> "[Tangentially related emoji] I have completed this fully functional addition to the project that is now working perfectly! There are now zero bugs and the system is ready for deployment to production! [Rocketship emoji]"

This made me laugh so hard. Never trust an AI model saying “There are now zero bugs”! Weaponized incompetence? :)

As a side note, I absolutely am in love with GPT-5 and GPT-5-codex. When I talk to it, it feels like talking to a peer and not an over enthusiastic (but talented) junior with potential. GPT-5-codex on high has been exceptional at debugging insidious bugs.

As an Android-only user, and occasional iphone user (my wife's phone) I agree that the iphone is not as intuitive an interface as it is was. Especially compared to Android.

I would also add that overly designing things usually makes interfaces worse over time. Designers assume some sort of prerequisite knowledge from a user which is not always the case.

On the other hand, having observed kids explore the interface I'm always amazed at how quickly they intuit everything.

Every vendor does this to this day - and its a morally grey practice, drivers hijack and modify the rendering loops of popular games, fixing bugs, replacing shaders with more optimized versions, enabling faster codepaths in the driver etc.

These changes are supposed to have minimal to no impact on the actual output, but sometimes vendors are really aggressive, and significantly degrade the outputs so that the game can run faster on their hardware.

Honestly, the pronunciation in this case is probably closer to English than the spelling is!

I don't know any Germanic languages, but it turns out I can understand a surprising amount of Dutch just by closing my eyes and listening to the flow of the sounds.

Afrikaans is even easier, as I get the impression that the word order is almost always the same as in English, whereas in Dutch it sometimes isn't (I think... as I say, I don't actually know either language!)

> I’ve tried to use my feed reader to segregate by 'frequency' before, but I haven't really given it a full trial—it still feels a bit awkward.

I'm in the middle of that myself. I have folders labelled rarely, weekly, frequent and social. Rarely and weekly I tend to read most of it, as they are the folders I open first. I only open frequent once I'm done with the others and I usually scroll through the titles and only read very few articles. Social is for mastodon and bluesky accounts, which I open when I only have 5 minutes to kill and I know I won't have time to finish reading long posts/articles.

Most Americans spend about 0 seconds of their lives thinking about land valuation methods, unless you count complaining about how their property taxes are too high (which is a global phenomenon in my experience).

And every municipality in the US is able to assess property currently, though how good of a job they do varies of course.

This site, as does reddit and a couple other similar places online, has a very vocal portion of the userbase that spends a significant amount of time obsessing over socialist policies that are wildly unpopular overall and largely impossible to implement at this time.

Don't take it as a representation of Americans overall.

In my county they set them to values that seem proportionally roughly correct but they don't really attempt to figure out the market value.

It all works out because the county uses N appropriated dollars and everything flows from that (people that think they start at some percentage of property values and then work to what the county can spend have it backwards); you currently own $X assessed value out of $Y total assessed value in the whole county, the property taxes you pay are N * X / Y, and the property tax rate just deducted from that. Whether the actual amount assessed is accurate is immaterial to paying a proportional share.

They are better at it on a fundamental level. It’s a completely different approach for data representation, offering precision and repeatability which is not possible with Blender's data model.

Blender may as well replace CAD apps in the hobbyist 3D printing space, but it will never replace them in the industry and professional work. Solid modeling CAD software commonly features more than just creating mathematically precise digital 3D objects, but also planning for CNC machining, FEM analysis, assembly and so on.

> The funding ecosystem will be set back years as this wipes out a bunch of VCs and investors

I don’t think this is likely. We’ve seen VCs overextend into social networks, “sharing economy”, B2BSAAS, machine learning, developer tools, video games and crypto, in the last 15 years, and they have very little to show for it. Something new will come along and they’ll invest in that.

Math is a language that is precisely defined by axioms and deterministic logic.

As such, I would expect that symbolic mathematics is something a computer could *potentially* do as well as a human, if not better.

However, as with all "AI", this is just another tool and a critical component is context.

