Yes!

The closest thing I could find to a "normal car but electric" was the Hyundai Kona EV (I know, it's more small-SUV than 'car). So, I bought one.

It's good. There are physical controls for the temperature and volume, and the door handles aren't stupid.

I walked away from a Ford Mach-E because I didn't want to have to explain how to open the doors to ever person I drove for the next five years.

I came to these comments for a link to the high jump video. It did not disappoint.

Now do the pole vault!

Forgive my quoting my own blog post:

Writing is a shadow of thought. The better the writing, the more clearly the shadow represents the shape of the original thought. Even the best writing can never perfectly capture the original thought. Writing is one of the best tools we have to share thoughts across space and time.

I didn't even click on the link. I just came to give the author a hat-tip on the project name. Well played.

In Canada, we pronounce it Vinyl CachÉE.

I might print out this quote and put it on my wall! :-)

"Looks like its coded by someone who has never split firewood. "

I did! I thought I was funny! We'll, today was my turn to be an idiot on the internet.

One of these days I'm going to see an article here about how the sex worker characters in GTA 6 have unionized.

Nice. Did you use AI? (I'm being half-sarcastic, and half wanting to confirm that this is an accurate reproduction of the text in the original)

"When people see an artifact, they make assumptions about the process that was used to create it. Without even thinking about it, they assume the creator had a basically human state of mind. This assumption is no longer true."

I've been running into this experience with non-code artifacts, like slideshows and documents.

I'm not worried about my privacy. No one can read the dark text on that page anyhow.

I agree (at least for now) that Claude Design doesn't directly compete with the core Figma tool. It does directly compete with Figma Make - which is also an LLM-powered tool that generates HTML/CSS/JS output (not a canvas of components, like Figma's core product).

I do think Figma will have a problem that people with think Claude Design competes with Figma directly.

I expect people in leadership positions aren't comparing "Claude Design vs. Figma", but area comparing "Me and my product manager using Claude Design vs. A designer using Figma."

My first guitar teacher told me that someday I'd start to notice that you can't get all strings perfectly in tune. At that point, he said, you'll know you're getting somewhere on the guitar.

I didn't even read the article, but the headline made me smile.

The biggest "TBD" I've ever seen (in the slide deck for the winning entry):

"(TBD ethics of voluntary euthanasia)"

Are there benevolent AI swarms?

That was close. We almost had clarity on something for a minute.

Imagine if he was though...

I have a dehumidifier that I'd like this author to redesign please.

I imagine this varies regionally (I'm in Eastern Canada), but we keep running into limited availability issues.

I'd consider myself in the early(ish) part of the mass-market adoption curve. I'm not an early adopter (I don't have an EV yet), but I'm interested and keeping an eye on them.

We're ready to purchase an EV, but I'm not ready to pay to get on a waiting list for a vehicle I can't see or test-drive.

Until I can go to a few dealerships and see/drive the low/mid-priced EV models, it's going to be difficult to make the decision to spend $40,000 to $60,000.

I remember a science radio program from years ago (might have been https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks) summing up an explanation of how soap works with the summary: "Soap makes water wetter."

It's obviously an over-simplification for the purposes of education, but it works, as it has stuck with me.

If even one of those many mathematical formulas had been a YouTube video of a person running in super-space-boots...

This is like a super FizzBuzz test.

I'm pretty sure mine is.

The Blackberry movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_(film) includes a few examples of selling something without having anything real behind it.

10,000 trips / week is impressive. How many vehicles is this?

I had a similar experience. I asked if you can use CSS logical properties in IE11. It confidently told me YES with a whole bunch of follow-up.

The answer was no.

Is this sharing a criminal act?

Sriracha is great, but we don't need Sriracha Cheerios.

This feels a bit more like the power & water was cut off to the beach house, but I like taking metaphors one step to far.
