When I enter Zen Mode, my notifications are brought along for the ride, which is not what I had hoped for. I get a ton of persistent notifications and I just tend to let them stay …

What's stopping someone from literally cloning the minimal feature-set we loved, and so many people here seem to be pining for? I scrolled down a fair bit and didn't see anyone pos…

I've heard this quote before, and I don't get it. This article fails to show me just how complicated that is. When I think "complicated," I think of a multiplicity of interconnecte…

I'm sure your idea's great, but I was hoping for a regionally local-first podcast app when I clicked the link, e.g. something that would show me podcasts from near where I live.

When I went (15 yrs ago?), there was also the problem of armed locals. I can't remember if they were some guerrilla group or just opportunistic bandits, but we had to caravan to ge…

I love the em dash; I use 'em all the time. But finding them all over this post indicates, maybe, possible, (probably?), that the author at least used AI generated text as a first …

Honest question: who else, internal to the executive branch, and besides the president, should be able to interpret the laws for the executive branch? By my reading, this is a clar…

I think the assertion that "eating less usually means eating less meat" is probably false (though I couldn't read the article cuz paywall). The first article talks plenty about why…

It's not mentioned in the abstract but there's a brain activity measuring device involved as well. So this is neurofeedback. But is it any better than existing neurofeedback which …

I don't see how this is linked to AI. The article doesn't mention AI at all. We know that the number of books being released has exploded in general due to AI, but are those books …

It's curious, to me at least, why they didn't just go back and fix those themselves later. The early ones were on CD (or tape?), so maybe that's why.

I think I'd prefer to have options for each audiobook. I have favorite narrators, and find others unlistenable. There are also thousands and thousands of books that will never othe…

Some already punish you by deleting your account history after 9 months. I'm surprised we haven't seen activation and cancelation fees start to get added. But this was the whole va…

I switched to the Arc browser this year, and I love it. The best feature is that it auto-closes tabs. It makes having different spaces for work and personal browsing easy, and they…

What do you mean 28h day? Are you going to bed 4 hours later every day than the day before? How can you do this and keep a job, or even schedule appointments several weeks out?

I know you said buy - but the public library has a good collection (at least where I live).

"Twitter censored content at the request of the Turkish government" What are we expecting here? If there's a legal requirement Twitter has to follow, vs getting banned, what should…

These systems don't have agency. They have no desire to replicate, or do any of the other things you mention. The biggest risk with these systems is that they'll amplify the abilit…

Pretty sure California's Automatic Renewal law makes this illegal. Does NatGeo have different cancelation processes by state/country?

I tried this. I ended up with 11 pairs of threadbare socks and 1 new fluffy pair.

Great idea! I changed the prompt to this: "Rewrite this for brevity, in outline form:" I prefer the responses this way, rather than the 3rd person book report style the other promp…

I mean... fine, but IMO it's not the number of pardons issued that made this top of mind, but rather the constant controversy around people given pardons, gossip about people who r…

I wish the 2nd Amendment folks would care about the 4th Amendment just as much.

This is the part that sticks out to me: "Hearing aids cost a fortune, and Medicare doesn’t cover them." So, like, we (Americans) have bought into this system where basic health car…
