I think it depends on your priorities and needs. I just booked a round trip for myself, plus two more flights for quicker hops while I'm away, and I didn't spend much time on it at all. I just looked at Google flights, picked the

by kelnos 8mo ago
To be fair, you can cancel flight reservations for a full refund within 24 hours, so if the LLM gets it wrong, you're not on the hook for anything. But in general I do agree: flight bookings are something I want to do myself, because e

I agree the portals thing is a horrid mess, but you don't need them to take a screenshot unless you're a sandboxed application. Which is probably a good thing. You can write a simple Wayland screenshot app with a few hundred line

> Window managers in general, xdotool, all kinds of input mapping and automation or the fact that you can write a screenshot tool in less than 500 LOC are only possible if you talk to X directly. Honestly I think this is a pretty fair

Then in that case, the point is moot, as a similar version of "no one" uses the X11 APIs directly anymore, either.

wayland.app just HTML-renders the contents of the specification XML files. If a compositor or client is not interpreting nullability the same way wayland.app says it should be interpreted, then that's a bug in the compositor or client

I'm not sure how you're going to get 10 SSDs to fit inside a laptop. And if you're not going to use a laptop, then you might as well get an expensive machine with plenty of RAM, no? Even with RAM prices as crazy as they are

Technically that's correct (which as we all know is the best kind of correct), but really, how many consumers are buying a high-end MacBook Pro with 48GB or more of RAM? That's a very small percentage of the population. In these

Why couldn't you take the same approach on Liunx, and load from SSD? I assumed the only reason this particular project wouldn't be usable on Linux is because it uses Metal...

Then "hand-written" is a bit of a weird thing to say, no? Unless Claude has grown hands.

I enjoy them because I have a reasonably beefy laptop (non-Mac, though, so I can't try out this particular project), and it's nice to see what you can do with laptops in this space. I think, though, maybe consider your biases? Wh

That's the thing: you can be a perfectly pleasant person to interact with, and people can genuinely enjoy interacting with you. But then you can start actively using your celebrity status to advocate for legally restricting the rights

I'm fine with people disagreeing with me. I'm not fine when that disagreement results in campaigning for legally restricting the rights of others. There's a huge difference. If every racist, homophobe, and transphobe (and o

This is a tough thing. I do believe in moral relativism to a large extent, but I also think there are some things that are really just objectively morally and ethically "right" or "wrong". Hating on LGBT folks and tryin

That's a little bit of a false dichotomy, though. I agree that it would be rare, even impossible, to find people who match every quality I imagined they had. But some of those failings are forgivable, others are not. Getting genuinely

My charitable interpretation is that it was political winds, but possibly not in the way you're implying. I do believe that Obama was 100% cool with gay marriage, but believed it was politically foolhardy to admit that publicly and in

Assuming this sort of phenomenon extends further than France, this quite well explains many of the misconceptions Europeans have about the US. Thinking WTR, Dallas, or TDoH are representative of American culture is... hilarious. But I guess

I had no idea he was in his 80s (older than my parents would be), and that he did Walker, Texas Ranger when he was in his 50s. The final episodes aired when he was 61! That's nuts. Not a fan of him in real life (based on how he portr

Sure, but there's a big difference between using nation-state resources like spy satellites, and using a public API exposed by a fitness app. Not everyone can use spy satellites, and even if we're only talking about nation-states,

My assumption is that the people he's working with today also would like to do some fraud, and are hoping he'll be better at it this time. And/or they're part of the Trump rich people's club. They all tend to stick

Probably. I'm from the US, and I know a few Dutch people, and I find their approach to direct negative feedback off-putting to the point of feeling rude, even when knowing what to expect from them. (I'm sure they find my communi

I'd love to say that I value directness, but I frankly just kinda don't, for the most part. I don't want people to overly obfuscate what they are saying or beat around the bush, but... I have feelings. Often my feelings are

It's weird, because I absolutely agree in principle, but 90% of my headphone use is wireless now. And I hate it: latency, glitches, randomly just deciding not to connect anymore, deciding to connect in the lower-quality headset mode wh
