For a period I was watching YC videos on YouTube, and they said the big company way of finding a pipe leak was to check all the pipes. The startup way was to turn on the water and see where it comes out. Guess which faction is in charge.
🥁🥁🥁 Newly out from us today in Science Advances: “Biased AI Writing Assistants Shift Users’ Attitudes on Societal Issues”.
Large Language Models are providing users with autocomplete writing suggestions on many platforms. Could these suggestions shift users’ own attitudes? (spoiler: YES) (1/7)
Whoever's going to Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz events, I'd guess.
It's too late for me, save yourselves.
I did wonder if something like this could be fit into fish shapes for the ones about fish.
100% the "This is Fine" dog this week.
Could be a consistency argument if other screens have titles in same slot.
On that first screen, it's showing a single link, so I also wonder whether showing a plural section title is just confusing.
I wonder if "Links" title is doing much there. It works okay as a tab bar item, and the transition from large to small title is classy, but overall feels like dead weight, raises question to me of whether that's the right descriptor for the items.
Every morning I open this website and spend like 45 minutes scrolling. It's a wildly unproductive start to my day.
And for that matter on the weather watch story, though it's a long way to scroll for it.
I do that see that on this story, which is also bylined the same way: www.cleveland.com/lake-county/...
I wonder if that first thing is a limitation of how many bylines show on that card, and if joint human/machine bylines aren't a good compromise when both are involved. But "Local Express Desk" doesn't tell me AI was involved at all, unless I click through to the author page to find this:
I was just thinking about how cool and weird The Line is the other day!
The plan was originally to switch off but hit stumbling blocks with the other books (The Trial, Slouching Towards Bethlehem). Having trouble summoning mindfulness. Needs a reboot.
I almost branded this the "AIkea effect," but not the first person to do so. Which I mean, Ikea is popular, so maybe that's fine?
I'm in year two of a project to read Swann's Way, and having real trouble getting through his high society roast of the Verdurins.
Or does vibe coding benefit from the halo of an Ikea effect?
Like I understand why the illusion of everyone having affordable tailored clothing in a mass industrial era is compelling, but is that really what's going to happen?
A thing I think about when I think about vibe coding is how Levi's promised an era of mass customization where the casual consumer could get an exactly fitting pair of jeans, that didn't happen and we're still all buying the same pair.
Have you tried it with MedGemma?
It's also not clear how much this matters: you can be the most prepared or the least prepared, and it won't. And if it does become a vulnerability, you can augment a ticket a la Obama/Biden. It's a big part of the job, though, so there's an obligation to get voters as much information as possible.
Yeah, and if you're too slick, then you get called inauthentic. I think the Times would have more credibility if prior politics editors hadn't shown they had an axe to grind with the squad.
There is a fairness argument to be made about the benefit other candidates receive from cleanup. And it'll be interesting to watch her evolution on this.
I watched the video, and I think I would have described the moment, including the pauses, interspersed with the quote and removed some of the "ums." Tough call to make because you don't want to convey less than the full thing.
I like this take. The point of the trip was to burnish her credentials on the world stage ahead of possibly running for higher office, that she didn't have an answer on this points to a weakness on foreign policy. Most quotes are cleaned up, but every so often the stumbling is important to convey.
恭喜發財
So that's what all the guys at the beach barbecue pit were watching on a tablet.
Is that because you're wearing the wide-brimmed hat with a card that says "press" in it?
There's a huge difference between "the package never arrived" versus "I saw someone steal it," in terms of the assumption of who's responsible.
