Fine, 99% of China "landmass" does not have 50G. 100% of the US does not have 10G. The fact that in NYC, the richest city in the history of cities, most buildings still only have a…

This is the same American-branded copium we see during discussions of socialized healthcare, which every other first-world country on the planet seems to manage. China has 10G and …

And what has Mamdani lied about?

And how much have they spent compared to US companies? What of carbon footprint?

Depicting deceased people with AI is objectively distasteful, especially from a self-described "ad guy" who should know better.

Yes. Pretty hypocritical for an article about "crossing red lines" to use AI slop for an image of a real person. Very disrespectful.

Exactly. It's like the difference between thinking about tech proficiency in terms of "being good at C++" vs. being good at software engineering and being language agnostic.

I know not everyone has this distaste for it, but as soon as I hit the landing it was so obviously AI-generated that I had to close it.

Classic Thing, Japan. There are plenty of western movies that don't follow the three-act structure (off the top of my head, Apocalypse Now, Mulholland Drive (and probably most Lync…

Out of curiosity, have you tried running extremely light roast/dense beans through your grinder? How does it perform with them?

Anyone else find this stuff extremely distasteful? "Disrupting" creativity and art feels like it goes against our humanity.

When I lived in Bordeaux I remember seeing billboards basically advising young people to not use "txt speak" and instead write "real French" to preserve the language.

Reaction time is completely different to the input latency Carmack is worrying about in his scenario. Imagine if you thought I'm going to move my arm, and 200ms later your arm actu…

In Cambodia too, where the US dropped 540,000 tons of bombs during the Vietnam war.

I once wrote to John Carmack as a Quake-obsessed kid, asking for any advice he has for an aspiring programmer and if he had any favourite books. To my surprise he wrote back a real…

That is ultimately a better outcome than we currently have, where the exact same thing happens, except it's only large corporations benefitting. Politicians _should_ be buying vote…

Mushrooms have saved more people than they have harmed, I guarantee you. I believe you have a very warped or misguided understanding of what exactly psilocybin is and I'd encourage…

It is so cool that eggdrop is still in development. Basically how I first learned programming (plus mIRC scripting!)

It did but it was not enabled by default IIRC. Also fun fact the "crosshair" in original Quake was limited to only the character "+" from the character set. QuakeWorld later introd…

Yeah I like La Cabra but it's become a bit of a TikTok spot. The last time I walked past the SoHo location there was a line 50 ft out the door. Agreed it's a shame people here are …

NYC doesn't have the time or space for the kind of coffee culture you're talking about, but the coffee itself is as good as anywhere else — not Devocion though, that's pretty bad I…

London has good coffee, as well as NYC where I currently live. You just need to look for us Aussies behind the espresso machines :) Kiwis will do too.
