What/how did you learn from chatGPT that made it better than tutorials? How did you verify what it was telling you was correct as it has a propensity to make stuff up?

they literally had a press conference about most of these features in 2018

I've been trying to learn more about photography recently and this is the best guide I've seen, especially the color and tone section.

> The Twitter product has not meaningfully changed or evolved in 10 years.

In the last few years alone they made huge changes like Blue, reader mode, ad-free articles, super follows, birdwatch, spaces/ticketed spaces, the list goes on.

> You can't get banned from email

If your domain gets added to blocklists from gmail/outlook/spamhaus you basically are.

Generally more than one person is checking employment documents on published news stories (not tweets). Not saying it never happens but it just doesn't happen with enough regularity to assume every anonymous source is fake.

major news outlets like wapo have a lot of issues, like so many issues, but making up sources is not one of them.

I think the number of people who want to use twitter, refuse to install the twitter app for ideological reasons to save data, and also have a very slow internet connection is a small group of people, yes.

> if people don't like it they can do business elsewhere

in a pedantic sense sure, but in the real world no product that ignores the (affluent) 50% of mobile phone users has a chance in hell of surviving.

They did, but stupidly it's a paid feature

This is true, but I also don't think anything but a tiny fraction of HN is on a slow connection.

Does anyone outside of a small technical set care about this? I have no problem reading twitter threads — I think they're easier to read than this site!

You absolutely can't open complex sheets on the ipad still, I just tried a few and they're not functional. how do you open more than one doc natively? I'm still seeing online that it's not supported (using the browser doesn't count). And yeah, none of the extensions I use have a special iOS equivalent.

This looks great and glad to see it's open source.

I cannot imagine doing my job on on iPad, it's way too limited. can you open more than one google doc at a time yet? run desktop extensions on the web? open complex sheets/excel files? I have no idea what job other than sending emails and being on video calls all day could work on an ipad.

I actually have more than that, yeah

This looks great, good luck.

Have you looked at Kutt?

having a 15 day return period for games that can be beaten five times in that period doesn't make sense

You aren't forced to use the MS Store if you buy a Windows PC. You have the choice to use the "safe" store or the web.

absolutely, we rely on them for a few things and it's very nice

> a lot of very fat people, old people, disabled people, and so forth who could not ride a bike half a mile.

Fat tire e-bikes can support fat people and it's not an engineering impossibility to make bikes for fat people (it's largely market driven AFAIK). old people in many other countries routinely use e-bikes as they require very little effort. No, everyone on the planet can't ride a bike, but the vast majority of people who drive are capable of riding an ebike.

Mercedes didn't have an easy way to detect and shut off violence they just decided not to use. I understand the point you're trying to make, but following that logic, should there be no moderation anywhere, for anything then, if it's ultimately only the poster's fault if they post something illegal like "let's all go to bob's house at 123 lane and kill him?"

'blockers' like "have moderation staff speak the language of the country you operate in"? feature velocity is not an inherent good

> Doxxing, sometimes; swatting, no. Posting plans for any sort of real-life harassment on KF will get you mocked by other users and possibly banned.

then why does it happen all the time?

> the logical result is to IGNORE the emotional/irrational part of people when we deal about science/technology. As simple as that.

I don't read it quite this like. “science” concepts still have emotional impacts on people, especially when many things outside "hard" science get framed as science — think about all the management advice that gets passed around as objective fact (that also changes every few years, oops!).

it's not arguing about the truth of how many electrons are in a carbon atom, it's your boss arguing that they have a "scientifically proven" management philosophy that is objective. would you believe someone if they said that? even if they showed you a study?

> modern, powerful political movements say that "objectivity is a tool of white supremacy" or of the "patriarchy."

The statement "objectivity is a tool of white supremacy" is generally used to refer to asserting confidently objective truth exists, which is more of a philosophical statement than a refutation of the scientific method like it's often framed.

The use of perceived objectivity to enforce linear thinking and silence people who react emotionally is why this comes up in the literature you're referring to. You wouldn't tell someone crying at the death of a loved one that crying isn't an objective response to the situation at hand, but this happens in many ways ("why are you so upset about X behavior from a colleague? -> you are behaving irrationally" rather than trying to understand why someone was upset, and knowing everyone reacts to things differently)

They have a track record of brutal, lengthy harassment that has already pushed at least one person to take their own life after years of abuse.

did we read the same article?

I think it's pretty inarguably better? The alternative is never being allowed to be critical of the military at all. You don't need an f-35 or a tank for a documentary on American war crimes.