*People* will need to understand the problem space well enough to be able to ask appropriate, precise questions and interpret, evaluate and verify the results. Otherwise, it is likely to just assist in making bigger, faster mistakes.

Contemporary issues have on novel nuance you aren't considering - globalism. Many political leaders, particularly in Western democracies today, are much more at home among other globalists than amongst their own people. And these people tend to be extremely unpopular. For instance Germany's Merz's approval rating is 30%, a rating France's Macron and his 17% approval rating would love. It's extremely dysfunctional.

In the past such unpopular leaders could never have been able to maintain power. So you have this weird dissonance growing where countries are ruled by people who don't particularly care for their country, and people who don't particularly care for their leaders. The 'populist' rhetoric isn't some veiled proxy for supremacy, but simply getting rid of this really weird state of affairs. The entire point of a representative democracy is for the people who lead to be representative. And in many countries around the world, that's no longer the case.

I would take myself as an example of the problem. I am an advocate for free speech, against war/screwing around in other countries/military industrial complex, against political correctness, and strongly support equality of opportunity. In other words I'm pretty much a textbook liberal of 20 years ago, yet these values leave me far closer to contemporary "conservative" populist parties, worldwide, than to liberal parties, again - worldwide.

I find many of the values that "liberal" parties espouse now a days are rather illiberal and extremely similar to conservative policies of some 20+ years ago. Censorship, war, deplatforming, political correctness, and so on. I think we may actually be living through a 'flip' akin to what happened in the early 20th century in the US.

Newly started applications receive focus, so they're visible by default. They are inserted right of the current view, so recovering the previous active pane is consistent ("left pane" keybinding, or the appropriate gesture).

Things on other desktops are invisible in every WM.

The only difference with niri is the possibility for things to be left or right of the current window. Overview helps with that, but I know what I expect to be on a specific desktop (it's related to the topic) and seldom need it.

I'm old enough, and except for places like 4chan, and ads on torrent sites (before adblocks were a thing), I pretty much never saw porn online by accident. The closes to porn were censored boobs on social networks when someone shared some daily mail article or other mainstream media stuff.

On the other hand... There is "WikiHitler", a game where people click on a "random article" on wikipedia and try to reach the "Adolf Hitler" page in the least amount of clicks... so yeah, technically, on wikipedia, you're always a few clicks away from Hitler too, but not by accident.

TikTok’s recommendations are based off as much info as it can get, really.

Approximate location, age, mobile OS/browser, your contacts, which TikTok links you open, who generated the links you open, TikTok search history, how long it takes you to swipe to the next video on the for you page, etc.

I don’t think it's really possible to say what TikTok’s algorithm does “naturally”. There’s so many influencing factors to it. (Beyond the promoted posts and ads which people pay TikTok to put in your face)

If you sign up to TikTok with an Android and tell it you’re 16, you’re gonna get recommended what the other 16 year olds with Androids in your nearby area (based on IP address) are watching.

No question that neural networks can add value, as has been true for a long time. The question is, how much? The current expenditures indicate that the answer is, "trillions of dollars worth".

If you call it "neural networks" or "large language models" or "machine learning", this would sound absurd. Only by calling it "AI" (with the implication that it will achieve general intelligence) does this sound, for most people, possibly correct.

Who to tax and how much is very much a political choice and how accurate assessment are very much political choices. You cannot pretend taxation policy is somehow a neutral proposition. Indeed, bad or good taxation policy have very real economic effect and impact on government finance.

If indeed you want adequate funding of government services, it's paramount that we find the most efficient way of funding government and Georgists believe that the most efficient way to tax people is the land value tax.

Social justice and economic efficiency need not be in conflict. Indeed, when a concept like the land value tax finds broad support from economists all over the political spectrum, it's time to sit up and pay attention.

It's just gotten so out of hand that there are multiple levels of pain. There's all the debt financing / private credit deals on infrastructure costs that will be defaulted on. There are the losses that most people will feel when the overvalued shares drop. There is the pain of tech companies having spent so many resources with very little in terms of viable revenue streams. It's gonna hit a lot of places in the economy.

