The issue at hand isn’t people using AI to make some app that they and their mom will use. That’s awesome. It’s people who insist that potentially millions of other people should be affected by their vibe-coded stuff too, by upstreaming it

Are you using the 31 release or prerelease? The mode was changed to experimental right before release. Just FYI, I think the comment you replied to is by the author of the mode and an upstream Emacs contributor, so I would assume their inst

Well, yeah. I also wouldn’t like to explain to my family why my emoji is more important than being set for life.

Given that most measures of intelligence follow nearly normal distributions (as long as you stay away from the tails), I think it doesn’t matter that much.

Sounds better to do postprocess filtering explicitly? For example, adding random noise with amplitude 1/255 (which should be as invisible as the watermark), followed by a smart blur that blurs more in directions where the colors are mo

So any mail to anyrandomstring@yourdomain.com is actually received? Sounds like something that works great when only you do it, but might quickly be abused if it catches on?

Very exciting. Closed source was one of the main things making me not try it out yet. Any good resources for getting started? And anything on doing NumPy/SciPy-like stuff in it?

According to the rules, accepting or refusing cookies should be equally difficult. Making them both difficult makes people not use your site, so the incentive should be to make both options easy if you follow the rules. Malicious compliance

As a non-American, I don’t even understand today what that means. (And the website linked to isn’t loading, so I don’t have the context from that.)

I think you misunderstand my point. The ancestral post to this thread is pointing out that a normal worker in 1963 -- with probably just one income -- could support 5 children while owning 2 houses and 3 apartments. Then someone argues, mor

It really isn’t though. The median person in 1963 didn’t need say internet or computers or smartphones, because no one expected them to have one. Good luck even applying for a job today without at least a computer and internet, and possibly

Sounds very appealing. Anyone here have experience with it? If I want to try it, should I go print or digital? How is the writing compared to say The Economist or other more mainstream options?

Indeed, I did switch to a rubber-like PenTips nib after that, and it made the writing experience really silent. Unfortunately it also felt somehow clumsy to write with – worse than just plastic-on-glass writing. It’s hard to describe, but i

Interesting. I wonder what’s the difference in our usage, perhaps the amount of force we normally use when swiping and writing? Regarding noise, one of the main reasons I stopped using it was because my partner complained about the «scratc
