I personally see this like a 1UP for rich idiots that are about to drive themselves into oblivion. Beats the solution in Demolition Man.

Searching for a book.

This is a long shot but I used to have a book I bought from CPS, Nobel Elementary book sale to be exact. It was a series of stories that left an impact on me. The two stories I remember the most: one, of a kid shaving with his dad and learning to whistle; two, of aliens coming to earth and thinking cars are bugs. I don't remember the contents of the stories much, but I loved the artwork. I've gone down rabbit holes and I've looked at book collections like "Impressions By William K. Durr 1978 Houghton Mifflin Hardcover" and the like but no dice. I believe it also has a story of 3 goats. Anyway, if anyone knows, would appreciate the KT.

I bought it in 1st grade so it was for little kids. It was a textbook for sure because I remember the name list behind the cover and wondering why it was never used. I read it over and over again for years.

No, controlling supply isn't as important as controlling demand. If China wanted, we could all be paying 6, 8, 10 dollars a gallon right now causing real turmoil. Instead it's business as usual.

Personally, I think the value in ChatGPT in health is not that it's right or wrong but that it encourages you to take an active role in your health and more importantly to try things. I've gone through similar issues with ChatGPT where it's convinced me that if A is true, therefore so must B though that may not be the case.

In the future, I think I'll likely review things with ChatGPT and have an opinion and treat the doctor like a ChatGPT session as well--this is opposed to leading the doctor to what I believe I should be doing. I was dismissive about the doctor's advice because it seemed so obvious but more and more, I feel that most of our issues are caused by habitual, daily mistakes--little things that take hold seasonally or over periods of stress that appear like chronic health issues. At least for me.

I wasn't aware it does it insidious. I always assumed I miss typed something, not that the phone itself was messing things up.

Whatever, man, this guy isn't wrong. Look at the example he gave how a camera made it so that anyone could do what only a few could. Novel art is just a candid shot now. It forced art to completely change its values. Much of the same will happen now. The difference is that with the past, we still needed artists to take advantage of them while now, it all can be completely automated. It's disgusting but I'm sure purest thought the same of every innovation.

What food? You mean ultra processed garbage that will kill you?

CSS was a mistake? JavaScript was a mistake, specifically JavaScript frameworks.

...the companies will be very pleased.

If eating a "good balanced diet" were easy/normal, we'd have close to zero disease. Supplements are definitely a way to get as close as possible to balance when day to day food intake is chaotic.

I don't agree. As with everything, it requires care. Taking a multivitamin and thinking you're good to go is delusional.

Use foam, problem solved.

This is how I feel about some LinkedIn folks that are going all in w/ AI.

Is this the proverbial writing on the wall then?

I disagree. There's a guy that doesn't have much attention that's creating fuel from burning plastic. He got crowdfunded. I also recall finding a website way back when of a dude that explored the old railroad tunnels of downtown Chicago. I would have 100% funded that guy for content.

Feels to me a combination of old web with new web tricks is the key. People used to update obscure hobby details but there really was no way to donate. Creators didn't even think to bother to ask. All this democratization talk seems to be the solution.

This is sort of what I'm afraid of. I reflect on a lot of people I worked with in the past that are a little older than I am now and things were rough. They'd basically try and find side work and make a living off of it but nearly all of them returned to the workforce. Now, jobs are scarce so I'm really thinking that a career change might be in order. With self driving cars posed to take out a chunk of low skilled jobs and with the self imposed AI that will likely cost 25% of IT job shrinkage, the future looks really grim.

Crass's song from the 1981 Systematic Death last verse seems prophetic, "They'd almost paid the mortgage when the system dropped its bomb".

You must fight the urge to click on controversial topics. If you mentally subscribe to any fringe idea, the algo immediately feeds you echo chamber / bubble content. It's crazy.

Yep! I actually mentioned this as well. I did it recently and though I miss some of the recommendations, I can't say I miss them that much.

Log out and you’ll be even more ashamed.

Regarding recommendations. I recently disabled history and recommendations and the subscribed tab has everything I’d expect. No more surprises and no more political garbage.

I'd be interested in knowing if he was multitasking and using a lot of memory. I know wedding photos are usually something you feel rushed to upload so maybe this issue can be made worse depending on system resource availability.

I have Apple Photos but I never thought to use it to automatically import my photos and clean it up. My process is very similar to where you've ended up. Thanks for validating it--I'll never change it.

Liquid Glass icons look like crap and it's pretty broken on iOS.

It's not wrong. I own 2 and we haven't caught up. These were 3G compatible as well.

Sanders is gutless and acts like the Democrats are the greater of the two evils even as they silenced him and prevented from being their front runner.

17 Air - 2025 - 156.2mm x 74.7mm x 5.64mm, 165g

Sony Xperia Z2 - 2014 - 172mm x 266mm x 6.4 mm - 439g

Sony made nearly equally thin but lighter devices 11 years ago.

I agree to an extent. Most phones back then had no water protection. They also didn't last long so most people carried extra batteries which sucks. Honestly, I'd welcome the whole non replaceable battery if I could completely submerge my phone in water. Maybe when they get rid of the charging port.

It’d be hilarious if the military industrial complex is why we get right to repair.

You do realize these batteries you're referring to resale at a decent price because, for the most part, they still function really well, just not in its existing capacity.
