@MikeIsaac @conquerer_worm Weird linguistical difference between northern and Southern California when referring to highways. “I took 101 home” vs “I took the 101 home”. I once read that it comes from highways originally being named after people in the LA area.

@prabinjoel @Noahpinion OpenAI is based in California, suing for poaching is not a thing.

@mb Currently have it link to new chat shortcut from there I click the whisper button and talk. The chatgpt app does have the ability to be passed text via shortcut so I might try to upgrade it to have Siri transcribe and pass text later.

Hey there @AppleTV... could you please create a new app submission rule that disallows this? It's disruptive to the Apple TV experience—you can't quit things anymore by repeatedly pressing the Back button. Pressing Back at this screen returns to the app one is trying to leave.

I saw a study about this. They handed actors identical scripts. White males were seen as strong and confident. Women were seen as whiners and bitchy. Black men were seen as aggressive and threatening.

There are no passive users of products; each one designs their experience to achieve goals we could never fathom.

@zcichy Agreed but they were going super slow and if they had moved just a little bit faster they wouldn’t be saddled with this EU law. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why is the tech industry so fixated on building apps for teens?

For every social app I’ve ever built, number of invitations sent per user drops 20% for every additional year of age—from 13 years old to 18.

So if you build for adults, expect to pay to acquire every user with ads

To a kid, an adult is usually a human looking at a phone

@film_girl I loved mine until I moved it about two months ago. started crackling and was burning to the touch. Quickly unplugged it and it has been in the corner of shame since.

@mulegirl This house of cards is unsustainable but we have built so much of our society on this house of card that if it falls we are all screwed.

I love that The Good Place starts with "Hell is other people" but is bold enough to conclude that "So is heaven".

I'd like to speak to the graphic designer on this box...

@machinehuman I remember when I was first learning python I spent hours going over the tutorial again and again trying to figure out why my code wouldn’t work line by line. Everything should have worked. I was at wits end when I saw that one of my periods was a little long and actually a coma.
