I’m also a physicist, and I do worry about physics. I’ve already had a few successful sessions with Claude and Astra where they came up with useful ideas in my field. I still know what to ask for and nudge them where it matters, but I fear it’s going to be a few short months before they can decide that too, unassisted.

My late neighbour Tullio (wonderful old man, clock maker) once told me that when he was a kid he cared for a chick crow and they went on to be friends for many years. For example he would ride his bike to work in the morning and the crow would accompany him along the way, and then back home in the evening. What a magical frienship.

I’m not in any way aware of how macOS is architected, but aren’t all these inconsistencies (like different app icons, different menu styles, different window corners etc) pointing to bad code design? There should be one shared source of truth for what needs to be consistent.

I don’t think this is true.

Come on now, I don’t think it was meant as a justification of that inexcusable driver’s behaviour.

As cool as this looks, I can’t get past my suspicion of Meta…
