Information scarcity has not been an issue in a long time, most people have far more information than they need or know what to do with, hence the rise of analysis paralysis. AI will help sift through…

Hypercard could be reworked without the drag and drop, double tap or long press pops up a menu, select what you need from the menu. It would work like every other phone app and leverage the other apps…

To quote myself with emphasis added, "Something akin to hypercard could be made to work ." So something like hypercard but not hypercard and reworked to the strengths of a smartphones int…

Sure but that market was just starting out in the early 80s, even gaming was more of something they could do not really something they were sold for, the cool kids had a 2600, geeks had computers.

I miss OSS and /dev/dsp, being able to write to the audio output like it was a file was great fun. I spent many hours back in the day just using bash scripting to make sound, I never got thi…

Considering they are trained from the internet AI will be heavily influenced by cat pictures so they will only kill those who are not cute. The future will be people endlessly posting photos of themse…

Racing also helps support them, but most of that is also people with ridiculous amounts of money to throw around.

More pragmatically, the big yachts are what keep the industry afloat and without them the options for the average sailor would be limited to say the least. There is not much business for the navel arc…

I recently bound my Print Screen key to toggle my trackpad on and off, quite handy and a very convenient location for the function stuck there between the right hand alt and control keys. This is prob…

The problem is that everyone implements those nonlinearities as isolated and largely static things, which they are not, they are dynamic and interact in complex ways. From what I can tell the vast maj…

This is actually about the gearbox version, they just mention the CVTs. CVTs have come and gone from the market for many years now and the NuVinci hub has been on the market for nearly 20 years and st…
