Honestly even that is for beginner teams, frankly. If there’s good shared understanding, clear work, and good interaction regularly within the team (ie you’re actually working together towards a goal), just hurry up and tell everyone what you need, and get out. Fight the sludge.

Hollow Knight. Didn’t click for me. Don’t think I really like Metroidvania games generally, it just often plays out as lazy game design to me.

Oof yeah okay. If another human being had given this advice it would absolutely be a criminal act in most countries. I’m honestly shocked at how personable it tries to be.

Can you share anything here please? I’m no fan of OpenAI but I haven’t seen anything yet that makes me think ChatGPT was particularly relevant to this poor teen’s actions.

I think OP knows this. It’s an unsolvable problem. The conclusion from that might be that this tech shouldn’t be 2 clicks away from every teen, or even person’s, hand.

Google Pay is different in America, right? To me it’s just contactless.

Sorry, I do understand that, I was just thinking of an improvement that might help. I thought having the same phone number might work too but that gets dodgier.

I think there must be a way to deliver on the value of the app without it being the privacy/public exposure nightmare it sounds like. Speaking naively, perhaps a setup where you can only speak about a person with those who have actually matched with them.

Oh haha sorry!

Sorry, it just read to me like you’re presuming a old person that struggles with tech would be a woman. I should’ve left a more constructive comment.

Couldn’t agree more - there are some wonderful insights to gain from seeing your own kids grow up, but I don’t think this is one of them.

Kids are certainly building a vocabulary and learning about the world, but LLMs don’t learn.

Yeah it’s not exactly going to be WCAG AAA either.

Maybe I’m crazy as well but 10kW doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me either? Why do I need a battery for that? I’m in the UK and my shower draws 10kW all by its little self.

This looks brilliant in a lot of ways. For me being able to set a precise temperature would be incredible. I have some doubts about the battery system though. I can understand the utility but surely it will degrade over time? I can’t see how it’s the last stove top I’ll ever need. The battery combined with the software update thing makes it feel like another product I’ll have to rebuy every 3 years or so.

I really appreciate you responding to me in good faith, thanks. I know it’s a fine line, but generally for me not liking the terms of the agreement isn’t enough for me to force my own terms. That said, the one time I’ve pirated something in the last few years was when Prime removed a show from the platform when I had 1.5 episodes of 5 seasons left to go. The idea of paying an extra 10 quid to watch maybe 1% of an otherwise ‘free’ show pissed me off haha.

So I’m not following my philosophy perfectly either. If it came to something like wanting to watch The Mandalorian from scratch though, I would wait and buy the DVD/BluRay.

Definitely a dissenting view but one I can’t help but agree with. Same applies to piracy for me. You don’t want to give Disney money? Fair enough. Very reasonable. You still “need” to watch The Mandalorian? Okay…

On the topic of active investing, I’ve been led to believe there is some case for investing in brown/unethical companies (eg oil industry) on the basis that the investment only be used for green projects. Obviously this isn’t something an individual investor could do, but the principle is that a massive oil company like Shell could do more good with a large investment, bringing in large coordinated green programmes or just undoing their brown programmes, than that same investment split up into lots of smaller and newer green companies with different goals, lots of independent overhead etc.

I’m as equipped to make the argument as I am able to enact it, but I think it’s an interesting thought at least.

I’ve said it before, but music chords/tabs.

I’m just surprised that anyone didn’t assume this was happening. If most people are using playlists generated by Spotify, how are they not expecting Spotify to choose songs that are also in their interest? Furthermore, how would this be different from the practices of a radio station? Seems like manufactured outrage to me.
