Did you even read the article? It's basically a shitpost trying to frame macOS dropping support for AFS as "killing" Time Capsule (which was released 13 years ago).
When Linux dropped support for 486 did people rush out and complain about remote kill switches?
No, your Time Capsule (if you even have one, which I highly doubt) is not going to become e-waste. You don't have to upgrade macOS, and if you do, there are options to make it keep working.
Ed could have been right, but I think he's a bit of a front runner than ended up being out too far and not accepting that, for coding at least, the tool is useful. And coding is a big business itself. Of course there are always going to be shenanigans to point out, and I'm glad there are skeptics.
yeah and for almost 300 years people have been answering Hume by saying, well, that's great David, but learning what "is" puts the meat on the bone of all of your logical frameworks.
the existence (that is, the "is") of global warming imposes moral ("ought") on people who use carbon, for example.
I can easily hit the weekly limit on Claude even on the $200 plan. I have yet to ever hit a rate limit on Codex $100. And the results are almost as good. And don't get me started on Anthropic's extra usage scam.
Not the op, but it’s fairly easy to hit if you automate a kanban and have some stuff you want to get done. All those little “wouldn’t it be great if” tasks that show up after doing a big task become very doable, it just soaks your tokens.
That's a nice gesture after they seemingly changed the rate at which my credits were being used to like less than half of what I was getting a week ago. But I'm getting tired of all of this changing all the time.
Pretty sure I was hit by that caching bug because there was a few hours where I immediately hit my session limit and then shortly after I hit it again all while the system wasn't even working because of downtime, likely due to the increased token usage...
But I think it only lasted for a short period of time.
What's causing the interest rate hikes, Marc? Could it be inflation? Could that be caused, at least in part, by AI sucking up all kinds of things? There's more than one way for it to kill jobs.
As the other commenter pointed out, AI is deflationary unless it’s a scam. Cost increases in a subset of the market doesn’t counteract that.
Tariffs and dropping 20% of global fossil fuel production on the other hand are _massive_ inflation boosts. The US government is using an assault rifle to shoot the US economy in the foot.
> As the other commenter pointed out, AI is deflationary unless it’s a scam.
That other commenter made a very common mistake - confuse shallow econ theory with reality. In practice, AI doesn't have to be a scam in order to be inflationary, it has to only incur higher costs than the labor savings, which is clearly the case today.
The cost of AI has to include the cost of public assistance to the "saved labor" because without that things get political. If you think about it, there's no way for AI to result in anything other than harm in a system which is not specifically built to accommodate AI.
The inflationary pressure is additionally increased by providing the services far below cost on a vast scale. Think about near-worldwide free LLM usage funded by... US inflation, that's the reality.

War and war funding are also massive inflation boosts, they should not be missed when discussing inflation.
There are huge swaths of workplaces that run on Google Docs. If you're using features of Excel and PowerPoint that doesn't work on Docs (except maybe fonts), it might be fair to say you're the one with the incompatible doc these days. K-12 education would be one such world.
