Yeah, here in UK I have completely stopped using Amazon. Argos, John lewis and other retailers have good enough delivery and return policy. I don’t have to query about fake products when buying from them too! If I want cheap stuff, I simply go to temu or other cheaper supermarket. Amazon does not add any value.

> you had to build a model of the world just to survive the tension?

The world the author is describing currently has LLM in it. Irrespective of the author liking it or not, it is here to stay. So to build a model of the world, you would still need to consult an LLM, understand how it can give plausible looking answers, learn how to effectively leverage the tool and make it part of your toolkit. It does not mean you stop reading manuals, books or blogs. It just means you include LLM also in those list of things.

Could be lot of reason. Older European cities with high-density stone buildings and less green space often trap heat more effectively than typical U.S. suburban layouts. Europe has a larger proportion of elderly residents (aged 80+), who are the most susceptible to heat stress. You just picked a data and are trying to fit your narrative on top of it without really considering all possible aspects.

That is my concern too. A chip optimised for a model or specific model architecture will not be useful for long.

That's sad. When I last checked, insta pot was the only brand offering stainless steel vessel. Everybody else were offering only non-stick options, which I did not want to use.

It is already possible to experiment with Arm IP for free with Arm flexible access.

Yes, the fact that heat on electric is controlled by switching on and off cycle is what prevents me from switching to it (I believe induction does the same to control the heat). We need no fancy control or michelen rated appliance, just a basic gas stove allows us better control than electric stove.

I love cooking on gas. As you mentioned the convenience is unmatched and it is a pleasure compared to cooking using induction or hot plate. Induction certainly seemed more efficient with how fast it used to boil water, but when cooking food, gas always wins for me. Not to mention, lot of pans I have will not work on induction or hotplate.

I have felt the same thing. The MacBook is an awesome piece of hardware, with a bad OS on top of it.

I have always felt Macs are awesome hardware bundled with poor OS. Apple needs to up their software quality.

I started with hunt-peck style typing and can now type without looking at the keyboard because of muscle memory. As you mentioned, typing has never seemed like a productivity impediment to me since I don't think I ever had to type at 120WPM when programming.

Curious, why doesn't supermarket bread go stale as quick as bakery bread? Is it because they use some sort of preservative (I could not find anything obvious in the ingredients list)?

I have noticed the same thing with Mac fans. Another meme from the past which needs to die is that Mac has better user interface. There are so many annoying and missing UI issues in Mac and dare I say Windows has better UI for some aspects of the OS than Mac.

MS Windows does the same thing with Hibernate.

MacOS continues to connect with Wifi even when the lid is closed and it is suppose to be sleeping. Both Windows and MacOS does not honour the contract with the users.
