<p>> Meanwhile, when you buy a Kobo, you are buying a tool that can be maintained for a decade or more.<p>But wasn't your Kindle that you bought prior to 2013 maintained for over a decade? 13 years really.</p>

<p>But to do that on many Android devices you need to specifically enable that in the settings. You have enable installing what Android calls "unknown" apps.<p>I don't really care about the technicalities of it. The point still stands that sideloading is a term referring to installing software outside of the vendors preferred method.<p>It doesn't mean its bad, its just the term used on devices like mobile phone where the installing of software has been traditionally more locked down to specific shopfronts.<p>The term being born more so out of Apple than Android to begin with.</p>

<p>I disagree.<p>It's a term simply used to describe installing software not through the official channels.<p>You'd be lying if you said it was normal practice sideloading applications to your mobile phone. The majority of people are used to installing apps through their respective platform stores. Which is why there is a term to name that practice outside of installing apps through the Google play store, for example.<p>We don't use that term on PC because it is the normal practice and our norms have evolved around that. Over time if sideloading becomes normal practice, we will stop calling it that and start calling it installing or downloading like we do normally.</p>

<p>I don't think that's necessarily why, as I know people who feel they can push harder in the mornings compared to later in the evening. Those people I know have always been early risers and hit the pillow early.</p>

<p>The article didn't really answer the question of whether the right time of day helps you feel like exercising. Just that you might get more out of the exercise you choose to do.<p>As someone who is more of a night owl, I just don't seem to be able to put out the same effort in the early morning than I can in the evening, whether it be in the gym or on the bike. I'm much more tired and I just can't seem to push as hard as I can in the evenings.<p>When exercising frequently it can still be really difficult to exercise and I try help that by tuning down the intensity of the workout if I am really feeling off, that way I'm not adding insult to injury by having a touch workout on a day I'm not feeling it.</p>

<p>All due respect I don't really care much about Musk, but my point is that a powerful person can have a done a good thing and a dumb thing over the course of their career. The dumb thing doesn't nullify the fact they did a good thing.<p>As the article presents, Napoleon is considered one of the great military commanders in history. But he also did some pretty dumb shit leading the many deaths.</p>

<p>Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit, because they're still a human being like all of us.<p>It's easy to look at Musk and say, he's done some dumb shit when his dumb shit makes news. But very few of us have the same type of scrutiny that powerful people have. He's done dumb shit, but he's done a lot of pretty good shit across his lifetime.<p>Nobody is infallible.</p>

<p>I don't know how Australia isn't welcoming nor not hospitable to tourists.<p>The people in question in the article are not our current government but the coalition.<p>Perhaps its not time to shun Australia given that the people (under a mandatory requirement) voted against this type of thing.</p>

<p>> When an agent generates a system you didn't write, you lose what cognitive scientists call procedural encoding — the understanding that comes from having debugged line 47 yourself.<p>How is this different to the person or team who wrote the code leaving the organisation. It's the same thing, its not having the institutional knowledge of the codebase because you can't get it out of the model that made it. So you need to create ways of maintaining that knowledge as its being developed.<p>Then when you say building the constraint before work begins, don't you mean just understanding the end of result before you build it. Actually identifying functional and business requirements? These aren't anything new in the AI world, they're engineering concepts that stood true before but were often ignored even in an non-AI world.<p>This article might be helpful for the vibe coder who doesn't have a career in software engineering, but its not news to the field itself.</p>

<p>Makes sense to a degree that kids have access to more food throughout the day as opposed to their 3 key meals, or dinner time.<p>Also that processed foods are much more palatable and "taste better", leaving more traditional foods tasting bland.<p>I also felt that as a child my tastebuds were more sensitive than they are now. If I didn't like the taste of something I really didn't, now as an adult there's not much I won't eat and if I don't particularly like it I'll still eat it.</p>
