I don’t think anyone would describe non-rent paying cohabitant as “homeless”. I truly don’t believe we needed another word. It’s just different for different’s sake.

It’s essentially the same word too:

“Un” == “less” “Home” == “house”

It’s just another example of the Euphemism Treadmill.

So are we equating Not preventing a death with causing a death?

Really? Explain.

Neo Nazi? Seems a bit much.

Don’t forget that email won’t actually be read on the receiving side either. The recipient will just ask their LLM to summarize it in a few bullets.

Yes they’re commonly called forensic marks in such contexts.

This type of AI slop should be banned. The entire thing, audio and video (and presumably the script) is just AI generated.

Worse, those amber alerts are really just custody disputes branded as “abductions”. They use the same word as when a stranger nabs a child and flees with it for nefarious reasons. Its disgusting. A father taking his own son because the mother has legal rights to it (or vice versa) might be against some court order but its inexcusable to use the word “abduction”.

I have zero faith that the government has chosen the right side in a custody dispute so I’ve had amber alerts disabled for ages. I don’t want to get in the middle of it.

Now if they were to invent a new alert system strictly for “rando nabbed a toddler from a park”, sure I’d opt in. But, luckily that really doesn’t happen.

Police love to “upsell” crimes. I guess I might do the same if my job depended on there being more crime. Reminds me of how a guy who urinates in public gets on the same sex offender registry as a really child molester. Inexcusable and only leads to public distrust.

Can you explain what copy paste means here?

I use Material UI for all my AI coded applications. Am I doing something wrong? What difference would Shadcnd even make in a world of Claude Code?

Isn’t either infinitely customizable via CSS? So what’s the difference?

Is it? Pretty much all of the trump EOs that everyone got so up in arms about were ruled against by the Supreme Court - in fact most often by the individual Justices that that same group got equally up in arms about.

Seems like the definition of hand wringing and over drama.

I mean remember how folks thought Kavanaugh was the end of the world and it meant the end of democracy? Well he’s continually ruling against trump.

As an Apple fanboy I have to say I’ve never been impressed with CarPlay. I’ve used it in rentals quite a bit but have found it generally infuriating.

Primary reason is the map. On the Tesla you have this beautiful map that you can pan around and pinch zoom in and out of.

On the versions of CarPlay that I’ve used, you can this minimal map that can’t be pinch zoomed. Seems like you have to tap the pan buttons by hand to get it to slide around.

It’s just generally unusable. Like I don’t even know why people like this. Oh and then the nanny aspect of your phone becoming a black screen of just enumerated turns with no way to actually see the map yourself (if the car screen is unwilling to work right, my first instinct was to go to my phone but alas no they brick it).

Before I owned a Tesla I remember thinking what a mistake it was that it didn’t have CarPlay because I assumed it was the best. Well it’s not. Not by a long shot.

This really needs to be done for a GLP-1 auto injecting needle.

Pretty sure it’s the same as an epi-pen as well.

It blows my mind. It’s a disposable, single use device that at the press of button:

1. Inserts the needle in your skin, 2. Slowly presses the plunger until the dose is injected 3. Then retracts the needle with plunger

Three distinct and seemingly opposing motions. With timing. All in a little plastic enclosure. It sure I can think of a toy with that kind of mechanism.

Those giant “push” buttons, which automatically unpushed the other buttons when one is pushed, are called…. Get ready… radio buttons.

Now you know why radio buttons are called that in modern UIs.

I’d be curious to know if this sort of thing could’ve been predicted through computer modeling. And if not, does that mean, we have a gap in our fundamental fluid equations?

And if so, couldn’t we just have a model iterate on different surface patterns and optimize?

Toyota has done the world no justice by tricking most buyers into thinking they’re somehow leveraging the power of electricity when they buy a hybrid car. As if they’re somehow driving a sort of EV.

As the speaker in the video clearly articulates, a hybrid is a gas burning car. Full stop. (Ignoring plugins).

In fact, the technology very easily could’ve just been transparent to the User, and hardly even marketed. I mean, there’s countless dodads in a car that contribute to its overall improvement in fuel economy, and car companies have been adding these features over the last forty years. None of them have declared the car to be of an entirely new class the way this particular marginal improvement did.

Don’t fool yourself, you’re still driving a gas car, it’s still burning fossil fuels l, just marginally less of them.

If all of this effort had been to migrate to EVs I feel like we’d be in a better position.
