Yeah, had the opportunity to drive a Tesla with that option enabled recently and it was… an experience. I got the hang of it eventually but if it were my car I would disable in a heartbeat, it actively made me hate driving the thing.
It’s about how you apply this knowledge, is it a soft suggestion when asked for feedback (“what are good restaurants around here”, “oh you may like X that Y went to) or a hard assumption that binds someone against their will even in small ways (choosing food at a group event, for instance)
Kind of? While everyone is unique in their exact tastes, generalities do exist where you can safely assume either a majority or at least a large minority of people would like something.
A third-generation Indigenous basket maker, Spencer Lunham Jr. of the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it.

"due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering" <- a lot of linguistic gymnastics to say that "hallucinations" are a feature, not a bug
civil society and right groups orgs that often keep a tab on and organise campaigns against these evil corporations are overstretched and underfunded. this internal memo from Meta is insidious and sickening
I'm so glad I got to experience writing code as a hobby. Creating things with the primary purpose of bringing yourself joy changes how you view software. Instead of bits and bytes, you start to see the thread and needle.
Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming
like the symbolism was so clear
our ancestors slaved away in cane fields. he opened the show with cane fields and puerto ricans working the fields. even without understanding spanish surely folks can connect the dots.
Chatbots offer a magnificent bribe - a fast, frictionless route to information that bypasses the discomfort of learning. In this op-ed, we describe this as a Faustian bargain, in which we trade away what it means to be human & universities trade away their value

Feb 5: Abraham Lincoln
👴🏻"Why do some Black people say that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist?"
👴🏿"Because Abraham Lincoln said that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist. We just agree with him. Lincoln got angry if you suggested he wasn't a white supremacist"

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

Physical therapy is torture.
Effective, but torture 😭
Glad to know I’m not the only one who describes it that way.
Somewhere between her casual racism and her demand to speak to a manager when her racism wasn’t validated is when I lost it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.
I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.
But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.
One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.
