I think an humble and open mind is essential. I think that we reap what we sow, but also that struggle makes us robust.
I try to explain stuff to my kids, to the best of my ability, but give them room to make their own conclusions. As an old fart, there is a limit to how relevant my world will be to them - and I have to acknowledge that.
Change is scary and not always for the better, but in my humble opinion; we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If a human put his effort into it, is proud of it and wants to show it to the world, i'm happy to invest some time to have a look at it and maybe provide some helpful feedback.
I'm not willing to invest my time into evaluating the more or less correct sounding ideas of a ML model.

Based on current trends I'm going to predict in terms of economics and politics we handle it as poorly as possible leading to violent revolution and possible societal collapse, but I'd love to be wrong.
Exactly and the world has to start talking about it. Eventually everybody will, including all sorts of politicians who advocate to 'finally tackle the problem', which will be too late.
It's just a joy to use and i also like it a lot design wise.
I like that it has a big display for 4 RPN rows, but i admit that that's something software calculators would even be better at.
It definitely has a nostalgic/romantic side to it for me.
Oh and for every day stuff, i really like to use Spotlight on macOS. It's really convenient: Command+Space, then just type the expression into the search box.
Does the Spotlight calculator still expect you to respect the locale and ignores decimal points as if they don't exist, if you enter them not locale-compliant?
10 years ago I tried to add 640.9 + 2.73 on a German-locale Mac (Germany uses "," as the decimal separator), and it gave me 6682 as the answer...
