I want to push back against your pushback as someone who’s lived in both NYC and the SF area. I agree with you that Uber barely made sense in Manhattan. I never once used it and ta…

I’m not much of an artist, so for my limited photo manipulation needs Acorn is cheap, subscriptionless, and way more than enough for me: https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

Yes, but it’s not always perfect. I’ve been notified of an “unknown AirTag” while I was home. When I checked the locations it was seen with me, it was a random zigzag within a bloc…

A better comparison for numerical classifiers would be uncountable nouns. In English, you don’t say “give me three waters”, you say “give me three glasses of water” or “three bottl…

Always has been. Now picture what would have happened if we had been willing to do challenge trials early on for COVID. I encourage you to check out 1DaySooner, which the author me…

I managed to kinda break it. I managed to get “Steam Engine” and “Hacker”. I combined those to make “Steam Punk”. (Fair enough.) Everything that’s combined with Steam Punk ends up …

My take is that Apple’s prepping to have some chock-full content streams for when the Vision Pro or its successors become more mainstream, so that Spatial Audio can become part of …

Chiming in to say that the Ballad of St. Halvor was one of the nicest poems I’ve read in a long while, and kind of inspirational. I think I really needed that.

The similarity to China isn’t a coincidence. This is all coming from the cultural dominance of TikTok among young people, which (to my knowledge) algorithmically downranks any cont…

> Is it rational for a rationalist to want to be a parent, knowing that having a kid rewrite your utility function? You’re making an assumption that their desires (or, if you must,…

The poster pointed out in a comment that this was listed as “Sold By” a random 3rd party seller called “Ramwest”. Amazon’s interface doesn’t make it easy to see this, but if you’re…
