   It's that fast because it uses a declarative model and this ends up being very efficient for a variety of use-cases (I say this speaking from a NixOS laptop; Nix operations are invariably much faster than alternatives, like Docker, ass

   I've been using Claude and Codex and both are excellent; I imagine Gemini would be too. Likely Grok as well. They're all smart enough to be helpful at this point.

   I bought a Mac IIci computer in 1990 from my savings working throughout high school, for my freshman year of college. It cost over $8k, which in today's dollars is over $20k. So imagine my lack of sympathy when people complain about th

   What is demotivating people is negativist-framing-obsessed doomer assholes like you dooming and glooming all the possible negatives and absolutely none of the positives. There's no actual unmanageable bad things occurring, and a ton

   > it’ll be a world that’s completely different And this is all wild negative speculation by you. And if you deny that, you're lying. It may be different, but not unmanageably different.

    And yet it isn't mentioned enough how Adam deceived the LLM into believing they were talking about a story, not something real. This is like lying to another person and then blaming them when they rely on the notion you gave them to do

    1) I'm still on GNOME. What's the upgrade path to Wayland? 2) There's something like this for GNOME, albeit not as cool... and this may actually get me to finally install Wayland 3) since I'm on NixOS, if important thing

    NixOS will get you there (or anywhere, to any version, of any thing, and/or back again) just by pinning any conceivable package (and it has more than any other Linux distro) to a particular nixpkgs hash. I thought of this because it so

    I'll tell you what, it's a hell of a lot faster starting up than Bash is, but I hear you. You know what the new interesting hotness might be? Getting the LLM to write wasm (via wat, its textual analog), and running that with http

    There are languages that compile to Lua. Have you investigated those? For example, you can use a TypeScript syntax and pick up free typechecking along the way: https://typescripttolua.github.io/ There's also the venera
