The link back to your home page is a dead link. At least on mobile.

The hardest part of parenting I have found is suffering in the short term to enforce the vision of the long term. Years and years of avoiding hitting the easy button, enforcing the rules, squeezing consistency from my tired brain. Their developing brains are insanely good pattern matchers and that reward chasing hits harder than you can possibly imagine. 3-4 year olds can feel your mental weak spots and will constantly see if different whining at different times or perhaps epic resistance at strategic moments can yield the outcome they want. It's like a super powered adversarial model but cuter.

The payoff of consistency is worth it. It buys you a sustainable pattern, which is golden.

On what legal footing does this recap feature stand? In fairly certain there are a non-zero amount of laws prohibiting audio recording without consent. And this wrist mounted always listening thing is likely to end up in a lot of places it should not. Probably burried in the end user agreement that it is 100% the users fault.

I'm actually glad to see it stumbled in a few areas. Always surprised to see how much it gets right though. I had always hoped the rather obscure parts of computer history and games would be this incredibly difficult area for Agents to mine.

The amount of non standard hackish and obtuse things that had to be done to implement things in the past feel impossibly complicated to touch today. Lots of people made it up as they went along and used the hardware in ways no one expected. Reminds me of Tim Follin doing the audio for Plock on SNES and Miamoto being shocked the audio was real. It would be so interesting to see what we could learn about development of the past from agentic insights into how code was constructed. I love stuff like this an appreciate the in depth post.

Embrace the esoteric! Grammar and sentence structure are but mear suggestions when everything I author can be claimed free form written poetry. The counter culture is humanity, we can be the embodiment.

I do agree though. Finding actual strung together words by humans is not easy these days.

Between this and actually portable executable I'm not convinced someone hasn't made a PNG thats a spreadsheet, or an audio file the somehow renders DOOM across the room. HN amazes me with the absolutely cursed ideas of implementing a minecraft in pure css (or showing whatever other nightmares one can do with CSS). It shows the most incredible creativity in what one can do with the freedom of arranging bits however one wants. I'm in love with all these cursed projects and hope they never stop.

But the bar for hauling someone to court and defacto punishing them financially and smearing them in the eyes of the public is so low. And the path to getting compensation for wrongful prosecution so fraught. What an easy tool the justice system is to punish uppity citizens thinking they don't have a king.

I'm partial to anything that looks like a nuclear control room (saw one in this list). It's like a while different generation of UX but derived from totally different parts, goals, users, and of course a lot of the people who designed these had been military. Not a lot of room for fluff, lots of room for clarity.

Love to see the dizzying array of ways people imagined data can be shown. Everything these days feels so flat. Appreciate the share.

Regulatory capture and lobbies will keep you safe and you'll like it! The sudden surge is Washington dollars makes great sense with this context. Only way to keep the kids safe is attested compute all the way down. Don't you care for children???

Why let your dreams be dreams? This is a perfect example of following a hypothesis. I love when people dive into an esoteric subject and just go full swing. Reminds me a CGP Grey and the name Tiffany. Sometimes you just need to know.

Reminds me of the old construction photos for nuclear reactors in the US. Astoundingly complex machines at a massive scale getting out together at what now feels like impossible speed. I can't help but feel like a Roman 100 years after the fall staring up at aqueducts wondering how anyone every built such a thing.

I'm positive someone could show me an impressive thing we built recently. I don't feel like that is my point. Im just astounded those people in that time could build what they built with the tools they had as fast as they did.
