I waited until it seemed good enough to use without having to spend most of my time keeping up with the latest magical incantations.

Now I have multiple Claude instances running and producing almost all of my commits at work.

Yes, with a lot of time spent planning and validating.

In the DOS days, I would have whipped them up in BASIC. This was standard practice for PC users who were not "software engineers" by trade.

The complication of PCs over the past 30+ years have robbed regular users of this ability.

Tools like this close the gap, and that's awesome.

I’ve never seen a MAGA hat arguing for more (or any) H1Bs - quite the opposite.

Then I upgraded my work laptop to test it out. Then my phone. Now my personal laptop.

I actually like it.

Everything is snappier. The glass effects are not nearly as annoying as I expected.

ymmv

Especially one as shrewd as Putin. Especially when you're expecting the EU to do it. Not sure why this is a surprise.

The world is not an action film.

I'm not sure why so many people believe that what - jury nullification? - is going to happen.

I'm sending almost nothing to the sub, and I'm guessing the 8030s would provide most of what I'm using the 7040 for without the inconvenience.

I'm in a small room and going for accuracy, so don't need much bass.

I’ve wasted so much time trying to track down which location near me has one available on the exact day I want to do major yard work. Often I have to reschedule my work or plan out super far in advance. Or take a day off during the week because everyone else also wants to rent trucks on the weekend. Then I’m running against the clock the whole time.

An extra $100-$200 a month car payment to have a truck instead of a crossover is totally worth it.

Block the sites at the country level - good luck with that - or stfu.

This is never going to work, and in 20 years we'll all be laughing at this omg get the genie back in the bottle legislation.

Imagine someone in the 90s saying "if you don't master the web NOW you will be forever behind!" and yet 20 years later kids who weren't even born then are building web apps and frameworks.

Waiting for it to all shake out and "mastering" it then is still a strategy. The only thing you'll sacrifice is an AI funding lottery ticket.

Not a big deal, but things still slide around in a van.

I thought the Slate looked interesting. Then the price started creeping up.

I'll just buy a Ford Ranger or Maverick instead.

To haul dirt. To haul junk out to the dump. Etc.

Do people load their Transits with piles of dirt and mulch? I doubt it.

I live in the US and have a small house in the city, and I haul stuff like this all the time.

Yes, you can rent a pickup truck as needed from U-Haul, but that gets old real quick.

Yes, I would love it if there was a nice small or mid-sized truck with an extended bed available, because most trucks are overkill for my use case.

But this idea that no normal person needs a pickup truck a dozen times a year is just weird.

Back of envelope, if the total cost of that drug went solely to profit, and profits were cut in half, it would cost $200 for both Europeans and Americans if we paid the same price.

So yeah, we are kind of subsidizing the lower prices for Europe.

Also, aren't most mostly benign drugs dangerous when combined with the wrong other mostly benign drugs? The gatekeeping protects against that.

I used to own an OP-1 and I thought it was great.

Expensive, not ergonomic, probably totally useless.
