   What? That practice is absolutely terrible. Many people just have no idea about it, and then their offspring might grow up with terrible shame or something if they ever learn what was taken from them. Alcohol is also terrible. Nicotine is t

   We will not see memory demand decrease because this will simply allow AI companies to run more instances. They still want an infinite amount of memory at the moment, no matter how AI improves.

   Even Apple now has one of those, when you plug something into the USB 2 port on the MacBook Neo.

   It is better to reason about the spectrum of possible users than to assume "users" can be simplified to a single concept of "user". Not only are there different neurotypes, but there are also different skillsets, upbring

   Server-side decorations "with shadows and focus indicators" -- is it not using macOS's native window chrome? Pass... Add OpenGL instead of Metal, and hard pass.

   macOS supports VoiceOver even in the boot disk selection screen. That's the real king of accessibility.

   I used to use Telnyx many years ago, but was squeezed out when they started adding layer after layer of mandatory identity verification. Nope.

    `uv` isn't even a Python interpreter. I prefer to build my systems without Python support.

    Using Python from other languages is terrible. I love this kind of testing but this implementation is not for me. I was so excited before learning it depends on Python.

    This article seemingly misses any explanation of what DSPy even is or why it's supposedly so complicated and unfamiliar. Supposedly it solves the problems illustrated in the article, but it isn't explained how.

    I pay $200/mo for one assistant, from one company. The number of other companies that want the same kind of money for other assistants is increasing. I wish I could pay $200/mo and get all the companies.

    I'd become afraid to ask that bot anything, not knowing what it would automatically try to purchase for me. Paying for the bot itself is already a lot: $20/mo to $200/mo or more.

    When the IME inserts the character, it'll be made up of multiple bytes because of the nature of UTF-8, so it may appear as multiple asterisks regardless.

    Do we know if the asterisks count Unicode code points rather than bytes?

    Some are more used than others, and indeed, JPEG is an initialism. My point is the uppercase treatment doesn't depend on initialism, i.e. RAW doesn't have to stand for something to be capitalized because uppercasing file extension

    RAW gets all caps the same way TXT, JPG, CMD, SH, BAT, and etc. get all caps. That is, you are also perfectly free to say raw files, text files, JPEG files, command files, shell scripts, and batch scripts, or .txt files, .jpg files, .cmd fi

    I'm not so sure. I sort of wish they hadn't been acquired because these sort of acquihires usually result in stifling the competition while the incumbent stagnates. It definitely is an acquihire given OpenAI explicitly states they

    Jealous of the access to Oxide Computer. I would love a rack for myself, but don't have the hundreds of thousands to spare. Or three-phase power.
