@ClassicGamerTWR But the complexity ceiling seems to lift higher with every model. I agreed with you and started an internal tool for one of my businesses. The models seem to coping fine with increasingly complex features and architectural overhauls. I'm amazed to be honest.

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@ryanndngg @notch Because they don't have an emotional need to cope over it? It's a factually correct statement, and it's time to adapt or fall behind.

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@paulg Yeah but to be fair, prices only go down when less people want it, so prices are more likely to be low when you personally don't want / need it either. Hotel rooms during a big conference for example. What good are the out of season prices?

@thyrellx It's just a filter to get rid of casual applicants. Pretty effective one too I'd say.

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@LawyerBeal @adonispara Disappointing. It would have been quite inspiring if he had said it.

@GhostKnowsYou "God's plan is for me to live like a hedonistic moron and obsess over status and material wealth" lol ok

@itdobemikey @waynejones36805 People voluntarily put themselves through suffering, and many types of suffering are necessary for personal growth and delayed gratification. Yet the compass still points away, so it's not very well optimised from all those years is it?

@semitic_jew There's more to water quality than particulates PPM!

@itdobemikey @waynejones36805 "I have this internal compass which points me to some things and away from other things. Most people's point the same way. Why does it point one way and not another? I don't care, it's pointing there so that's where I want to go"

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@memechaotic Wake up to the reality that you will feel the same way about right now in a few years time. Accept it and learn to enjoy the present moment.

@TheOtherPaul2 @UpdatingOnRome "Warehouse full of bronze orreries" is both an amazing phrase, and a life goal I didn't know I had

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@owl_posting I'm curious about it enough to try, but how is there not vastly more effort required to drive traffic to the writing? Wouldn't I need to begin building a personal brand for anyone to ever read what I write?

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@rand_longevity I don't think this is true, because there most people who have been alive have been so within a human lifespan of the singularity. Aren't we more likely to be alive now than, say, ancient Sumer, just because there are literally more people now?

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

Oh look: Someone from a developing nation with poor mirror neurons struggling to understand things from anyone's perspective except his own.
In my scenario I am prioritising the time of the other person, you are prioritising your own convenience. It is logical, not what I think is morally right.

@inglesacadem @renatomoraesp @pegobry_en I don't care about efficiency, we are talking about personal voice notes that could be of no consequence. There's nothing wrong with random chat. Non-Brits must just not understand the concept of respecting other people's time.

Voice notes fit the mentality of developing nations

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

Because I have to sit and listen to you saying "oh and uhh... yeah what else was I going to say.. ummmm". It's totally disrespectful of the recipient's time. Easy for you to send, time-consuming for the recipient.

[Tim Vickery @Tim_Vickery]

Why, apparently, do British people hate voice notes?
Brazil lives on them - and they're so useful

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@inglesacadem @renatomoraesp @pegobry_en You've proven my point, it doesn't matter to you that I have to sit and listen to you filter your thoughts in real time. It is disrespectful: easy for you, time-consuming for me. It's not about efficiency, it's about respecting the recipient's time.

[Dev Invictus @Dev_Invictus]

@renatomoraesp @pegobry_en He is right; it's the content of the voice note. I have to sit there listening to you going "umm, yeah and, what else was I going to say, oh yeah xyz..." Because you can't be bothered to take the time and effort to filter your thoughts.

@levelsio About the xiaomi air purifier; I read they are horrendous for planned obsolescence. They discontinue a model and the replacement filters, and the new model filter is like 1mm bigger so it can't retrofit. Have you had them long enough to know if this is true yet?
