"up to 25%". This isn't the pitch you think it is.

I’ve been using #Windows for 30 years. It’s never been as bad at trying to be great for its users as it is right now. If it wasn’t for games, I’d only have Macs and headless Linux boxes.

This has been making the rounds... It might work in *some* dense urban areas with no off-peak hours, but applied on a wider scale, by an absurd margin almost every traffic light does not meet this criteria. This would create nonsensical temporary dead-ends in almost every case.
ā€œAllowing turns on red is an outdated policy that makes streets more dangerous and stressful for people. Implementing No Turn On Red citywide will make it safer, easier and more comfortable for people to cross the street, as well as safer and more predictable for people in cars.ā€

Stage 2 living large
If all went according to plan the 48 Starlink satellite should have completed their first orbit of Earth but we are still waiting for confirmation of a successful deployment. The second stage should have reentered the atmosphere north of Hawaii. spaceflightnow.com/2023/07/0…

šŸ¤” Modern scroll design is human-first. The gesture captures the sensation of dragging something, as we do with touch screens. Older design was machine-first, a simpler way based solely on direction, perhaps more like manual-shift cars. I’m not sure which I like more.
ez, invert the scroll of the touchpad to be normal

decades of software development be like: Step 1: take your structured debugging data and turn it into an unstructured and arbitrary string Step 2: log the string Step 3: take logged strings and turn them back into structured data

Ok well I guess that’s the last of the final 73 straws. I’m out.

But why, @AlexDainis? Why does it rotate at this weirdly and precisely synchronized rate?
Why can we only see one side of the Moon? @AlexDainis explains with her DIY orrery, which is the Museum of Science and @Dictionarycom #ScienceWordoftheWeek!

Secretly pays for blue. Claims E did it. $$.

Hot take: Kickstarter purchases should be tax deductible.

Ok I think I see why people are complaining about #kubernetes being complicated. The major cloud providers have done a poor job. Give digital ocean a try - not as rich in features, but much more straightforward.

Skin in the game. Right. The rest of us just stopped by to "see what this twitter thing was about" for 15 years.

I can super appreciate that artists feel threatened right now. From an outsider’s perspective it seems like there’s generally not a lot of wins for creative folk. As a nerd I’m just really sad that there can’t be cooperation. There’s so much promise and artists just want it dead.

In the same way that photoshop, wacom, and digital distribution created unfair competition for pen & paper artists, until the art community learned to adapt. Photography struggled to be recognized too. At the core of all art is meaning and innovation. This will decide AI's fate.

It hadn’t occurred to me, but music has been through this loop a few times too. Once with electronic instruments, and later with electronic music - decried early as theft and cheap imitation art, now a major, recognized genre with near-complete influence.

1 is fine, though copyrighting AI art should be acceptable so long as it meets fair use criteria. 2 is bogus. If you don't want people to use your work stop putting it online 3 be careful how you define 'educate' and 'ethical' - these definitions should be objective. 4 Nope 5 Yep

What can be done about it?
This dismisses the reality that creativity is not only possible, but powerful in partnership with machines, which has been proven many, many times.
Replying to @JoJoesArt
Creativity and art are integral to who we are as humans. Do we really want this to be automated?

Before the invention of calculators and computers, mathematicians and other scientists had to invest countless hours doing repetitive work by hand. We still teach math with a pencil, but the machine enables superhuman achievement. I expect the same will prove true here.

5. Scaring people away from actually learning creative skills to enter the art industry.
