I don't think there's a USB-C charger out there that can actually pump out anything close to their rated maximum.

The entire world has social standards that people generally abide by in private residences -- set by the owners of those residences. Just because something is happening everywhere,…

> draconian social scoring This is a legitimate question: should people have reputations? Should their behavior be made more visible publicly, both good and bad? How? In a small co…

Build up with small challenges. Not sure how old your daughter is, but, for example, our 7 year got a gift card. They wanted to know how much it was worth -- so they were the ones …

Maybe the default "new tab" view for a browser could be an RSS reader? Is that something along the lines of what you're proposing?

Email is so well designed, so resilient, and so ubiquitous that's very hard to displace it's use as a central check-in.

For many, many tasks, you only need good enough results that accomplish a clearly-defined set of criteria. Smaller models that run 50x faster, in this case, could be far superior t…

>This makes these projects so much more trustworthy and easier to approach: >> Were any of the words here written using AI? Nope. They came from my mouth or my fingers. I have to p…

Anyone else ever think of somehow building an at-home carbon-removal system, for lower carbon content in the air of your living spaces? I know it's a silly idea, but one that has o…

A job doesn't usually involve a lifetime contract. And if it does, the severance required had better be incredible. Nobody should "sacrifice future career prospects" just for a job…

Interesting! Would it be fair to say your company spend $100k to $150k per month on this? Multiply this times many, many companies, and you can see how providing AI could theoretic…

This is indeed my standard practice. In my head, I just tell myself "I'm buying a month."

If you say "Our goal is to represent the views of the right wing", then you're making it clear that you are being honest about your perspective. This then encourages both you and y…

This often happens when the news source is not honest about their biases, or if they don't make their biases clear. Fox News is the classic example: Their tagline is "fair and bala…

I think Fox News is a good example, because their public messaging has always been "fair and balanced" while at the same time blatantly have a bias; this is just one aspect of how …

I'm not saying that media should be used to influence instead of inform. Rather, I'm saying you should acknowledge that you are influenced and will influence, and be explicit about…

You can't be impartial; everyone has their own sets of biases that they can't get around. These are sometimes obvious, sometimes not, but they're always there. It's not necessarily…

Don't try to be "objective" or "impartial." That's an impossible task, and anyone claiming to do so is being dishonest. Instead, own your biases. Make them explicit and public. Tha…

There is no micro-payment problem from the perspective of the vast majority of publishers. They simply don't want it. End of story.

Many people think you should avoid having bias. That may be the correct thing in some circumstances, but I think it's better to intentionally have bias, to make that bias explicit,…

Also keep in mind that none of the big chip purchasers (Apple, Nvidia, etc), want to depend on one supplier for their chips. There are huge incentives among them to encourage Intel…

Cloudflare is increasingly a problem in terms of blocking huge geographic regions, often without the website operators even being aware this is happening. All in the name of "secur…

I actually really like Composer 2. For my use case, between the planning tool, and getting it to ask a lot of clarifying questions, I regularly get very good results. I'm not doing…
