> I could well be wrong about this :)

Exactly. You assume and imply for most of your comment that the OP is wrong about his premise.

But people aren’t equally wrong about things. Some people are more right more often. So how should your POV change if you accept his premise that he’s usually right in these situations? Then could you make a fair reading of his post?

You would be steel-manning his essay if you assume he’s right in these arguments. Unless you believe that no position is more correct than another or that no one is more often correct than others, you can imagine scenarios where the author is often more correct than the people he is dealing with.

I noticed recently it’s cool to match the color of your vehicle to your house

Right so it’s gonna be a litmus test for knowledge workers going forward if they can separate style over substance. Genai tells are style. You have to be able to evaluate the ideas.

I don’t know, but it’s kind of boring to speculate since computers easily beat us at chess and go.

The reason you want to enforce a culture of collaboration is because that’s how you bubble up the smart people. The alternative is gatekeeping and cronyism.

Thank you for your service. Hopefully something like this can put pressure on airlines to understand how hostile their internet services are and that it matters.

Last year I flew roundtrip to the Philippines on Philippines Airlines. Each way they claimed they had internet and each time, they sent an email reneging the day before the flight.

The same thing happened when my sister-in-law flew with them a couple months earlier.

These are long flights during which I expected to be able to work. Just so infuriating.

My aunt is 80 and thank goodness she has an iPhone. She’s bedridden and spends all day on it. She has no children but I lived with her for a while when I moved out of my parent’s, and we text often.

> Because frankly the iMac wasn't really useful in a modern or a retro sense, though I expect some will debate its retro merits.

Can it run OS 9 natively? The earliest iMac G4 could, I've heard.

I bought a Mac G4 a couple years ago so I could have the most powerful computer that runs Mac OS 9 natively which then enables me to run Symantec's MORE.

MORE is this ancient, super dope outliner editor, which is just so fast and ergonomic at the keyboard. It's go all these features that have never really been replicated since, like cascading styles and presentation mode.

I use Workflowy, which I love, but I kind of want to play with porting MORE's UI to the web and see if it could perform.
