Apple's suite is proof that anything could be worse. It's like if you told a toddler to invent a word processor and they'd never seen one before.

With LibreOffice, you linked to a bug with the tabbed interface. I didn't even know people were using it. In fact, a lot of people escaped to LibreOffice to avoid it on Microsoft's suite.

Honestly, I used LibreOffice for years without any issue. The only reason I went back to Word and Excel is because I have to support other people using it and I hate relearning things on the fly while solving a problem.

I rarely do anything like this but I'm more likely to use Google's suite than Microsoft's even when I use MS Office for offline editing. Though OnlyOffice is another option that can do both. It's come a surprisingly long way for not being very old.

I know this isn't what they are talking about but I sure wish I could just type what I want into a search and have it tell me what to buy for a particular need. I would pay double to not have to spend hours researching.

I have a basement bathroom that needs a new sink, except it's an oddly shaped room and it needs to be a short depth while still being freestanding on the floor and have the right hole spacing for my old faucet hardware. And I don't want a molded top without room to set things on it.

This purchase went on the backburner because I've only found 2 or 3 options out of hours and hours of searching across multiple sites. The filters aren't accurate and only work at certain retailers.

I know the main problem is that what I need isn't being made by anyone for the most part. But finding the ones that do can be almost impossible. This isn't the first time I've done a search like this - I would say that even minor purchases can sometimes take me hours because I know exactly what I want but not whether it exists.

AAA titles don't interest me, but I'm just now getting around to Super Mario Galaxy. Great game and a lot cheaper as a pack of 3 games for the Switch. Technically I bought it used for the Wii first but I never got around to it and I could never keep batteries charged for the Wii remotes consistently, where the new controllers use the same charging plug as everything else.

It's hard to come up with a better term, though. Let's say there's four types of brain - A, B, E, F. The typical brain by averages is a C or a D but there are no C or D people in real life.

Modern society is broken. And the strain on people's time is breaking our brains.

If it was just information overload, I think we would be able to manage just fine. I recently got a diagnosis for ADHD in adulthood. I've had it my whole life (inattentive type, and there's no doubt about this even if I didn't know before). I had plenty of slack time and so it was well-managed for the most part until having kids. Once I had zero free time, I lost the ability to cope. With ADHD, stimulants make the mind seem more calm and slowed down.

AAA games are broadcast TV. They think they're somehow going to capture 5-10% of the market with every major release. Streaming services have proved that you can do better by doing limited budget high quality niche work. Streaming company executives may keep trying to return to a broadcast mindset with bigger and bigger projects but it works against them.

This is probably related to changes in how it responds to being told it is hallucinating. It goes from self-confident to sycophant if you ever correct it on anything.

These stories don't sound like people with known mental illnesses. It seems like they had never experienced any sort of psychosis until this point. That doesn't make it the fault of ChatGPT. It is a really interesting situation where the person is creating a feedback loop through their interactions and triggering their own psychosis. I think that usually, there's an outside influence that happens somewhat at random to get to this point. But instead of stress or trauma, it's just deep diving down a neural pathway that is malfunctioning until it comes to the surface.

No need to invent something new. These people had schizophrenia or some other condition. They may not have known it prior to the triggering of psychosis.

Should OpenAI be responsible for psychosis in someone who is predisposed? Probably not. But it still probably shows patterns in extended conversations with AI that are not useful and negative overall. Studying these cases in more detail will probably be the most useful to help them refine their feedback system.

We don't even have self-driving trains except in small closed loops. The only reason they're doing cars first is because laying track involves buying land rather than using publicly funded streets.

A side of the trolley problem that hadn't yet been considered.

More importantly, in their paper-loving world, it's getting either photocopied or scanned in pure B&W where that will just be a bunch of noise making the text unreadable.

If the car dealer is in the state, you may not regulate who they buy from out of state, but you can regulate who they sell to in the state. That problem would take care of itself.

I don't believe a state is required to assign license plates to vehicles if they don't want to either.

They haven't yet increased Switch 2 pricing over tariffs. They increased it over the Switch 1 based on increased specs. But they priced hit high relative to the performance of competitors.

I should have said that I mentioned Euros because Sony hasn't announced their US price increase yet so I only have Europe to go by.
