it's the AI wave of the original viral app store apps like "Yo" and "I am Rich".

To this day I swear I want Yo. I’d use it daily.

Right, I before E except after C, except when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbor. Caffeine strung atheists are reinventing protein at their leisure. Plebeians may deign to forfeit either that or seize the language and reinvent it

Has anyone actually counted whether that rule is more often true than wrong?

songshu · 4 months ago
The rule only applies to vowel sounds like the ones in believe/receive. There are versions of the rhyme that attempt to include this caveat.

Shortcuts is the strangest programming "language" that I make useful things in.

My favorite is an automation that triggers when I turn on my motorcycle helmet's bluetooth module, it checks the time of day and starts playing my favorite type of music for riding at that time - hard rock at daytime, EDM/synthy music at night.

I'm trying to parse the idea of "a collective agreement" but can't fully wrap my head around how that would work.

It seems to me more like the lack of a "Walmart Law" is a result of e.g. lack of economies of scale and other economic structure, rather than some collective agreement. (If it was profitable to break out of that agreement and start a "Walmart Law", it seems we'd see that happen pretty quickly?)

But if you know more about this and I'm off the mark I'd love to learn

I looked it up. Rule 5.4 of the American Bar Association.

1000/h?

why they're this expensive?

songshu · a year ago
They have, let’s not call it a union to not upset people, but let’s say a collective agreement that they won’t work for capital. They will only work for other lawyers. So there’s no Walmart Law or other enterprise selling legal services for cheap.

Why does it matter that information from a sports event that you are 1000 miles away from gets to you 3 seconds later?

Why do you care? Why is it a negative?

songshu · a year ago
3 seconds would not matter to me. As it is, latencies are much higher and afford time for my family group chat (WhatsApp) to "spoil" events that I have not yet seen. I don't want to ignore the chat. :(

That writing is the only way to do deep, clear, thinking simply isn't true.

Stephen Hawking is the first example that comes to mind.

He developed a remarkable ability to perform complex calculations and visualize intricate mathematical concepts entirely in his mind. He once mentioned that his ALS diagnosis, which limited his physical abilities, led him to focus intensely on theoretical physics, as it required more intellectual than physical effort.

But sure, writing (and drawing) is a great tool to aid in deep thinking. So are AI tools.

I love this generally but some of it has leaked out to the wrong people and there are strong cargo cults around such things as one codebase===one app.
