Is it possible to swap batteries on the go? That'd be killer.

I only replaced my phone this year (S7 edge) because the battery was depleting too fast.

> Though screwing over the mental health of an entire generation over it might defeat the purpose of "saving the world" or "saving humanity".

I don't take issue with that position, although I disagree. I'd say it is worth it.

However, we should consider that the effect of climate change on "the mental health of an entire genration" is perhaps not greater than the effect of e.g., WWI, WWII, or the Cold War. Imagine living under the constant threat of nuclear war.

The thing with dynamical systems, and specially complex systems, is that things very complicated, very fast. Evidently things are complicated to reason about, so the severity of climate change is not obvious. So your questioning is completely natural.

There are intuitive one-minute explanations for why climate change is real and important. However, I think that due to the complex nature of the topic a full answer requires deep study.

Thus, I think it is reasonable to rely on the decades of evidence and science that have led to a concensus among the people that spend their entire lifes studying the topic.

Long time Joplin user. I LOVE Joplin. Got it synched with Dropbox. Several people have asked me what app I use when they see it. It's just what a note app should be: simple, cross-platform, markdown-based, can export notes.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

You might like Joplin's approach. It's exactly what you described: you can toggle WYIWYG and plain text.

Why not improve the linux client instead?

Thanks for the heads up, I was about to try it.

Let us not forget history. Generative AI (informally defined as "algorithmic generation of stuff" for the sake of argument) has been around for more than 40 years. For example,

And of course, other forms of generative AI exist.

I really like cryptpad. Thank you for developing it.

I have used it a few times in a professional setting even when there is no need for end-to-end encryption, and it is a good experience so far.

I encourage others to try it .

> doesn't worry about abstraction > The object code is being edited directly; aoy source code is long gone

I was under the impression that there is in fact some abstraction in DNA and RNA. For instance genes, which can be thought of as code that generates proteins (thus, some form of abstraction).

This is interesting. I wonder if channels like Adam Neely, Rick Beato, Two Set, etc., are essentially teaching people how to appreciate music.

> I think a lot of humans might make the same mistakes

Indeed, it seems ChatGPT is not that much of an improvement over the current state of affairs. At least not in the realm of science journalism.

There have been strong deep-learning contributions to control, but I wouldn't say control is dominated by deep learning at this point. For instance, take a look at ICRA 2022 awards for "Outstanding Dynamics and Control" and "Outstanding Locomotion".

As far as I know, the field of robotics sees plenty of innovation with no deep learning involved.

Whether you count robotics as AI is up to debate, I suppose

I have not felt like getting the Dock, since the experience has been great out of the box. Maybe if I didn't own a PS5 I'd get the Dock for couch gaming. But some 3D games might suffer in 1080p output.

The controls are obviously perfect for games that support gamepads (which is a surprisingly substantial fraction), but even some keyboard and mouse-games can be played, specially those that do not require super fast reaction times and a million keybindings.

My experience has been very console like, in that every game I've downloaded just works. 99% of the time there is no fiddling with graphic or control settings, no nothing. Just hit download, launch the game, have fun.

Ocasionally you get a glimpse of the underlying PC-nature of the thing. Once I had to choose one of the community-provided control schemes for a mouse-heavy tabletop game (so even then, pretty straightforward).

One of the best purchases I've made. It's so much fun being able to squeeze a few gaming sessions here and there, without having to be in front of a TV.

It's not perfect. Maybe the battery could last a bit longer. Maybe it could be a bit more powerful. But who cares? It's a blast.

I'm curious on why you think this. I really would buy one as my next phone.

I disagree with this reasoning on the grounds that quality (however that may be defined) is only one of many factors that influence Linux distro popularity.

FWIW, my unrequested opinion, is that I largely agree that Pop!_OS is one of, if not the, best consumer distros.

I wanted to experiment writing code in a REPL session with only prompting, so I put together this demo.

Check it out if you find the idea of programming through prompting interesting.

I wrote a related tool on Python, check it out if you're interested:

Also, what a coincidence, I just started working on it yesterday.

I also have a mid-tier moto phone, unlocked. If I root, do I receive OTA updates?

I've been missing AdAway in root mode, so I was wondering.

"AI people" do understand that LLMs "hallucinate" by design. Rather, critics see hallucinations as a problem for applications that inherently require factual accuracy (e.g. Galactica should not hallucinate; summarization should be factual, etc.).

Indeed, one could make the case that LLMs are fundamentally unsuited for many of the tasks they are currently being marketed for.

I agree with the spirit of this take. Of course they should have.

We should structure society so that the average person has agency at the workplace, and not just blindly abides by the decisions and orders of the board of directors.

If democracy were to expand to the workplace, perhaps we would be in a better position to avoid the situations that lead to the situation described by the OP.

You might want to check the helix editor. It has LSP support out of the box.

You might be wrong: it could be that the increase in productivity lowers cost and in turn increases demand. See Jevon's Paradox.

> Most of human civilization has been a pattern of small communities where everyone knew everyone. The privacy granted implicitly by anonymity is relatively new

I find that hard to believe. Teotihuacan (first example that came to mind) already had 100,000+ inhabitants around 1 to 500 CE, and according to Wikipedia it was only the sixth largest city.

Regardless, I don't see why it's particularly important what cities were like during "most of human civilization" when discussing electronic suirveilance.

> You don't need more tools, you need fewer.

Fully agree with this.

For me, it has also been important to keep the workflow and tools that I do use as streamlined as possible (KISS), so as to stay "in the zone" as long as possible.

For instance, if I will write some code, I don't need bells and whistles, I only need LSP support, split screen and the ability to change files in a split second with a few keypresses. Likewise, to version-control code I need a tool that let's me do that and just that.

And so on.

So I find myself most productive when living in the terminal using things like tmux and vim.

I do not see it listed in the article, but I fully recommend Organic Maps on Android. I've used it both in cities and while hiking. Sometimes I even find myself opening Organic rather than Google Maps just because it loads so fast.
