Brilliant Labs' Frame seems developer friendly: https://docs.brilliant.xyz/frame/building-apps/

Emotions such as 'pirate'.

Very impressive nonetheless.

Maybe the quote in the essay was pulled out of context, but it seems to suggest a false dichotomy between valuing technical knowledge and ethics.

Edit: Other than that, lots of nodding while reading the essay.

So, was it a Boeing?

Can iPhone do seperate volume levels for alarms and phone ringer?

Playable works of art.

He truly had that rare combination of gifts for formulating and expressing ideas clearly.

Somewhat related is the "boy or girl paradox" ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_or_girl_paradox ), where the answer to "Mr. Smith has two children. At least one of them is a boy. What is the probability that both children are boys?” may be 2/3 instead of 1/2. The problem is much debated.

I was made aware of this paradox by the book Bernoulli's Fallacy by Aubrey Clayton ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55825328-bernoulli-s-fal... ), which I do recommend as an interesting read.

This is not the exhaustive list of my favorite things, but lists a few of them.

Probably unrelated, but their software offering in healthcare is riddled with bad practices.

I'm inclined to think similarly. I think in a legal sense a non neutrally marketed toy would be something with a prominent "ONLY FOR BOYS" etc label on the packaging.

So, which toys are not gender neutral?

Nice photos!

From an end user perspective the better label would be "Fix internet"

Fantastic! I actually used your Quickz in a medical conference a month ago. Thanks for building that!

It's quite normal for parents to pay for their children's hobbies.

I reported one of these Elon deep fake ads. Google's response was:

> We decided not to take this ad down. We found that the ad doesn’t go against Google’s policies, which prohibit certain content and practices that we believe to be harmful to users and the overall online ecosystem.

Neat, you can setup SSH connections as native terminal sessions.

When you type in your server info and click connect, this happens:

  prompt> connecting to user@host...
  prompt> error connecting to remote: mshell client not found
  prompt> trying auto-install
  prompt> installing mshell v0.3.0 to user@host...

Install something on a server without even asking? Also, what is "mshell client" or "mshell v0.3.0"?

This is exactly the key point that I think the author just missed entirely. People don't appreciate the Cybertruck being bulletproof because they think they're really getting shot at. They appreciate it because in their mind it makes the car cool and they want to drive a car that they think is cool. It's not about the real life need but the capability.

As you mentioned, the same goes for 4x4's, but also motorbikes, sports cars and almost any type of car but the cheapest or most reliable one. Car purchases are not driven by need or rationality. Like Dieter Rams puts it, cars are people's avatars.

Good advice. Having empathy towards a situation foreign to you is hard. I would take the advice generally a bit further: do not judge. Judging doesn't help and only increases your own discomfort.

The article left me 99% disagreeing and 0% offended.

I'd recommend The Righteous Mind along with Being Wrong by Kathryn Schultz to anyone who's ever argued on the internet.

I can't tell whether the article is a work of sarcasm or the author is unable to grasp the entirely subjective nature of beauty.

Very analogous to the numerous articles both on WSJ and elsewhere complaining about "ugly" architecture.

A consumer smart watch being end of life should not come as a surprise to anyone.

I get the angst. There's nostalgia and the evolution of art and culture may seem like a threat or violation towards that nostalgia.

Yet, whenever I read about someone wanting to halt that evolution and freeze culture, it seems indicative of a failure to grasp what culture is. Culture is the evolution, not one state. The concept applies to any kind of culture, not just art.

If we didn't have the capacity to take a step beyond rock concerts, we would've never had the capacity to take a step towards rock concerts in the first place.

Believe it or not but in Finland this is done by the government. The tax authority will share the top earners' private data directly with the media.

How I limit social media: screen time limit. - Instagram 15 minutes - X 5 minutes - Facebook 10 minutes

And no access between 9:30 PM and 7:30 AM.

Works very well for me and my wellbeing.

Especially when it's a movie that's made from a biography. The mines weren't in the book, so they're not in the movie.

I agree that the facts don't change. However the editorial process becomes biased ad hominem and shifts away from scientific facts. Science and the people who benefit from science become the victims.

The purpose of scientific journals is to provide an editorial process and peer review, not only to disseminate findings. In this regard, I don't believe author websites and Twitter compares.

The will to punish certainly reflects the civility of a society.
