IMO a UI library landing page should always contain a screenshot example of the UI. I can’t find a screenshot of it anywhere, let alone the landing page.

While the mental image of eating roadkill is also unappetizing to me, I have to admit my reaction here is irrational. Eating roadkill isn’t much different from eating wild game you…

> In 2025, after a £12m investment, YASA opened the UK's first axial-flux super factory, in Oxfordshire. It’s a little sad to me that fundamental innovations in electromechanical e…

Yes, but with the “revolving door” between private financial institutions and government financial policy/regulation, there’s little real distinction anymore between the two. Those…

I had no idea Keynes had similar ideas, so I definitely should read his work (and economics literature in general). I probably should generalize my thoughts though to say “expectat…

The thing is, you can simultaneously be completely correct about the market being insane, while also entirely wrong in expecting it to behave in a sane way. Cue the famous quote: “…

Intelligence and consciousness are two different things though, and some would argue they may even be almost completely orthogonal. (A great science fiction book called Blindsight …

> That's roughly how it works in C, and I know that it's also UB there if you do it wrong, but one thing is different: It doesn't really ever occupy my mind as a problem. In Rust i…

That’s why I specifically emphasized “perception and preferences”. Believe it or not, the science covers both - both what people can perceive, and what people care about and value.…

You have to understand that your own perceptual experience is not identical to that of all other humans. Without recognizing that, we will inevitably end up talking past each other…

It’s deeply flawed logic at best (or an intentional red herring at worst) to cite the existence of pseudoscience discussed elsewhere, as an argument against real science being disc…

I have absolutely no problem paying a premium for an upgraded display. The problem is that Apple does not offer that option for the MacBook Air. The MacBook Pro has an amazing scre…

Yes, human visual perception exists along a spectrum of temporal, spatial, and chromatic resolution that varies from person to person — I’ve even met some people who can’t perceive…

I’ve considered trying an ultralight PC laptop with a superior screen. But the sad state of reality is that: (1) Windows these days feels like a constant battle against forcibly in…

I really wish Apple would make a MacBook Air variant with display quality on par with the iPad Pro or MacBook Pro (ProMotion/120hz and XDR/HDR, at least). The screen quality is the…

You’re right that it’s not inherently unique to EVs, but it started with EVs and now this new dangerously fragile design (of having a single monolithic computer console handle disp…

I’m not claiming that quality or licensing concerns are irrelevant, but that: 1. It will not be possible to reliably detect whether code was LLM assisted or not. 2. Humans are not …
