I bet some guy just told Claude Code to archive all of LWN for him on a whim.
My crackpot theory is that what stops newcomers is how unergonomic "(" and ")" are to type on typical keyboards. If mainstream lisp dialects used square brackets instead, we'd all be programming in it!
One does not "simply" use Emacs.
I do, for over a decade. Hope it doesn't die. Can't fathom how people live with these tiny qwerty keyboards on a touchscreen.
Still, most people who have a crypto wallet on their desktop computer don't get hacked. I always found this interesting because it puts an upper bound to how many machines out there are compromised (at least by an…
Reading these wikis makes me feel we need to invent some visual convention to indicate AI-generated text. Like a particular color or font. This would make it so people don't feel cheated after they realize they just…
You sound like ChatGPT.
Looks like the Emacs developer community needs a Linus to talk some sense into these Mauros Referring of course to https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

Errata: In the table under "How many bytes are in UTF-8?", bottom row, "10000" should be "100000".
I get "The model: `gpt-4-0314` does not exist".
I'm an emacs fan but there's no excuse. It's insane that an editor from the 1970's is perceptibly laggy on the latest Macbook Pro. This is a good article about the problem…
Surely at this point half the content on /pol/ is from professional propagandists and LLM-powered bots, trying to create the impression of a "4chan consensus" to sway anyone stupid enough to be taken in by that.
How well can you use this as utility from your current shell, without replacing it? Something like "nu <command>" to execute nu commands from inside bash?
Similarly, the best source for nutrition information used to be whfoods.org. Unfortunately it's been down for a while now, and while there are some imperfect archives, you can't easily search through the site anymore.
A middle ground would be to offer public searchable logs, but strip the usernames. I would be fine with that.
Rather than a GPT-3 generated email, I would rather receive the prompt that the sender would have used to generate the email. We could even come up with a conventional shorthand for this. Imagine you send me a message…

Depressing to think that, even if you find a way to make this work, it'll be deprecated in a few years as most distros move to Wayland. Then if you figure it out in Wayland, it'll probably break again when they come up…
The very fact that Emacs is so ancient makes me feel comfortable investing in it. If I extend and reconfigure it heavily, my setup will probably be usable for the rest of my life. Emacs will always be around. Meanwhile,…
