And Mac OS is built adjacent to iOS which shares most themes and design principles. The ecosystem is already designed around touch.

Yeah, supporting a known pedophile on the internet is weird.

Following the Helium Privatization Act of 1996 and the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) completed the final sale of the reserve and its pipeline infrastructure to the industrial gas company Messer for $460 million in December 2024

Decades of work to hand over a critical resource to private hands.

What management thinks is good and what employees, especially engineering type employees, think is good are usually counter.

The execs want to run the most profit to cost they can squeeze out, usually short term. The employees see the value in the senior and knowledge rich staff with higher costs long term.

Anything that enables people to move off a gas car, especially older/cheaper/falling apart gas cars, is positive.

EVs aren't going to win over capitalism if they cost more than the competition. This sort of option is necessary.

Plus the lifecycle on these systems may be decades not weeks. At some point it needs to be segmented physically (more cost).

In 2017 I was hired at a place to support their ERP system and regular SysAdmin work. My first month was the last patch for their 10 year old ERP system. That was key software running the entire company and it was deployed before I finished middle school. The floor was run of scanners using WinME terminals that lost config on power loss.

That business is still profitable. I did not stay long.

But can you retain, process, and make use of that learning?

For me it's more like googling the capital of Nova Scotia. I used to know that, but I can google it more easily than memorize it.

I'm working off a 128gb Strix system on mostly hydro and it's worth it for me. Qwen 3.8 27B and Flash Next, Gemma 4 and MOE models. It Keeps my thinking and methods local while moving at a speed I can actually read and think about.

It can be annoying when you're running something long and realize there is an issue. But hey, I'm not wasting paid tokens. Reset and try again. I've probably thought of a better way by then too.

Has AI finally figured out how to do meals and recipes like a 7th grade boy scout?

If it is for everyone, open source the weights and model information. This is a for profit enterprise built on non profit and theft.

Make it open or it is not for everyone.

So you found them useful to script what other open source tools can do with basic automation tools? How is any of this unique to MCP?

Why is AI involved for any other reason than building the original test implementation?
