> Give Claude Code a try...

Two days after they released their web interface for Claude Code I was hooked. Haven't really used the regular interface or the app since. Oh god, I'll never go back to copy-pasting code.

No. This is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and has, even in its weak form, been conisdered a dead end.

That said the culture (relegion and other stories) we live in completely drive our cognition.

Uhhh, this is amazing.

I wasn just listening to a breakcore mix to help me work and this isn't too far off from what I was just listening too.

Now all we need is a queue of style prompts to slide in and out of the player and I'd listen for hours.

I don't see enough detail here to really advise.

Please consider having fun with it or getting promoted over him.

Tried it, couldn't get into it. And this was when I was unemployed and living with my now wife. So, I had time galore.

It seems like a book you have to read cover to cover in one sitting to jam it all in your head.

Now, from what I recall I did chuckle a couple times. But other than that it was a big shrug-fest to me. Just couldn't muster a care.

I never thought I'd admit to such base and earthen attitude, nay vulgar. But there we are.

Ok, but why? Please excuse my ignorance, it's well earned. I haven't been in the web design space for over 20 years. So, seriously, like, what is this for?

Just so we can? For presenting a specific kind of information?

Sounds good to me. It's not a silver bullet, but there's no such thing. Just trade-offs.

Sooo... completely centralized?

That's a hard no.

I briefly scanned through the whitepaper at:

but couldn't find how it solved the Byzantine General's problem, transacting without a need for trust.

> As humans the physical world is OUR world, OUR element, OUR domain of expertise

Yea, and our tools are extensions of our bodies.

> Driving (and riding) is a special feeling

100% agree. I love driving, esp at night for long distances. It's almost religious. Even through not driving and age makes my ankles weak.

IMHO self driving cars I think need to get to the point where they're better than people to cut down on deaths. So, free municipal rides for drunks? Yes. But we can do that with taxis too.

If it can't warm water how could it cause damage in a body? I'm not afraid of a candle, and that's emitting way more energy. Am I crazy?! Or stupid?

It certainly would. However, these are centuries long plans. A path along which the local issues will be solved.

I could, but I won't. My mac laptop is 5 years in the closet and covered in a layer of dust. But it'd be a ton of stuff.
