What you're comparing is really "keyboard-driven" via "mouse-drive". A GUI can be keyboard-driven and as fast as a TUI. The sad truth is that the status quo for GUIs is absolutely terrible, and most were rushed out

Maybe on macOS you have great APIs, libraries and toolkits for making high quality GUIs, but if you're wanting to write open source software or target open source platforms, your options are limited and poor. On the Linux/BSD side

This kind of AI-generated articles are always weird on details. Hyper-focusing on weird details while missing one higher level ones. E.g., they use Firecracker, they build and deploy backend applications, but they needed to run the stack on

That's exactly what git-annex does: https://git-annex.branchable.com/ LFS is kinda close, but you don't store the files "somewhere convenient": you need support on every git remote to handle the files.

No. In fact, the GPL states that the actual cost of delivery can be charged (consider this is from times when people still post-mailed floppy disks).

OTOH, I might very well want to take a screenshot of my own bank details, transactions, or other sensitive information. It's annoying that my information is being protected from myself.

> Even Steam store, a paragon of consumer utility, doesn't offer this. Steam has a "played elsewhere" button on every game, which makes it stop suggesting the game, but take it into account for recommendations.

They don't pretend otherwise, the article clarifies that their LLM has to take into account "business constraints" and such (which gave me a pretty nasty impression as I read it).

I've seen Dutch comics for kids which use ÿ instead of ij. E.g.: "mÿn". In typical comic font (which is closer to handwriting), it looks similar to ij, but it's clearly ÿ.

Qutebrowser seems to _want_ uBlock Origin-style filtering, but development on the feature has been ongoing for a long time and seems to have somewhat stalled: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/pull/76

This is pretty much Chinese grammar with English words. In Chinese you'd say "need ask" or "I need ask" if you want to be unusually verbose, but there's no "to". All your examples align with this too.

No bank in my country offers Unionpay. Of course, I could get a Chinese Unionpay card/account. Now each time I want to make a payment, I need to move money there, and can I even do that easily from a European bank account?

Yeah, title needs re-doing. Link makes no such claim either.

Potentially: remove thinking blocks, and keep the rest. At least this would ensure that the entire context of the conversation is still there, and anything said isn't lost. Having a second model also iterate the resulting messages and

An interesting move. Something that drives me crazy when interacting with China, is that I can only use American payment methods to make a payment from Europe to China. I pay a fee and the merchant pays a fee both to the US. It just sounds

Plenty of Android phones run Linux. If you're the kind of person who's going to AI-develop your own software for personal use, I can't imagine being adverse to running a non-mainstream OS (and it can always be a secondary pho

I don't see why it would be cold. It's been in the vacuum of space for decades, it's had nowhere to dissipate heat. One of the main challenges in outer space is dissipating heat, not keeping things warm. People freezing when

Meh, perhaps games from big studios, but the majority of games work fine without DRM. I find indie games and games from small studio a lot more fun and have a lot more soul than most "big studio" games.

I buy games via Humble Bundle when possible. They give you a link to download a DRM free copy, which I store away in a large drive. In practice, I often end up playing those games on the Steam Deck, but I know that in 20 years (if I keep th
