please consider this with the same skepticism you'd have of a "Laws of Engineering" website.

I don't think "vibe coded" is the right term for a supervised, deliberate, agent-assisted rewrite.

I went down the same path and up until last week had three e-ink surfaces in my house for this running off HA.

We got a skylight 27 today. It’s better. I give in.

E-ink is fine for display but too slow for interactivity.

Hi. I use shortwave (AI email built on top of Gmail) but I’m growing frustrated with it. I’ve never really gotten into telegram as an assistant. Would you mind sharing why telegram is the preferred interaction medium of choice here?

maybe so but i don't like that you're linking me to twitter for it

> It’s unclear what an edition's official support lifetime will be today, although Google has suggested it might be “like 10 years.”

ambiguous timeline? sounds right for google.

James Gleick's "The information" is also a great read on the history of information and society.

yeah i even had walnut ones made for my 100m because i didn't like the fake veneer

Super Thinking: The Big Book of Mental Models

https://www.amazon.com/Super-Thinking-Book-Mental-Models/dp/...

Written by the duckduckgo folks

Shane Parrish of Farnam Street has his own two volumes of this (the Mental Models series), which although designed beautifully, cost more, have 10x the words, and take 10x the time to get the points across.

TL;DR:

> For every tonne of carbon Allbirds emits as a business—from the sheep on its farms to the lightbulbs at HQ—it pays to take a tonne of carbon out of the atmosphere. It costs around 10 cents to offset 10 kg of carbon through its own Carbon Fund.

So they are holding themselves accountable for their footprint, taxing themselves "by funding verified emissions reduction projects across air, wind and energy."

it is exciting and inspirational for a future in which participation wouldn't simply be voluntary — thinking back to that great tweet thread about what it's like to have trash in Japan.

That is such a perfect example of ingroup bias in action.

You can label these materials as censorable because you, likely not a follower of islam, believe that material from islamic uploaders talking about a revolution and indoctrination do not belong on your platform.

yet here we are, with thousands of christian, america-first indoctrination videos, calling for an uprising against everything from vaccines to elections. IT IS THE SAME THING.

you do realize this is a "are we the baddies?" situation, no?

Tell your friend in design they aren't allowed to create any original content. They have to do everything using stock or readily available material. Build a proto. If the proto has any legs or fun, you've got something. You don't need to quit your job to know this yet.

I say this with privilege, but you need to be asking why. And if you are dissatisfied with the answers, you are working with the wrong place. As you can see from other comments here, skip levels serve many purposes. If in your case it's because skip levels are used to bypass distrust of your manager, then you need your manager to address that with you honestly before you simply do what they say.

even if i agreed with you about some of those points (and i worked at google 2013-2015, internally criticized many of their processes, and was lectured about "my place" at google), everything you said is independent of reading into someone's motives. you're arguing with a point i am not making at all and trivializing the abuse timnit subjects herself to in going public with this.

Just a nudge from a stranger: Please take a moment to consider the extremely difficult position "the individual" may be in, the frustrations leading up to this, and the possible negative impact this has on their career that they had to weigh before naively thinking that they "love the fame." that's gamergate mentality in action and will work against you.

1+2 for me, then i'd sub 3 with - access to the ocean, mountains (of different geology, from gentle rollers to crags & couloirs), forests, desert all within half a day's drive.

not that your 3 isn't accurate, it would just be my #4 :)

I mean this with no snark at all: Yelp has been screwing over not just restaurants, but small businesses in general, since the moment their first sales representative had a friend leave a negative review to someone who didn't pay up. Mafia tactics are core to their business.

Banning misinformation: Great! Except:

Youtube, the company that can't even be trusted to keep the scariest shit possible off Youtube Kids repeatedly to the point where I won't even let my kids watch it anymore, being in charge of filtering and categorizing videos? Nope.

The best. Also I think your autocorrect got you: It's "Bitwig"

Blipblox is such a disappointment (we have one). Worth $80 not $179. Totally agree sa77 is the way to go.

There is nothing similar to the op1 unless you are comparing size only.

Agreed, Golden Cheetah is incredible. I stopped using TrainingPeaks and SportTracks when I found it

Strava has been a hobby business since day one. It used to be a spreadsheet, and they made it into a web app. Neither of the founders are involved in the day to day anymore. The lead product designer responsible for ~2010 to 2016, Alex Mather, also left to do his own thing.

I had been one of their biggest fans for years and had an offer from them on the table in 2010. I turned it down for many reasons, the greatest of which was that they viewed Garmin as a partner and not a competitor, and lacked the hunger to dominate. Here we are in 2019 and it shows, with confusing pricing plans (pay for privacy?) and users paying to advertise for free with limited edition strava cycling kits etc.

I still use it because a) there is no better way to find great running routes than following strong runners in my area and b) i enjoy celebrating the successes of my friends when i log my data. But I agree that it has fallen so far and lacks a vision now.

Sorry to any strava folks reading this. It's not personal. But I imagine none of this would surprise you.

Yeah, there's youtube kids!

2018 you say? surely they've fixed things by now?

nope

etc.

and that's why none of my kids' devices have youtube on them anymore

This is all fine and good when someone's writing words about it on the internet, but anyone in this discussion who has built / is building a product knows that you're constantly triaging. And when you are triaging, the last thing you are going to prioritize is spending eng resources on a great experience for cancellation. I see some comments here with things like "if it's hard for me to cancel, I'll likely never X again." Well, the stats show you're not going to anyway even if we made it seamless.

FWIW this is from the ATAP group @ google, which is DARPA -> Motorola -> Google. Not Google X/moonshot/rollerblades.

I've seen the tech first-hand and it's super cool.

That's part of my point

Hi (ex-googler here, although i wasn't on this project). Product usage isn't a one-way street. It requires coordination from marketing, customer support, and ongoing product development. Inbox was yet another product that Google spent years on internally, launched with a bang, and then basically forgot about while the PMs got their promo and moved on to new projects, and so on.

To make a bad analogy (sorry) in response to your "lots of data and feedback", what Google repeatedly does is the equivalent of walking out into a crowd and yelling "HEY FREE HOT DOGS AT 1600 AMPHITHEATER PARKWAY" only one single time, and then concluding a week later that, even though initially the people who heard about the free hot dogs came by last week, since nobody is coming by for hot dogs anymore that people don't want free hot dogs. Remember Duo? Allo? Even Hangouts Chat from earlier this year is probably unknown to most people because google's stopped yelling in crowds about it.

Ha, I came to say the same thing! Add "make it an ordered list with bite-sized instructions based on survivorship bias" as well :)
