I have never vibed with macOS's seemingly default mode of floating windows layered over one another like scattered paper on a desk (mimicking a desktop I suppose). Instead ive been using https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace for the past couple of years and just flicking around via hotkeys. Not perfect but much less friction for my use cases

Joseph Cheaney, whilst expensive, will save you £££ in the long run (and theyre a classy shoe)

I dont think this is the same. If you started referring to North America as a name for the USA then it would be equal

Not trying to be glib, but whats the alternative other than suicide? Keep trying things you know havent worked?

This seems a bit reductive. You could use this argument for any small town

Reading this hurts. I'm on £26 a month for a gigabit connection in Z4.

As someone that fits some of the above categories, I think you really have to step back and repeatedly tell yourself "get over it". Its the same mentality to "I dont want to go to the gym today". You immediately feel better as soon as youve finished it and wonder why you always drag your feet before.

Ive been using nix-darwin for over a year now after using nixos with flakes for a bit. I now have a singular repo with multiple machine configurations. Nixos for my home server, nix darwin on a macbook air and a nix darwin with a work config. This allows me to have common programs on all machines but also overlay some specialised packages and programs in certain environments. After climbing the initial mountain, its been very satisfying and things just work. My work laptop died recently and I was able to be fully up to speed in a fraction of the time it would have taken me otherwise.

The top 1% arent the problem. The top <=0.001% are the problem.

One thing im wondering with the LLM age we seem to be entering: is there value in picking up a language like this if theres not going to be a corpus of training data for an LLM to learn from? Id like to invest the time to learn Gleam, but I treat a language as a tool, or a means to an end. I feel like more and more I'm reaching for the tool to get the job done most easily, which are languages that LLMs seem to gel with.

> A failing company may still be right in identifying other companies failure modes.

Agreed if this is what they are doing, but what if theyre spewing claims to try and discredit an industry in order to quell their shareholder concerns?

Id argue its already even greater. The amount of botting and astroturfing happening now means that a good chunk of the content people are consuming on those social media sites is generated by LLMs. Social media is the vector, but its the content thats the virus and OpenAI et al control what that virus contains

Not in the UK

wouldnt this be the case for any vendor you choose?

I'd argue the presence of dictionaries proves the exact opposite. People realised there was an issue of talking past one another due to inexact definitions and then came to an agreement on those definitions, wrote them down and built a process of maintaining them.

In any case, even if there isnt a _single_ definition of a given subject, in order to have a discussion around a given area, both sides need to agree on some shared understanding to even begin to debate in good faith in the first place. It's precisely this lack of definition which causes a breakdown in conversation in a myriad of different areas. A recent obvious (morbid) example would be "genocide".

> But the word already means what we think it means.

But that word can mean different things to different people. With no definition, how can you even begin to have a discussion around something?

Yes. News should ideally report on the reality of the situation affecting a community of people at a given time

Im not sure if this is a comment generated by a bot, a troll or something else to try and generate disinformation or something. I've seen a few comments on this thread which seem out of line from the usual sort of good natured discourse seen on HN. Not sure if its this particular topic or a sign of the times.

Anyway, having had long covid myself for over 15 months, there are many, many people suffering with it, we are just discovering the tip of the iceberg

I use aerospace combined with karabiner, the latter of which allows me to set caps lock - a key I never really use, to meh & hyper. Worth checking out if youre missing a mod key

why are you stepping on them?

is this sarcasm? Teams is by far the worst ive used out of those mentioned

>1. There's this huge misconception that LLMs are literally just memorizing stuff and repeating patterns from their training data

For a lay person, what are they actually doing instead?

I cant help but feel this analogy misses the mark. With the information people are consuming being guided by algorithms, its extremely hard for people to realise theyre being herded towards a specific viewpoint these days. It kind of reminds me of one of those mirror houses at the fairground - its extremely hard to get the correct signal in all the noise. You are what you consume and if everything you consume is of a misguided point of view, very quickly you're sliding towards being assimilated into that point of view.

I could well be missing something obvious but it seems like the jump between 4 & 5 is much less than many will be anticipating

Is this advice also for mac users? If so, whats the benefit to using this over the built-in screenshot tool?

As a counter, I cant remember the last time I wasn't asked what milk I'd prefer. In fact, I now prefer oat milk in coffee to regular milk

Funnily enough, the startup delay of oh-my-zsh is exactly what prompted me to try out fish and eventually starship on top. I have not looked back as you say!

I was vegan for 3 years and never came across this ideology. Maybe you got caught in some weird algorithms or something

> "For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading"

Such a great point and one which I hadn't considered. With LLMs, we've flipped this equation, and it's having all sorts of weird consequences. Most obviously for me is how much more time I'm spending on code reviews. Its massively increased the importance of making the PR as digestible as possible for the reviewer, as now both author and reviewer are much closer to equal understanding of the changes compared to if the author had written the PR solely by themselves. Who knows what other corollaries there are to this reversal of reading vs writing

whats veganism got to do with comitting suicide?
