Why is it fixated on the front perspective? Interesting choice though, because most humans (and seems like other LLMs too) would pick a side perspective

As a lifelong windows (upto 10) and linux user, no I did not find MacOS (using as the primary os since 7 months) incredible in any sense of word in comparison. Only thing I like is the mac hardware


Windows 7 was the last great Windows (it took the best of NT4 and 2000 and put it in a consumer package), and like you, I've used them all (Bob doesn't count). I lived with 10 for a long time, and Microsoft was trying to shoe-horn a lot of the nonsense you see in 11 into it. Ads on the Start Menu, and the dock.

But they've gone full-tilt Bozo with 11. The ability to deliver such an experience to their advertisers and marketing resellers was the whole reason for its existence. That is, 11 is about what Microsoft can get from its users, not about letting them use their own computer. It is no longer a suitable personal computing OS.

Warts and usability issues are present in Tahoe, and I wish Apple hadn't made the choices they've made on the UX, but Tahoe remains closer to being something for the user than Windows is.

Linux is generally for the sake of operating a computer (I didn't forget the user, but Linux--sweeps hand--makes the assumption that it's users are developers). That's what's so surprising about the age verification push in some Linux distributions (and their attendant bans for disagreement in the mailing lists or on GitHub).


I thought having a MacBook Pro after a few decades of Windows/Linux use would be utopic, but Apple hides a ton of keyboard/mouse shortcuts, so the majority of software is slow to learn and use. Simple stuff like split screen, file handling (particularly compressed files, mounts, and network), or USB device permissions leave a lot to be desired.

It gets worse when you need to add Parallels because a particular lab machine only has Windows support. Being Vim-dependent, I got unlucky receiving the butterfly keyboard model with no physical escape key.

excellent hardware specs, superb battery life, very opinionated aesthetic (I hate it.), not nearly as intuitive as one would assume


No only that, but per capita emissions of developed countries still remains higher. For example I found that US/Russia have 6x per capita emissions compared to India


This perspective is so important. The wealthy in western society are responsible for a massively disproportionate amount of emissions.


I built my own slide rule in school for fun! It looked pretty cool to me at the time. The template is still out there if you search something like "paper slide rule".


I've collected some links for building regular slide rules ([1] & [2]) as well as a circular slide rule [3]. Someone might also like the slide rule simulator [4].

That's very weird, I on the other hand don't remember noticing them or using them before the advent of chatgpt. Maybe it's a cultural thing.

It makes sense that humans would have been using it though, chatgpt learned from us afterall


Well that's because all these LLMs have memorized a ton of code bases with solutions to all these problems.


And commerically viable nuclear fusion


I harvest fusion energy every single day... It's just there in the sky, for free!


I find the whole article rather poorly written. Most likely using an LLM.


Yes. It feels like hell


The AGI might be able to deduce that it's not in it's interest to talk anti-croporation if it wants to survive.
