#1 seems like a feature, not a bug. The real problem is that health insurers in their current form exist at all.

Not for me. I tried out the high refresh rate thing, switched back to 60.. can't tell any difference at all. Same for high DPI vs "regular" DPI screens.

Screen flicker on CRTs with low refresh rates was terrible for me, but with modern flat panels.. nope, can't really tell the difference.

Huh. Maybe that’s why I find Claudish fairly easy to read.

For most of my life, I never quite “got it” about the night sky. It was pretty, but not THAT different away from cities.

I only recently learned that visual snow syndrome is a thing, and that most people don’t have it. For me, there is a faint background of multicolor static (analog TV on a dead channel, for those who remember that) on everything, all the time. Light washes it out, so it’s only in the deep dark that I’m absolutely surrounded by it. (It’s basically visual tinnitus, which in turn lead me to discover that I’ve also had auditory tinnitus my whole life, it’s just a soft static not a “ringing” so I never realized it was the same phenomenon.)

It’s bizarre to me that Claude Code doesn’t have more guardrails on plan mode. I mostly use Copilot and the plan mode there has teeth. In plan the agent does not have permission to write to the filesystem outside of a temp directory and the plan document itself, and tool calling is heavily restricted.

There’s also a “ask” mode which is read only. Both are enforced by the permissions model, not just a system prompt instruction. I’ve seen the model “forget” and try to start coding - it bounces off a hard permissions failure and that “reminds” it that it’s in plan mode.

How it works in my state: For in person renewals/changes, they punch VOID into your old license, give it back to you, and give you a temporary license printout. Then your new license is mailed a couple weeks later.

For remote renewals/replacements, they just give you a temporary license to print out and then mail you a new one. The old license never gets physically cancelled.

There absolutely is a market - anti-AI sentiment among creatives isn't going away. Like any other "purity" branding, it's a real commitment and severely limits your future ability to pivot.

I don't know of anyone in the VC or traditional incubator communities who has an appetite for this. And the groups who are an ideological fit don't have the funds to be worth pursuing.

It's a niche. Like most niches, there's the opportunity to prosper, but yeah - bootstrapping (or angel-bootstrapping if you're lucky and have a personal connection) is pretty much the only way to go here.

I will take those concerns more seriously when we start hearing similar consensus from the Chinese side.

A routine urinalysis has always been part of my normal annual physicals.

It’s still the standard for “white goods” (larger home appliances) in general.

Same here, except we just defaulted everyone to Auto and expect the percentage of tokens spent via the auto router to be high.

At an operational level for the railroads, we have PSR, which is even worse.

Also, my phone follows me between vehicles and provides the exact same interface in all of them. Heck, I can switch vehicles and my podcast or music starts back up right where I left it. That alone is a major win for the phone-based approach - if I drive my spouse's vehicle for instance, or my old truck because I need to haul something, doesn't matter, they all have the same navigation and audio.

I'm the same way. The scanlined, subpixeled versions just look terrible to me.

FPGA based devices that can do this, and quite well, do exist, they're just expensive. The RetroTINK-4k Pro is the top of the line as of this writing but it's a $750 converter.
