Kitty / Wezterm / iTerm2 / mintty and a few others already support base64 encoded gif/jpg/png, which are more space efficient, and easier to splat as b64 blobs than to dither and sixel-encode. Sixel needs to die.

Not frustration. Astonishment, at such low levels of self-awareness. People who will neg an entire region one minute, then get so hurt and offended by the advice of " don't wreck your pancreas " that they flag and report it

> Nyet. Read the links I gave you. Our task is selection from the choices the machine generates. That's how you build an intelligence amplifier. The machines are capable of arbitrary precision. I'm already familiar with the Eng

FWIW, I don't know why they downed you either. Just thought that your epitaph was premature. Despite recent developments, the symbolic calculator via teletype is still getting me to the point of "correct" faster than ChatGP

I would also want to know this prior to any interaction. There is still so much money in this space, and the risk of your innovation being harvested / co-opted / subverted along with it. At this point Mozilla seems to exist sole

GPT is master of "approximate". Automating "correct" is still an unsolved problem. Will it be solved tomorrow? 5 years from now? Never? Who knows? Bicycles, and their near-optimal designs, are still a $68B industry.

I've been poor. I've been in situations where the only lunch option was McDonalds. Didn't get fat. Didn't get diabetes. How come? Ordered a cheeseburger, small fries, water, while all of my co-workers "super-si

T2D doesn't arise from a moment of bad luck or inattention. T2D arises from a long stream of sub-optimal choices and ignored warning signs. I am not here to argue for or against socialized medicine. I am here to tell people that the

Industry caters to consumer demand. If consumers wanted white meat, fruit and vegetables, they would have been provided as cheaply and abundantly as red meat and corn syrup.

Of particular interest: A SNOBOL pattern can be very simple or extremely complex. A simple pattern is just a text string (e.g. "ABCD"), but a complex pattern may be a large structure describing, for example, the complete grammar

Rest of the world has dollars lying around. Suddenly, several of their trading partners stop taking those dollars, throwing supply/demand for dollars out of whack. Execs would be foolish (and in breach of fiduciary duty) to not raise
