Thats exactly why I am using lemmy exclusively for brand awareness

The story is decent enough but holy shit the comments on that link are cancer

I don’t recommend looking at their 1930s issues

This is an all time post

Hey don’t bring my 1am dinner into this lol we’re talking about sleeping!!

:O how do they do it so perfectly

Hell yeah, we need someone to run the 7/11 overnight! /s

To stay on brand: hire someone from Europe, and then nobody has to “stay up all night” lol

I’m loving this comment section lol this was just a silly idea and here’s a really interesting conversation happening under it

A machiavellian construct :/

I think you’re agreeing with me, so let me rephrase: the sleep schedules we don’t align with could be due to a geographical misalignment in our circadian rhythm.

If you live on central time and never get tired until 4am maybe your body is telling you that your natural state would be somewhere in Hawaii. The friction comes from people generally being scattered across the world in places that don’t agree with what their body feels should be the right time to go to bed.

Does that make more sense? Go to sleep when your body tells you to, and then figure out where in the world that lines up with a “normal sleep schedule” you know what I mean?

I was coming here to say the same lol they’re investigating to figure out how they can run the same racket

Thats awesome lol

I feel like at this point I couldn’t even use a slide out keyboard if I had one, I do miss it though

Great, now americans need to learn about necklacing

Why not? They’re not terrorists any more than the idf are. To that point, Nelson Mandela was designated a “terrorist” until 2008. Should we not hear what he thinks?

Very interesting! I was aware of the 5nm advancements and the limitations of chip sizes approaching the physical limitations of the material but I had been assuming since we worked around the single core issue a similar innovation would appear for this bottleneck. It seems like the focus instead was turned towards integrating AI into the gpu architecture and cranking up the power consumption for marginal gains in performance instead of working towards a paradigm shift. Thanks for the in depth explanation though, I always appreciate an opportunity to learn more about this type of stuff!

Degrowth economy baby!!! We’re getting it!

Is it Moores law failing or have we finally reached the point where capitalists are not even pretending to advance technology in order to charge higher prices? Like are we actually not able to make things faster and cheaper anymore or is the market controlled by a monopoly that sees no benefit in significantly improving their products? My opinion has been leaning more and more towards the latter since the pandemic.

Bauuer?

I’ve been reading a lot about behavior modification and technofeudalism and once you see it you can’t unsee it. The tech companies are quite literally just farming us for data and using their gadgets as a Trojan horse to get us to accept more invasive stuff into our lives.

The product isn’t vr glasses the product is you and for apple to sell the ability to nudge you into different behaviors with subtle cues in your daily activities. It’s the same thing as Facebook but at least Facebook had a use case originally and people used it because they wanted to.

This tech is being conceptualized and designed and marketed at us not because there’s a market for this stuff but they WANT there to be a market for it. They’re doing it right now with this post, convincing people that it’s actually really anticipated, but I’ll ask you this: how many times have you been in conversation where someone brought up a problem that would be solved by ar glasses? Or one level above that, how many people have openly expressed to you a desire for glasses so they don’t have to use their phone? I know you’re not the one who was arguing against my original comment but that should tell you everything you need to know about the market conditions. They’re not solving a problem, they’re creating a demand.

I’m just saying, be weary of these tech companies. They have made their intentions clear enough to warrant skepticism. Here is an economist explaining this better than I can, if you’re interested in the subject.
