<p>This is why you build transit for everyone. If you look at transit around the world (Japan, Singapore) you'll see transit that the old or infirm happily take. It's possible, you just need to believe that transit CAN be good for everyone! It doesn't and shouldn't be just for the "young and healthy".</p>

<p>A City on Mars by Zach Weinersmith goes over a lot of these points and many others, like politics and laws of space. Like the title of this article, the tldr is "life in space would suck".</p>

<p>I had a fun result the other day from Claude. I opened a script in Zed and asked it to "fix the error on line 71".
Claude happily went and fixed the error on line 91....<p>1. There was no error on line 91, it did some inconsequential formatting on that line
2. More importantly, it just ignored the very specific line I told it to go to. It's like I was playing telephone with the LLM which felt so strange with text-based communication.<p>This was me trying to get better at using the LLM while coding and seeing if I could "one-shot" some very simple things. Of course me doing this _very_ tiny fix myself would have been faster. Just felt weird and reinforces this idea that the LLM isn't actually thinking at all.</p>

<p>> I’m less empathetic than I might be because I came into the office 5 days a week for 30 years. My wife also worked. We raised three kids. I went to night school. It’s all very doable, and honestly not that hard.<p>To me this sentiment reads as "It sucked for me, therefore it needs to suck for you too. Feel the pain of previous generations!"<p>What happened to wanting to make life BETTER for people? Better for the next generation?<p>As someone that would complain about RTO mandates if I had to, I know that it's do-able, but does it make my life better? No, it doesn't.<p>Imagine your last 30 years of not having to go in 5 days a week? Think how much more time you would have had to do all the things you listed: raise your kids, spend time studying night school, etc. How much further ahead would you have gotten with that extra time?</p>

<p>Yes, the article is talking about stuff that happened in BC. The last paragraph references legislation in Alberta.

<p>I think OP was being sarcastic. I think that because they added TM (for trademark) after "Feature", which I take to mean sarcasm is being expressed in the sentence.<p>All that to say, myself (and likely OP) agree with your thoughts.</p>

<p>I stopped reading this review after hitting this point. The next page gesture is so simple and gestures overall are a key thing to nail down if you're trying to use a remarkable. It sounds like it just wasn't for the author but it also seems like they didn't try to learn the device or look up guides for it.</p>
