    I think Meta would love nothing more than to throw a very large wrench into the works of OpenAI/Anthropic. Open models could mean one or both go bankrupt which is good for them. Nv…

    So cool to get the background story on this. I remember adding the Japanese keyboard here in the US just so I could get access to emojis.

    Because it will go out today anyway on the investor call or later via leak so might as well get ahead of it.

    Ah damn this brings back memories… shout out if you were on #windows98, #windows2000 or #windowsxp on EFnet circa 97-01.

    Really cool. Only bug I noticed was that the command line output doesn’t scroll. This was on my iPhone with the keyboard up as I was typing commands and press return.

    Nice but does it really have to look like the Windows version? Can’t we imagine and have better things?

    It matters because it’s the main reason why the US is able to borrow money so cheaply and why the US doesn’t get a junk bond rating.

    I loved Windows 2000 so much. I was a beta tester back then and they sent me a copy in the end. Was very cool for me as a broke high school student.

    All this costs money though and the eventual question is if you aren’t paying for it then who is?

    I guess what this blog post is about is that it only works if you have the ability to instinctively tell who those people are. Steve did and I know a few other people personally wh…

    There is general wisdom about bash pipelines here that I think most people will miss simply because of the title. Interesting though, my mental model of bash piping was wrong too.

    Well I think the problem is with how to interpret that word. The potential is there because these exoplanets are in the habitable zone near their respective stars. That’s the headl…

    What exactly is unclear about the title? “New exoplanets identified that could potentially harbor life” The word “potentially” setup my expectations perfectly.

    So Beeper is piggybacking off Apple’s servers that facilitate iMessages and is charging $1.99 per month to users and they thought Apple would be okay with this?
