I have a wireless doorbell with a speaker that plugs in to an outlet.

I’d much like to replace it with a zigbee-button, but I’ve had issues finding a foolproof (wife-approved) zigbee thing to make the ding-dong-noise.

This was great at first, but ten years in their hearing has gone. They’ll sleep through me yelling at the top of my lungs now.

I don’t even want pervert glasses. I barely even take pictures with my phone.

What I really want is that projection from those O.G. Google glass that projected image straight in your eye. Then I could watch porn all day every day everywhere.

I don’t like to spend my days on reddit, so I have my Hermes agent scrape the subreddits I want news from to get a digest. Today it started failing. So my Hermes agent got the credentials to a throwaway and carried on like usual.

Your data is living on borrowed time as it is if you don’t have it backed up already.

I didn’t say it’s more token efficient. I said training multiple languages improves reasoning.

It’s beneficial for reasoning to have models trained in a few languages. Chinese is a good one because one character is one word is one token.

The touchpad on my late 2015 15" MBP stopped clicking because of a pillow that eventually bent the whole top chassis.

Any battery will pillow up if you run it hot and overcharged 24/7.

When the internet was new, hip and cool in 1997 it was the best way for a poor student to really get knees deep into networking and hosting. I just haven’t seen much reason to try anything else.

I did use OS X for work when doing iOS development a few years.

And in a perfect world I’d rather run a UNIX certified operating system. Linux support is just so good at the moment that I can’t really be bothered.

You can use it all day and stay well below the quota. Small context, with the right model for the job. Surgical precision.

But… At some point you shut off your brain, use the most expensive model on the highest reasoning level with your whole codebase as context and just wait for tens of minutes while it burns all the tokens. To speed this up you then send six agents to tackle the same problem from all angles.

I’m surprised to see comments of people actually using it. I know it’s been topping distrowatch forever by inflation numbers.

There’s an infamous usenet-thread with Torvalds and Tanenbaum arguing over monolithic vs microkernel design. I microkernel is cleaner from a separation standpoint, but that also introduces hurdles and overhead.

Linux is popular because the hardware support is pretty great. There’s few laptop/BSD combinations that work well with sleep/suspend/wifi, while just about any laptop will have everything working with a recent Linux kernel.

I think it’s spot on. Even if you use power tools you need to know what kind of screw goes where. But it sure goes a whole lot faster to use power tools.

Sounds to me from the article that this is a seasoned engineer who just doesn’t want to use the tools she’s being handed.

Remember back in the day when you’d see these little badges on websites saying Best viewed with Internet Explorer? And some sites just wouldn’t work right on other browsers?

Soon you went be using any of those shitty sites, either

No, I’d hire the one using power tools and PEX pipes. Not the one stuck in the 19th century.

If I was hiring for my hypothetical construction company I’d have a real easy time picking between an employee who gets the job done and one who refuses to use power tools.

Linux has extended quite a few system calls. Not really a problem as they mostly support the POSIX ways.

But there are a few corner cases around threading and file locks that do break on mainline Linux.

Not too big to overcome, as there are exceptions like EulerOS that are both compliant and certified.

Pros:

• I have the source. I don’t have to wait for fixes or features. I just do it myself and send a patch or PR upstream.
• I can run it on just about anything, and well.
• Sane defaults and handling of user permissions - by design
• Modern filesystems that don’t silently rot your data
• Full control
• No forced updates
• No telemetry

Cons:

• Not a priority for pro applications
• Not fully POSIX compliant

I haven’t used windows in almost 30 years, but… I probably missed some games at first that DOSBox couldn’t run well (yet). Not a problem any more.
