Being from the UK - one of the privileged few to be tariffed - I couldn’t give a fuck about this.
The thing that makes me viscerally angry in my soul though is reading about Greenlanders who are now stocking up on food and/or making plans to leave their country if the worst case happens.
What the actual fuck. I can’t believe this is the reality we’re living in.
So, tariff away. As someone else said, it’s a badge of honour at this point.
So throw caution to the wind because a country (not your country) with 100,000 people are stressed out about geopolitics and possibly being acquired by the richest nation in the world?
Would you say the US government is acting with “caution” regarding a country (not their country) of 57,000 “stressed-out” people who don’t want to be acquired?
Yep, as a former Atlanticist and admirer of the USA, who cares any more? Any opportunity to upset Trump is worth Trump putting up taxes on Americans (aka tariffs).
Walking in an urban environment is generally not very pleasant. It is often repetitive (in the bad way), noisy and there is little to look at. It the reason they often carve out space for parks and commons.
I don’t disagree but the proposal to encrypt this data locally vs talking about this data being stored remotely on Anthropic’s servers (exposed to risks of hacks or legal disclosure) seems to be missing the much bigger privacy concern.
Also from the quoted tweet:
> “The trick is to forget that it’s called Claude Code and instead think of it as Claude Local or Claude Agent. It’s essentially a super-intelligent AI running locally”
WTF? Do they think that Claude Code is a locally running LLM?
Not OP, but here’s what I think they mean: if you want to eat healthier then get rid of all the junk food in your home. Only buy healthy food. No more deciding between health and unhealthy. You made the choice for your future self by changing your environment.
Think of it like moving a husky dog from Siberia to the Sahara. Nothing has changed with the dog, but it's not functioning quite as well after the move.
The classic examples are things like going to a library where everyone else is silent and studying, finding a job that suits your temperament, like accounting for the sensitive type and ambulance driving for the sensation-seeking type. Create a social contract for exercise meet-ups, and downgrade to a dumb phone to overcome doom scrolling. Having the router block all Internet traffic after 10 o’clock. And so on.
Moving from one place to another is immensely helpful for some. Changing friends, and even starting or stopping medication, counts as environmental changes in this instance, since it's part of the arena on which the personality plays itself out.
Just make sure to stay away from all this “nudge” people. They never have anything helpful to actually contribute to in this.
