I think people have forgotten the various historic monopolies and abuse they've perpetuated just because the new ones do it digitally.

Google's annual revenue is $350 billion. I can't believe someone would feel bad for such a company, because as you pointed out, this entire Gmail thing is part of the reason they have that revenue. Google has done nothing but be a

This is about how I use it. I initially use it to carve out an architecture and iterate through various options. That saves a lot of time for me having to iterate through different language features and approaches. Once I get that, I have i

I think it's most easily summarized by: "It's still important to know things and what was important to know before hasn't really changed". If anything, agentic coding highlights and accensuates the need for good sys

> What originally got me excited to build TUIs was the concept of delivering apps over the wire via SSH. This echoes my main interest in TUIs. Otherwise, I greatly prefer a good desktop application.

What does being in the middle of a metroplex have to do with air and plane traffic incidences? The only thing I can guess is it constraining the airport to grow or remodel itself leading to perhaps inefficiencies.

Yea, if anything, it's Apple's normal mode to heavily disturb and move things around.

It's curious how bad people say Azure is. I've never used it, but I've used AWS, and AWS is a gigantic mess. So that makes me concerned if Azure is worse than a gigantic mass.

But it's not a bottom up interaction. If whales are killed off from climate change, then those other things can get out of control. Too much algae, and then you have hypoxic environments. A perfect example of this is when sea otters we

I was not very descriptive, but I was referring to the next layer up of building blocks. Instead of text, we could also express things in hybrid ways with text but also visual nodes that can carry more dense information. The usual response

The point is, a lot of work went into making that happen. I.e., plain text as it is today is not some inherent property of computing. It is a binary protocol and displaying text through fonts is also not a trivial matter. So my question is:

That's just one view of the stack and isn't a systems view. Other things support and interact with those other things.

Appreciate the responses here. However, I feel like these responses are just to show us how much you know about the product and aren't actually helpful. Instead, why don't you and Anthropic be more open about changes to these tool

I said "government subsidized" and then later expanded out to subsidies, grants, and contracts. You know what I meant. There isn't dishonesty remotely anywhere. And the point of conflict of interest still stands and is unargu

Government subsidized purchase of a private company. Fantastic. All funded by the taxpayer to send rockets to a dead planet and to burn up all the energy on our alive but suffering planet.

I can understand that argument, but I don't think in-class exams are specifically good at that. I think for those situations, it requires more specific training regarding the domain, which is why I gave the medical profession as a coun

I disagree. Take home exams represent how work and progress occurs in the "real" world. There's nothing in the post education world that resembles in-person exams. Maybe the medical profession is a counter example.
