as the real thing.
Personally that's not what I want. A good chunk of why I play paper is because of the physical community, in a space outside my home.
Either that or Meta's ability to track/influence emotional state by behaviour is that good that they can advertise to me things I've only thought of and not uttered or even searched anywhere.
Google killed a lot of things to consolidate them into more "integrated" (from their perspective) product offerings. Picasa -> Photos, Hangounts -> Meet, Music -> YT Premium.
No idea what NFC Wallet was, other than the Wallet app on my phone that still exists and works?
The only one I'm not sure about is Chromecast - a while back my ones had an "update" to start using their newer AI Assistant system for managing it. Still works.
Does that really count as adoption, when it has been introduced as a default feature?
