Almost certainly more I would think, precisely because of magnitude errors. The ol' "What weighs more, a pound of feathers or two pounds of bricks" trick explains this perfectly to me.

Or, just use https://zim-wiki.org like I have for well over a decade.

Hmm. I don't know. I am glad they're not harming anyone else, but also -- like, I have kids. And if they were to get into this sort of thing, I'd at the least be like "Well, that's STUPID. Why put yourselves in har

Technically true, the worst kind of true. The original phrase is good as is and much better than this nitpicking if we'd like to see actual movement on the issue. “I should be able to run whatever code I want on hardware I own”

As someone who does follow cryptocurrency and still remains hopeful and optimistic that it can do good in this world (I know, I know) -- what a weird little article to pop up at this time. I had to double-check the date, because this is lik

Oh sure. But it doesn't need to be everyone; my go-to analogy is how we used to do "cars" vs a lot of them now? 50 years ago, you don't have to be a car guy, but if you know one, that's all you need to save a LOT

I find that all of these discussions are rendered somewhat goofy by our very binary view of "programming" and "not programming." It's like asking -- "will robots be good for building things?" Sure, some th

Interesting. The first thing I've realized is that I need to stop looking for an all in one solution, and that for me it will be healthy to distinguish "curated" from "non-curated." I've solved the "non-cu

Yeah,that's still really bad. I own the device, period.

I'm not sure why you think this is a good metric; the space of "random Mac binaries" is far smaller. There's probably something to be said for this "curation," but you pay for it, both literally with money and

Right, I mean, author has the right to do this -- but it still seems like a gloriously stupid thing to try to get someone to pay for in this way; like what market is this? Like, I'd bet "Pay $10 if you like it" / Reape

One thing that I think this argument sorely misses is an honest discussion of how e.g. bad (or perhaps unliked) decisions get made that have big impacts here. For example, count me in with those folks who think the "new" GNOME s

Meanwhile, I'm over here going from https://zim-wiki.org -> HTML Plus a little rsync script. Hard for me to not look at this and find it all very silly.

This is fantastic, can't wait to incorporate it into my web design classes stuff. Also, I do hope people begin to see the value of "designing toward intuition," I can't help but notice that efforts like these are exact

Genuine question from someone who thinks they understand the tech: I don't get why I haven't seen a whole lot of (or any) of these models or tools "self reporting" on "confidence in their answer?" This feels li

At the risk of being old and optimistic; my gut right now is: GOOD, maybe the antisocial youngn's could perhaps make some real fundamental strides in hacking around/replacing/ doing SOMETHING about DNS as it serves. My old mi

Can't help but consider how, perhaps, this could be a teaching moment for other folks. I know "convenience reigns supreme" but getting perhaps less-tech savvy gamers knowledgeable about what is being given up when you use ant

It's very odd, I was looking around and none of the guides really clearly explain it, but basically, there are "Pages" (files) and "Blocks." Every page is itself a "Block," but may also contain multiple

While we're here; as a long time zim-wiki user, and as someone who dabbled in org-mode for a year; Obsidian never felt compelling enough to switch. For me, this year, Logseq did. The killer concept for me is that it does org-mode hie

As someone who is 48 and could stand to do a bit more of this myself; I find myself alarmed and shocked at the extent to which younger folks appear to have normalized "social fear." I remember being younger in college and me and f

Wild how far down I had to scroll to even see "cryptocurrency" mentioned. Normally, I'm not a fan of always relying on incentives, but you can't begin to tackle this problem without understanding, and being grossly ope

Current thought, for me there's a lot of hand-wringing about what is "reasoning" and what isn't. But right now perhaps the question might be boiled down to -- "is the bottleneck merely hard drive space/memory&

I mean, that's subjective. Kinda feels like uploading a picture of my bathroom/medicine cabinet. There's nothing in there particularly incriminating or whatever. Just kinda feels weird.

So, question -- does the author know that this post is merely about "what is widely known about" vs. "what is actually possible?" Which is to say -- if one is in the business or activity of "making AI images go a ce

Am I the only one that just hates push to start in every way? Sure, I don't need to have the "insert key and crank" to be real, but physical key seems so superior. Feels like getting rid of the light switches in your hous

RIGHT? I could MAYBE see it if you were sharing your things on your personal blog -- but "github dotfile repos" feels wildly icky to me.
