@StopMe24 @MyFitnessPal @MFP_Ops As a product manager in tech for the last 15 years who recently worked on another diet app, I wouldn't necessarily turn down a job offer to help @MyFitnessPal with UX and functionality to actually help people achieve their goals, but I'm worried my expertise wouldn't be valued.

@MyFitnessPal @LogicalArthur @MFP_Ops I hope you are reading and considering all of the horrible feedback regarding your app update. It’s so trash, hard to use, and going to make me and others find a new app.

Hey, @MyFitnessPal: After you released a buggy update to your Android app that orders foods in meals in inscrutable ways as part of your grand redesign, I tried to go on the web to manually fix the order. Imagine my lack of surprise when confronted with this embarrassing #bug. 🤦

Hey, @duolingo: I've now completed two lessons, and you haven't increased my streak count for today. I thought the first time was a fluke, but you also dinged me two hearts because of a #bug I've already reported where you don't recognize speech correctly. What gives?

Finally caught this @duolingo #bug on video. This nonsense happens all the time, on both Android and on my laptop browser. Trying a handful of times, with near-perfect pronunciation, doesn't help. This has been going on for years.

Hey, @FedEx: Leaning into your incompetence doesn't make for a very funny April Fools joke. "tomorrow" from March 31 is April 1, not April 2. 🤦 #bug CC @FedExHelp

There's a market opportunity for cost-effective overnight shipping without lying to customers and inconveniencing them the way @FedEx does. @FedExHelp takes zero accountability for their screwups and causing us to scramble to ship breastmilk for a newborn. goo.gl/maps/oEVVQnEfX…

.@duolingo You sent me this email before 3am, and you're trying to shame me for procrastinating because I haven't done a lesson within 3 hours of the start of the day while I'm sleeping? I think you can do better. #bug

@Mottel I haven't thought of that in decades! It's so funny that we thought we could do that!

Reminded of the time I was 9 years old, and @LogicalArthur showed me Q-Basic and we unsuccessfully tried to essentially vibe code our own version of Sonic the Hedgehog.
brian whitton@noslouch

@JoannaStern and @bzcohen vibed up an interactive article and, like many vibe coders, called in a computer guy to bring it across the finish line I had to do surprisingly little! But I did add a couple features Happy to report my job is secure. For now wsj.com/tech/ai/anthro…

@_shugyosha @cbssaturday @Brook @HBinswanger As for high IQ being correlated with dying earlier, I think all the evidence points in the opposite direction for now, but if we were to find such a mysterious correlation, it would be critical to uncover the true causality, so we can mitigate it. High IQ confers MANY benefits!

@_shugyosha @cbssaturday @Brook @HBinswanger Yes, with any technology, we will need to be careful and ever-vigilant about its uses and long-term effects. The pattern of all new developments it that they're only initially affordable to the few rich, but then, like cell phones, cars, TVs, and computers, become ubiquitous.

Would you want to pick the height and IQ of your kids? Advances in genetic testing are giving parents incredible new insights into the traits of their future children. @Brook Silva-Braga goes inside the company that's pushing the ethical and scientific boundaries.

@drago9671 But anyway, I was talking about YOU and your consistency with your professed beliefs. Anyway, I'm not sure this will go anywhere else productive, so take care!

@drago9671 And where do you think he'd live 2000 years ago--and for how long? Today's "slums" and government housing may not be glamorous by your and my standards, but don't romanticize how difficult life was 2000 years ago or in today's 3rd world, with more "wealth equality".

@drago9671 I think, if you introspect carefully, you'll find you've made my point for me. 😉 I do wish you all the best, though--all the success and prosperity and greatness that you can create for yourself, and I hope you get value from being around greatness, too.

@LogicalArthur Would moving to a 3rd world country make me a king? Probably not. There's far more opportunity for greatness in the US, at least right now.

@_shugyosha @cbssaturday @Brook @HBinswanger Ah, but is that a reflection of basic human nature or the passive acceptance of (corrupt) prevalent philosophical ideas in a culture? And even if it reflects some biological bias, wouldn't it still be desirable to use our minds to overcome that to achieve greater prosperity?

@drago9671 Forgive me for putting it so sharply, but your profile suggests you live in the US. If you take your own philosophical commitments (and psychological musings) seriously, why are you living here with access to Twitter and the internet, rather than moving to a 3rd-world county?

@drago9671 To be clear, though, I *do* compare myself to others, but not in service of my fundamental worth or happiness: I look at others to learn what is possible (or what to avoid). It's a matter of inspiration and education, not envy. Introspection requires understanding one's motives.

@drago9671 @JonathanAnomaly Would you rather be at the poverty line in modern America (with running water, cell phones, internet, etc) or a monarch 2000 years ago? How you answer says everything about whether your fundamental concern is with your actual prosperity versus comparison with / envy of others.

@JonathanAnomaly Externalities? Yeah I'm sure the gdp will go up or whatever. But being in a world where you have to compete against lab made superhumans would be miserable. We would lose at every competition, in every part of life.

@drago9671 Yikes. It does not sound pleasant to tie your happiness and self-worth to how you compare to other people. It's a very Hobbesian worldview... I found the passage I was thinking of earlier--it happens to be from an essay titled "'Buy American' is Un-American" by @HBinswanger.

@LogicalArthur Other's success is to our misery. Competition is the basis of purpose. We strive to be the best in what we do. If I am in a world where I am competing against lab made superhumans, then I will always lose, and I will be miserable. Same for my future children.
