This reminds me of the infamous hacker news dropbox comment. Not to the same extent, obviously, but that wrapping something in a more usable, accessible way can be an enormously popular and successful product even if it's semi-trivial to set up yourself.

Have you tried a coding agent such as claude code or codex?

speaking strictly from an energy standpoint (power grid, megatons of warheads, etc).. it's probably close to that number.

I believe this is doable through iOS shortcuts or accessibility - a gesture can be programmed to simulate a tap on a part of the screen.

So the biggest thing is the laptop keyboard layout isn't great, and not every input field is tabbable? And that prevents powers users from even trying to migrate?

Largely speaking across technological trends of the past 200 years, progress is nowhere near flat. 4 generations ago, the idea of talking with a person on the other side of the country was science fiction.

I find it very fun to follow along daily using the site, We're only at year 2 of his diary on this trip around so it's a great time to join. People comment on every entry and there's a nice little community

It was well-known during that period that French shipwrights could built better ships - the problem was that the Royal Navy had better seamanship and would win most naval actions, and commandeer the better-built french ships and integrate them into the Royal Navy. So the british had the advantage of their own ships, and many of the better-built french ships.

I'm not sure I understand your point, are you trying to tell this person to not broaden their horizons when it comes to reading? To not read older novels?

We really are pretty lucky that the industrial revolution happened. Thank god for England running out of trees to heat homes with, and abundant surface coal on that island.

So that reason is exactly why the person you're replying to said what they said. The OOP said: "If you don't know what you're doing stick to index funds, buy and hold." which is clearly not great advice unless you're under the age of 30

Tab notation doesn't provide full time signature information, if you're picking up a piece of music which you've never heard played before

In tablature, imagine one string's line shows ---10-----7--8------11----13. How long do you hold each note? Clearly 7 to 8 is quick, but how quick? Sheet music gives you this exact information.

Cigarettes aren't technology so they aren't applicable here, and do you think you would classify cars as "being put back in the bag"
