I'm surprised nobody mentioned jack plugs yet. Basically unchanged since 1877 when it was invented for phone switchboards, roughly as old as safety pins or modern hairpins (give or take a few decades)

For the uninitiated, Ikarus was a Hungarian bus factory that produced buses to the Eastern block, some of those are probably still running somewhere in Mongolia. The Ikarus 256 was produced between 1974-2002, so in the best case that thing was at least 23 years old.

But even better, someone got to travel on an Ikarus 55 on the same day (1954-1974), which used to be great in their time, but definitely weren't made for 36C summers, the lack of air conditioning combined with the sunshine roof that used to increase the feel of comfort in 1958 created a living hell for the passengers packed into that rolling museum with barely openable windows.

I had to read the post twice, is the arrow keys the life hack? zu the fold, }} two paragraph and 3) to jump three sentences is. And we haven't mentioned macros yet

For me it kinda went the other way, I'm almost convinced that human intelligence is the same pattern repeating, just more general (yet)

What about Steam?

Most banks these days need their app as well to log in to their website because of forced two factor authentication

These days feel like an 'Are we the baddies?' moment for the US

Kile used to be great, probably still is

I see how that is a hype train, and I also work with machine learning (though I'm far from an expert), but I'm not convinced these things are not getting intelligent. I know what their problems are, but I'm not sure whether the human brain works the same way, just (yet) more effective.

That is, we have visual information, and some evolutionary BIOS, while LLMs have to read the whole internet and use a power plant to function - but what if our brains are just the same bullshit generators, we are just unaware of it?

That was a very long time ago, that's fine now
