What language are you programming in? In swift I have found all models (including sonnet) next to useless. Tells me something wrong almost every question i ask, has made up macros and apis, etc.

For English I have found Claude models slightly better than the GPT 4 subscription I used to have. For anything in multiple (human, not programming) languages, gpt has seemed best for me.

I know they said golf announcer, but in my head I only hear old-timey radio announcer, which is also amazing.

I almost bought an electric vehicle recently, but ended up getting one last stick car. I will be buying electric, but I will hate giving up my manual transmission.

HyperCard.

Newton MessagePad 2100. I used it daily from 2008-2011 (well after I had an iPhone) for office work and everyone thought I was crazy but I loved it. I still prefer the ui for calendar/contacts/note taking compared to everything else out there.

Sweet zombie Jesus, I need that in my life.

Where’s the device that speeds or slows the passage of time?

I have dropped all sugar a couple times. It’s not easy, but also not terribly hard for me. That’s not to say that is the case for everyone, just me. I have seen people come out of addiction to a few different drugs and it was not at all comparable. To compare my experiences with sugar would be as insulting as OP describes, if not more so.

But humans are all different, so I wouldn’t be shocked if for some it is comparable.

The Parker jotter for me

My first card was that promo card (mew?) that they gave out when the first movie came out. My only other card is a sudowoodo, so it’s hard to choose a favorite. Nostalgia vs. a rock that camouflages itself as a tree for some inconceivable purpose. Actually, I think that description settled it. Fav is sudowoodo.

These are a great one. I love me some finger lime.

Stargate. Had a long run with good viewership and multiple series, but has had very little cultural impact compared to trek/wars. Sg1 can stand up to any trek series

Malie city, as it’s based off where I live. I play Pokemon go in Liliuokalani park (the real life malie gardens) all the time.

I don’t doubt that there was a kernel of truth to the jealousy aspect of your original comment, wanting to live there but not being able to afford it seems likely for some as CA has a lot going for it. But then you called people who dislike it uncultured, and even fat shamed them. I would say that went too far, and that’s the attitude I was responding to. The attitude in this comment is civil and one I can have an actual conversation about the pros and cons of California with.

Yes, this is essentially what I mean about the difference between science and california’s knowledge. The warning labels are directed at humans using the products, so one would hope that the warnings would be for things that would have some reasonable chance of causing cancer to humans using the product but that’s usually not true.

Yeah, I don’t think anything I said would be a good reason to move away, but then again, CA is probably one of the top 5ish states I would live in.

I don’t dislike California. In my other comment I said I think it’s an okay place. I only provided negative statements because that’s what OP asked for. CA has a lot going for it. It’s a beautiful state, home of Silicon Valley, etc.

And I think the attitude in your original comment speaks for itself.

I would say the attitude shown in this comment is a more likely reason than the content of this comment.

I think California is an okay place, but there are several things that annoy me about it, and here are some:

The houseless problem seems extremely poorly managed. I lived in NYC for six years and have visited California a few times. From my experiences, both SF and LA appear to have much larger populations living outdoors (I checked and this is true, 75% of LA’s population vs 6% in NYC, and the cities are comparable in both population and houseless population). Additionally, I’ve had more issues interacting with houseless people in CA than in NYC despite having lived in Manhattan many times longer than I’ve spent in CA. My guess is this is due to worse services/mental health services in CA. I would frequently buy food or coffee for houseless individuals in NYC and never had an issue. I once gave a couple of dollars to someone CA for bus money. They yelled at me because they needed a couple more for the bus. Another time I was followed for several blocks.

California as a state and population seems to be at least as much bluster as action. I don’t want to detract from some real actions, like car electrification requirements, but for example, prop 65, the “known to the state of California to cause cancer” labels. A) California seems to “know” many things that science does not. B) no one pays any attention to these labels, but they sure cost a lot to produce C) if anything, this will cause people to ignore future warnings for real things or even current ones like on cigarettes.

As a longtime resident of Hawaii, this one just annoys me. California claimed it was the first state to plastic bags. This is false; As of May 11, 2014, they were banned across Hawaii. https://www.surfrider.org/news/hawaii-becomes-the-first-state-in-the-u.s.-to-ban-plastic-bags. This did not stop California from claiming the victory when a law was signed later that year that didn’t go into effect until July 2015. https://www.ca.gov/archive/gov39/2014/09/30/news18742/index.html. California doesn’t just not know what causes cancer, they don’t know how to use google despite it being from their state. I suppose you could argue semantically that Hawaii’s ban was not statewide, as it was technically four bans, one in each of the counties, but that’s splitting hairs.
