<p>also, let's not conflate easy to repair with cheap to repair.<p>The macbook is quite easy to repair, it's just insanely expensive because they made the choice that, for user experience, they attach the keyboard to the machines body.<p>You can have ease of repair and build quality, but then you give up portability I guess (bulky and heavy). And also cost goes up</p>

<p>you need a ton of third party tools to make it behave like Windows, that's what you mean.<p>I'm perfectly happy with my "vanilla" macbook. Runs Baldurs Gate 3 and my final fantasy ps2 emulator just fine, and even trackmania was quite easy to get installed and runs well.<p>Can't comment on that hash thing, but I don't see why that would be a problem? It's not linked to your name or something. Windows does a ton of things too that I find inexcusable, such as changing settings or permissions after updates, those have an actual impact on my daily experience with these things</p>

<p>6k would be a no-brainer.<p>In our office, we'd definitely need the enterprise version for compliance reasons, not because of the features. That's about 14/user/month.<p>At a workforce of roughly 2500, that's a 4million+ yearly cost for something that is comparable to something you can get without that pricetag. It's no competition at all at that point. Think about it, would you be willing to ask your boss to pay 4 million so you can have a different chat app? No matter how much more ergonomic and friendly and intuitive it is.</p>

<p>I would like to counteract your statement that each token adds a distraction.<p>In our experiments, we see a surprising benefit to rewriting blocks to use more tokens, especially long lists etc..<p>E.g. compare these two options<p>"The following conditions are excluded from your contract
- condition A
- condition B
... 
- condition Z"<p>The next one works better for us:<p>"The following conditions are excluded from your contract
- condition A is excluded
- condition B is excluded
... 
- condition Z is excluded"<p>And we now have scripts to rewrite long documents like this, explicitly adding more tokens. Would you have any opinion on this?</p>

<p>Benefit of mcp is that it exists and kinda works, and a lot of tools are available on it. I guess it's all about adoption. But inherently yeah it's a discovery service thingy. Google will never embrace mcp since it's invented by anthropic<p>I consider it a good first attempt, but indeed hope for a sort of mcp2.0</p>

<p>not necessarily, if openai managed to monetize free users. Could be through advertising, or integrations with marketplaces on commission (e.g. order your next Hello Fresh through ChatGPT? Get recommended a  hotel?)<p>They could succeed where Alexa failed. A free user can even bring in more than a paid user if you look at some platforms like spotify, where apparently there is a large chunk of free users generating more income through ads than if they would pay</p>

<p>not true at all, onboarding is complex too. E.g. you cant just connect claude to your outlook, or have it automate stuff in your CRM. As a office drone, you don't have the admin permissions to setup those connections at all.<p>And that's the point here: value is handicapped by the web interface, and we are stuck there for the foreseeable future until the tech teams get their priorities straight and build decent data integration layers, and workflow management platforms.</p>
