Autocomplete for CLI apps, gui for directory changes, just quality of life things.

It isn’t telling you how many calories you consumed. It’s just insights into the nutrition from the food you consume.

That is an example. Correct. What’s the issue?

There’s a “How many people do you shop for” button.

Yes, but from my point of view I had to speak my request twice before the AI responded.

I thought it was thinking, but it was a very long delay between pauses.

I like the idea, don’t want to come across as negative!

Without sounding overly pessimistic, but I have the opinion that copyright laws were written and developed in a different era.

Finical interests, not the public’s, are to blame for the overly restrictive copyright laws.

It doesn’t seem to listen to other languages besides English.

I tried Spanish and Portuguese (Br).

It thought pedir (to request) was a flavor.

I also asked for bread, water, and cheese and only responded with Bubble tea.

I waited almost 30~ seconds after ordering, to find out it didn’t hear my original request. Might suggest shortening the retry.

You’re saying that gamification is bad, and yet you hit a 2500 day streak. I would say, for what it’s worth, the gamification effects worked.

I’ve never read that letter before. The second half is pretty surreal.

Is that even a shortcut? I would have a hard time remembering that, compared to cmd + v.

Most catchy phrases can’t acutely articulate the meaning behind the message. People who argue to “defund the police” also mean use the funds meant to be distributed to the police force to other services that serve the same role, in a less harmful manner. But that messaging doesn’t stick as easily.

I’ve had to do a lot of my rides indoors due to the Seattle weather and drivers. There are times I don’t feel safe riding outside due to the lack of infrastructure.

This is coming from someone who logs 200 miles outdoors in the summer.

I’ve known plenty of people who will ask 1,000 questions about lifting before ever going to the gym. I think this app is great for people who are just getting into it, and want something that feels like a definitive answer.

Im sure after a few months of this, you’ll find better information on how to progress, but I’d recommend this to anyone texting me “hey what should I do at the gym.”

Murder is just one crime. Take for example Wage Theft. Which accounts for as much as $50 billion a year ^1 (more than robberies).

And yet, you won’t see cops arresting a manager at a store for stealing from their workers.

You could argue that those areas have more crime because they have a disproportionate amount of cops to observe crime.

I think the benefit to a holiday is that everyone gets it off and that’s maintained at the federal level, whereas more vacation is just a contract between you and your employer. The American work culture also makes it harder for individuals to take work off for a vacation.

You realize this shows the leadership team that there is worker organization.

There isn’t a lot of tech unions, so we could see the ball rolling on this which could result in something very powerful.

If that’s how your employer views your work, sounds like unions are in order. I don’t think workers should feel afraid of asking for better working conditions, and if workers are afraid, we’ll unions are the best answer to that problem.

To your first point, I think it’s a mistake to assume that the current situation is the natural result of our cities, where as it’s actually policy decisions that add up over time.

If 50 years ago, cities prioritized travel methods for walking and biking, the noise pollution this video describes wouldn’t be so prevalent.

Rare as they may be, some people actually are writing detailed critiques of capitalism as an economic system. Good for them, even if I think they tend to be wrong more often than right. I hope they keep going.

So even if a person has a well thought out argument against capitalism, Johnson dismisses their thought automatically.

Interesting.

Most of the article focuses on how the individual doesn’t understand capitalism and can’t define it.

Fair, that’s the average person though. The average person hasn’t had the academic training or study to articulate every aspect of the economic model.

What the average person does have is experience with capitalism. They might not know what alienation means, but they’ve experienced it.

They might not know exactly what it means for their boss to make a profit off their labor, but they know they’re the ones making the company money, while not seeing profit sharing.

It’s easy to be a commentator and say “the average person doesn’t know what they’re talking about”, when the average person is just trying to make ends meet. I don’t like how Johnson is “punching down” in that respect.

I believe they were just expressing their general frustrations with the hustle culture and how it’s geared towards everything in life.

Am I missing something, that seems like a decent prank. It’s harmless.

Steroids are illegal in most countries. You don’t win an award by sharing your illegal hobby in the open. For perspective, if a top pro shared their exact stack, there would be tons of teenagers who have never lifted do the exact stack. Which, as you mention, would have negative long therm consequences.

I’m mildly annoyed that the headline doesn’t know the difference between the two.

I don’t think bigger always needs to be more complex.

For simplicity sake, a 10% tax on income would scale infinitely, no matter how big an economy grows (I’m not arguing in favor of this tax).

But the point of the article, in my opinion, is that US has a large problem, costing tax payers an estimated 40 billion in labor figuring out their taxes, where other countries have almost automated the entire process.

I think there is something to be learned from there, as most people would agree that the US tax system is a mess.

They’ve been building F150s for years

This is just me, but I don’t ever turn the heater on in the winter.

I also live in Seattle where a majority of the homes weren’t built with AC. Offices will run the AC units all summer long too.
