Hehe yes indeed now that you mention it!

Nice. Though my car can’t be in constant communication with a cell tower or anything (too creepy) so IDK what the next vehicle I’ll buy will be.

Probably time to stop talking like this? Transformed, reimagining, deeply integrating—and the breathlessness. ok next, marketing

I do imagine in a world of verifiably ethical, open source, local software, the choice to click five times in one tool or another would be viewed all but equally.

“Ethical” being probably the most important descriptor there. A local open source tool that only siphoned up public domain art from consenting artists? Why would that be a big deal?

Meanwhile if you hear that spirited away guy say he hates AI and then you see his art imitated by it, that’s certainly going to rub many folks the wrong way.

Raised a question:

How much longer until it requires a forensics team to determine whether a meme was handmade or of synthetic origin?

Well we can kinda only go when the signal is accompanied by another indication like slowing and or beginning to turn - “never trust a signal” eh?

Whoever came up with that deserves credit. Entirely lovely and harmless “superstition” as far as I can tell. No one is hoping for rain so they won’t be disappointed, but everyone has that line (“lucky it’s raining on your wedding day“ or whatever) ready just in case.

I wonder if there are other white lie kinda pro-social quips like that

Ya @[email protected] let’s send them complaints on this

They gotta give us a way to watch adfree without spying on us

I get you, some comments are more natural when the story is a disappointing one

That’s great. Fun memories! Simple but exciting

I’ll waste a few moments. It becomes a puzzle. Assuming you managed to make it through the maze, you retrospectively analyze where would 99% of the country have dropped out of the flow and given up?

Then it’s an email to the attorney general if necessary! (I mean that’s been rare but when something is egregious)

🤓

Dang am I supposed to be dreaming?

mm businesses where continuity is really important might love this. Hire enough people so that everyone works 12hr shifts but don’t schedule anyone enough days a month to trigger additional costs

Great point that it’s a start

Ya we don’t all learn very early about blind not being absolute maybe unless specified

Gosh imagine profound deaf + totally blind, glad someone cares to design for folks

Braille on a smartphone screen?

How cool is it that someone figured out some digibraille?

A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls?

Guess they’d be huge if the person had their display settings blown up. Maybe farsighted folks would want it normal sized.

nutrition

Lil bit of a stretch huh

I’ve heard folks stretch it before, wonder if it’s a thing now but IDK

The best part of this company. Will they directly profit from this? Maybe but maybeee not. There’s a chance someone actually cares there, someone with some sort of power I mean. (Obvy you can easily argue this is in their longer term financial interests)

Yeah they’re anticompetitive etc. but damn this is cause for a smidge of celebration.

Very interesting, thank you!

We probably think the first contact rules in Star Trek makes some sense. Is HP‘s magic disparate?

Edit:

Interesting that Muggles will never grow to become magical meanwhile a civilization can develop drive on the road. So one day one you would have tons of people trying to marry wizards/witches, and begging the wizarding community not just for help but for advancement and personal gain. I imagine immense resentment. Would be a toughie!

If I was responding to this email on o365 my autocorrect (LLM) would probably immediately insert “OK thanks for letting me know” because that’s how I responded to a similar email last times and then I would press send and immediate ctrl+w to kill the tab and get back to my task, maybe 5 seconds of total effort

Illuminating example!

lollllll

Or a traffic jam!

hehe yeah, do you think they at least adjust routes to commercial points of interest if 1000 people navigate somewhere and e.g. always stop a block away from where the map said? or always make a right when the map told them to take a left (but the city planted a tree there)?

one of the big players hasn’t tried to offer some sort of premium map subscription

Would we have to lose these great features?
