@theo@vicky_142803@QuinnyPig@mattshumer_ I've been interested in trying it out, but I feel like I have too much of my own scaffolding built up around Claude Code
192-core CPUs, modern phones that fit in your pocket and outclass a 00s supercomputer, solid-state drives that don’t die every time you sneeze on a hard disk, commercial jet engines that are quieter, safer, and burn less fuel per passenger-mile than ever, MRIs and CT scanners that can see tiny tumors that were death sentences 30 years ago, minimally invasive surgery that sends you home the same day instead of a week in the hospital, modern anesthesia like propofol that makes surgery vastly safer, vaccines and antivirals that turn once-terrifying diseases into annoyances, electric cars that need almost no maintenance and still smoke 20-year-old hyper cars off the line, gas cars that routinely go 200k+ miles without a rebuild, airbags/ABS/ESC that mean far fewer people die in crashes, LED lighting that uses a fraction of the power and lasts for years, solar panels that are orders of magnitude cheaper and more efficient than in the 80s, heat pumps that can efficiently heat and cool a house with one system, noise-cancelling headphones that turn a jet cabin into a library, 4K HDR TVs that make VHS and early cable look like a bad dream, home internet fast enough to stream lossless video to multiple rooms at once, video calling that lets grandparents see their grandkids daily instead of once a year, GPS directions that mean you almost never get truly lost anymore, translation apps that let you navigate a foreign country without speaking the language, digital cameras in phones that beat the point-and-shoots we used to carry, cheap cloud backups so a house fire doesn’t wipe out every photo you’ve ever taken, online maps and satellite imagery that make paper atlases look like cave drawings, power tools and cordless batteries that make DIY ten times easier, 3D printers that let a random person fabricate parts at home, hearing aids and cochlear implants that actually restore functional hearing, cochlear and retinal research that’s pushing toward restoring senses at all, safer childbirth with drastically lower maternal and infant mortality, and an overall life expectancy that’s longer largely because all of this stuff actually works better than what we had.
Now quit whining and get off my lawn.
@CylonAi @LowLevelTweets Oh for sure. I agree. But with the original context - I think Secure Boot, whether it’s on Windows, Mac, or even Linux, is a very good thing. And I believe Mac has some of the strongest guarantees when it comes to system integrity.
@LowLevelTweets Because they don’t understand what it is (other than that Linux is easier to install if you just turn it off) and the internet loves to complain about everything, especially Google/Microsoft/Apple.
@OzarksJon@Pastor_Gabe I’ve had Zenni get my prescription wrong several times. The quality is just not there. Go for Warby Parker at least, or Costco Optical.
@YayaSoumah@joshm@t3dotgg@browsercompany FWIW probably the reason that beta bugs affect Arc and not other browsers is because Arc is uniquely using Swift - and by extension Apple libraries which, on a beta OS, are also in beta. Usually these bugs are fixed by Apple with the final OS, but Apple isn't great at doing that.
“He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?”

@TomBuck $3.29 at Kroger in Atlanta. Which is still pretty expensive. Mind you, these grocery store corporations are also making record high profits lately thanks to “inflation”.
@piratechristian@CoreyJMahler Chris I've always appreciated your fighting for the faith and against crazy unbiblical ideas - and especially lately against this stuff. I'm frankly appalled, I always thought guys like him were just a made-up caricature. But nope - wow.
