- > Making art is hard. But art is mostly about surfacing the inner world, and only in part about skill. It’s unfortunate that art selects so strongly for skill.
Not to sound like a luddite, but I do question the idea that the skill gap is merely an inconvenience. I suspect learning how to paint or make music changes something in yourself which teaches you some deeper life lessons.
I've heard the phrase (paraphrased): No great work of art was made by a genius, genius comes to you unexpectedly like a gust of wind. It seems that cultivating these opportunities is the most an artist can do, and removing the skill gap seems to be removing the cultivation, the thing that changes you, the essence.
There seems to be a few of these inherent deep workings that we as a people keep coming back to, without knowing what they are or how to discuss them (personally at least!). Not to rain on your parade OP, the project looks fun and super useful to a lot people! Just something I ponder on at times.
- Found something, a drop-in replacement.
AdGuard AdBlocker (MV3 Beta): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adguard-adblocker-m...
Copy and pasting the ublock custom filters into AdGuard seems to work.
- Yeah the zapper is indispensable. Being able to filter content on platforms by the words in post titles is one of the best ways to not be exposed to toxic content.
Never leaving your subscriptions (never using the algorithm recommended feed) is not a solution because of second-hand toxicity, e.g. political posts in meme subreddits in an election year.
If anyone knows of a solution that works in Manifest V3 I'd love to hear it!
- Just looking at Canada, it seems their support has dropped below half, but speaking generally, it's popular. E.g. https://globescan.com/2021/11/05/new-global-poll-shows-growi...
- The article goes into it a tiny bit, but the cost is the mental cost of when you do need to work on it, understanding it, and I would add keeping the tooling the same.
Encouraging devs to have their changes include all modules, even those that are old and mature and don't need to be touched, is a good way of ensuring this doesn't build up to where it becomes a problem.
- This is much needed nuance that is sorely missing from these discussions. I'm sure it will fall on mostly deaf ears, but thank you for that.
There's a lot of criticism against Apple for not doing things in the right order. Repairability is one of them. Would it have been better for their devices to be easier to repair from the original iPhone? Sure. Would it have been better for you, me, or Apple to focus on repairability above all else? Absolutely not.
In the meantime, Apple have built a device service model that looks like this for the average consumer:
Having a high degree of confidence that the product will be serviceable with OEM parts, which do not impact the resale value by causing buyer confusion, guarantees of these replacement parts working, having these parts available for years and years, and that the company is not going to disappear, through a network of nearby first and third party repair shops, at a transparent and reasonable price.
Like most criticism of Apple, there is a concentrated yelling at one particular tree, while missing the forest around. It can be valid criticism and missing the bigger picture at the same time.
- I think there is a broader thing going on. The amount of garbage out there means every decision needs to be critical. Everything needs to be viewed through various lenses to decide if it is good for you, the people around you, the planet, and so on.
By garbage I don't mean low-quality, I mean systematically bad. From sports where you have to look out for slave labour and greenwashing; clothing where you have to look out for PFAS, microplastics, ocean pollution; food where you have to look out for various poisons and almost-poisons categorised by the western diet; tech where you have to look out for privacy and all else covered on HN; online services where you have to look out for enshittification, addiction and depression caused by social media; and so on.
Nothing is simple anymore. If you haven't proved or signalled that you are on the right side of history before I start consuming your content, you get a critical eye. I wish it wasn't like this, but it has to be, because of the garbage world we/certain systems have created.
- I mean copy them exactly, off the top of my head:
- some browsers do tabs below the address bar
- Firefox has tab scrolling, minimum tab widths, and the tab itself is a floating box, not a part of the page visually.
- Firefox's address bar is also different, to me it seems potentially also should be A/B tested with directly copying Chrome
- Unrelated, why don't any non-chromium browsers do tabs like Chrome?
Taking personal preference out of it completely, it would seem the most used browser by virtue of this fact has the best UI, so why not just copy it?
I'm anticipating replies along the lines of, Chrome doesn't have the best UI, but the numbers don't lie, something is going on. Even just offering it as an option would be a good way to test the theory. (I know Firefox has themes and customisations to make it similar, but it's not the same, it's a hurdle and the end result isn't the same, and Mozilla doesn't seem interested in making this pursuit easy).
- The first video with the Apollo 16 rover traverse got me curious about how far they went.
I found this web page which has a great way to visualise it, with their tracks overlaid on famous places on Earth: https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/TraverseMapsEarth.html
The one in the video is the orange line crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge with Smoky mountain ahead of them and to their right.
- I use Everything Metric (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/everything-metric-a...)
- In my experience RCA is developer driven, pointing to structural issues in the org, which are then up to management to act on or not. For example, whistleblowers at Boeing are pointing out quality issues that are being ignored, not that there is too much paperwork like you are suggesting.
Post-mortems are as short as possible because technical people usually write them and have better things to do. Getting an LLM to do them will only remove this feedback channel, as it is much easier to ignore a LLM suggesting more time or money is spent on quality than it is to ignore a human.
