What it means is some people are able to potentially improve their lives by recognizing a pattern of behavior and educating themselves about strategies (including medication) that might help.

It’s not like I’ve never heard the points you mentioned before, but I think you did a great job of assembling these ideas and presenting them in a sensible way… it’s legitimately made me far more empathetic to the AI haters and perhaps has even tempered my near-term optimism about AI.

I say near-term because I’m not so optimistic about AI in the medium- or long-term. And the short term may well be tiny.

I’m quite turned off by just how many grumpy people here have to shit on everything they possibly can.

It was nice to finally read a comment that is unabashedly positive.

It occurred to me that this is a wonderful way to design software: you immediately know the keyboard shortcuts because you’re already looking at them. I’m working on taking what I’ve built for the qwerty midi keyboard controller (which is built on hammerspoon) and making it just a generic interface for any kind of app.

If the end goal is navigating and controlling the app via keyboard shortcuts, so why not bake that into the design of the GUI itself?

Did they fix this known flaw that has ruined hundreds of people’s very expensive headphones? Nope.

Should have gotten AppleCare, but I didn’t know walking with them in the cold for 15 minutes would destroy them so easily.

I absolutely don’t miss wired headphones. The idea that wireless headphones aren’t superior is insane to me. I think the one thing is battery degradation, but honestly, buying a new pair every 5 years is well worth the convenience of no cables in my mind. Especially headphones that switch well between devices are a big QoL upgrade.

I do wish all wireless headphones had a little jack for wired playback though, for one reason: instrument playback. Latency is absolutely unacceptable there; and it’s a shame I can’t plug my AirPods in. But I’m not surprised or angry at their omission; but on over-ear phones, it’s inexcusable.

This is the most counter-intuitive, user-unfriendly, confusing piece of software that I’ve used in my life.

Insane hyperbole in my opinion. Most of his complaints are that of a power user, and because it’s missing something he liked from Gnome. Fair enough I guess, the stuff he talks about does sound nice.

Later on in the article:

> The macOS itself isn’t all that bad.

I agree, verifiability makes sense, and truth can’t really be claimed without verification, and so it’s a confusing argument to say: truth should be above verifiability; but I must admit: I find it very strange that some people have information about them on their Wikipedia pages that they’re not able to correct despite _being the person_ because one can only cite a source.

The problem of circular citations exists as well, where an article is cited which itself only cites another article, and it might loop back on itself.
