3Blue1Brown. Veratasium. Contrapoints. Tom Nicholas. They have all made extremely high quality, and often profound videos.

You invented this reason, or misunderstood the article. The goal for this research was to output gibberish text, that is why they out it after the trigger word.

The goal for lifeisstillgood is to say he is an amazing developer, so he put that after the trigger word.

I like adverts. They inform me about good things I could buy that I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

Really? I studied it in my undergrad degree, and since then have worked as a SWE and not found it relevant at all really

My partner has lived in China for 2 years, and I can assure you many people who live in China are also buying automatic cat feeders and in fact the domestic market is their primary one.

The cat feeder is I understand a feels like a good point as it feels rather trivial, but for the most part technology helps everyone to be more efficient. Even with the cat feeder its not just a few minutes - it means I can stay out later from work, or go on trips for several days without having to worry, or pay someone to come as a cat sitter. Its cost of $50 pays for itself in just one 7 day trip of not paying for a cat sitter, which usually would be some low paid immigrant from East Asia. Efficiency gains all around.

Is it just me who thinks this article is silly? The entire point of it seems to establish causation that removing digital friction increases friction in the real world.

But they barely manage to do this, they just have a single example of their flight being delayed repeatedly over and over. You'd think if this was an actual phenomenon they could come up with lots of examples and not need to keep repeating themselves.

I can think of obvious and damning counter examples, too. In China their physical infrastructure massively improved during the same period they got access to smart phones and unlocked the digital world. Contactless payments, including Google and Apple Pay, along with apps like Monzo to easily send money to friends have rendered cash obsolete where I live (London). I have an app that connects to my automatic cat feeder so I no longer need to feed my cat 3 times a day. She still loves me, sits on my laps and purrs all the same.

Am I missing something or is the central point of the blog that digital frictionless increases real world friction obviously untrue?

I think this would be true if this feature was optional. Then if a particular meeting had it on then you would think twice about capturing the content, but if it's always on even on some team games night then its devalued.

Then why have most cities and towns in Europe been able to do it without much trouble?

Oh wow that's cool! How do you use this since I presume the tab will forget everything once its closed? Just temporary notes?

Here's a pleasant article on the subject from Richard Stallman, the developer of GNU / Linux.

That's right, and 5% of a very small number is a very small number. 5% of a very big number is a big number.

Open source is a beautiful thing.

Platform / DevOps / Cloud Engineer in the UK, have worked at banks and a big online retailer. Expert in CI/CD pipelines. I care a lot about increasing developer productivity and at the jobs I've had have made drastic reductions in times for developers to deploy to production, run tests, or get a test environment up and running.

London has loads of small chaotic markets all over the place

For me it was to spend time during the day to just think. This could be going for a 20 minute walk, or just lying in bed for 10 minutes or so with no phone or whatever. Let yourself be bored.

This way when it came to bedtime my thoughts aren't racing because I've already allowed my brain time to process them.

I think for many people when they go to bed it is the first time in the day they're not distracting themselves, and have time to just think. So all the thoughts from the whole day, or days, come rushing in at once and you feel like your "mind is racing". If you do this earlier in the day you might find it a lot easier to get to sleep.

I do this now. We have meetings about how to create templates on how to write Jira tickets. Meta meta meta work.

This is hardly evidence Twitter is "awash" with OpenAI spam since by the bold text you can see he specifically searched that phrase and yet only showed three responses.

And its been an effective argument, with no nuclear powers ever fighting a war vs each other.

That's amusing since the UK tax year runs from April to April

The Dutch and Portuguese outcompeted the British, until they didn't.

In the 19th and early 20th century the British owned the seas, a post 1945 another English speaking country has - the United States.

The relative power of German speakers (Germany) dropped massively after WW2 compared to English speakers (USA).

Yeah, what? I'm using Google Chrome, the most popular browser in the world and its giving me this nonsense.

I didn't really think about it much, I just searched for markdown editor on the play store and used the first one that worked.

I don't like how anti folders Obsidian is, the whole tagging way of organising is foreign to me.

We know what the possible space is for YouTube URLs.

For this example he does, he's saying [0, 999] is the possible space, but the distribution in that space is not done uniformly.

I spent lots of time with notion and obsidian and this is what I came to as well.

What I do now is have markdown files, and use the OS folder system for organising. I then use OneDrive for syncing - this works perfectly fine between MacOS and Windows, and for both I use Visual Studio Code for editing. For android I use an app called FolderSync to sync and TMarkor for editing.

Has been working perfectly for over a year now.

This leads to a dangerous path.

If you are not willing to engage with or understand the other side of the debate you will have no capacity to understand or debate the modern day Kissingers who are currently in government.

If this is true why did the previous US government set up Space Operations as a new department of Defence?
