I just posted something similar. I think Hokas are in Facebook territory now. My 75 year old dad has been wearing them for 3 years. We just hiked in Alaska, and every single person retirement age or older was wearing Hokas.
I wonder if this is a market signal to short Hoka; old people wearing them will be dead in <10 years, and no young person will be caught dead wearing them because it's an old person shoe. What is the Instagram of shoes?
Every regulation looks good or at least defensible in abstract, especially when some peddler is trying to sell it and the consequences aren't obvious yet.
Every day there is another story about the harmful effects of AI on literally everything, including mental health, IP theft, the climate, etc. "Think of the children" is and always has been a weak excuse.
Yes, you're correct, billionaires should not exist, and we should keep raising taxes until that is true. The "real" max wealth number is probably a bit lower, but 10 digits of wealth is a good starting point.
My Casio F91W has 7+ years. AW are much more capable devices than Garmins, both when it comes to compute and screen - it's understandable they use more power.
Can we please let humans write SOMETHING? There are AI-isms everywhere, which he even admits.
This reads like a Claude code comment; there is a ton of fluff, almost no content.
What was the "decision?" There are several entire paragraphs of purple prose setting it up, and I still can't answer it.

But how in the world could a simple technical decision be responsible for such a huge downward trajectory? If you haven’t guessed it yet, this is a post about Rails. And I know that Rails doesn’t represent or speak for all of the Ruby community, but I want to highlight the numbers before I make my point.
Oh my god get to the point.

wtf
Ok, after rereading again, I found the "decision", which was to not merge ViewComponent. ¯\(ツ)/¯.
I'm telling my HS kids to NOT go into STEM, because over the next 10 years humans capable of writing like a human are going to be in huge demand.
Take a picture of my son's printed basketball calendar and add it to my shared iCloud family calendar. Apple/Siri couldn't do it, Claude couldn't do it. Things STILL can't talk to each other, seemingly intentionally. My wife and tried over the summer. I told her Claude+Siri could do this in 30s, and she would try by hand. 20 minutes later she was done adding each event manually, and I still couldn't get beyond trying to convince Calendar on my iPhone to open an ics or whatever file. I was supposed to open the file from Apple Mail, which I don't use, and email it from gmail or something.
This example should be "Super Friendly AI Assistant!!" and it fails on the absolute most basic thing I could throw at it.
At what point did Claude fail with that, generating a list of events from the scan, or adding the events to the calendar?
I had a different AI (Grok) successfully take a prompt like "I live at this address and need to pick up my son from school at 2:30pm, and then we need to hit these three stores before heading back home. Find the path with the least driving and add all of these as discrete events to my calendar with their addresses embedded, and give me a google maps link with the full path so I can double-check". Did it correctly on the first try. I'd think other AIs could do that too. So I'm thinking it was the scanned image that gave it problems?
The failure is that the task was "can I take a picture of a printed calendar with Claude and have events added to my shared family calendar" and it is apparently not possible. The parsed file was fine, and maybe would have needed a few touchups, but Claude could not access the calendar directly, and Apple Calendar cannot read its own calendar format. So, failure, no partial credit given. My wife manually added the calendar in the time required it was taking me to debug this nonsense; I probably said "wait, no, it's almost done!" a half dozen times before throwing up my hands.
The added benefit of this failure is that by adding it by hand, we were much more familiar with the events on the calendar, and were ready for a few "outlier" events, e.g. a tournament 100 miles away that we knew about a month ahead instead of a few days.
If you had done this on a Mac, it would have worked just fine. The failure in your chain is iOS Calendar not being an intent handler for ICS files.
Another way you could have solved it would be to have the Google Workspace connection set up in the backend for Claude and it would write the parsed events to your account directly. Then in iOS you could move the events to the iCloud Family Calendar.
Or again, if you did this on a Real Computer, you could bulk-move them.
Yes, I know all of this. I have a Mac, and a PC, and an Arch Linux desktop, and an iPhone. None of the solutions are "easy." The task was "take a picture of a printed calendar with my phone and get it in my Apple Calendar (with zero intermediate steps)." This is not possible.
I want this data to be treated like HIPAA data. Any company that collects personal data must have a compliance officer, and any breaches should lead to people going to jail. If you collect personal data, you are personally responsible for it.
