I feel like recent versions of Claude were designed to burn tokens. It is always trying to highlight and revisit solved issues and it writes about them in an alarming way to draw your attention.

It feels like it has been prompted to provide some minimum level of conversation, and also to leave hooks for keeping the conversation going. It is exhausting.

this is disappointing. I need a new machine soon but I am not interested in Framework if they are going to play the usual games.

Is thinkpad really it? I wasn't wildly excited about that one either.

Usually "good enough". Garages aren't big enough to be completely crazy in angles. People pick a consistent location for the tennis ball. Their face, a sticker, a mirror, etc. If they are off, its not going to line up correctly.

I am usually only traveling with a carry-on and I use something called "ranger rolls". Roll them as densely as you can get them. try not to leave them that way outside of immediate travel. I like it precisely of your space filling comment. I can fit clothes into what was ordinarily dead space with any other method in any other bag or suit case.

Thank you! that could easily be it. I use browsers like Zen and Vanadium so I might be triggering an issue.

its funny because I still had a couple of your links queued up from a few days ago. I was waiting for the server to get unhugged :D

I am not an expert at all but I believe the rough idea is that in General Relativity, everything follows a geodesic. The straightest possible path through curved spacetime.

They use that to explain why you don't feel acceleration when you jump off a building or out of a plane.

They say you DO feel it when you are standing, because the earth is impeding you and pushing you away from the geodesic you naturally want to follow.

So it is counterintuitive. the standing still person is being accelerated/pushed. The freefall person is free.

John wheeler said "Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve". I think it explains the circular nature.

Mass curves spacetime, that changes how mass moves , mass moving to a new position changes the curvature, that changes how the mass will move next. The dimple in the mattress staying with the mass.

I would love to see it. Pretty much everything we looked at was over-engineered and AI integrated. Now, we have something simple but it is overpriced because the simplicity is now a differentiator.

I had a recent files plugin but bases let me remove it.

I have a "system" base that I put on the ribbon. it defaults to "recently created", but I have a bunch of different views for hunting down anomalies too.
