The exact same thing jumped out at me, for the opposite reason. I have unlimited data + tethering, so I can use my laptop with fast internet anywhere. That's the big breakthrough for me, not the glasses+phone combo.

Working in a park is amazing. You are still enjoying the ambience/vibe, but yeah, you're also writing a blog post or whatever. For me, that doesn't distract from the park or the productivity. They both enhance each other.

Same with a coffee shop -- this is why coffee shops have wifi passwords, because many people in there are on the internet, soaking up the ambience/vibe.

For me it was more than my first scan. I understand the word is Majorana, but when I go to pronounce it or read it, my brain reports back "Major-auwana."

The people who signed off on this name a) do a lot of drugs or b) didn't notice because they have never come anywhere near weed

Funny side note: he was paid $1 of salary

1) More spam on Android by far 2) Spotify not blocked

There’s a bit of religion happening in both directions. iOS has, objectively, fewer problems than Android in these regards and part of that are the policies.

Yup. Weird internet never went anywhere. You’ve always been able to find bespoke, organic, locally owned, premium grade A hipster indie stuff online.

It’s just not as popular to as many people.

There was a whole trial about this. If Apple had these deals, it would have come out. Google and Apple ran things differently.

Fair. This paper found the same thing. Women on teams leads to better results. But “token” members of teams do not. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-022-01389-w

These are all reasonable questions. Here’s one paper of many that explains why the answer to your question is yes.

If you know that putting four wheels on a car works better than putting three wheels on a car, that doesn't make you biased against three wheels. It makes you biased towards better results.

We know that "thought diversity" on a team, which can take many forms, has a short term drawback (team gelling doesn't go as fast) and long term advantages (more ideas, better ideas, better resilience, etc etc).

Read up.

[Late update: I am a genius]

I love Pi, but I'm not on the market for asking it to act like Hitler or talk about relating to Mother Teresa or not.

The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did <my sports team> do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.

In that spirit, here are some thoughts.

* Sam goes to MS * Sam stays at OpenAI * Sam starts his own thing

His own thing feels super unlikely because he’s said he’d go to MS.

Staying at OpenAI feels super likely since the staff revolted. 50%? 75%?

Going to MS seems likely but maybe slightly less so. 25%? 50%?

You win

It’s not 1998 anymore, you’d be surprised

Correct answer

It’s possible be extremely smart in one narrow way and a complete idiot when it comes to understanding leadership, people, politics, etc.

For example, Elon Musk was smart enough to do some things … then he crashed and burned with Twitter because it’s about people and politics. He could not have done a worse job, despite being “smart.”

Impossible challenge

It’s a bit long for the TLDR crowd, and it was passionate.

But no, it was a good post and the cultural expectation to keep things shorter and more buttoned up has some real downsides.

I would have written this with more punch, but, well, see above.

This entire thread should be saved in the Smithsonian. It’s the most epic bikeshedding about the stupidest idea, with people emotionally tying it to their pet peeves. Capitalism! Walled gardens! Free software!

No, it’s just a bad idea because few people want it, and even if you did want it, you can, and even then it open a up issues of battery life, reliability, etc. we can barely get actual software makers to care about personal websites, let alone normal people. And then we want to argue people should be able to host on their phones? Good gravy.

TIL the term “brown study”

You know, I had learned POSSE a long time ago but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi, I'm the author!

* Instagram makes you log in after swiping a few screens

* Twitter used to do the same thing, probably not anymore

The argument isn't rss versus not rss, or logged in versus logged out. I'm arguing that sprinkling your media across multiple sites is a harder experience for readers than centralising it in one.

I love this! Robin Sloan has been encouraging people to think in these directions this year, and is trying to help these inventors find each other: https://www.robinsloan.com/lab/new-avenues/

I have my own contribution to this conversation but I want to explain it in a big splashy blog post.

lol

Bingo! We’ve been iterating on our story for a year, and the “let’s refer to Learnable Programming” angle felt like a huge breakthrough.

So glad it resonated with you, thanks for letting us know!
