Make the phone half as thick, then double the battery and fill the rest with thermals.

Apple: Yes, yes, this innovation constitutes a $600 price increase.

Spacetop AR laptop / glasses (www.sightful.com)

Wired AR glasses / laptop geared for work. Seems like a cheaper, lighter alternative to apple’s Vision Pro. Looked it up after seeing a cybersecurity guy use it in that crazy documentary on the Ashley Madison hack and a few people post about it on LinkedIn...

SpaceOS is built for the modern Web, so anything you do on the Web, you can now do - in space.

AKA it’s a glorified Chromebook in terms of functionality. Not there yet…

I mean, I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. Trains don’t take me to my family across the planet in 11 hours. I’d prefer to feel secure when flying there.

My first thought exactly :P

The Earth is a sphere, which means there’s no easy way to project it onto a flat surface. One of the methods used to project the Earth’s surface on the map results in certain places (such as Greenland) to be stretched to huge sizes, sometimes appearing as big as Africa (look up “Mercator map”). The joke here is that while we expect him to make a comment about the map’s projection, he instead comments on how Greenland on the physical map is only a few inches, as opposed to its actual size.

So yeah, subverted expectations, peak Dad joke

Lazier way:

IIRC they’re paralyzed from the shoulders down, so probably not.

It’s still very impressive. The EEG she uses only reads general thoughts: e.g. thinking about pushing a boulder. She can only really do specific actions with that: there’s no level of analog control (how much should this move), it’s just a single action (fire a fireball). The brain chip is likely much higher fidelity and therefore can read much finer signals. All the credit goes to the researchers, of course, who’ve spent the last decade researching and fine tuning this technology.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/9 Ultra. Publically made fun of Apple’s notch, then released their tablets with a notch a few months later. (Although tbf nowhere near as pronounced as Apple’s and mostly justified due to the extremely thin bezels).

Whose firstborn child stubbed his toe on the rock well over 542 times, leading to the renaming of it to “Fuck Rock”.

This is mildly infuriating?

    For an artificial supreme intelligence, it sure does suck at spelling.

    Maybe I’m just lazy, I’ve only invested 10-15 hours total into my config.

    Once I got it working, I’ve never bothered to really even touch it. (I probably should, it’s most likely months of out of date…just like my NixOS config…)

    Next time I make changes will probably be when I update to 0.10 for inlay hints and set that up along with attempting to fix that error message that randomly pops up every time I start Neovim.

    Also probably not the typical Neovim config experience, but I’ve configured it enough to get of my way, now I just want to write code.

    I did this with many languages. Spoke Hindi, but convinced people I could speak the other related languages (Telegu, Marathi, etc.) by just saying random things in my little fake accent. Usually ended it with some small “sharp” words (like “tittu”, just sounds “sharp”) to really sell it.

    I mean, it will be. The AI friend is always available, always knows what to say, never fights with you, and never messes up (ideally).

    However, all those things are part of the human element: and at the end, you’re still talking to a computer. The AIs are just trying to please you. A person can actually love you, and that’s something else. And I’d take that over the perfect chatbot any day.

    relevant xkcd

    dukk ,

    I’ve got to know: where’s the video?

    dukk ,

    the xkcd

    You should try it. Quick and easy way to get some fresh air…

    Journalists use AI to write longer articles.
    People use AI to summarize those articles.

    The circle of LLMs.

    Over a year now, mine still hasn’t :)

    If someone had made the active choice to use Firefox, I think they’d notice if it was replaced by Edge…

    I mean, that randomness is just faked. Keep a consistent seed and you’ll get consistent results.

    Hey, Gerome.

    Some posts work, but you can limit your account visibility to logged in users.

    I mean, there’s probably some workaround involving faking the microphone, right?

    dukk ,

    I’d buy one if it were reasonably priced.

    This advice is so beautiful, it makes me want to jump off a bridge.

    dukk ,

    It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

    IDK about Wayland tho :/

    dukk ,

    LMDE and PopOS are my consistent recommendations to newcomers. If one doesn’t work, the other will.

    dukk ,

    Actually, they could probably collect a pretty substantial amount of data on you from just analyzing your garbage.

    dukk ,

    As stated clearly in the article, the term is not “popemobile”, but rather “undignified”.

    The way you work is largely a personal choice defined by personal preference. You may have found a better way to work, but I’m quite satisfied with the way I work.
