@bcherny 4.7 is completely unusable for me. Completely ignores the specifics of my environment documented in detail in Claude.md, makes weird speculations, tells me it can't do things 4.6 has been doing forever. Massive backslide in usability.

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

@AmtrakAlerts Is this actually canceled? I just spoke with an agent on that said there were no issues and this was just the bus replacement that was previously communicated

Due to equipment unavailability, Wolverine Train 354 and 355 are canceled between Chicago (CHI) and Pontiac (PNT). Customers may rebook to the next available service. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

@votehub Can we get one of these for Michigan?

Maryland 🦀🎣 2020 presidential election

@Nnesha___ @jamesxosullivan @LynnBecker Truly didn’t know! I deleted the reply.

@jamesxosullivan @nlaferle @LynnBecker It did they’re just being dramatic!

Macy's State Street is living on borrowed time, in a vise between investment and neglect, priming itself for whatever predator hedge fund finally strips it for parts. Even the signage says "Shop online! Don't bother us here!"

@Joeweekender @LynnBecker Good to know actually!

@nlaferle @LynnBecker Oh, it’s not abandoned. It’s now commercial office space. Some logistics firm is a big tenant.

you need to be 737 maxxing. you need to have a few screws loose. you need to be dramatically throwing open doors to feel the fresh air outside. you need to be keeping yourself grounded. you need to be lighting yourself on fire occasionally just to feel something.

@ElieMesso @SawyerMerritt NACS doesn’t support three-phase power so it’s basically a non-starter in the EU.

@SawyerMerritt Is it realistic to expect NACS to come to Europe?

BREAKING: VW just announced they will adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) starting in 2025. VW customers will be able to access 15,000+ Tesla Superchargers in North America in 2025. Rebecca Tinucci, Senior Director of Charging at Tesla said: “Earlier this year, the North American Charging standard was just an idea. Today, with the VW Group’s commitment, almost every major automotive manufacturer is onboard, rallying behind a shared vision of improving charging experiences for all EV drivers. This is only the beginning of our industry-wide efforts to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”

@marshal Ann Arbor, MI. Usually 25 mins to major hub airport. Called “treetown” for a reason. Decent tech community. Beautiful immediate natural surroundings, plus access to west and northern Michigan for beaches & dunes etc. plus easy access to Detroit and Chicago.

My wife and I have started to consider the idea of moving away from Texas. Cities were considering: - Raleigh, NC - Nashville, TN (Brentwood area?) - Charlotte, NC - St. Louis, MO (Ladue area) Anything else that’s similar we should consider? We want big TREES, great nature, four seasons of weather. International airport, and ideally country clubs nearby. States with a high income tax are a no go. 5-6% state income tax is max I want to do coming from 0%. Summers in Texas are the worst. We can’t do it anymore.

@mikekarnj Didn’t @seandsweeney just post this?

Raising a family in a college town is underrated. - educated and diverse population - usually a sneaky good food scene - better cost of living than major metros - generally great public schools - culture/arts/music/sporting events - stable local economy (university is often the largest employer and isn't going anywhere) - big enough to not be bored, but small enough to avoid the hassle of large cities (e.g. traffic) Some examples I love: Ann Arbor, MI (biased bc I'm raising my family here) Madison, WI Athens, GA Chapel Hill, NC Charlottesville, VA Ithica, NY Ames, IA Corvallis or Eugene, OR What towns would you add to the list?

Detroit, a city plagued by absentee speculators sitting on vacant land and overtaxed residents, could be the first to embrace a land value tax. If they can pull it off, it could be a model of public finance reform in the Rust Belt. economist.com/united-states/…

I believe we'll see (perhaps large) population shifts towards the Midwest over the next 25-50+ years. Michigan is one of the most slept on states in the country. No place is perfect, but: - Michigan is one of the most unique places on Earth - surrounded by 20% (!) of the World's fresh water - Virtually no natural disaster risk (fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.) - Reasonable cost of living (at least currently) - Unreal natural beauty all over the state - Great cities and towns - including wonderful places such as Grand Rapids, Traverse City, and Ann Arbor. And despite being a national punching bag, most of metro Detroit is much nicer than most realize. Yes, winters can be tough. But nobody will ever convince me it's worse than AZ or TX summers. If nothing else, my fundamental long term belief in Michigan comes down to freshwater access. Climate change is real. Places in the SW US like SoCal, Vegas, Arizona (most of which are awesome and I genuinely enjoy visiting btw) who all rely on the Colorado River - is that really a sustainable long term plan? Maybe. But it'd make me nervous. Hopefully humanity eventually figures out desalination at scale. But just as its been since the beginning of time - people by scarce and important resources (such as fresh water!) will always have a leg up.

@aargreen @annarbornews They would be, but the restrictions around them are a poison pill that keeps them from being built here.

@annarbornews The city needs way more ADUs. They're perfect for students.

While Ann Arbor still clings to its liberal identity, there's growing concern skyrocketing housing costs are fundamentally changing the city mlive.com/news/ann-arbor…

@dreikov @TheFigen_ There is a camera array behind the rear view mirrors. Their view is cleared by the wipers.

@TheFigen_ Please explain why the Tesla needs it's windshield wipers when no one is sitting in the driver's seat..

When a driver could not go to her car due to rain, she had Tesla come to her car with its "smart calling" feature.

University of Michigan will be the first major university to offer a custom AI platform for its entire community. Just in time for the start of the fall semester, ITS is releasing a suite of custom GenAI tools unlike anything currently offered in higher education, providing our users with AI tools that firmly emphasize the importance of equity, accessibility, and privacy. Thanks to VP Ravi Pendse and team for their leadership.

@TravisRadina @DTE_Energy @freep @MLive @detnews @ayesha4a2 @MichiganPSC Thanks for your help, @TravisRadina. Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

@nlaferle @DTE_Energy @freep @MLive @detnews @ayesha4a2 @MichiganPSC Thank you for raising this issue, @nlaferle. I have also shared this with @DTE_Energy representatives directly. This is a serious safety risk that needs to be addressed immediately.

@DTE_Energy I already did and you told me you had no information, as screenshotted.

@nlaferle Good Evening Nate. Thank you for reaching out to DTE. Please send us a private message and we will be happy to assist you today.

👏👏👏

PEOPLE OF THE EARTH. Figured out how to ask natural language questions of current financial data and get back a natural language response...with correct/relevant numbers! 🤯💰✨ So. Freaking. Cool. 1. Send database schema along with the question and relevant scope/parameters to GPT. 2. GPT returns SQL query. 3. Run SQL query on your data. 4. Take returned data and pass it in along with the original question. 5. GPT returns natural language answer with relevant data! Original Question: What was the highest price of Apple's stock over the past decade and how does it compare to Tesla's highest stock price? And on what date were those highest prices? Final Answer: The highest price of Apple's stock over the past decade was $182.94 on January 4, 2022, while Tesla's highest stock price was $414.50 on November 4, 2021.
