Thanks for the heads up, I'm not a native speaker and typed that comment on a rush

Even in developed countries many people live in poverty!

Looked into this when my Huawei P20 died last year. In urban areas, used iPhones are a solid option since folks tend to upgrade annually or biennially. You can get a 1-2yo device in mint condition with software support for a few more years. I was prepared to drop another 80€ on a battery replacement which i thought would give me at least a few years worth of use out of that phone but so far it hasn't even been necessary yet (i'm using an iPhone 11 and don't feel like i'm missing out on much compared to newer models, even the camera is excellent)

The application in games I'm most excited about is commenters in FIFA career mode that don't have a limited set of prerecorded voice lines, and take your recent games, formation changes etc into account too, like real commentators would. The recent installments already do that to a small degree. Of course this would also easily open the doors to having multiple commentators/analysts to choose from, each with their individual "personalities". The technology for that is pretty much all already there right?

A game like Fallout/Elder Scrolls with AI generated NPCs and questlines would be so sick too if executed well.

>the latter of which is vanishingly rare in developed countries.

You may live in a bubble

Teachers and nurses would disagree!

> Sincerely, a person who went to a school you've never heard of, but makes a ton of money

I always find it odd when people choose this as a metric for success. Why not "a person who went to a school you've never heard of, but has a job they enjoy deeply and that gives them purpose"?

That was a fun story and congrats on winning that competition!

From the judges:

>Our lives, especially in our twenties, feels like a competition. From school, to university, to getting a job and progressing through our careers – it’s a never ending competition.

Is that really how people feel? The last time I felt remotely similar was in high school during the university entry exams, but even then, it didn't feel much like a competition, more like a group of kids bonding over going through a stressful time together. Then uni was just socializing, taking fun (and some not so fun) classes and enjoying life without any real responsibilities outside of class and mundane student jobs. I know that my friends felt the same. Where is this competition taking place that the author says applies to everyone?

It might also be that they don't have a better alternative. For example, in Germany, refugees who don't have a work permit stand around in parks selling laced weed to tourists all day

> What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good.

What dog whistling drivel. That dude's trying so hard to use fancy words and walls of texts to defend his racist views without stating them outright. This is coming from a person who previously said:

"One quality that's a really bad indication is a CEO with a strong foreign accent. They must be clueless if they haven't gotten rid of their strong accent."

Already going mask off in public and later doubling down on it in his blog. Just imagine what his views are in private if he goes to those lengths to try and fail to morally justify them.

Yes. Chat GPT 4!

That's not all, besides Alzheimer Cafe, Creatieve Werkplaats and Bijzonder ontmoeten, there are also Gezellige Kletsen, Gronkelstoot Spelletjes and Zorgzame Knoetelbijeenkomsten.

>I have been struggling a lot with dating.

>I probably have to go on a psychadelic trip to rewire my brain to be able to show my interest romatically to others

That's MUBI which is very popular. (https://mubi.com)

"1/4 of the time people who needed emergency responders had to wait because they were busy looking into false alarms."

That would be even better, as that would mean 3/4 of the alarms are hits/non false-positives. I argue that even a 1/4 hit rate, i.e. 3/4 false positive rate, is a good start.

"When I start working again, it won’t involve picking up where I left off, but something completely different and oriented around these deeper realizations and helping other people find the same insights for themselves."

Such condescending drivel. The first "realisation" is what is commonly taught within the first 5 sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy. The fifth seems like a move in the right direction for a person who considers (2) and (3) to be so enlightening to justify teaching other people about them, but ultimately coming up with purpuses for your life and ranking them sounds like setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment once the inevitable days where such self-proclaimed purposes can't be achieved come.

Envisioning dedicating an entire blog to enlighten others about these "realisations" people generally have before turning 20 just makes you sound like a narcissist.

I hate Apple as much as any other large tech company, but 1/4 true emergency rate seems like a pretty good start in cases where a person's life may be at risk!

Emergency services in my city (the one you call via phone) have a "true emergency" rate of about 1 in 10 according to emergency personnel I talked to, so it is always a matter of balancing the false positive/false negative rate.

Are there any other credible hypotheses for why SSRIs take weeks to affect mood according to the literature, when their effect on the serotonin is immediate?

Everyone who can afford it you mean?

Because being able to choose schools is an incredibly privileged position many well-meaning parents and their kids aren't in.

I've seen people on /r/singularity argue how LLMs are a better friend than actual friends or therapists because they are always available, non-judgemental and "listen better".

It looks really nice and minimal. Good for blogs. What about form elements?

I had that feeling once when I was driving and saw a bus full of school children on the other road. It reminded me of when I was at their age and wondering how amazing it must feel for all those strange people in the little cars to have the freedom to go wherever they want.

I was surprised this article was talking about driving alone in a car in nature, which is just a lamer version of going hiking, which is not cool, instead of driving alone in a car at night on the Autobahn, which is cool.

That's when you chill out and enjoy life for a bit

The default scroll direction on macOS absolutely makes sense from a UX perspective. On a phone, you scroll up by physically touching the same display your content is on, so you have to move your finger down on the screen, which makes sense on phones but not on computers where the content is separate from the touchpad.

OP didn't criticise the choice of address not because it's not a real address but because of the associations of the term "hacker" outside of spaces such as here.

They should call it iMessage then and not SMS/texting.

Thanks for clearing that up! It's nevertheless interesting to observe how multiple people come to the same analogy, or may be unconsciously affected by reading and then forgetting about it. Unfortunately I can't edit my original comment anymore.
