<p>I discovered this today and was quite surprised, so I thought I'd share.<p>You can obviously do a full reset and then use Migration Assistant on a backup. This might take a half hour and it's a hassle.<p>But you can also boot into recovery, go in "Restore from Time Machine", pick a recent snapshot (including hourly "local snapshots"), and roll back to it. It takes seconds (and a reboot) and your Mac is now rolled back to its previous state.</p>

<p>> It’s one thing for the government to reject Anthropic’s terms—and entirely another to banish them permanently and, absurdly and punitively declare them a supply chain risk. <i>Worse, they did it in favor of someone else who took pretty similar terms</i> and happened to have given more campaign contributions.<p>Marcus is so overrated. He's not even good at straight factual reporting. The terms were not "pretty similar". He missed the whole point of the recent controversy.<p>> Anthropic deserves a chance at EXACTLY the same terms<p>No, those terms are bullshit.</p>

<p>It's a sinister statement, but despite everything the U.S. has moved to the region, they didn't move the stuff they would need to move for ground operations.</p>

<p>This comment is so wrong. Trump's strikes won't "prevent" anything, it's domestic posturing to look tough. You cannot bomb your way into regime change.<p>> After the last war, it also is no longer a threshold state<p>That's also wrong. Trump claimed Iran's enrichment capabilities were totally destroyed, but they weren't.<p>> In this situation it is a fair request by the US to sign a nuclear deal<p>America already had a good deal. Trump got rid of it.</p>

<p>No it's not. This is an air strike campaign, no boots on the ground. It'll end in two weeks. There is no chance China or Russia get involved, like last time, so "WW3" is completely non-credible.</p>

<p>The horse is out of the barn. It's easy to remove AI tells in short text, and impossible to moderate. Half the stuff you read online is AI (it's always more than you think) and the fix is to log off and buy books.</p>

The 340B Program might be partly responsible"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>> The government already takes enough taxes.<p>Is the deficit a scam too? It does not take enough taxes, you are heavily subsidized and want to be subsidized further.<p>The argument is simple. Land ownership with no property tax privatizes gains that others must subsidize. Land value comes from government infrastructure for water, electricity, roads, public transportation, which are expensive to maintain. That, and artificial scarcity, is why your house grows in value, which is why people treat it as an investment.<p>Japan fixed it by having a dying population, which causes other problems.</p>

<p>It'll get worse. The US has lived above its means for a while, and it would need a big tax increase to only maintain the current level of service, no fancy extras.</p>

<p>Where's the money for local services supposed to come from?<p>Why should you be allowed to monopolize a piece of finite and scarce resource, land, for free?<p>Since you think it's a scam, surely you support 100% capital gains taxes on homes? Since old people getting rich off of an unproductive asset, blocking supply to "preserve neighborhood character", and inflating the price of their artificially-scarce goods would be more of a scam?<p>There's nothing wrong with retirees being forced to sell and downsize. You don't need a family-sized home when you live alone. Property tax is the least unfair tax of them all.</p>

<p>"Capturing the value you create" is a euphemistic way to describe pushing producer surplus towards 100% and consumer surplus to 0%, your ability to pull it off depends on your monopoly power, and it would be more honestly described as "value extraction" than as "capturing".<p>I think in this case semantics matter.</p>

<p>> Claude refused to build me a news scraper that would post political hot takes to twitter<p>> Just choose your political leaning and the AI would consult the correct echo chambers to repeat from.<p>You're effectively asking it to build a social media political manipulation bot, behaviorally identical to the bots that propagandists would create. Shows that those guardrails can be ineffective and trivial to bypass.</p>
