@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Even though one should never mistake a clear view for a short distance, I have a persistent vision of looking at the streets and seeing nothing but cyber cabs, cyber trucks, and Tesla semi’s.

Whenever I have interacted with Windows, there has been the faint whiff of brutality. For example, once when I was crunched for time, windows forced me to wait for about 15 minutes while it didn’t update. All I was trying to do was turn off the computer, but it implied that there would be dire consequences if I didn’t let it do it update right then. The Appleverse is far from perfect, but in my experience, it is way better.

@sjvsworldtour @MarcelaMarjean As he says, Elon turns the impossible into the merely late. It will happen.

@dotselve I probably already mentioned that I love your enthusiasm for subjectivity. Sorry about the capitals. I’m dictating. Check back with me or Russel in a bit. If we ever get a full speed VM, we could host the Korz demo snapshot on it.

@techNmak @sapinker And thoughts like this are why I’m always interested in what you have to say. This is so right! E.T. Jaynes showed me that the universe is made of information just as much as matter. Obeying the laws of information and Bayesian probability just as much as any physical law.

@theficouple Notice the absence of any comparative figures in this post. That absence marks it for me as more persuasion than illumination.

@tvcutsem I’ve been supplementing my hobby programming with some Claude coding. My experience jibes with your takeaway. But, this may change and it’s very exciting to watch.

Joking aside, there is no one alive who writes about the classics with such simplicity and depth as @SpencerKlavan. Reading him on the Greeks is like reading Sowell on Economics. Clarity that puts the pseudo-scientific jargon of academia to shame. This piece is a joy.

@alt_w_v_g After I read this post, I wondered how much your wife respects you?

@heydave7 I’m amused and fascinated that the world has come to a point where we are now asking AI is what they think of current events. Sometime between when I grew up and now I was transported to a different planet. It is literally wonderful.

@SpatiallyMe There’s a WWDC video in which the woman who crafted the sound for that environment, talks a bit about how she did it. Amazing craft and talent there, too!

@yishan Yes, when my large monitor broke, I didn’t replace it. Now, every day I spend hours with the headset and the virtual Mac screen. And I love the ability to position at anywhere I need to, at any distance from my face.
