    Anthropic Fable just deleted a .git folder of mine, what's next?

    Like every one else, I've been using Fable quit extensively the past few days. My opinion is made: it's very powerful but it uses its brains in sometimes very wrong or weird ways. …

    There was a thread recently on HN about Claude Shannon and how his papers were filled with clear descriptions and explanations. Then someone commented how they had found an elegant…

    I mean... I, for my own needs, which are rather simple, can replace Dropbox with rsync. That's one thing. But yes, it's an entirely different thing to consider you don't need, or w…

    That is fascinating how the more knowledge and reasoning we can get our hands on and actually produce, the higher the risk of us, as a species, to become actually much dumber. It's…

    I wouldn't show it as an alternative to Obsidian though. It shares MD files with it and both are supposedly about note taking ("supposedly" is for Obsidian, I haven't tried Files.m…

    tl;dr; > "What happened the last time that everything changed?" Honestly, I'm glad we hear more of the commoditization of AI, and I hope that the comparison of AI with water or ele…

    I tried NixOS and failed miserably. I've pointed at to the Fedora Atomic distros, which are also immutable, and apparently incomparably easier to setup. I'm tempted to give it a sh…
