I would expand this to "why most software notifications get skipped". Because they are in the interest of the vendor and get in my way! The amount of interruptions on a given day, …

It's a shame, I used to browse Pinterest for woodworking ideas. A year ago, I noticed some of the results were AI generated. Now almost ALL results are AI generated, included the o…

I am very curious what the product really looked like.

You should read "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman.

I have rated hundreds of books in Goodreads and it still gives me crummy recommendations. For example, other books by the same author, or just books in the same genre with high rat…

A few years ago I promised myself to read the top of "must reads" from world literature. Many of them were literally unreadable (hello Moby Dick). But some of them are true gems, m…

Thank you very much, I have always wished for something like this to be part of Goodreads itself. The intersect function especially will help me find hidden gems that other likemin…

I live in an neighborhood with a lot of retired people, and I agree with the "busy work" sentiment. As soon as some leaves have fallen, you can hear them firing up their leafblower…

I think you should read it like this: "AI is an existential risk for humanity ...". ... so you should trust only us to build it "AI as an industry should be regulated ..." ... to m…

Let me tell you, it is absolutely not ok. The family does notice who is and isn't at the funeral and they WILL assume you are just not emotionally involved. I have seen this scenar…

I wanted to say the exact same thing! No matter the subject, if you write the name of your own institute with "Oxfrord", I have a hard time taking it seriously.

"On a farm, a child is an investment. In a city, it's a liability". In the past few decades, we have globally seen a massive shift towards living in a city. Even in times of war an…

I can assure you there are countries where a credit score does not exists, and people absolutely get loans and mortgages.

Indeed, in the version I saw, they said "Pizza Hut" but you could see it was badly dubbed. Only much later I learned it was originally "Taco Bell".

Elon Musk, whose father owned but a humble emerald mine, and was driven to school in a Rolls Royce? Or another, poor Elon Musk?

Oh yes, and in a set of 14 disks, it was always the last one which was corrupt.

Good that they have mentioned the actual illness, or people would assume it was acute lead poisoning.

No comment would have been better than this comment. Now both the software and its defenders sound really hostile and off-putting.

Man, I first read clowndetector. A much more promising headline.

The best advice I can give you: create maximum opportunity to regularly meet the same people, in a casual setting. By that I mean join sports clubs, hobbies, church, reading clubs,…

They're not really cars. They sell navigational, entertainment- and seat-heating solutions. These things are used a few hours each day. A better way to think of them is like a tran…

>> 2012. Right, this site must be dead. Let's move along. To be honest, I love it when I see a fixed date. Some information is time-dependent. Maybe I do move along when I see 2012…

This really brings back memories of programming RPG for the AS/400 in school, almost 30 years ago. Since we did not actually have access to an AS/400, all programming was done on p…