One thing that was holding me back from trying Niri is its configuration was limited to 1 file with no way to override or include additional configs which is quite important IMO for having 1 main config that you slightly change on different devices if you want to make your dotfiles public. For example you can have gitignored "local" files on each device to handle overrides.

Just the other day the author merged 2 PRs to handle both use cases https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/2482.

It's not in a release yet but hopefully soon.

I am continually surprised that Apple doesn't offer an "older" user set of options, as part of accessibility.

My mother in law is confused between contacts, contacts in messages, contacts in phone (we should have one place to do one thing: store names she wants to contact. She doesn't get that it's the same thing in each app).

She routinely long taps on things accidentally, turning on or off functions she doesn't understand. No easy way to figure out what she reconfigured from miles away.

Tap targets are all small, with non-scaling buttons even in Apple's app. Making everything large across every setting I can find either breaks apps or has inconsistent effects.

Having all settings in one Settings tool means having to leave an app to change how it works, which is counter-intuitive (to change the toast time, go to the fridge and move the butter around) to many folks.

I've stripped the device to just her favorite apps, but I can't limit access to settings, controls, or other aspects. I just want an extra step so she can pause and "cancel" things she doesn't understand. Apple gives no option: everyone is a user with benefits (no super users in iOS).

I tried the child protections, but she's not a child. She should be open to watch what she wants, chat with whom she wants (yes, there is risk there) and that's the opposite of of what child protections do.

Long time Apple fan, but the complexity and lack of controls is becoming really painful. For folks who need simplicity and consistency, Apple appears to have left that far behind.

My fear, of course, is that she is future me: my interactions will suffer with mixes of gestures and mental controls and smell-ux, and my kid won't be able to set the device to work with my needs.

This seems like a good place to note the "center window" keybinding for windows that don't fit well in the screen (e.g., 2/3 wide pane next to 2/3 wide pane, or 1/3 pane on the right end of the stack next to a full-screen pane).

Vastly preferable to having to look at the edge of the screen.

The instructor is not SUPER engaging, but delivers easy to understand, relevant, factual information. If I had to rate it with a udemy monotone instructor being a 1 and a high end masterclass being a 10, I would put us about a 5. Better than the lower quality udemy courses, but not as good as the masterclasses with million dollar production budgets. We can make the content more engaging, but its going to take a significant amount of money.

You can make a course for free and see the curriculum but only take the first lesson, theres also three test courses you can see and take on the demo.

The curriculum is as expected based on the type of course you ask for. Like most generative AI, the more detail you give in the prompt, the closer the outcome is to what you were looking for within some reasonable limitations. Data is correct, slides are a little on the dry side (like most slide based courses) Text in slides is sometimes misspelled (like most generative AI images) we can use better image models that misspell less, but the cost per course can range exponentially, in advanced courses we generate as many as 1000 images. Narrator is mediocre, like some of the better lectures i had in school. not the best, not the worst.

Any big bust will have broader market implications, but I don’t think this has the broad systemic impact that the financial crisis did. It will likely be really ugly for those caught up in it, but a news story and minor blip to the 401k of everyone else. If you are well diversified keep your head down and keep going. If you’re a VC that heavily invested in AI, I suggest preparing for a Cat 5 hurricane now.

The biggest impact the average person will see is that the days of VC funded cheap AI will be over. If they want to use AI to cheat on their essay they’ll need to pay a lot more.

Both can be true at the same time. Similar to the early days of the Internet, the dot-com bubble eventually popped, but the Internet (and dot-coms, for that matter) didn't go away.

What people are saying is that this mad race to throw cash at anything that has "AI" in it will eventually stop, and what will remain are the useful things.

This is patent absurdity. What Hamas did on October 7th was an atrocity and a war crime. Many of the perpetrators, and of Hamas military leadership, would be very happy to be able to commit genocide against the people of Israel, and maybe even Jewish people in general.

