I would genuinely like to talk to these people, or at least the top few users, and ask them what they use it for and how.

It still feels to me like there has to be an angle that I'm missing.

> Even the victim’s family believes life without parole is the appropriate sentence

That is odd, if there is no evidence that links him to the crime why not argue to let him go? Is that just from a desire to have someone punished, no matter who it is.

Apparently the family believes that he is guilty but doesn't want him executed (but does want him in prison). In some countries the families wishes are enough to prevent an execution but not in the US.

I think a lot of this makes sense when it's made for mobile, while desktop users are using increasingly large monitors.

So instead of human matchmakers, next step: AI-arranged marriage?
KenArrari · a year ago
I mean, you don't have to marry who they suggest, but it seems like a good first step for someone you talk to. At least a little bit stronger of a data-point than "I liked her face and 140char bio"

This is kind of terrifying to me because I've definitely felt a bit slower since I got COVID.

My dating app idea is this: Men can only message 1 woman per day, but they get 1 more message coupon if they microblog about their day based on the premise that women are more interested in how men operate in the world than just good looks. If women don't respond after like 40 messages, then boot them off the platform because they are just using it for an ego boost with no intention of dating.

I like the idea of having limited but higher quality interactions.

Another way to encourage this I think is making it a paid service. Filters out anyone just using it to look at pictures or waste time.

I liked the bumble founders idea of having LLMs trained on peoples texts/social-media activity and having them talk to each other and then matching people based on that. Might be a good way to determine that one daily match.

I think it's interesting that there were websites like e-harmony that promised to match people based on personality tests but in the age of increasing ML/data-analytics/etc there hasn't been a bigger push to return to that, instead all match-making apps have converged on swiping on pictures.

I generally agree except for this point:

> Somehow, we convinced ourselves that turning our necks back and forth is superior to simply resizing windows to smaller sizes so they can be next to each other on a single screen, allowing us to move our eyes quickly without risking a neck injury.

This is basically the same as having multiple screens.

I think where screens help is when they let you avoid a context switch.

So for me if I'm modifying a class and I have to edit class.h, class.cc, as well as wherever it goes I like to have them all open at once so I don't have to hold that context in my head.
