if any android pms or execs read this comment, it should be like a slap in the face. a scathing indictment of the state of their product.

just hang their heads in shame and walk into the sea


We're at a point where the biggest possible contribution to humanity of many PMs in big corps would be to just... drop dead. Feature-freeze rather than furthering the enshittification, as that seems all they're capable of.

I'd wish the world would just become boring again.


They’d just hire more to replace them and keep chaos machine running

Probably this is after the italian word for singing

Or Spanish, specifically it's the first person conjugation, meaning "I sing" or "I'm singing"

Same in Latin.

And in Italian and Portuguese, but I think they might use pronouns, too.


yes, this is a very helpful approach. I take a similar approach, partly because I find bringing up negative directions seem to bring the undesired action/direction into the agent's view and makes it more likely that they will go there

a company is liable whether it acts via ai, an army of people, an army of dogs, or a purely mechanical machine, should it do harm.

Why would an ai with a mind remove liability from the company? why would an ai without a mind remove liability from the company?

In both cases, that actions the ai takes are at the direction of the company, for the company's interests, seems preposterous to me that liability terminates at ai.


ant+ is a garmin protocol that is very common with fitness gadgets and in the bike world. It's a bit like bluetooth, but lower energy usage.


It also got nuked from orbit by European regulators. The ecosystem has a huge installed base but no future.


Isn't it only using standard ble hardware anyway? So what's the problem?


They are both using the same physical layer, but the ANT+ protocol scheme is more amenable to ultra-low-power implementations than BLE is. The European belief that my wheel rotation sensor needs privacy through encryption has effectively outlawed the low-power attributes of ANT+ for future hardware.


I think it’s more about the ANT+ sport heart monitors.


there were substantial crashes and booms during the gilded age as well, it wasn't uncommon to go bust and lose a house before the great depression. The panic of `73 is pretty comparable with the great depression, for example


right, this comes close to rejecting the frame, which I think you could fairly do.

viewing npc as a category of person is inherently an ego driven, narcissistic way of looking at things. It is a viewpoint that lacks a theory of mind.

This essay implicitly supposes that the npc has a mind + motivations and that those motivations are more important to the npc than the player character. I'd extend it to say that if you are an npc you are a player character; you're just in a different game. Village Blacksmith Simulator, where you make horshoes, fend off pickpockets and sometimes a hero's dragon fight flattens your shop and you start over.

The flaw is assuming the player character is always the same.


Ironically the people who view others as NPC (and say so in a disparaging way) are likely more one dimensional themselves. I think you're spot on with the narcissism viewpoint.


have you considered seeking treatment? I personally have had some spells like you are describing, and generally white knuckled through. I tried medication for the last one, and I'll be darned if it didn't work pretty well.


No job, no money, no healthcare.


Hey Rami - was trying to reach you through the form on your website, but I got errors. Contact me if you're interested in a fun, paid mission. // JRO


I appreciate it a lot. I shot you an email yesterday. Have a nice weekend.


I didn't see the email come through...


wow, I hope you two have connected

you know a pretty fair majority of men are working in white collar office work, which is directly comparable in terms of public facing and social careers?

real loosely, something like 1/3, 40% are in these blue collar fields, and even in those fields there are enough sales and similar roles that prefer better appearances.


I would say different white collar jobs have different expectations for personal appearance.

For example, even looking solely at the men at my company, our sales reps, marketing lead, and CEO are all more conventionally attractive than our hardware engineers, finance manager, and CTO. And I would say women tend to be at least slightly more likely to wind up in the former positions than the latter (of course we’re speaking in generalities here)
