Putting up a bug bounty of "ordering you a pizza" if anyone tackles this!
This may be a case of "you'll see more posts from people who are complaining than from the people who are busy using it." As a semi-relevant comparison: go on Reddit/Twitter any time there's a Fortnite update and you'll see and endless sea of complaints, yet the game is still being played by ridiculous numbers of people.
> 2. A lot of the rest are compatible
No one religion covers "most people." You could argue that Christianity and Islam (which add up to ~55%) are the same God because of their Abrahamic roots, but both religions have very important disagreements on the true nature of God that are fundamental to their beliefs and fundamentally incompatible with each other.
Their definitions of God do agree that there is exactly one God... which is fundamentally incompatible with the next two biggest religions (Hinduism and Buddhism) that both hold "there are many gods/divine heavenly beings" as core beliefs.
I have three devices in my room right now that fit the "standard" barrel plug shape. One is 5V, one is 12V, one is 12V with inverted polarity. If I plug the wrong cable into the wrong device it will break permanently. They do have the decency to label somewhere on the device what kind of power it needs but that's something I need to check every time.
In contrast I bought a couple inexpensive 6' USB-C cables that do 100W charging, and a couple inexpensive bricks that support that too. Every USB-C device I own - my phone, my laptop, my earbuds, my portable batteries, my portable fans - every one of them can power/charge at full speed or at least very fast.
And more importantly, I know they aren't going to get fried if I'm tired or in a rush and I forgot to check the plugs. I made one purchase of some inexpensive good cables+bricks, and now I never need to think about it again.
> He didn’t try to hide that he had used AI to generate much of his assignment. Instead, he admitted his anxiety. He felt that mastering these tools was essential for his future career, yet he had no idea how—or even whether—he was allowed to use them.
I'm empathetic to the student: I'd bet a large majority of employers/careers he's researching right now are making a lot of press noise about "the importance of AI" and how "it's a necessary part of the workplace now." Can you really expect someone in his shoes to avoid it entirely?
I've noticed when I'm spacing out and staring at a single point for a while that there's some kind of "tunnel vision" that develops, where everything besides the small point I'm looking at starts to darken and if I shift my body suddenly everything that was fading will "refresh." I always thought it felt similar to when a particularly bright light "burns in" your vision for a moment. Sounds a lot like the phenomenon described in the Stabilized Image article. Neat stuff!
I feel like this has almost never been true in big cities: it's impossible to know everyone and unless they made the news for what they did word wouldn't travel very far.
Besides that, I also haven't observed what you're describing in both the smaller communities and the cities I've lived in. People absolutely do still get socially ostracized all the time in real life.
This implies games are not still mainly done on Windows, which they absolutely are!
All that to say, CrankGPT, I am your target demographic and if you don't respond to my request for a demo I'll be cranking my keyboard with bad reviews online. Or cranking a rowing machine that powers an LLM to do it for me. Wait...
1. It's automatic (sure, scripting regular rsync syncs probably isn't hard, but...)
2. It's p2p across all my devices (which from what I understand is not how rsync operates)
So as long as my laptop and my desktop are both turned on I can trust they're always fully up-to-sync with each other, and in my experience they always are.
Is your "writing job" one where the end goal is like short random articles on some giant aggregate, or something like instructional content for businesses or something? Where a human typing things was just a means to an end, rather than what I'd assume OP's doing where they're writing for their own joy and/or because people love their specific voice? Because that's the only way my brain can rationalize it right now.
...but all the AMD 395+ machines I can find are even more expensive than the aforementioned cheapest Mac Studio. Mac Studio starts at $2,000 (only 32GB), AMD 395+ 128GB machines seem to start at $3,000 from what I can see.
Here's a bullet point list of the things Claude's done according to OP:
* it picked up the general path immediately
* he explicitly pushed into "lets have V0 game play loop finished, then we can compound and have fun = not giving up".
* [I gave him game design ideas,] he comes with working code.
* [I gave him papers about procedural algos,] and he comes with the implementation
* brainstorm[ed] items
* create[d] graphic assets
* he created a set of procedural 2d generators as external tools
* he even helped me build the lore.
Every one of these are plausible in isolation.
My partner on the otherhand has an M3 Max 64GB which I've had way more success with. Setting up opencode and doing a tiny spec-driven Rust project and watching it kiiinda work was extraordinarily exciting!
