It looks like it was. Ghostbuster.app reports 93% probability and gptzero.me reports 100%. I was pleasantly surprised that the message started empathetically because none of the other responses did. But it makes more sense now, an LLM would

If you're using bash, you can edit long commands by hitting C-x C-e. This will open an editor with the command in the buffer. When you save and exit, bash will execute the edited command. This is not in the style of `transient` in Emac

This bit about GPL vs. BSD is interesting: The GNU General Public License that would create additional legal complications for Beckhoff’s customers as well as force Beckhoff to share their proprietary real-time, TwinCAT, which runs in k

Firefox on FreeBSD is a hack layered over a hack running slowly. I have no idea how much work is required to support it, but it’s somewhere between “big” and “have mercy”. Might someone be able to summarize what kinds of hacks Firef

Are you running it via Xwayland? If you compile Emacs with ./configure --with-pgtk, the blurriness disappears. It’s a fractional scaling thing that does not interoperate well with X stuff.

I use Org but markdown-mode can hide subsections too: markdown-mode supports outline-minor-mode as well as org-mode-style visibility cycling for atx- or hash-style headings. There are two types of visibility cycling: Pressing S-TAB cycl

Emacs is not TUI. Its main frontend is GUI, you can display images, play videos, read PDFs in it if you want to.

But the LLM predicts the output based on some notion of a likelihood so it could in principle signal if the likelihood of the returned token sequence is low, couldn’t it? Or do you mean that fine-tuning distorts these likelihoods so models

I don’t know how I never heard about CheckInstall! This is great. Can Nix do what CheckInstall does, or do you need to manually build a Nix package for the program version that you want to install?
