Just a guess, with Macbook Neo releasing, M$ likely got scared of mass exodus to MacOS (the average PC user can now consider a Macbook and it likely wipes the floor with all Windows laptops out there) and decided to throw in a damage control piece.
Hilariously, the MacBook neo has the same taskbar issues since it was what Microsoft copied. No one is getting replaced so I’ll guess they’ll just add some customizations to make it more Mac-like to win users back.
Yes, especially if people living in the city. I have known Japanese people who can’t speak English well but can read technical CS papers and understand well enough to give a summary and presentation in Japanese.
Just keep in mind they are usually very good in reading, okayish in listening, and kinda needs work on speaking. But that’s expected. If you live a daily life in Japan like the Japanese, you barely need to speak English, or hear it, if at all. Even the foreign staff at the convenience store speak Japanese good enough for them to carry on their duties.
I clicked "Accept" because I didn't want to deal with it later, especially given the new terms, and Claude training on new chats and resuming existing chats from September 28th,
but the "Accept" and "Not Now" are for the new terms of use.
So by toggling off and clicking "Accept", it will accept the toggled version. You can check the setting after accepting it at: https://claude.ai/settings/data-privacy-controls It's the "Help Improve Claude" button.
I personally don't use any AI Code Assistant, but I did find the below video a level-headed and nice analysis of the subject, where the author uses 4 different AIs to build an HTTP server in Python.
Kinda different from your specific use case, but should give some hints on which one would serve you best, and is an interesting watch:
It was never different. Just, with the advent of iPhone, FB, WhatsApp, Youtube, etc, a lot of people basically decided to ignore this fact of life. So good and for so long that they completely forgot it. They forgot it good enough that even their childs got no education in that regard. And every some days, someone gets a lesson. ;)
Why should Yelp not throw you under the bus for money?
The problem was that (impersonal) you stopped understanding basic mechanisms of human interaction. For no real reason.
As someone who moved to Japan over 8 years ago, the observations make sense!
Also, if you're considering "living" in Japan (which is a totally different beast from visiting as a tourist), here's a hypothetical scenario. See how you feel the first time you read it.
You, alongwith a group of friends/group tour members are walking down the street towards the station to go to your next (sightseeing) destination in Tokyo. Assume none of your friends/group tour members are ill-meaning (as in, they don't behave like bad tourists, littering the streets, being loud because they want to etc.).
Now, assume that the group you are with is being louder than other locals around you, possibly because they are in good spirits after a good meal or sightseeing experience. What is your way of thinking:
a) Do you realize that your group is being louder than other locals around you?
b) If you realize so, do you still not feel anything and keep walking with the group?
c) Or do you feel uncomfortable that your group is being louder than others around you, and want to distance yourself away from your group?
If you're more inclined towards c), then your way of thinking is closer to the Japanese people.
Source: had the same experience when I visited Japan over 10 years ago for the first time, and I was so uncomfortable it felt like torture just walking with the same group.
Japan, for better or worse, is "unique" in many ways even today, including how people think and behave.
It's not for everyone, but if you think the article's observations and the scenario above are something you like and want to be a part of, you'll likely not have too much of a hard time adapting to life here.
Also, if time and energy permits, please, learn the language. It'll expand your world so much here.
>>Also, if time and energy permits, please, learn the language.
My opinion: Even taking ten hours to learn a few polite phrases makes a Japanese trip infinitely better. It signifies to Japanese people that you're trying to understand them and they very much love it.
I have to agree. I don't mean to disrespect the existing app, it looks really good and well-polished, but... as someone new to the MacOS ecosystem, $150 feels highly pricey. It's as costly as a Windows / Office license!
At the same time, there are apps like Mindkit [0], which seem to do similar things as this, but with more features, but which cost 3000 JPY(20 USD) lifetime.
Personally, the only time I can justify 150 USD for a purchase of an app is when it has as many features or is as impactful as Word/Excel/Powerpoint combined.
No disrespect to the people who made it, good luck with the app!
