I lament the decline also. Hopefully all of that lost energy has been put into good use on side projects.

On a tangent, but think it's related, the curiosity, exploration and research by the kids maybe stalling too.

Just a thought.

not all hours sleep/awake hours are equal - for example, I may be more work productive late at night, a better listener/learner in the mornings and better sleeper post meals, in the bath tub, travelling (my kids used to love falling asleep in the car).

Wonder if we could engineer multiple sleep intervals through out the single day (e.g. power napping, siesta's). There is plenty of dead time for me during the day that could be swapped out for sleep.. the question is at what cost to the body & mind?

Just a thought.

Just tried to programatically take a picture on my MacBook Pro 2012. Managed to take a picture in sub second. The LED flashes briefly and you could easily miss it .

Would be good to keep that LED ON well after the Camera switches off (Not sure what that minimum would be without causing an inconvenience - but how about 15 minutes ? - Long enough to educate the users to worry about their privacy and perhaps take breaks between making video calls !) - Just a thought.

True - but that cost just halved with today's introduction of "GPT-4o". The other cost is time. IMHO - I think there is more to worry about than email scraping..

Agreed - it's a waste. GPT is not too bad at reading text from image and with the added bonus that you can reason with it.

Heavily guarded fortress would indicate something of value inside, and the big crooks may spend a little more effort. In the age of AI, this becomes even easier.

I presume this Cloth is covered by AppleCare. Would be terrified to drop it.

Thank you Sir Clive.

I will wear my clashing outfits for the next 8 days.

if you listen carefully you can hear the music...

is it fair to use line count alone ? maybe the character count should be used as well (excluding whitespace)

It would be interesting to see how diverse each of the diversity groups are - for example, breakdown of Indians by caste.
