You're getting very close to the motivation behind VisionOS, aka a 3D spatially oriented operating system.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing: trying to find a moderate position

That is because this waste is the natural excrement of an exploitative economy that lives in disharmony with its own natural ecosystem.

We need more engines not less.

I use BEL + IFFTT webhooks to trigger a notification on my laptop and my iPhone whenever something finishes. Echo hi; notification

With an alias for notification

Start by filtering out every publicly traded company. Eliminate every company not still run by the founder. Nothing that's about to IPO. Nothing involving ads. That's a start.

Says something rather concerning about our economy's ability to innovate. Short term profits always end up eating at the core like this. I see why Elon has kept several of his companies private. The market lacks vision.

I'd say startups. At the very least, it seems like companies where the founder stays on after getting rich tend to do better. Avoid Day 2 companies.

It's called a union. This is what will always happen as long as the employees do not collectively bargain. Their strength in numbers is completely neutered by a lack of organization.

I often have an issue with authority because it tends to be applied at the macro level and I differ from the average so the rules often manifest as oppressive.

Part of being confused by normal practices is that a lot of practices feel abnormal by default so we don't emphasize those expected actions the same way other people to. When most things feel foreign even obvious stuff takes on that vibe. Why wouldn't I help the bystander? Not because I'm better but because it's just as likely a choice as not. Very little bias there.

Fat content too intense for my taste. You claim the debate on saturated fat is settled but that's not what pretty much every major health organization says. Big keto fan huh?

Agreed. Java injection frameworks are opaque and accomplish what they need to with overly powerful mechanisms because of the nature of the language. You don't see that sort of nonsense in python.

That's because everyone in this comment section is giving wisdom about how to deal with the emotional reality of being abstracted from the fruits of their own labor. "Don't get attached to your work" is dystopian.

I feel like the bit about not disabling security features will provide some crucial limitation to apple's advantage. They have a habit of bleeding security into hardware components.

I guess they're maybe opening up to authorized repair places and just that.

Different components of thought should be specialized. Choosing the meta structure will likely have an impact on what the system can achieve simply by the benefit of compartmentalization.

The issue is that we are prone to inflate the complexity of our own processing logic. Ultimately we are pattern recognition machines in combination with abstract representation. This allows us to connect the dots between events in the world and apply principles in one domain to another.

But, like all complexity, it is reduceable to component parts.

(In fact, we know this because we evolved to have this ability. )

A more insidious failure is how google maps does not always show local businesses. When I lived in another city I would search for "tacos" and I would get Taco Bell. Never mind there were five local places that serve tacos nearby. These were not deprioritized, they were never listed. Search for them directly and they come up. But broad search.... you realize that the yellow pages app is actually better at a comprehensive list of businesses.

The real issue IMO is that users do not understand that ads pay for their apps. They don't want to see ads and the ads they do see they want them to be uninformed and general. They want everything free. This just encourages subscriptions. Which we're seeing become more and more common.

Meh. Smells of "rockstar developer" thinking. I'll pass. This is a job.
