I prefer the TUI in ghostty and even that’s just a stopgap until superlogical is out of alpha.
These days, I constantly find myself filled with a kind of techno-dysphoria, where not only do I not want to use the tech in the way it’s being packaged/sold, but I’m filled with dread and disgust by the idea of people…
> But.... That's not knowledge? Thank you! This is a huge sticking point for me. There is no knowing the code without experiencing the code. If nothing else, you have to read the tests to know they verify what you think…
This is a wildly online take. Humans highly value authenticity and many professional writers still write their first draft with a pen or pencil. David Foster Wallace famously described writing with a pen and paper…
I think devs and people on HN way overestimate how much the average person knows about or cares about or desires to interact with a computer. Whatever the job becomes, if you like talking to the computer and know how to…
The most passionate, intelligent people 1. aren’t spending a lot of time on smartphones, video games and crypto and 2. aren’t as much smarter or better at predicting the future as the barely above average people who…
It has been generally agreed since at least Plato that it’s up to people making a positive assertion to present evidence, not up to skeptics to prove it’s not possible. N.B. Russell’s Teapot Analogy. You have to prove…
I feel like the AI debate is our last best chance to agree that human values are more important and have higher long-term utility (to humans) than pure financial maximization. I think it’s very very likely that money…
I can’t tell if you’re defending this as good or just hypothesizing about the underlying cause but “appeal to nature” is one of the many freshman-level logical fallacies that seem ubiquitous in AI hype circles. Just…
The blasé attitude with which people talk about “moving up the stack” as if it’s a foregone conclusion that it’s the right thing to do or even an accurate description of what’s happening is easily one of the most…
Doesn’t that always seem to be the problem with the booster rhetoric. The upside is always somewhere in the hypothetical future while the downsides are already being acutely felt.
This is another case of anthropomorphic language for AI failing us. Who could be opposed to “learning?” If I learn from a textbook I stole, some people maybe be thrilled I learned something, but stealing is still a…
A defense of human code review I wish I saw more often, especially in light of the concerns people have about cognitive/comprehension debt: comprehension redundancy. At the end, if taken seriously, at least two people…
That’s a tragically sophomoric take. 'object a has property x' is too generic to be meaningful. “AI has the property of conscious” requires settling the small matter of what the properties of consciousness are. And…
> To make a statement like that in the opening lines as if its obvious seems genuinely presumptous. Then you must not be familiar with Bertrand Russell’s teapot analogy. The TL;DR is this: “Many orthodox people speak as…
Can you prove they are? I think “AIs are conscious” is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence. The burden is on the claimant to provide evidence it is conscious, and I suspect any evidence you can…
People use online dating because they feel like they have to, but most people hate it. So maybe the analogy is even better than stated.
Not the OC, but I’ve done something similar and it wasn’t permanent but it was effective short-term after listening. My idea was to match the pitch, turn up the volume until it was fairly loud, then shut off the sound,…
There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy born in smokey rooms for there to be a malignant culture of greed and moral bankruptcy. And it’s possible for one group or class to consolidate enough power to constitute an unfair…
If it were true
I’m just waiting for 0.13 so I can have Helix-like multicursor in Nvim, then I’ll never touch my config again.
I think I’m angry b/c I’m unsure but so many people are claiming to be sure without sufficient evidence.
It’s funny, I’m in a similar boat (omarchy at home, macOS at work) and recently spent a lot of time working out a system with SIP-enabled yabai for window management, kanata for the super key and other QMK-style…
Legitimately curious, are you using the 1.4 canary release in a production environment?
Not sure how well “new ambitious software” and “____ clone” go together there. Seems like even most critics would agree LLMs are capable of producing impressive-for-the-timescale clones of existing software, but is that…
