There is one tiny problem in your assessment. That statement was written by the employees of Google and OpenAI, in solidarity with their counterparts at Anthropic. It doesn't really matter what Anthropic does. We're doomed! (cue t

How does eat detect a visual command in eshell? I use vterm in Emacs for visual commands like nvim and htop. But it's triggered manually with a simple custom prefix command (just 'v') added to the actual command. I wonder if

Passkeys are an antipattern in UX design. You want to make it simple for the users? Great! But stop treating them as too stupid to decide anything on their own. Stop locking them out of the decision loop and doing things behind their back.

I think you're getting downvoted because of your slightly strong language. Well! We will know that soon, based on how this post fares! The problem I find is that some people argue on the basis of outright weird logic, while neglecting

This isn't a hypothetical or fictional problem. This is a well-known and well-warned problem that we already see in action. How many pro-China biases have the Chinese models show? How often does Groq do whatever it wants? (Including ca

This is probably one of the reasons why many find POSIX shell languages to be unpleasant. There are too many syntactical sugars that abstract too much of the underlying mechanisms away, to the level that we don't get it unless someone

Perhaps it is intuitive for you based on how you learned it. But their explanation is more intuitive for anyone dealing with low level stuff like POSIX-style embedded programming, low level unix-y C programming, etc, since it ties into what

There is one missing factor in your argument. The wealth transfer. The public was almost never the beneficiary of copyright and other IPs. Except perhaps its earliest phases where the copyright had a strict term limit, it was always the cor

That argument falls apart when you consider that: 1. The ownership of security can be entrusted with the user. For example, if the user wants to install a 3rd party app store that doesn't use developer registration, they should be able

This is arguably worse, isn't it? The administration gets to say that it was the network's own decision and that they had no role in it. Taking over news and public media with the help of oligarch buddies is much more effect than

I don't fully understand what you mean, but you certainly don't want that in git. Git is a source code management system and that's all it should be. Any additional functionality should be added as an add-on (like git-annex)

Arch wiki is indeed the most informative and comprehensive of all, so much so that users of any distro should find it useful too. Two other distro wikis with smaller, but useful content are Gentoo's and Debian's. Gentoo's spe
