I don't see it as a bigger phone.

It's a new thing.

Not a phone. Not a laptop. Not an iPad.

It's an agent terminal.

I gladly paid $1,499 for an iBook G4 in 2005. (~$2,572 inflation adjusted)

I've tried the LG UltraFine and LG UltraGear (w/144hz) ... still went with the Studio Display. Expensive, but my previous Thunderbolt display gave me 12 solid years – hoping the SD does the same.

Edit: Also consider the price of speakers, camera, hub, power, and the "it just works" factor.

Dear Apple, Please do not add liquid glass to your professional applications. Keep it simple, gray, performant, and functional. Thank you.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I feel the same way about my M1 Macbook Air ... it's such a silly small and powerful machine. I've got money to upgrade, I just have no need. It's more than enough for even demanding Logic sessions and Ollama for most 8b models. I love it.

> If you own dead/brown/unoccupied land, you're an asshole.

Well said.

But yes, we should all be re-reading Progress and Poverty (1879), as our world shares many similarities.

My daughter said there are 5 oceans ... I said she was wrong, then we looked at a modern map. Who forgot to send out the memo about the Southern Ocean?

> Astronaut James Irwin, the eighth person to walk on the Moon, experienced a religious epiphany during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. The following year, he resigned from NASA and founded an evangelical organization, the High Flight Foundation. During his outreach work, Irwin met Eryl Cummings in 1976 and expressed interest in joining one of his expeditions in search of Noah's Ark.

Seeing our vulnerable blue planet floating through space must trigger some primordial fear of annihilation, as this seems to be a common experience among astronauts.

More trains please. High-speed rail between cities, lightrail between suburbs, streetcars between neighborhoods, and better shoes for everywhere else.

I love reading things like this that reinforce my belief that I personally know very little about anything. _back to writing CSS for me :)_
