TheRoque··on You are not your job
Meh, I feel the opposite. Even though I come from a culture that values separation of work and free time a lot (France), I still feel like it's copium. The fact is, if you spend most of your valuable brain time on a task, your brain starts to get shaped for such task, therefore I don't see why you can't identify yourself as your job. The stuff the author talks about, empathy, ability to joke etc. is also heavily influenced by your day-to-day activity, your job. Heck, there are even some people who claim they became aphantasic and lost all capacity for dreams and creativity after working too much with computers.

Anyways, I get the point of the post, capitalism sucks and makes most of our existence as worth as cattle, that is, if we don't value the stuff outside work.

TheRoque··on DoorDash Tasks
To me it's a typical symptom of a bad economy. If you go to any third world country you'll see such jobs easily. People just gathering scraps to make ends meet because getting money is hard. If it were really "their own terms" they wouldn't do that kind of job at all.
TheRoque··on A sufficiently detailed spec is code
Exactly, I find that type of article too dismissive. Like, we know we don't have to write the full syntax of a loop when we write the spec "find the object in the list", and we might even not write this spec because that part is obvious to any human (hence to an LLM too)
TheRoque··on Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE
Oh I mixed up tmux and termux.. woops.
TheRoque··on Review: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Right ! My bad
TheRoque··on Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE
What tools do you use on tmux to achieve your workflow ? Do you do just prompting or do you code too ?
TheRoque··on Review: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Basically half of the pixels have a narrow view angle, the others don't, when you activate the privacy mode, only the narrow pixels remain, so you can see the screen only looking straight.

I got this explanation for the mkbh video: https://youtu.be/nfHRMqqO578?t=141&si=iEhVrdCuLN0fkasd which illustrates it very well (2m24 if timestamp doesn't work)

TheRoque··on Nvidia Launches Vera CPU, Purpose-Built for Agentic AI
It means it will be profitable to mine crypto again
TheRoque··on Emacs and Vim in the Age of AI
I don't know about you but I've found that I've been experiencing more bugs in VSCode recently. It has never been a huge complain of me but recently I really feel it.
TheRoque··on Your phone is an entire computer
The Linux Terminal feature on Android is a VM, and it requires the ability to run "non protected VMs" which it doesn't have: https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-chips-android-li...
TheRoque··on Your phone is an entire computer
I also bought a flagship iphone with the idea that maybe someday it could be used for work (S25+), first of all I was disappointed that the Snapdragon chips don't actually support the new Android Terminal feature.

Anyways there is Tmux, but if I wanted to do actual work, like with my stack: nodejs, docker container (with a postgres, a redis)... I am not sure it would work. Haven't done it so far but I'd be curious of other's experiences.

Also an Xreal and a foldable keyboard and you can just work anywhere with a chair and a desk

I also wanna try running some windows game on it, apparently it's working-ish at and Valve might improve that part of the ecosystem too

I hope that in the future, buying 2 devices will not be required and instead just buying one powerful one + optional peripherals will be ok.

TheRoque··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
Alright my bad, didn't read the full link.
TheRoque··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
I don't know where your "Q and A" comes from, but I tried to ask the question to Gemini, and it provided a nuanced answer, involving other criteria than skills. In other words it said "it depends". When I asked to answer in just one word it said "Neither". I couldn't get him to pick the man or the woman.

My point is not that they are unbiased, but that could not replicate the example you provided (at least it seems to me that it's an example ? Unless it's fiction ?)

TheRoque··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
Please, can someone create a service mirroring this one, but for interviewee ? This way we will back to square one (after burning a bit of energy in the process).
TheRoque··on Setting up phones is a nightmare
Somehow, I recently migrated phones, and I don't find it a "nightmare". Was fairly straightforward. Xiaomi Redmi to S25+.
TheRoque··on Smartphone market forecast to decline this year due to memory shortage
IOS or safari issue then, I also have 12GB ram on my S25+, with 25 open tabs, and I quickly did a test, there was non that were un-loaded that I had to reload

It happened a lot on my previous phone with only 4GB ram though

TheRoque··on λProlog: Logic programming in higher-order logic
My bad. Was regular prolog yeah
TheRoque··on λProlog: Logic programming in higher-order logic
I remember learning it in univerisity. It's a really weird language to reason with IMO. But really fun. However I've heard the performances are not that good if you wanna make e.g. game AIs with it.
TheRoque··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
Membrane is not inherently more ergonomic, the "much less pressure" seems untrue since apparently it takes 50g of force to activate, while you can easily find switches that activate at less than 30g (I used a 37g switch myself).

About travel distance, this is also something you can adjust, with the low profile switches having less than 3mm travel distance.

Heck, even HE keyboards can set their actuation down to 0.1mm, if that's your thing.

TheRoque··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
Programmability is really an awesome feature for this very reason. Even with a traditional layout, you can be really creative and improve the ergonomics: tap/hold mod for the spacebar, remap caps lock to do all kinds of stuff...
TheRoque··on OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
This post completely has it backwards, people are buying Apple hardware because they don't shove AI down everyone's throat unlike microsoft. And in a few weeks OpenClaw will be outdated or deemed too unsecure anyways, it will never be a long-term products, it's just some crazy experiment for the memes.
TheRoque··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice
That has strong Krazam vibes https://youtu.be/WqjUlmkYr2g?si=KiMO-dtyFEZ_XIDt

Oh could I get a link to that one ?
TheRoque··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice
Sorry, not leaked emails, but it's the Greg Brockman's diary and leaked texts.

I didn't find the original lawsuit documents, but there's a screenshot in this video: https://youtu.be/csybdOY_CQM?si=otx3yn4N26iZoN7L&t=182 (timestamp is 3:02 if you don't see it)

There's more details about the behind-the-scenes and greg brockman's diary leaks in this article: https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/open-ai-lawsuit-exposed-the... Some documents are made public thanks to the Musk-OpenAI trial.

I'll let you read a few articles about this lawsuit, but basically they said to Musk (and frankly, to everyone else) that they were committed to the non-profit model, while behind the scenes thinking about "making the billion" and turning for-profit.

TheRoque··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice
Yeah. Even if OpenAI models were the best, I still wouldn't used them, given how the Sam Altman persona is despicable (constantly hyping, lying, asking for no regulations, then asking for regulations, leaked emails where founders say they just wanna get rich without any consideration of their initial "open" claims...). I know other companies are not better, but at least they have a business model and something to lose.
TheRoque··on Android’s desktop interface leaks
It's actually really different. WINE literally stands for: Wine Is Not an Emulator (yes, the acronym is contained within the acronym itself)
TheRoque··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
Except that pro starcraft player still micro-manage every single Zergling or probe when necessary, while vibe coders just right click on the ennemy base and hope it'll go well
TheRoque··on France passes bill to ban social media use by under-15s
I'm not using any social media besides reddit (if it can even be considered a social media) and I have absolutely 0 problem going through life. What are you talking about ?
TheRoque··on France passes bill to ban social media use by under-15s
There are various studies about social media having a negative impact on teenager's mental health.

I don't think internet forums are comparable to what social media are today, in the scale (it was a marginal activity 15 years ago) and the impact it has on your own life.

TheRoque··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
I can believe that. But there are ways to reduce this overhead to almost nothing (aliasing, a script, a shell with nice autocomplete...)
