The same arguement can be made for cars, power tools, bicycles, etc. The ergonomics/UX is a point of difference for all of these

My family had a small van like this 20+ years ago. We called it "the sewing machine" because it sounded like one.

Rich text doesn't require a full rendering engine.

Allow for efficient parsing and rendering without a HTML rendering engine.

Rather than simply "bold", you could use "weight" similar to CSS, only slightly more streamlined with "light", "normal", and "bold" as values.

I think I would myself, only amplified.

A screenshot of New Edition's Hit Me Off playing in YouTube music with the cover art for their Home Again album. The six band members sit at a table all wearing the same suit. The album cover is in greyscale with the band's name in red.

Same. Same.

They have to put fiction there because some non-zero portion of the population thinks everything they read in print is real.

Why are we using 2.8K 3K and 4K values for screen sizes instead of megapixels?

That sounds more like a pop song from the 90s than a meal

While I doubt this is a result of the boycott against Telsa's Nazi-saluting CEO, its great to see the shift.

Yeah, other languages have very different syntax etc.

And yes "Eats shoots and leaves" is a great example where adding mere punctuation changes the sentence entirely.

I've used Claude to add features to the services we develop at work. It can write code that fits in with our 1million LOC system much quicker than I can, and it can add unit tests for the untested parts of our code base. Reading those unit tests has been an eye opener regarding flaws in the existing

Might be controversial, but as a Discord user with a kid who wants to use it too, I am onboard with this.

The problem is when the signal is short lived - long enough to earn kudos but not long enough to impact society.

This is what I am seeing across the market "Use AI to get more done, so the company can deliver faster with less added expense." And "Since its the AI tools delivering the increase in performance, no raises"

That sounds like something an aunt or grand mother would do... Could it be family?

That's the same distance as as changing "didnt" to "didn't", which doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.

None of the algorithms for text distance account for the meaning or context, which is the key here.

I am aware of the Levenshtein distance but that would put a change from "Putin sent tanks, drones, and troops to Odessa, US" to "Putin sent tanks, drones, and troops to Odessa, UA" at a distance of 1, despite the entire meaning of the sentence changing.

10.02.2026 02:30 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Aside from using an LLM, how one would write a detection algorithm for this is beyond me.

But I agree changing "didnt" to "didn't" shouldn't reset engagement, while swapping out the name of a place/person should.

"I love Perth, UK" vs "I love Perth, AU" is at best a 2 letter difference, and over 300 characters that is a tiny change, but they are on opposite sides of the world...

I think the old post should still exist as a history record attached to the new one, with all the engagement of the original still attached to the old one, each subsequent edit would add more history records (Like commits in GIT for devs).
