"what's the meta"
not all strategy is *meta-game* strategy. "the meta" is only *possible* in a multiplayer game, where the balance of the characters is being continuously tweaked by upstream developers.

I just ran the math; and Apple's displays/devices have almost *precisely* the same "pixels-per-degree-of-visual-arc" (a much more important measurement than raw PPI.)
- Pro Display XDR (at 70cm) is ~53° of visual arc; that gives it ~112 px/deg

Man, I had a shit week.

Old trauma woke up at a crucial moment, and bit me really hard; and I think the whole thing, instead of being healing, just … doubled everything down.

It'd be nice if tech companies didn't take an accelerationist approach to exacerbating and widening every problem that already existed in society, but they have.

Thesis: ChatGPT is destroying education, students keep using it to cheat on homework and exams.
Antithesis: ChatGPT has no understanding of facts or semantics.
Synthesis: Homework and exams don't measure understanding of facts or semantics, and can be fooled by plausible-sounding bullshit.
