This is why I think Apple's direction of building a neural engine into the M1 architecture is low-key brilliant. It's just there and part of their API; as AI capabilities increase and the developer landscape solidifies, they can

This is not an operating system, this is a UI, and as far as I can tell, a non-functioning demo at that. That's fine, great actually, but let's at least use the correct words. Purely aesthetically, this is great. It's incredi

Could not agree more. I'm re-reading Dune and in this age of emerging AI its focus on developing human potential in light of increased technological capability is striking me as ridiculously prescient. Offloading some parts of the huma

I think the entire concept of "non-techies" is condescending to the people you're referring to. Computers exist, the cat is out of the bag -- computer literacy is now simply a facet of literacy in general. I would much prefer

Yup, absolutely. Have worked in Hollywood and can corroborate largely the same. adam_arthur is living in a just-world Liberian dream world where markets are free and fair. They never are.

Because ChromeOS is nowhere near as useful as "real Linux."

I know this will never happen, but I wish that they would go even a step further than that: I wish they would admit that, for better or worse, Linux is the desktop to corral around. A proprietary OS for BYO hardware is very simply a Bad Ide

If you haven't found tiling window management that rivals or surpasses Windows in the Linux world, you really haven't looked very hard.

Depends on what I'm protecting from. The problem, though, is that loud-enough-to-cause-a-setback noises happen all the time. You of course won't notice if they don't cause you pain, but people yell, drop things, trucks clang

As the other person who replied to you noted, a converted-from-yaml file wherein the service is designed to use yaml, not toml, it hardly a good example of toml. Of course your example is bad. At least use a native toml file as an example

That's correct. You stop breathing and respond by clenching your jaw, resulting in TMJ.

Yes, arriving in a destination with zero clothes and spending all my time trying to get my stuff back instead of enjoying whatever I'm there to do is totally a great thing that I'd love to experience again because it might result

Whenever I've checked my luggage, it has more often than not been at least temporarily misplaced, if not permanently lost. I mean this literally -- more than 50% of the time, something has gone wrong. I know that I'm a data point

I have this, as well as multiple very loud permanent tinnitus tones. The latter sucks, but hyperacusis ruined my life, as well as stopping my career as a (I think it's fair to describe myself this way) promising film/video game co

I have mild sleep apnea due to TMJ and went through an odyssey trying out a mandibular adjustment device. It absolutely wrecked my jaw, made my TMJ far worse than it was prior to using it. It also did more than "screw with my teeth a

Absolutely agree. TOML is far and away the best for config files.

Strange, I have Siri completely disabled on Ventura and don't get a notification.

Absolutely spot on. A very good friend of mine went through a bootcamp and very much views himself as essentially “blue collar” —- do the job, go home. It’s for money, not passion, not at all. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, but wit

The benefit of Nix is that you declaratively configure everything in a single file. And there's no reason you couldn't wrap a GUI around that. In fact I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already.

Which causes the aforementioned ballooning storage issue.

I'm the sole developer at a non-tech company, and I have near-complete freedom because management is non-technical (and humble enough to admit that). I really, really enjoy my current job. Not saying that's the norm, of course -

This is similar to what I do, except my "new environment" alias executes a function that takes a python version, installed/specified via pyenv. Never had a single problem, venv + pyenv is a great combo. As far as I can tell,

What an absurd statement. I don't have especially strong feelings for Google in any direction, but I can't deny that, even if Google had only done search or Maps, that alone would be a massive boon for society.

I use w3m as often as I can. I already pretty much live in the command line, and text-heavy sites like HN or some sort of documentation look just fine (or, IMO, even better) via w3m. Not always, but often. It's a very nice option to ha

I guess I'm one of the few who doesn't. Discord, Slack, Spotify, etc -- they're all just bookmarks for me.
