Aphantastic people of HN. Do you struggle remembering things in detail? My gfs family is all aohantastic and they just realized that it’s why they tell stories that are all a bit inaccurate. They remember the story but when placement, colors, shapes, etc come up, they can’t really tell you what it was. Comes up in weird ways

I can personally watch a movie in my head, eyes open and I’m super not artistic but very engineer oriented. To the point that I realized I should be dropping software for mech eng

I’ve never heard someone claim windows peaked at 8, at least 7.

What’s stopping you from building that yourself instead of having to go through Framework?

Square footage is very much a lie in San Francisco as well

Yes, I initially jumped from Android to iPhone back in 2019 or so because I felt like the experience was much more stable and it just worked, smooth, no issues, kinda boring but in a good adult way. Now every interaction makes me want to throw the phone out the window. If it’s not just blank, the keyboard doesn’t come up, the navbar in Safari sometimes is there, sometimes it’s a blank rectangle, etc. “ask your developer to update the apps to run well in iOS 26” is such a garbage response. We didn’t need to break everything just to have some glass simulations that make everything slower and add no value.

Google Home: holy shit dude. It was a mostly working thing. Absolutely unusable with Gemini. Will get the transcript right 15% of the time. Can’t even ask for the weather.

Roku: Netflix playing in the background but I’m still in the main menu.

I can go on

Well someone has to sue first no? The courts don’t go out telling people what to do. They react to claims.

Maybe if instead we stopped engaging they would wonder why

You’re getting in an ambulance, not calling a cab. You’re probably unconscious, maybe at least disoriented, overwhelmed, concerned about what’s happening more than doing math. Also you’re there on the floor bleeding, what’s your alternative? “Nah don’t worry, I’ll figure out this exposed fracture in the uber, I got points with them so it’s cheaper”?

Even with insurance all these companies will fight with each other to find excuses to say it’s not their responsibility and send you letters non stop saying things like “oh you paid for the van, I’m just the nurse, it’s separate” or “oh yeah you paid for the hallway in the hospital but the ct scan person is a contractor, you owe them 3k”. System could not be more broken

Yeah my mom got billed 9k a few months ago from SFO to one of the south sf hospitals. Neck brace and supervision was all that was needed. Basically an expensive uber ride.

I wonder if Ryanair is going to charge them for being oversized to fit through their designated window.

Can one end up working for TAG out of this for example? What does it take for that career ladder to happen?

Is this still a viable career?

What I noticed lately is that everyone wants a principal or staff SWE. So much that I even think the titles are getting diluted.

I think this should be a show HN? But if not a few things anyway. Your comments show as dead, just so you know. Idk why. Your website is unusable in my phone, crawls to a stop, maybe something in the complex background if rendered? Idk. I’m interested but can’t find out more info because of this lol.

Lifters also often drain while sitting and valve lash is greater at start until they get slapped a few times

How’s running models with AMD these days?

And yet half what they charge in some areas of California

Makes sense to me. The only way I can dip in a snow melt lake is if I slow down my breathing, slow my thinking and dip.

How much of why glam 5.2 is good today is due to open source contributions? Is the two-way-street-ness of it already pushing it to be better or so far it’s mostly a nice to have?

Would help to know what fields you’re interested in or what problems you want to solve. No one is going to have much consistency or accountability working on things they don’t care about

Even if objectively one could agree that currently the products from china are better than the US ones, all the “China so good now” stuff is starting to sound like straight up in your face propaganda.

And who pays that extra? Who are you taxing in the middle of nowhere?

It’s a matter of incentives. The avg American grows up with certain “American dream” that clashes with that rural America life. There is no incentive to leave everything behind and go be basically alone. Immigrants have a “lower” baseline or just want the experience of being abroad, or are willing to put up with rural living because from wherever they are, it looks better. You’d have to entice a city teacher to move to rural America.

You’ll say “pay them more”. But who are you taxing more? Because no one is happy when the gov starts looking at being more efficient and starts laying off some admin people either.

But evidently they don’t want to move to rural America.

They are not serious

I thought the same exact thing and I thought that I would love a sky projection on my ceiling

I have the same experience. Getting hired with this background is weird. I don’t know how confident I should or shouldn’t be. And I wasn’t in consulting until recently. I like to put the focus on understanding the end to end workflows more than spending time worrying about my solution being the absolute best that would make HN drool over though

Didnt really need any. I’m still using my M1 Pro from when it was released. My mom using the oldest Air now.
