Apologies for so many questions, this is a very interesting line of reasoning.

What makes petroleum artificial compared to any other substance found on (or in) earth?

It seems you are proposing that "any food that has had a petroleum product added to it at any stage is artificial", which is an oddly narrow focus.

For that matter, does this definition of "artificial" extend to the range of substances that can be synthesized with bio-feedstock?

To expand on our discussion, would this mean that ethanol made other feedstock is natural, but made from petroleum is artificial?

AI is not reaonable.

"Hours spent on the project" would be a much more useful metric, with no confounding variables. As it is, the mere mention of interleaving time with your kids and time engrossed in tech hits a nerve at time when IMO too many parents are doing this already, and lends unwarranted validity to the idea.

I'll bite.

"between time with the kids" is another person's "during time with the kids".

For me, "between time with the kids" means my kids are engaged in another activity that does not require my input until they are done with it. Whatever I am doing during this time also is typically very interruptible, so I am ready to help the kids along to their next "thing" (the joys of being a parent!). On a typical weekend (my oldest is 7), I'll get maybe 2 hours of this time during the time my kids are awake.

On the other hand, I think this would solve Claude Code's current problems with their React-rendered terminal app.
