The thing you can do in the terminal that you can't do in a GUI, is glue together over 50 years of useful tools, no matter where you got them from or if the authors have ever heard of each other. If your workflow fits entirely within a

I've also seen this. It'll run 'strings' against the binary and then convince itself that the Makefile isn't working right, and there's some imaginary sandbox preventing the code from compiling properly. So it

And they all do. I had to add special instructions to tell Claude Code to prefer its built-in read_file tool, rather than using `sed -n 180,210p` everywhere.

Kind of a circular argument, isn't it? "Some people are saying it's very good at coding. If that's true, I don't care if the code is good."

Sure, but if there's a trillion dollar company saying that it's going to replace all our road workers or engineers - I'd want to listen to the opinion of an expert. Some reporter from CNN driving over it like "yeah seems

Limiting the character set is done to reduce the frequency of "can't enter my password" support calls, not to increase security directly. Same with the maximum password length.

There are much better soft-body sims out there to jack it to, if you are so inclined.

It depends on what you're simulating. A lot of what you'd use soft-body sims for run as a shader on a GPH - think hair, or a smirt - as long as it looks good, that's good enough, because it doesn't have physics interacti

Rosetta 2 is software, but there are design decisions made for the M-series chips that are specifically made to improve the ability of Rosetta to work in a performant way. The main one I'm aware of is the x86-TSO memory-ordering mode

The dishwasher does automate a large part of doing the dishes, but not the whole of it. A Jetsons-style robot maid would also be able to clear the dishes from the table, restock the cabinets, and set the table before dinner - in addition to
