There’s no Power Broker in the city to keep the irons hot.

This offers an interesting glimpse into the dynamics of a changing world…

Name checks out. This is awesome.

Those can very well be common palindromes just pulled from the web. I know the last line is very common.

Mute Mic does not toggle in Safari on iOS for me.

Use cases is essentially for medium-sized lectures. Only one or two people should be speaking at a given moment on these occasions.

All in all, I just like seeing a straightforward web app like this. Glad to help.

I never thought of that. That would definitely put a spoil on common access to digital information in the long term. Perhaps it could even bifurcate the Web in the way that‘s been entertained before: a separate Web document environment and a separate Web application environment.

This is cool. I’m in mobile. My phone has a grayscale display. There doesn’t appear to be anything that shows me whether my mic is muted or not when I press “Mute Mic” nor is there anything that indicated whether my connection is reset when I press the corresponding button.

If this could accommodate around 8 people or so and I had a reason to trust that the communications were secure, I’d have immediate use for it.

It’s Nice though! And the stack sounds cool.

This is an exciting time, but also topically exhausting. I can see how past generations of technological change may have taken being in the midst of it all for granted in between the hype and the volley of takes for and against the latest groundbreaking innovation of the time.

Side note: I’m looking forward to a viable OpenAI competitor to come along and introduce their own chatbot…right now all of the speculation in the LLM area of AI are concentrated to the work of one company…what else can be out there?

Elaborate, please. This is a new take to me.

He should share the entire chat.

College stinks, but what will happen to “blue collar” young people who do not make it into the “white collar” apprenticeship pipeline, who would have previously achieved so through college. Oh yeah, well they can just choose college. But as this apprenticeship thing becomes more popular, what will the competition be like?

Young people! The labor market is turtling…what are we going to do?

Edit: I’m choosing a more tasteful description for the American labor market. Thank you for expressing your distaste with the original one.

It’s not ready.

This was a delightful read. I wonder what the consequences will be

The end is not unlike the beginning, in that it has been written to exactitude. “The pen has been lifted and the ink is dried”.

Side note: does anyone remember when Vice was “fringe” in its content? I mean, ten or so years ago…

This is a terrifically written article.

No, I'm referring to you! I'm the type of guy who can feel full off of 7 cashews, your infrequent and incomplete remarks are similar to those cashews.

You seem to have thought this through well.

It feels like real dairy is being listed as a necessary casualty to technological/industrial progress at scale and the solutions, such as those that you're introducing, disrupt this sort of progress and its intended benefits. This sort of frustrates me (the theoretical demise of real dairy). I'm picky about my dairy selection as is, but I don't find any comfort in fake dairy (I'm not referring plant, or oat, or nut milk per se, rather lab grown ingredients and anything else that is fermented, stabilized, etc.). I have my own gripes with the dairy industry, but the mere thought of synthetic alternatives becoming the norm irritates me.

How all of this is made to become appealing only upsets me further. I want to get off of this ride!

Thank you for being a bummer on this occasion. I for one, found strength in your tone.

Just wanted to say that your contributions to HN were missed the last few weeks.

Please, start a blog or something. I mean you don't have to...but, yeah. Thanks.

Complain with him, of course. I’m sure you have a bevy of criticism about modern healthcare to offer. In the midst of this, you can pepper in your solutions beneath waves of empathy. People these days, even older men, are desperately in need of someone to relate to them intimately. Sometimes this can be a problem. But in this instance it sounds like it’s warranted. I think that jumping directly to the solution to another person’s problems may deprive them of the need to be heard as a human being and not a bug.

You are neglecting to consider the other fundamental needs of a filthy rich person like an Elon Musk, two that are of greater priority than sheer wealth even, name and fame.

I’ve actually been in the process of doing something similar to what’s described in the Medium article. I’ve tried to grayscale thing out before too but I switch back after some time.

I think what I’m getting out for myself is more so a UX issue? I’m not sure. It’s not a matter of attention span with me specifically. But the look and feel of certain Apple devices as a whole makes me feel like someone who I’d hate to become. I could still see myself using an iPad or a Mac mini or something like that, because I’ve taking a liking for some of the things those devices have to offer for specific tasks.

But I would love for my phone to just be a concrete brick that can spit out thermal printed slips of paper with messages on it as text messaging and emails. And if only voice calls were a distributed mesh of Solo cups and strings.

This was a nice, brief informative and insightful blog post.

As a business model I understand what Apple is doing and can register the strategy as calculated. As an Apple consumer, I am not that interested.

Sometime after inheriting a pair of AirPod Pros and an Apple Watch I started to feel strange. Then I booted OpenBSD on my own hardware for the first time the other day, straight into the shell and I feel changed by how brutal (as in architecture, aesthetics) the experience was. I find it distracting even to use my MacBook now. The colors, the textures, etc. I just feel different now.

Apple is offering a lot of convenience, apparently. The watch is convenient. The AirPods that dig into my ear canals and make me mistake audiobooks and podcasts for my own thoughts are…disturbing…but convenient as a Bluetooth headset?

As a consumer and user of these devices I just feel somewhere between recognizing these new conveniences but being disturbed by them and distracted even after some time.

That depends on what you consider “willingly” to mean in this matter.

I think there may be typographic concerns to consider in some instances, like when reading articles on the web. I'm a novice in this area, but I feel like there are certain variations of line length + line height (measure/the space between paragraph lines) + font size + paragraph length that affect how willing I am to really read an article in depth vs. just skimming it.

Personally I find myself more likely to read articles with a tight measure, long paragraphs and an average font size (16-18px, even 14px on ScienceDaily works for me) than something with short paragraphs, a large font and lots of space in between paragraph lines. This is a recent realization.

This is a very good white paper.

The attributes between the universe and The Creator would need to be differentiated.

In other words, the properties of that which is uncreated would need to be defined so they can be distinguished from something that is created. These properties have to be understood and accepted as an exclusive set that cannot be "distributed" or "shared" among other beings; in order to dispel the notion that there can be multiple uncreated beings or beings that are created that share attributes with The Creator.

Thank you, Jeff.

Thank for the disclosure.

1. Are there legitimate safe spaces for people who like friction? Or are they only for people who LARP as Don Draper and Jordan Belfort?

2. How was/is cheating in this sense addressed in print advertisements?

3. This makes sense, but I think the alternative would call for more friction and ethical data collection/sharing on behalf of personalization.

4. The last sentence was the most helpful. Who is the "network" in question?

(Now for my disclosure: If you can't tell I need to sit down and figure out how the online ad business actually works, I likely can count on my hands many times I've ever clicked an ad online and I've definitely purchased something in that manner far less if ever).

Thank you!

I wonder the same thing as well. This goes for any sort of screencast. I reckon that it's something that was adopted from the gaming world? The short answer is likely: because branding.
