Thanks for the recommendation. In my case, GPT revolutionized the way I use bash. If you know what you want to accomplish, gone are the days of endlessly fiddling around with syntax.

Kudos to MSFT for the blog post title of the year... Regardless of whether those GPU fleets came up with it or not :)

Last year I bought a second computer for my music studio. I wanted to use the same set of 2 monitors and wired keyboard + trackpad on both machines. I wrote simple scripts to switch my monitor inputs with keyboard shortcuts (even simpler wi

Do you go to google.com when you have nothing to search for? When you do, does the current opening UI feel that inadequate? There's a simple reason they haven't added tons of UI elements for things like advanced search operators:

Sam Altman is the principal. The agents are MAMAA middle managers, who are often also smart (though I'm clearly biased here, having been one of those in my previous life) but highly incentivized to be obedient and risk-averse.

Principal–agent problem! Previous generation assistants have been frozen in time by managerial capitalism. This is evident in literally all the incumbents that matter in the western world: Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Samsung. It to

"There is nothing, I repeat nothing, more intimidating than an empty text box staring you in the face." Talk about a hyperbolic opening line. Is it really that intimidating to have an empty text box on Whatsapp or your favorite SM

“There is a big advantage in being able to hunt when you’re warm and everything else is cold.” Pardon my ignorance, does anyone know why? Is it because the warmer creature is likely to have faster metabolism?

I've witnessed a large number of studios across the US and Latam using RX on a regular basis — places recording anything from indie stars to Grammy-winning artists.

Izotope, associated with MIT researchers, makes arguably the best such tool for the pro audio industry. Their RX suite is truly miraculous, allowing audio engineers to visualize frequencies in a similar manner, but also offering brush-like

As a friend who produced award-winning albums used to say, "I hope my kid gets into drugs — music studios are too dangerous!"

For anyone who is not into music production, these are the most ubiquitous audio monitors on the planet, for two basic reasons: a) They are not very expensive b) Given how popular they are, there's no other pair of monitors any given u

Always fascinating to see evolution arrive at similar outcomes in vastly distanced species / environments. Not only the "hands" are so familiar to us, the whole animal resembles an axolotl.

I love that too, only wish auto-scrolling speed could be adjusted (would like it to be slower).

I did the same thing. One more of those habits that didn't survive the transition to Mac OS X.

This made me think of Calico/Google trying to develop early cancer detection systems. If I recall correctly, they wanted you to swallow something that would be wandering in the bloodstream, ready to attach to loose cancer cells. That c

Getting a 64 gb 2021 MacBook Pro really changed the game for me. The computer now works on my rhythm, not its own. No need to suspend tabs or do any other shenanigans. Sometimes it's just not productive to stop everything to clean up

I second the Syntorial recommendation — https://www.syntorial.com . By far the best method I've seen, largely because you learn in practice.

Interesting demo, but of course Photoshop and a variety of mobile apps have had efficient "context aware filling" functionality for years now.

Again, yes, there are many problems yet to be solved. But on the subject of piracy, it is still pretty rampant even on major platforms like YouTube, to this day — but less so than when they started out. Very fair to expect a similar trend h

I agree there are lots of scammers on the community. But were you on the internet in the early 90s? Do you remember the type of jpegs that got shared around on IRC, pretty much making their way to your hard drives whether you wanted to see

You don't need it. You don't even "need" art. But: a) it's working, at least for now, and it certainly wasn't before (music label owner here, friends with many professional artists) b) decentralization really d

So many great recollections playing this on MS DOS. The thrill I would feel finding obsidian items! Makes me wonder whether a world in which those items can be carried from one meta world to another, through web3/MetaMask type wallets,
