Fascinated that the author shares an experience of discovery in libraries. The internet, in its early days felt like that. Of course, no longer.

Libraries are certainly declining in their traditional form. I find it odd that everyone has a digital resources in their pocket yet libraries are squeezing out physical books to make way for more and more computers. Try to find paper copy of the Sony founder's book.... that will be £50 on amazon. Prohibitive. No library within a 10 mile radius has a copy.

I remember joyfully discovering Tony Royce's book in my library a few years ago. That enlightenment will never happen now. Primary knowledge is being lost, churned crude will forever lubricate the delusions of those who have no facility to collate the basis of our understanding.

This is a fascinating resource. Wow. Thanks to the OP for posting this.

Even with memory off this occurs within a conversation.

It is like an annoying friend, who remembers something from a past conversation, that you have grown and developed from, but they still want to hold it against you.

I love as yet unexplained visual phenomena.

I cant wait to read/view this in detail. Super exciting, thank you.

And who said cameras linked to Meta in their glasses were a good idea?

Can anyone else see some remarkable similarities between a 1999 Ford Concept Car and the New Ferrari Luca?

I made a video so I can ask youtube to see what they think about this possible association too:

I've been using macs since the Classic. I have used macs because the OS was rarely a limiting factor in my productivity. In fact, everything has always been made unobtrusive. Presently, there is misdirected focus at Apple. Most consumers will not have known better. But, that complacency has never been the way apple managed to innovate to be so ahead.

Amazing!!! As ereaders get faster and with colour, this could make books from the Project even more attractive. I love the work of your team. Thank you.

Is Project Guternberg ever going to add PDF download options?

yes

It is very challenging that the moderation and rule making is more arbitrary that you would believe from community rules.

Yes, I do agree. But my long standing frustrations with Reddit came to the Surface with this OpenAI article. My thoughts reflect on how we are soon to be subjected to the whims of the LLM masters when it comes to conformity.

I find it worrying that a handful of software companies will define what classifies personality "type".

How can we solve this problem, of the current state of the internet, without reverting to the compromises of the past? This has been on my mind for a while. The layer of trash some companies have built over the internet has been ruinous.

could the same be said of iOS?

You can also make huge spelling mistakes and use incomplete words with llms they just sem to know better than any spl chk wht you mean. I use such speak to cut my time spent typing to them.

One of the few articles discussing this Japanese book in more than cursory detail.

Fascinating. I wonder if this will help change the growing apathy toward vaping in enclosed spaces.

I still miss launchpad. Which is made worse by the fact the spotlight has become terrible.

Safari is unusable due to some weird sync that happens whenever I open a new window ( i dont use tabs) and adding bookmarks takes about 10-15 seconds.

Please Apple, help? Apple seem to have lost their cultish drive to satisfy UI obsessive like me who often didn't even know what we wanted until they gave it to us. Now, we know what we want, but Apple can't give it to us.

10 mil today... 1k in 10 years. Are OpenAI and Anthropic overvalued?

Fossil-fuel subsidies from governments totalled $7trn in 2022. Thats about 7% of global GDP. The world spends 4% of GDP on education. Source Monocle Magazine no.190 page 88.

There is a lot to unpack here and also an obvious solution.

Also, I have to add, this project is an excellent piece of work.

This was depressing. But, also, I can't figure why AI companies are valued so high. The models will reach a limit (ie for what most people want to use a model for), and compute will increase over time.

The reason the iPhone is so successful is because Apple don't let us use it as a "entire" computer.

I am just glad, that we can still run a proper OS on a proper computer. If they made a modified iPad OS for their baby laptop it could have been an ominous sign.

Summary * Use prose more

You make a note, they are designed to look as good as any social media posts.

You can share the note with whomever you wish, using what ever messaging system you you like, and the note will look as good as a social media post, ie how you designed the note. I am sorry, it does take a bit of imagination. I never wanted to pitch it as a social media app, but, its as close to personally controlled social sharing that I could conceive.

You dont have to pay to use it. Very few people need to use cross device sync and those who do seem happy to pay for it.

Ie, it is free, so if any ones wants to try it, I would love to hear.

I tried to make a way of sharing posts with friends without having to be on a social network... I came up with NoteSub:

I like it. And mass adaption is not required to use it.

I would have loved to have made this a true social network in some regards, however, there are issues of moderation and storage that become very expensive at scale.

Moreover, adoption of a new social network is super hard to promote. So many Twitter, Insta, etc clones have failed because they are just 'clones'. Not offering any thing new.

It should be considered although Thiel talks of 0 to 1... A great deal of dramatic software/hardware progression comes from a highly evolved successor to an average pre-existing product.

The iPhone was not a zero to one, nor was Apples GUI, they were just highly evolved versions of average or below average products that already existed. Social media apps are already highly evolved for their function. We need something better for edge cases, but the current state of social media platforms means that something supremely better is required before any adoption drive becomes meaningful. When such a product comes, mass adoption is inevitable; we crave and succumb to better ways of communication and contact.

"Just one more prompt..." I can relate. who else has been affected by this?
