Load bearing is a funny one because before LLMs the only time I heard it was in the phrase 'load-bearing bug'.

You can't have a very good discussion with someone about something they've made part of their identity in my view. I'm not an instinctive AI booster but nor am I going to bother engagin…

That's pretty much my one gripe with the general culture of the Fediverse, a lot of people have made opposition to AI in general part of their identities and it can be a little tedious to have di…

Out of interest, would you have made this argument with respect to Big Tobacco back in the day? In my view surveillance-based behavioural recommendation engines belong very much in the same category.

I'm so glad I got myself off Instagram and Reddit, the longer I go without them the more I realise what massive cognitohazards both of them are if you spend too much time on them. Different mecha…

Yeah I try to refrain from shouting at LLMs for a similar reason, I fear that it'll degrade my own social skills over time by lowering the threshold I think it appropriate to use inclement langua…

I quite like the /i-have-adhd plugin which attempts to curtail the verbosity and habit of burying the point.

I'm currently working on an LLM harness for e-ink and Kimi was very keen to criticise Claude for introducing a bug that I missed in the tool calling logic! Really it should have been telling me o…

The Bigme's boot screen has a 1 Hz animation of the outlined logo filling in with black letter by letter which looks pretty decent in my opinion.

That's a good shout, surprised this didn't occur to me actually as I was only recently dealing with a print-based feature at work. That's a helpful link, much appreciated.

> If you’re working with a touch display, perhaps a hold-and-drag-to-scroll feature could work? Have no indicator when pressed and only refresh the screen when the user lifts their finger. I like t…

I really like this, what a cool idea!

Cheers, will check that repo out. >you cannot rely on color as an accent Yeah definitely found this using some 'normal' webapps, default dark mode makes it worse too.

I just had a look, definitely a lot to draw from there!

This is really helpful, much appreciated.

Yeah I'm dogsitting at my childhood home right now and it's missing the rural pubs on the dog route.

I would not call Turing's experiment ill-specified, on the contrary among other factors the paper the game is introduced in earnestly calls for a telepathy-proof room to ensure no side channel le…

That's fair actually! To undermine my own point further, Battersea Power Station in London is iconic. In particular the control rooms were very well-styled with lots of art deco ornamentation, an…

I'm not a huge fan of their aesthetic in its own right, but it beats the aesthetic of fossil fuel infrastructure any day in my view.

My massive Apple annoyance at the moment is how there's an unremovable nag screen for an Apple Music subscription on the iOS app, when all I ever want to do is sync local music to an iphone like …

I currently rent a 1930s mid-terrace, literally everything wrong with it is stuff I could address myself if I owned it. It's mostly the years of 'landlord specials' that would need undo…

Fully agree with this in the UK, the king (then Prince Charles) was on the money when he said that unlike the post-war town planners, the Luftwaffe can't be accused of replacing our buildings wit…
