Still more on the psychological and even philosophical side than being about how to do design, I really enjoyed Jenny Davis, "How artifacts afford" (2020). It takes consideration of 'affordance' to a new level. If that rings bells, you'll love it.

Hasn’t been true in like 50 years, at least in new builds, even conversions. We have building standards too you know

> at least in new builds

It appears that something like 50% of homes are still over 50 years old, which seems to be more than enough for “some subset of brits large enough to be notable complain about the cold weather because they don't have a properly insulated place to warm up in” to have explanatory power.

I live not far from Hardwick Hall, drive past it frequently, and have visited it a few times. Learned a lot of of new stuff about it from this article, thanks.

What AI can generate, AI can detect. It is well within the power of the social media companies to deal with this stuff. It’s not crazy to hope that hitting X has a meaningful effect not only on them, but also the others.

You have to really, and I mean REALLY want it, because it’s £45, even on Kindle

It's literally the definitive guide on CSS, and frankly, it's the gold standard for any book calling itself a definitive guide. An inordinate amount of work went into the book's 1126 pages. You will learn something every time you open the book. It will pay for itself the next time you wonder, "how do I do X with css?", because you don't have to search. It's right there in the book.

If you do software as a profession, is the book really THAT expensive at £45? Having a deep understanding of CSS could make you significantly more than that.

Less weird as they get smaller. Call it an accessibility thing if you like, but I think it's better for everyone and congrats to them. Isn't this what technology is supposed to do, make things easier?

Well there’s an opinion not to take too far...

I enjoyed it too, but I was already a big fan of the Imperial Radch series. Does it work standalone also?

Edit: just to add that the audiobook is really well narrated

No relevance at all to (say) social media firms, media firms more generally, and AI firms also?

There is, I just believe that generally people on the left have different viewpoint on this article than people on the right, and that's the main deciding factor.

And whenever that's true, the comments get politically heated without any substantive debate between the sides.

I love to debate with friends on the opposite side than me, but strictly offline where I can learn much more from them.

I’m not sure Einstein would allow your concept of “simulation time”. Events are only partially ordered.
