If a jellyfish was able to have a conversation with you where it credibly described what it's like to be conscious, would you reject it because it doesn't have a brain and therefor…

If the replicas were truly exact, I guess not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course, today's LLMs only appear to have theory of mind at first glance and fall apart under closer scrutiny. But if they can continue to become more and more accurate replicas …

What makes you think UX people aren't?

I guess the missing piece from this would be trends in immigration rates. Otherwise countries like Canada would appear to be shrinking, when in fact they're growing overall.

Did you read the article? It's just a review of a book - the article itself doesn't have much to say either way about modern clubs, besides acknowledging the recent Pincher news.

The late 2000s Mazda concepts are some of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Unfortunately the list left out my favorite, the Ryuga. https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1028135…

> there is almost no one who would not understand, “It’s fourth and ten—we have to punt.” One problem with heavily using sports, gaming, and war analogies to talk about strategy is…

It's not surprising that pixel art is easier to make in a raster editor than in a vector editor. The 3rd image was probably made in Figma or Sketch though. It would probably take m…

This is really cool, I'm excited to see more ML applied to design like this. One project I wish someone would build is an ML-powered algorithm for perceptually even saturation, dra…

I don't really have relevant skills but this sounds really cool. It's the kind of thing I'd want to do if I had a rowing machine.

I don't get it - if "the mafia" wants "7% on your cap table", why would they reject your YC application and backchannel to get VCs to back off?

I wonder if what they meant was "it's impossible to have a turnkey solution for UX"? There are all sorts of turnkey solutions for frontend and backend infrastructure, but none guar…

This is the one they sell publicly to anyone at a relatively affordable price. If they make ones that run cooler and look the same as a normal optic, they might not be so forthcomi…

I was really surprised to read that most movies have a different mix for streaming. Most of what I stream has such high dynamic range that it feels like a cinema mix to me. I can o…

Sounds like the privateers promised on paper to hold British prisoners for a certain amount of time, but actually set them free at the first convenient opportunity. Franklin didn't…

I bet this will be generally effective at shielding their other properties from bad news about Facebook. For ordinary people, "WhatsApp is owned by Meta" is going to feel really di…

Regardless of where you personally draw the distinction, it's clear what the article means when they say it. That other guy acting like it's a mystery where the accusations of whit…

Your comment is confusing to me - the article is quite clear that when they say "white supremacist", they mean "a white person who committed a hate crime against Jews". > Patton pl…

Games are really easy to test viability for, though. The game has perfect information about itself, rarely connects in a complex way to anything outside the game, and it's easy to …

You'd probably do the same thing that powered ships do: build extra time into the schedule so that you never arrive late. This ship probably needs more padding because it relies on…

His grandmother is 91 years old, and smartphones are complex objects to understand and use, even with assistive technologies. If a 91 year old with normal vision has a hard time us…
