<p>How are GUIs "way better at this stuff"? I can't see it, but would like to understand how you feel that a GUI can improve on the management of automated processes at scale.</p>

<p>Way back in the 90s and early aughts, Toys R Us used VAX terminals (and then, emulators on PCs) to do a lot in a local store.<p>Inventory of other locations, and the individual details of a stocked item were one of the functions. This additionally displayed the markup/profit percentage for a given item. I understand that these numbers may not have been completely accurate, but will be sufficient for demo purposes.<p>Most toys, movies, and video game titles claimed a ~20-30% margin. Private label clothes and such, slightly higher. Game consoles showed ~1-2%. When employee discounts were finally adopted, it maxed at 10%, and thusly items like game consoles were excluded.</p>

<p>This is great. The amount I've learned from threads like this is wonderful. Fountain pens AND chalk. We are so spoiled by the ubiquity of paper and writing tools that we tried to eliminate them with typing on glass.</p>

<p>Not sure I understand, but all I know is this dude has been an unhinged actor for a long time - and now he's on an Anti-Christ tour?<p>I take him even less seriously than Andreessen, Karp and Musk. Unfortunately they have more money than God, so they get attention and acolytes.</p>

<p>Right. This compute still being powered by an illegal amount of gas turbines in a residential neighborhood?<p>Claude is eating so much compute, the threat of that power being tuned down by lawsuit (rightfully) is worth the risk to Anthropic in the short-term. Instead of declaring "bubble", I'm just going to say that's so crazy.</p>

<p>Nice. Do you just use your 5 as a stationary iPod, or do you dual-carry with a modern device as well? Curious on if you also use it to wi-fi the web on your local LAN periodically too, of it that was just a periodic test to check if HN worked.</p>
