Reminder that capitalism doesn’t mean free market.

This whole stunt reminds me of a certain former OpenAI board member…

Except that’s definitely not the case, since unlike crypto shit, the latest wave of AI tech is already useful and found lots of applications. It may never reach AGI level, but that doesn’t mean it’s not immensely useful.

After having to use TypeScript in a project, I don’t see much usefulness. It feels more like a weird linter, than an actual language with extra features. It’s tons of ugly boilerplate for little gain, at least so far in my experience.

IMO this was always a stupid practice and nothing of value was lost.

Not sure where you got the aliens conclusion.

I mean, almost complete disappearance of smaller phones is kinda puzzling? The difference in screen/battery size between a 6" and a 6.8" phone isn’t that big, yet one will fit pretty much any pocket, while the other one won’t. I still find it counterintuitive that most people would put that much priority on gaining screen real estate over mobility. Another interesting thing is that these smaller sized phones are still present in flagship releases, so they’re kind of a premium feature now.

People want big phones for some reason, so it’s unlikely it would break the market. Those who want what you described are (unfortunately) very few.

Is it TickTick-level good?
