You know what they mean by opinions. Policing speech like this is always counter productive.

Well I certainly hope that’s true to some degree or I’m out of a job

Great point, but why call it a directory then rather than someone’s personal recommendations?

Yeah, but they’ll add another layer of complexity over doing it yourself

That’s one use case that is very hard to automate right now yes.

None of what you just said is anything I hadn’t considered, and also none of it negates anything I said.

Well that’s clearly false, and obviously “they” refers to people that include management lol

Well all of that is false and tbh sounds a bit sus

That’s true, however I’m truely glad 70% of the population isn’t working in food production anymore, those were the bad old times.

Yes, businesses tend to prefer growth over cost cutting. We need to handle the transition period well though or it will hurt.

Well you can scale it, which is why housing affordability is higher in many places where the cities are actually far denser than Australia. There are perverse incentives not to though, property prices don’t rise (which is what investors want) if you actually focus on increasing supply.

Or they’d keep the same number of people and increase total value output. Businesses tend to like the idea of growth more than cost cutting after all.

Well said. It’s like they think that the only thing automation is good for is cutting costs. You can keep the same staff size but increase output instead, creating more value.

No? You don’t only gain justification for automation by cutting costs. You can gain justification by increasing profits. You can keep the same amount of people but use them more efficiently and you create more total value. The fact you didn’t consider this worries me.

Also the statement “show why automation hasn’t taken over” is truely hysterically wrong. Yeah, sure, no automation has taken over since the Industrial Revolution

Not sure this is likely to be a successful angle but I understand the motivation behind it

lol good luck with that

Are we wishcasting here or suggesting realistic policy?

Cool idea but the ai readme text is so cringy in places “This is FUN, not FEAR”

Perhaps but it was always like that so it hasn’t regressed

Yeah, there’s been a culture of stability as the platforms mature I suppose

Some of these are design decisions, not rough edges. There’s pros and cons. Eg, centralising settings makes it simpler min some ways and more convoluted in others.

That being said clipboard history would be a nice addition. However I never want to see how long until my morning alarm, that’s one thing from android I don’t miss, it would give me immediate anxiety.

Regardless when you’re used to something it often doesn’t feel like “putting up with it”, and when you’re not used to something things that are totally fine can feel like you’re putting up with an annoyance. This works both ways.

Take any iphone user and put an android phone in their hands and within the first two months there will be a lot of things they’ll say “how do android users put up with this stuff” about too.

It’s fine. They’re both fine, it’s about what you’re used to more than anything.

I still use spoken punctuation and it works ok so long as you don’t pause. E.g. “ hey siri text my wife I’m not sure when I’ll be home comma but I’ll text you when I’m leaving” if I say that without pausing, it puts the comma in the right place

I think the keyboard is fine. A few small issues here and there but in general I can type quickly and accurately. I must be lucky though, perhaps my typing style is what apple expects.

Yeah I’d be in that group, boredom sucks, I’d heaps want to feel what the shock feels like also out of curiosity too.

I agree context is most important. But, I was talking in general.

Phooey.

Great idea, though something I accepted about myself years ago is I always want to read at least some of the comments, even if they’re horrific and make me want to sand off my own eyeballs. It may be horrible a lot of the time, but the total boredom and loneliness of experiencing the internet without feeling the presence of others is somehow worse.

I know it’s ridiculous, just seems to be the way I am.

Not sure this particular thing concludes it

Nah.

That’s not a contradiction - documentation often needs to be written with no expectation anyone will ever read it.
