You should be less upset over semantics that everyone else has usefully settled on. LLMs understand things fine.

This isn't really a good way to judge things. In the future, the fondest memories someone else has about technology will be about the present. The past is not better, you're just nostalgic for it.

And the easiest way to do this is to lift restrictions on being able to build housing near workplaces (i.e. anywhere housing might reasonably and gainfully be built). Most traffic is caused by building restrictions.

"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially..."

"No wireless? Less space than a Nomad? Lame"

That's not the point at all and I think you know that.

that doesn't mean we should develop a pill that makes everyone a great soccer player with no skill development or effort required

What are you talking about? We should absolutely do this. We should extend this to as many domains of human achievement as possible. By this logic, computers shouldn't have existed because it devalued the skill that scribes and accountants developed before word processors and spreadsheets. Blender itself is a tool that made 3D accessible to thousands of people who previously had to pay for expensive licenses, training, and SGI workstations. Literally the whole point of technology is to make more things possible for people unable to do it naturally or without great effort.

I'd argue that "the reality people feel" isn't a good aspect of any metric other than one that measure sentiment itself.

I do nearly this exact thing with these shoeboxes, so you can pull them out from the front and have enough collapsed in storage to always have more on hand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T6TC4FW

This can also be fixed by increasing supply. People buy housing as an investment because they expect it to increase in value. The best way to counteract that is to build and continue building so that doesn't happen.

I have one of these for this exact purpose and it's amazing, really underrated. Makes me want a bigger one for sure, though.

The Inkplate10 is an excellent, much lower cost way to get into this

This rules

The snow falling in front of the text here really drives the point home

Hard to justify snow falling in front of the text on a blog post about how a redesign isn’t helpful design.

That's the case currently! What I said is why those laws and judges don't ban advertising!

Certainly you can see the difference between that and advertising.

I didn't say that all speech is ads, I said that ads are speech.

Ads are speech. Replace all mention of "ads" in your post with "speech I don't like" and see how it reads.

I've been talking about making a site like this for years! It is easily the number two criteria I have when looking for hotels after location.

An enormous bummer of a fact is that Majel Barrett, who was the voice of the computer on Star Trek (along with a number of other roles), did phonetic voice recordings specifically to reproduce her voice, yet nobody has used those recordings to do so. I'd love to see her on this list.

It doesn't. There's some minor evidence, but it's very quickly reversed.

I think there's an actual Roborock integration for HA. I forget if it's official or on HACS, but I've used it and it worked well at the time. It requires cloud, which obviously isn't ideal, but better than nothing IMO.

This happened to me too. I eliminated it in text responses, but eventually figured out that there's a system prompt in voice mode that says to do this (more or less) regardless of any instructions you give to the contrary. Attempting to override it will just make it increasingly awkward and obvious.

Same here, I even have a fun mini game in my head where I try to make the selection box beginning line directly up with the end on the row below.

Thanks!

Which one do you recommend?

Color is the hardest thing on your list. I think something that meets most other requirements is the Inkplate 10, which I’ve been using as an apartment status display for a few years now. It’s ESP32 based and I have it grabbing an image from Home Assistant every minute, which it works great for. Black and white only though.

The goal is to make consumers better off, not just to have a competitive market. There's a lot of ways to make markets more competitive that don't result in better value for consumers, and I'd argue that this is one of them.

Thank you, I did indeed mean income and not salary (though real median salary for full time workers has also outpaced inflation).

Saying that the DMA is working well by reducing the features available to users with no apparent upside is a tough sell.
