No, might as well not try it.

Please review my post history on why, the most upvoted is perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40038893

No, this did not force you to use AI.

People have been coding without using hands thanks to voice recognition for quite some time. https://youtu.be/8SkdfdXWYaI

I will spare all my usual critique of AI because dang wants to ban me whenever I do. It doesn't mean all that doesn't stand.

Yup, had a Matias Ergo Pro and it always broke. I had piles of broken Matias halves. However, since it used standard tripod screws on the bottom to attach the palm rest I was able to hack it to be vertical which was just glorious. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79810.0 I used a Kinesis Freestyle before that and Ascent accessory which allows for 90 degree tenting is steel and 4lbs, not great for travel. I just checked, it's also over 220 dollars. Not great. The setup I linked to above would be the ideal vertical travel keyboard if Matias could make a reliable keyboard but they can't. I am out of ideas currently.

Nope, they can't, either the GDS allows booking it in which case it's already possible or the GDS doesn't allow booking it and then no app can do it. There are plenty services already which allows you to book the craziest itineraries. Like, ITA Matrix Powertools can construct a clickable link into Orbitz from ITA Matrix searches and it doesn't get crazier than that. There's Bookwithmatrix too.

So people can literally boil the earth with this garbage and that gets boosted on this site but you want to ban me because I dared to be snarky over it, did I get this right? Snarky is the very least we can do. I haven't even started calling them a blight on humanity.

What about leading for once and banning all LLM from the site?

I stand by everything you linked: all crypto"currencies" are scams, JavaScript is garbage, "rugged individualism" defines American people and we could call that selfishness, we can not be tolerant of other people's own definitions of words especially when those definitions deny someone's existence, AI art is stolen art, AI can only be used to generate bullshit, AI is adding to the climate suicide mankind is committing.

Go ahead and ban me if you want to, the truth hurts, I guess.

> It works well, but honestly a paper notebook would work nearly as well.

When I went to university I used a Crosspad. It's been a quarter century and as your comment shows for actual use that's still fine. To recap, you are writing on paper mounted on an electronic pad with a special pen which radios in your position and the device records vector strokes you later can download for reading / editing. It wasn't a success because it was early and the software wasn't great and also because you needed to put in the work after class to somehow tag your notes for later searching.

As long as handwriting OCR is as unreliable as it is, I fail to see what adding a screen -- with its additional cost and weight -- to this setup brings. And indeed your comment shows: nothing.

Install this on production to almost guarantee to hear from the author in his official capacity :P

Re sub processes, genuinely curious, how do

   [[ $cmdline ]] && exec {cmdline}>&-

and

  exec {cmdline}< "$dir"/cmdline || continue

work?

yes yes more people should know about Tierra, it's mind blowing.

> I doubt they would claim to solve the problem if they provided half of the answer.

This falls under extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and we have seen nothing of the sort.

At least for the next 2500 presidential cycles or so the chances of the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupting is considered quite low. We have some understanding of the physics involved, there's not enough lava and magma in the chambers currently for such an eruption. Even if a previously unseen phenomenon started to rapidly fill those, rapidly on a geological scale is still measured in thousands of years.

Also, similar things like "the Big One is due in the Northwest" are just sensational headlines. The Cascadia Subduction Zone indeed produces earthquakes every 3-500 years and the last one was in 1700 but that doesn't mean there's an equivalent of a hourglass. It just means there's a historical average of that.

And it's the concern of FEMA to act after something like this happens, not a matter of national security. National security concern, I imagine, would involve defusing these via some military ways and defusing such events are far beyond the capability of humankind at this time.

A total ban on generative AI is the way forward. If the industry refuses to make it safe by self regulating then the regulator must step in and ban it until better, more fine tuned regulation can be made. It is needed to protect our environment, our democracy, our very lives.

"people in a LCoL area may be happy to take a lower wage than a HCoL person, they would not feel exploited due to that."

good to know

Not Ryanair, no. Wizz Air got semi-recently hooked into the GDS systems but Ryanair no.

> Why is it almost always cheaper to buy through some weird 3rd party than with the airline directly?

> sometimes it's over $50 cheaper

$ tells me you are in the US where these kind of legacy shenanigans happen. Never with Ryanair.

I refuse the framing of tech bros exploiting African workers as "Much ballyhooing about neo-colonialism".

I named the DMCA because that was likely to be most recognizable by our most esteemed readers but fine I will elaborate how this shit is everywhere.

In December 1996, the World Intellectual Property Organization adopted the WIPO Copyright Treaty which is principally aimed at adapting the legal paradigm of copyrights to new technology. Article 11 of the WCT obligates “contracting parties to provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures that are used by authors in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Treaty or the Berne Convention and that restrict acts, in respect of their works, which are not authorized by the authors concerned or permitted by law.”

What's even worse that this asshole was legally correct, of course he was, one of the bad laws is the passage of DMCA which bans circumventing digital protections. That's how you get bullshit like DVD Jon who was accused of trespassing on his own computer.

> Prolog is not suitable for any problem domain, although this is more readily apparent for some domains than others.

Fuckin' A.

Cool visualization, perhaps interesting thoughts but alas it is completely worthless as it is AI analysis based. I wish the author warned about that on top instead of the bottom so I didn't waste my time with it.

I never understood the point. Really don't. GraphQL does not provide any built-in mechanisms for filtering, sorting, pagination or other arbitrary transformations of the response. If you are already built those then might as well just include the data necessary and use a REST API.

Sue over what...?

This has been the way for Drupal since ... 2005 at least. My memory becomes fuzzy before that. Since 2015 it's highly automated too thanks to Twig autoescape.

Is the code available by chance?

See you on the shore next Friday :)

How is durability? I use a Pixel 4 in https://ghostek.com/products/atomic-slim-pixel-4-series which is very nice because the bumper frame rises above the screen so when you drop it the screen doesn't break. Yet, it's not obnoxiously huge. I love this setup -- except for the Pixel 4 abysmal battery life.

yeah that bellingcat affair recently was really something

I am sorry but this is not true, the Danger Hiptop also known as T-Mobile Sidekick series was incredibly popular in the US starting with the color version in 2003. By any definition it was a smartphone. (Also, Android is direct successor to it as Andy Rubin left Danger to start Android.)

Things are progressing just as https://youtu.be/xoVJKj8lcNQ predicted.

> so 2024 will be the last human election and what we mean by that is not that it's just going to be an AI running as president in 2028 but that will really be although maybe um it will be you know humans as figureheads but it'll be Whoever greater compute power will win

We saw already AI voices influencing elections in India https://restofworld.org/2023/ai-voice-modi-singing-politics/

> AI-generated songs, like the ones featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, are gaining traction ahead of India’s upcoming elections. [...] Earlier this month, an Instagram video of Modi “singing” a Telugu love song had over 2 million views, while a similar Tamil-language song had more than 2.7 million. A Punjabi song racked up more than 17 million views.
