Pretty sure Adobe is doing exactly this.

If I prompt you to draw me a bird, I can’t claim copyright on the bird you draw. (At least not with a contract of some sort, of which you are party.)

Amazon wasn’t a service. It was a retailer. And I can’t 100.0% guarantee that I won’t get a counterfeit if I order today, so I don’t consider that an improvement, overall.

No service has ever, ever, ever actually improved after its company went public.

If the military upholds their oath to the Constitution, we should never have a dictatorship.

By your logic the “passive voters” would also support Harris if she were the winner. So you have to count them her way, too.

Which means they cancel out and no, “>50% of Americans” still don’t support the current regime.

Go back and read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43212390

“voted for by >50%” is what I’m refuting. It’s literally, factually untrue.

That’s some creative mathematic gymnastics you’re doing there. “Anyone who didn’t vote chose the one who gamed the electoral college best.”

But that still does NOT mean anywhere near half of Americans actively chose the current situation. To say so is wholly, maliciously, egregiously disingenuous.

EDIT - Showing my work:

US Census in 2020 - 331,449,281

2024 Trump votes - 77,284,118

Even skipping any possibility for growth since 2020, 77.3mil/331.5mil is not “>50% of Americans” by any possible mathematical definition.

49.7% of the 30% of Americans who voted.

Still nowhere near 50% of Americans.

I get that. I use it on a pair of 27” 1440p monitors. It really supports my preferred method of multitasking, which is really rapid-switched single-tasking.

It will get out of the way on smaller screens, though. As soon as a window gets close to the previews, they get out of the way, unlike the dock.

Have you tried Stage Manager mode? It kinda does what you want, but with the windows on the side rather than the bottom.

How does one synthesize a mind vaccine?

And more and more:

Got any sources to back that up?

This is Dead Internet theory in action.

Thus is the might of the “Industrial” part of the Military-industrial Complex, of which Boeing is a significant part and which Concorde was not.

Did you even read the article?

Unusable? I still use my 27” 2011 iMac. Other than performing like a 14-year-old computer, it still does everything it ever could.

That and the fact that it will brick my $600 HP Reverb G2 headset are two reasons that I will never ever “upgrade” to Win11.

To add to this, it’s vanishingly seldom that you would have a finished track where multiple parts of the ensemble are playing different chords, rather than each part making up the same overall chord structure.

In my department (DevOps/Infrastructure/CloudOps or whatever you wanna call us folks who write terraform and helm) we have a couple of set standing weekly meetings that we all get together, and one of the frequent things that happens is PRs get brought for group review. So, the longest anyone has to wait is a couple of days.

We also have a dedicated thread for PR review requests in our private team chat channel, which helps bring visibility to our-team-specific PRs that can get lost in the churn of github notifications from all the repos we’re involved with.

Imagine how much better it would’ve been if not for the military involvement. Imagine how many things developed purely to enhance the efficiency of destroying other humans could have been developed instead to enhance and improve lives instead. So many trillions wasted on imaginary borders and in service of imaginary friends over the last… ever.

It would be nice if the research could be just for the general public good instead of having to have an explicit use for the military to get the money.

> How far it it from Dallas to Houston? On a paper map, it might be a few inches. True, within that context. Or you might get an answer for road miles. Or as the crow flies. In miles? Kilometers? It's only fairly recently (in human history) that we've even had somewhat consistent units of measure.

No one’s opinion is going to make them closer together or farther apart, though. The distance (in whatever context) can be known. Can be objectively measured. That makes it a fact.

> I'm making an argument for maintaining skepticism in everything, even (especially?) things that you know for sure.

Are you skeptical about which way to put your feet when you get out of bed? Do you check to make sure every single time?

He just happened to be at the right place at the right time with the right equipment?

I know a lot of game hunters who would say that’s pretty much the definition of hunting.

And the spambots will follow them. Which kills the next board. Repeat ad nauseum until the end of the internet.

In my experience with both (currently subscribed to both) Spotify is quicker to extrapolate from less information, and Apple is more patient and observes longer-term patterns. They both eventually get to my tastes, but I can more-rapidly alter the primary genres of my Daily Playlists on Spotify than I can of the various weekly playlists on Apple Music.

I like each for its own reasons, though if I had to choose one forever, I’d probably pick Apple, but it wouldn’t be by a landslide. :)

It's a squares/rectangles issue.

Scooters are cycles that have motors, and are thus motorcycles in the most-inclusive definition of such.

> Quest3S … pretty much all of what the … VisionPro can do

It can’t do that “protecting your privacy” thing. And that’s a dealbreaker for many, many people.

Doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone12. I get the graphics, the debug window, and an inverted T of what look like controls, but only the debug panel responds to input.
