No, but even the first christians believed they were living in the end times. It's been believed for 2000 years.

Cool. I'm also working on a Scheme compiler for embedding. Bytecode VM as well as AOT compilation to Zig. 100% written by Claude Opus under my supervision and guidance. I've given it an extensive set of tests and benchmarks (r5rs and r7rs) which helps A LOT. I currently use it embedded in a modal prose editor, mostly running integration tests for now.

Better take the opportunity then and have it build good stuff while it lasts. :)

Oh, I think I misunderstood. Do you mean if we paid the real cost of the compute it would be the numbers you mention?

I'm paying for claude max which is 90 euros a month. It's just enough for my needs. I typically run 2 agents in parallel and seldom run out of tokens.

I'm in the same camp. The last few months I've been building a couple of applications (editors) for my own work - and since it's so fast I've had Claude spin off to build Zig tools and libraries for markdown parsing, PDF generation, a Scheme implementation for embedding and more.

Funny that the "What is MCP?" section doesn't even explain what the acronym stands for... (I genuinely have no clue)

I do a lot of writing. The best recipe for me when I really need to focus is to not use my macbook at all, but a dedicated laptop with no wifi or anything. (Bought a cheap lenovo X1 second hand for this purpose). Pen and paper is also wonderful.

I would prefer higher dpi too. If someone would make a hidpi square (ish) screen I would buy it in a heartbeat. The Huawei Mateview looks great but can't swivel to portrait, unfortunately.

About 140. But I find it okay since I like to keep the screen not too close.

This LG is just shy of 140 dpi.

I used to run a 16:9 vertically for writing so I got one of these and love it.

The only issue is that I needed to install BetterDisplay (former BetterDummy) to get retina scaling from my macbook pro M1 . Dunno why macOS doesn't support it natively since it has the same PPI as a 32" 4k screen.
