When I shop online, I have many tabs from the same site open. The tab title is the store name + the item name, so the item name never fits. A bunch of identical ebay icons is way worse than this.

It’s not objectively better or worse. Some people will prefer it and some people won’t.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.catoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?0·1 year agoThis was my thought as well. A lot of these games are never made, even when the ads do very well (as evidenced by the ad continuing for years). Someone actually made the bait game for real, in recognition of the fact that the games have been advertised for many years and never made.
Even if OP’s explanation is sometimes correct, it doesn’t seem typically correct. In fact, it seems like a rare edge case, at best.
I agree, it’s definitely not just house size. But still, I’m not sure that your one data point anecdote is very meaningful. Desirable areas were more expensive in the 1950s too.
House sizes have also ballooned. The average home size in 1949 was ~900 sq ft, whereas a new home now is ~2500 sq ft. It was still cheaper, but those homes prices are for a lot less house than people are imagining.
I’m not saying I agree with the meme, but that part makes sense to me. Am I really the only one who has met both types of dysfunctional people? Some people are extremely emotionally demanding, where they need constant reassurance and support, and others are completely detached, so that there’s hardly emotional connection at all.
Being healthy is almost always about achieving the mean between extremes.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Wizards of the Coast denies, then confirms, that Magic: The Gathering promo art features AI elements | When will companies learn?English1·1 year agoIn most existing TCG, artificial scarcity is a meta-mechanic of the game. For many, that’s part of the fun of the “collecting“. It’s fun to collect rare cards because they’re in limited supply.
That said, I think there could be, in theory, an open source way to have artificial scarcity and the fun of collecting. Maybe have a nonprofit that sells official printed cards at cost?
Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage appEnglish2·2 years agoThat’s good to know. Though I wish people I knew, both apple and android, would switch to Signal instead.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.catoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?0·2 years agoOne of the common definitions of “regularly” is “frequently”. E.g. “We used to meet regularly, but less and less as time went on.” This is also why frequent customers are called “regulars”.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage appEnglish71·2 years agoThe problem is that, in the US and Canada, android users don’t tend to use those apps en masse. The vast majority use SMS.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Asking ChatGPT to Repeat Words ‘Forever’ Is Now a Terms of Service ViolationEnglish0·2 years agoSeems simple enough to guard against to me. Fact is, if a human can easily detect a pattern, a machine can very likely be made to detect the same pattern. Pattern matching is precisely what NNs are good at. Once the pattern is detected (I.e. being asked to repeat something forever), safeguards can be initiated (like not passing the prompt to the language model or increasing the probability of predicting a stop token early).

SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish5·2 years agoYes, strong agree! Medium density is also the most affordable to build per square footage, compared to low density detached single family homes and high density super tall glass and metal towers.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish3·2 years agoLook it up anywhere: everyone describes Sears catalog homes as pre-fabricated. So your categorical insistence is contradicted by actual usage. If that makes you uncomfortable for whatever reason, feel free to use whatever term you like, so long as, on actual matters of substance, we understand that we’re talking about homes where some significant portion of the construction is done off site.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish4·2 years agoAre IKEA dressers pre-fabricated? I would say that having plans, everything cut to size, and all the hardest parts done for you counts for a lot.
For Sears catalog homes, everything in the kit was measured, cut, numbered, and packaged in a factory, including electrical and heating, and the kits were advertised as easy and fast to build for people with no expert skills. Pre-fabrication is a spectrum, and all pre-fabs require some degree of construction on site.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish14·2 years agoPre-fabricated homes are not all mobile homes. I wrote this elsewhere, but a lot of those charming 100 year old homes on the east coast and midwest are pre-fabricated Sears catalog homes.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish5·2 years agoYeah, I suppose I’m questioning even the potential. Some technologies don’t pan out, which is why we’re not all riding around on our Segways. Underestimating future technology is certainly one risk, but the other risk is assuming every technology is inevitable progress.
SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.cato 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed HouseEnglish4·2 years agoGiven how new this is, I doubt anyone knows how much this will cost at scale, even the manufacturers.
But that’s not what you wrote. You claimed that it doesn’t show new information because you can see the favicon and title. It does show new information.
