It's also from an era where you used one piece of software doing routine tasks that rarely changed.

Imagine learning all the keyboard shortcuts for every website you use nowadays.

For example I worked at a video store long ago that had some dos program to manage everything, I didn't own a computer and I didn't use any other software. It was still often a slow turd, and it wasn't networked with the 2 other local stores, so if I wanted to know if a customer had an account there, or if they had some stock there, I had to call.

[2] To preempt the inevitable petty drive-by pedant, I define "human" as any animal with these two properties, so according to this view, an intelligent alien from another planet would also be human, despite occupying a place in a separate phylogenetic tree or whatever.

Your alien might have some 3rd property that you do not, and thus may farm you.

A future AI that can produce and consume the sum total of all recorded human knowledge within the amount of time that you have a single thought will likely have many emergent properties that you do not, and thus may farm you as well.

Indeed, it usually rests on sentiment or convention rather than a sound and rationally grounded objective ethics.

Your whole argument rests on sentiment and convention, and would have been summarily rejected by the slave owner based on his own.

insincerely

You think these guys would become conscientious objectors if they got the order to man the gas chamber? You think they would have passed up the chance to visit Epstein island?

Somehow I don't

If we assume that on the podcast he presented a well reasoned opinion based on competitive analysis and public sentiment and whatnot, which is a big if for this guy, then I'd ask what changed? If he's truly desperate now, why wasn't he 2 months ago?

Maybe he just looked at their analytics and saw that everyone is trying to have virtual sex with it?

Neither does developing software given we've all been doing it for ages despite the M5 not existing, still nice to have though.

Plus you get more longevity, I'll keep my M4 iPad Pro until doesn't get OS updates anymore. I still feel no impetus to update my M1 laptop despite it being 4 years old.

Any tablet or tablet mode laptop I've used on windows is fucking miserable, so I've always assumed it was more a user experience thing rather than some plot to artificially limit neckbeards

That's true, and I would have gone for a 13" iPad Air when they were introduced, but ultimately went for the iPad Pro because I liked the OLED and 120Hz.

it becomes a web browsing and YouTube machine on the couch

My 4090 and m4 iPad Pro share this fate, with some occasional gaming.

There's a whole spectrum of use cases between artist and software developer. Honestly most people that I see at work just use Office software, web browser, and Teams.

I had a quest 2, but it was always blurry for me. Something wrong with my eyes, idk. I've wanted to try a Bigscreen Beyond with custom lens inserts, but too much money to invest on something that might not work out.

Damn it's nice to log onto Hacker News and see yet another top comment on an interesting article be bike shedding about webshit. And also wrong because if you crack open your react dev tools and have a peak inside the 2MB of javascript you'll see that this site is still everything you despise.
