We just sold our 2025 Subaru Outback specifically because the software experience was bad.

To exit a climate control modal on the screen you have to find and tap a tiny red "X" box in the furthest corner of the screen from the steering wheel.

We're here -- I use AI for low-complexity toil, one-off scripts, search & discovery, and as a sounding board for new perspectives.

I still design and build systems almost all myself. If a snippet comes out of an LLM I'm keen to use it's filtered through my brain as well. Polished and transformed to align with my vision. After all, I'm on the hook for supporting it and bringing it to my team.

I'm sure most of us are just sick of the mania around this and choose to avoid interacting with content relating to it.

It's very useful. But irresponsible to use without recognizing and respecting its limitations.

I have > 10yoe, fwiw.

I think I agree, so long as:

- age/identity verification comes with banning of bot traffic posing as human in any communication platform, by law - end to end encrypted communication is declared a fundamental human right, by law

I don't think we'll see that though. Too much money / power left on the table.

What they conveniently leave out is that it sometimes takes over a decade for a correction

Please tell me this is a joke, or that you're not building anything important at work. It's a very well known problem that YouTube's algorithmic moderation hurts a lot of honest creators, and their ability to make a living, when there is a false positive or is abused.

I have abandoned spotify - but I agree in that I think the experience is still pretty great for users.

There are other warts though:

- They're paying out the lowest to artists by far when it comes to streams

- Artist impersonation issues

- Botted playlists

- Daniel Ek investing his fortune into AI drone military defense company Helsing

- The nascent issue of AI music / artists (see The Velvet Sundown)

For me it is moreso that all of this adds up to artists getting the squeeze, and I'd rather try to find ways to better support them.

Kagi’s response headers make it such that they cannot be included in this report

The fact that the confidence interval range includes 1 means that the finding was not statistically significant.

The population for those two specific diagnoses were low in the study. Diagnostic patterns change over time for these type of disorders. Considering neurodevelopmental outcomes as a group may add more color.

You are correct that the study failed to disprove a link between aluminum and aspergers. But the study did prove a that if there is a link it does not result in a moderate to large increase in aspergers risk.

It is in clinical trials I believe, seriously.

Look up the Regeneron COURAGE trial

There are helpful nuggets of wisdom here. Also let's acknowledge some people are prone to watch hours of short form content a day, every day, at the expense of everything else in their lives, for a very long consecutive time (of course I know him -- he's me). They really are addicting!

It's not quite the same as Niri, but in case you haven't seen there is _A_ tiling window manager for Mac: Amethyst

No 'endless scrolling' aspect, but I find it works great for managing window sizing and bopping around your windows via keyboard.

I love all of the contextual metadata, huge potential here