However, there's no such thing as "unsuccessful genocide". Wanting to commit genocide and even terrorist bombings which target the population you'd like to exterminate are not genocide. To be committing the crime of genocide, you have to actually be in a position where you are actively displacing or exterminating a population.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza since October 7th, because they are actively working towards a goal of eliminating the Palestinian population from the Gaza territory, or at least from the majority of it. They have already achieved a part of the genocide. They're not going all scorched earth and killing by the millions for the same reason they're not launching one of their illegal nukes in Gaza: they fear international reaction if the move is too sudden and overwhelming.

Hamas, by contrast, is not committing genocide in Israel, because it's not actively killing or starving or displacing any part of the population of Israel. I'm sure Hamas would love to do that, but it's a simple obvious fact that they're not succeeding. This is like claiming that Al Qaeda has an ongoing campaign of genocide of the West, because of 9/11 and some other attacks on, say, British troops.

> On the other hand, having observed kids explore the interface I'm always amazed at how quickly they intuit everything.

I believe (for some reason) that to be true for anything a kid has an interest in. As a kid we figured out how to navigate games in black and white, Japanese and without any guide/tutorial/internet, just because we wanted to play Captain Tsubasa on our PSX.

Maybe the game was nicely and intuitively designed or maybe we just put the effort and time to figure stuff out.

Conversely, you get people (regardless of the age) unable to figure out the simplest systems (from a 2 buttons espresso maker to kettles and toasters) just because they can't contemplate having to sit down more than 5s to understand things out.

As someone who've jumped on previous hype-trains, most of us who get involved with "frontiers" know it's over-hyped, have more realistic perspective of it and are more-or-less ready for what eventually will come.

I'm sure most people heavily invested into AI (energy, money or time-wise) know the consequences of the bet they've done, they're not exactly just trying to earn a living.

If the crash/bubble-pop would have change of impacting actual working class folks outside of the AI bubble, I'd agree with you. But I don't think the bubble is so large, the people impacted will be people who willfully made a risky bet.

> Victim mindset (mentality) is the name for a specific set of traits that are objectively corrosive to and individual and society.

Okay—I was interpreting it as the mindset of someone who considers themselves to be a victim (which may lead to many toxic traits), but if we want to define it as being specifically toxic, sure.

However, then I'm not sure how that relates to the idea of a victim mindset being "built on the victim feeling wronged (not getting what they are owed) based on an agreement they made with another party which the other party didn't consent to." Suffragettes felt wronged based on an agreement which the rest of society had not consented to (nobody had agreed that women should be able to vote), but clearly you do not believe they were exhibiting a victim mindset by protesting this.

Can you clarify your point by providing some examples of broad, ongoing social harms caused by groups exhibiting a victim mindset?

Basic windowing barely works on it. On macOS is can click anywhere on a window to bring it into focus and make it active.

System Settings is 50/50 if it works. I might still be able to interact with a control as it’ll click through, but the top bar is still lightly greyed out indicating it is still not in focus.

It was the first big sign that trouble was brewing. macOS is being destroyed from within.

- ChatGPT still lags for me daily and I'm on a PRO subscription. - SORA is usable but extremely slow and constrained. - Image gen same thing, but getting a bit quicker and less constrained.

This is with agents not having taken off yet, and the vast portion of the world economy not interacting with LLM Ai? Agents alone will require ungodly amounts of compute.

Bullish

I love the full-fullscreen mode for things like VSCode and FreeCAD on my 13" MBP. Never have a real issue with alt-tab though I must say I do end up paying attention to it more when I am switching between three windows and not in a cyle.

I have tried to get this in KDE Plasma 6 (with a global menu bar) and you just can't quite get there, so you have to settle for maximised but not full-screen apps, which is annoying.

I understand the difference and the architectural history that is that "full-screen" on X/Wayland is essentially a kiosk/don't-interrupt-my-game mode, whereas on the Mac it is chromeless windows on a virtual desktop that you can't get stuck in if you forget the restore keystroke.

But it frustrates me I can't get that.
