Can someone explain the ramifications of this to those of us not informed. I’m in the process of about to deploy Nixos to server workloads, but am now hesitant because I don’t understand these ramifications.

Why does the iMessage screenshot look “off”. Something about the line-height, fonts used, etc don’t look like a real iMessage chat. Am I alone on this?

OT: a friend of mine recently bought a house. They were surprised to learn at closing that the seller had financed their solar panels and that wasn’t apart of the home purchase. So they had to negotiate who was going to pay off the solar pa

Don’t think of this as super intelligence. Think of it as vendor lock-in. We have a good compare, which is cloud in the early 2000s. Everyone (at the time) thought cloud compute costs would go to zero. What most corporations didn’t realiz

Hi Jose You’re an inspiration for many. Thank you. I’m curious to know what your top 3 hopes for BEAM itself are for the coming years (in any area that you think would make it better).

Elixir is great. OT: I wish more funding & development effort went into BEAM itself on making it more performant. Note: I’m not talking concurrency. I’m talking pure raw performance. Seems like it’s been a one person show for over a dec

Looks nice, congrats. Ironically, my “Zen Mode” hack was just to use a smaller display … that way I only had room for 1-window open at a time.

GPT-5.6 is the first model where I’ve actually frustrated to use it. I’m explicitly telling it to do something extremely specific and it’s just not listening to me. Eg, I gave it an image to update. The image is sized 400x200 pixels. It t

Dumb question: Can someone help me understand whag it means to have a “harness” for agents (and why you need one)? I’ve done some reading on the topic and am just not getting it.

This is helpful but ... What's the distinction between Work and Codex again? Sorry for asking - but they read the same to me. It's just a focus on coding vs non-coding work?
