   While true, it is also notable that ChatGPT is not a search engine, SearchGPT is not live yet, and that AI results have only further diminished the quality of search results in Google Search. If anything, OpenAI has only served to further e

    I use a cheap 75hz IPS from my office, though, ideally, I'd like to upgrade to a 240hz+ OLED w/ VRR since macOS now supports adaptive sync[0]; i've been waiting because I'm not satisfied w/ any of the OLED monitors

    I'm so distracted by latency that I run my macOS with vsync disabled 24/7 (through Quartz Debug). When I used to use Windows 10+ years ago, I had decent luck using xming + cygwin + Cygwin/X + bblean to run xterm in a minimal

    Why we never developed a vacant land/land value tax on parked domain names has always been a mystery to me — speculation through domain name squatting (and, to a more extreme degree, cyber-squatting) has always left a bad taste in my m
