Tangential but similar nonsensical secrecy for consumables: alcohol not requiring a nutrition label always irks me.

One beer company tried to do it. But because beer has vitamins in it, they were prohibited from doing it as it might have made the beer seem healthy.

Can you provide a citation? Plenty of beers have nutrition information labels.

The assertion used to be true, but is out of date. The beer industry negotiated with the FDA and now they can include nutrition labels.

The wine industry is still working on it.

That sounds like a made-up Internet fact or urban legend.

It used to be true. It changed about a decade ago.

Ingredeant lists != nutrition chart

Guinness is good for you!

Don’t buy it then?

Honestly, if any big tech would implement it this way, it's likely Apple. Their image face recognition in Photos currently is fully on device from what I understand and it is set by who you associate it with locally.

Apple will create a comparable device; it'll just take them five more years to get the product experience down.

I’m not sure why they don’t do it this way already with the meta glasses.

Online comparison just adds latency.

Very worthwhile additions in most cases IMO, and well worth the "continued education" required.

Learned this about five years ago on HN and it's the only way I've tied my shoes since. It's so fast and perfect every time. It's worth the ten minutes in your living room learning to tie your shoes again like a child!

My Cryptography professor did this during COVID, since the classes were split in person. It was an interesting model. I'm not sure if I loved it or not, but it was at least a change of pace. Getting 100% of the class time to ask questions was really nice, but it ended up with him re-teaching most of the online lecture in class because some quarter to half the class just didn't watch the lectures.

If done more stringently (if you didn't watch the lecture, I'm not reteaching it), it maybe would've had a bigger impact, but I'm not sure.

Office hours remained king for serious Q and A for the class.

One way to fix that issue that I’ve seen is a daily quiz to start the class. The key is the quiz is super easy. Even if you were confused by the lecture, if you watched it at all you’d likely get a 100 on the quiz. If you didn’t watch it you’d likely get a 0. This quickly for people watching the lectures online ahead of class.

YouTube also added a shorts timer that does a more in-app version of this that you can set to 0 minutes to have it always on. It's under "time management" in the app settings. Can't do it on the website from what I'm aware.

Only thing that worked for me long term. My problem is mostly with shorts, so I didn’t want to have a global timer for the whole app.

For me it’s shorts and opening new tabs from the recommended videos on the one I’m currently watching… I usually never get to them though. Luckily I don’t have tab hoarding addiction and aggressively close all tabs whenever I realize I’ve got 20+ of them open.

I use YouTube in browser, partially because that already makes it worse… but still doesn’t stop the doom scrolling :)

I like these hobby languages just because they help expose and experiment with interesting higher level language constructs. Because of that, I don't really care if they try to sell me on the language or not.

As for your concept, I think this is super interesting. A language catered towards higher level abstractions that we use for web services these days is very appealing. The service and container constructs are particularly enticing.

I assume it's business people finding it to be a better "bang for their buck" implementation time-wise or lazy developers who don't use Firefox for their testing phase. I've seen it so many times. At a previous company, I was the only person using Firefox daily and I would catch bugs a few times a year during PRs for things that worked fine in Chrome, but not in Firefox. Oftentimes the suggestion was just to leave it because "who uses Firefox?"

I found that the newest opus and 5.5 are definitely close enough where most of the work I do could be done with either. I've seen small differences in planning which I feel like Claude does do better, but I think both products are close enough where I wouldn't be upset if one disappeared.

I agree with you, but I think most people don't. People generally hate paying for software and the $60->$70 standard AAA game pricing got a lot of people (my well paid friends included) complaining. Even if it was very clearly said that it is the cost of a well paid and respected team behind the game, I think most people won't care.

That's fine though. The value of unions is that they can force consumers to pay for better working conditions and prevent a race to the bottom.

Consumers usually are workers themselves so they also benefit from raising the bar of working conditions. Even if they don't like paying more, they are still receiving the benefit of living in a better society.

I completely agree with you, but I have found that the average person I've talked to about things like this refuses to look past the first thing they see, which is higher prices. If everything could go up and not just have people switch to the next lowest cost good with bad worker conditions, then that could work.

I'd argue GTA 6 is an inelastic good and people will play it no matter what, so I do think what you're saying applies here.
