For me growing up in 2000's suburbia, the closest kids around my age that I knew of were about one mile and major road crossing away, but to get to a friend it could be a lot more. I think kids out in a group doesn't feel like a safety concern to most people even now, but if they have to travel 5+ miles solo just to meet up with one other person, that's where the issue might lie.

What really surprised me was that when instructed to install Google Authenticator, a significant portion of people (I'd estimate close to 50%) would search the exact name and then proceed to reach to install the sponsored top result with a completely different name until I stopped them.

When the average user is only going to AI for their information, it frees the rest of the web from worrying about SSO, advertisements, etc. The only people writing websites will be those who truly want to create a website (such as the author, based on the clear effort put into this site), and not those with alternate incentives (namely making money from page views).

He says how there used to be a number of nationally known comedians who could make jokes that appealed to everyone's shared cultural experience, but now that's effectively impossible because a) culture isn't tied to geography / location, and b) niches are much more prevalent. I loved the example that huge venues can now often be sold out for artists you've never heard of.

On one hand it's not neccessarily a bad thing since individuals are getting more of what truly appeals to them, but I also think that the result could be increasing the barrier to connect with others because it decreases the chances that you'll have interests in common.

I'm currently in my last semester of college, getting a BS in Computing and Information Technologies from RIT. I started this degree planning to go into sysadmin, but have been gravitating towards devops / SRE skills. I'm a very enthusiastic learner, exploring with my Docker-focused homelab for the past 6 years, including running some custom services which I've come to rely on daily.

Similar goals with some very cool choices for matching letters to their sound. It also kinda handles accent variations with a few extra letters.

I'm a 4th year Computing and Information Technology student at RIT, looking for a summer job / internship before I head in to my final semester. Ideally looking to explore DevOps as I've had a ton of fun running containers at home for the past 5 years, and I'm currently taking RIT's first ever DevOps course. I am also open to build on my prior experiences in systems administration, or try web development which I've been highly successful with at school.

I really like that all the auto stuff can be turned off if you want, and all the capability of the screen but still having physical buttons. Plus I got 36mpg on my first road trip with cruise control set at 85.

The example I'm thinking of is Nvidia's newer GPUs and DLSS. The hardware would come with open drivers, but if you want the upscaling that's an additional fee. While maintaining additional drivers is more work for companies, I think they'd actually benefit from this because it could be a recurring revenue stream for older hardware.

For years I've had "node based CAD" on my ideas list. I imagined something like Blender's shader nodes, but this is even better.

I currently have a google home and I'm getting increasingly fed up with it. Besides the privacy concerns, it seems like it's getting worse at being an assistant. I'll want my light turned on by saying "light 100" (for light to 100 percent) and it works about 80% of the time, but the others it starts playing a song with a similar name.

I'd be great if this allows limiting / customizing what words and actions you want.

Unless the improvements made here are really significant, I don't see how this actually solves anything until we have moved to truly clean energy production.

Personally I think it comes from not being exposed to a lot of music growing up (my mom is hard of hearing), and just assuming that almost all songs were 2-3 minutes. I'd say that the thought process behind it also has something to do with longer songs requiring more time or dedication to learn all the lyrics, so it feels more special when you know and really enjoy a longer song.

All and all I wish my college did them, I struggle to sit through lectures.
