Did you consider some kind of arrangement of the notes that is less "equal-tempered", and that would highlight the harmonic relationship between the notes? probably would need to be key-specific.. or maybe rather now would you that fable is back?

"Matter" is an abstaction. Mind, properly considered, (i.e. not with words) is not.

Strict adherence to Occham's razor would have us dispense with the former, but the latter is useful empirically.

There is some dogmatic insistence in GP, but equally dogmatic throwdowns on the other side of the argument are often passed over as trivially obvious.

I don't know what's what, but I think this insistence is a useful counterweight.

Onuses are on whomever says they exist ;)

Just get an eink phone? They're $300 and come with slowness built in.

Well, no. The LLM is just better than you in a narrow band that appears wider to someone below than above.

From above, or from below with adequate exposure, it feels facile and hollow. It is good at weaving grammatical structures. It is not good at thinking in words in a way that invites a fellow human along for the journey. Because it doesn't think.

they're referring to the changes they tried to upstream to zig.

seems like it'd be fairly straightforward to get things setup where text blocks are double click to edit, have drag handles, delete buttons etc, and then you can also use surfingkeys to get vim style navigation.

overall i'm seeing a potential here for more human authoring, as you can really multiply the surface of your inputs with deterministic widgets rather than just delegating.

My first thought as well, but you can imagine how dangerous it would be if special forces started tanking their performance due to betting market considerations.

lol and github is the primary obstacle to that in today's software engineering

Maybe you and others would be less flippant if you had any idea how trivial these forces are compared to the pressures of denial and gaslighting survivors of sexual abuse face e.g. from their entire families.

pretty sure if you un-downtime a non-safari browser it applies to all websites.

I agree with the first part of your point, but this in particular is an emergent phenomena that only happens with large-scale civilizations.

So I think some kind of sociological argument makes more sense (I don't know what that would be though).
