@sampullara @BellikOzan I remember the first time in college I was doing a physics problem where I had to calculate something for a pool where the depth was changing and I thought how can you calculate one thing when another thing is changing? And then I thought wait minute, isn't that like calculus?

Ozan Bellik@BellikOzan·
When I started teaching my kids physics I kept having the thought "it'd be really helpful if they knew calculus". Then I thought "why would you teach calculus separately from physics?" So now that our 11 year old is ready for calculus, I'm teaching him calculus & physics together. (Here's some calculus, and here's how you use it to solve this physics problem.) It's going swimmingly. An hour a week goes a long way when you have a solid foundation and one on one instruction.

Guess the stock ticker. Hint: it's deep tech that was mismanaged.

@svpino I'm at the point where I prefer to have a book read to me by AI, especially 11 Labs because then I can change the voice and the speed and the tone and all kinds of stuff. Just like with a Kindle you can change the font. But written? Probably not

Would you buy and read a book if you knew it was written 100% by AI?

@sampullara I could maybe stand it if the translucency was less or blurry across the whole pop-up, especially while your focus was in the search box. Is the point of glass so you can see stuff underneath in case you need to refer to it?

@svpino I recall a lot of time spent revising design docs, getting sign off from other devs, code reviews, stand-up meetings, working with other teams, arguing about priorities, estimating time, mandatory compliance meetings, meetings about meetings, writing unit tests, merge conflicts

Software development has never been about writing code. This was obvious to many before, but now AI has made it crystal clear to everyone. Building software is 99% thinking, 1% writing code, and 1% fighting off-by-1 errors.

@FlySJC can you update Google maps to label your new cell phone parking lot? Also, there's very poor signage at the airport to find this, especially near the Southwest terminal areas. Thank you

@jzux The number one song in 1983 was "Every breath you take." Pretty sure that activity would get a man arrested now

dating apps will never inspire me. i recently talked to a guy who met his wife because he saw her eating chicken alone at the bar and was so enchanted he chased her down the street after she left so he could get her number

People getting fired after posting divisive takes on recent events even when they had that disclaimer "My opinions are my own, not that of my employer." So maybe don't bother?

My remote that has the "find" feature loses its battery charge much faster than a similar model that does not. It makes sense to me, and I'm totally willing to make that trade-off for the find feature. Kind of wish it had a charging cradle

@olshansky I think big companies have a really hard time choosing good names. Zune? Bard? Max? X? I associate Gemini now with the broken assistant on my phone, whereas it used to be astrology or NASA missions.

today i met someone who was anti-nuclear, and concerned about nuclear waste. I suggested we could send the waste into space. she seemed disgruntled and said that seemed to be a colonizer way of looking at things

@Stammy I have a theory that many top designers have perfect vision, which makes it difficult for them to empathize with those that don't
