Why should kids put away their toys first?

Isn’t it more optimal, from the perspective of play, to have them spread out?

I can see the argument that if you clear your desk, you’ll be more inclined to draw because you have the space. But if I didn’t impose that value, they wouldn’t necessarily draw. They’d just play with something else.

I don’t track my fuel usage. I did once. Economically, I don’t need to. The car tells me my MPG anyway, literally, if I care to look.

Accounts are harder to track now, with fewer physical assets and more renting and subscriptions.

The point you make seems to be that rigidity in the system would bring value. But I think the values people have often exist outside the system. The system is imposing an idea of what is worth tracking or organising in the first place.

Oddly, I think LLMs are quite intentional in their current incarnation. You start with an empty input box, state a curiosity, and go looking for information. There’s very little imposed structure around what you should care about.

That changes once OpenAI et al. start tracking what you do and recommending what you should be looking at before you’ve even formed the intention yourself.


Its better for them to put away Toy A before breaking out Toy B. If you dont teach them this habit, you will spend your entire day cleaning up Toys A-Z strewn all over the place. Children need to learn to clean up after themselves, its a failure on the parents part, especially if they force the other older siblings to be the clean up crew.

There are whole studies and philosophies on work/play. The one here answering your question is the 'Work Cycle' and the step 'Return Work'.


Anyway to know this is real?


As it says at the end, this was evidence at the class action suit "Comes v. Microsoft Corp.", which was eventually settled by Microsoft by paying $180 million, after many years of litigation.


Thank you! I didn’t know what it was. The downvotes suggest I should have.


You can verify it yourself if you read until the end.


You know, I did read it. Without the full context, it isn’t entirely clear. I have looked again, and don’t feel it is wrong to come away unsure.


Where I live, no Dad is being praised for changing a diaper. And golf clubs suffer.


Quite hidden in the mobile app at least. I had to click thinking. The slider goes 5.6 Instant, 5.6 Medium, 5.6 High, 5.6 Extra High, and the surprise 6 Pro


I see this as well. Odd there is only 6 Pro.


We should dice up time instead.


You're on the right track. We really need to dice up spacetime. Everyone can purchase their own spacetime worldtube.


The article implies the demand is for running locally. I’m not convinced, at least with a mac minis. Most people I know and myself buy the mini as it is always on, easy to setup, and isolated from my main computer which is a laptop. The mini is driving the use of the $20/month subscriptions.


As a thin client to access cloud models this is an astounding waste of money.


I think you miss the point and value add. The always on computer isn’t to run the client only, it is to run all the things a user would normally. The laptop becomes a terminal for a computer that can do anything your laptop can. If you don’t have the need or desire for that, then yes, use a rpi or whatever.


Why not use rpi then?


Easy integration with iCloud, mac native screen sharing/remote access, iMessage support, and a huge corpus of widely-adopted agents to pick from?


In my case, I dev on macOS. The env the agent runs in is the same as my dev laptop, configured and in sync. Has access to all the same tools and environment as I would on my laptop.


Value is that it holds so much code.


Ciao.


It’s an opt in service. Not the UK as a whole blocked.

To put their own model out in front?
