> It wasn't AI generated. You're lying: https://www.pangram.com/history/94678f26-4898-496f-9559-8c4c... Not that I needed pangram to tell me that, it's obvious slop.

I bet some guy just told Claude Code to archive all of LWN for him on a whim.

My crackpot theory is that what stops newcomers is how unergonomic "(" and ")" are to type on typical keyboards. If mainstream lisp dialects used square brackets instead, we'd all …

One does not "simply" use Emacs.

I do, for over a decade. Hope it doesn't die. Can't fathom how people live with these tiny qwerty keyboards on a touchscreen.

Still, most people who have a crypto wallet on their desktop computer don't get hacked. I always found this interesting because it puts an upper bound to how many machines out ther…

Reading these wikis makes me feel we need to invent some visual convention to indicate AI-generated text. Like a particular color or font. This would make it so people don't feel c…

You sound like ChatGPT.

Looks like the Emacs developer community needs a Linus to talk some sense into these Mauros Referring of course to https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

> Microsoft should just buy Everything off Voidtools Don't give them ideas, they'd find some way to ruin it.

Errata: In the table under "How many bytes are in UTF-8?", bottom row, "10000" should be "100000".

I get "The model: `gpt-4-0314` does not exist".

I'm an emacs fan but there's no excuse. It's insane that an editor from the 1970's is perceptibly laggy on the latest Macbook Pro. This is a good article about the problem https://…

Surely at this point half the content on /pol/ is from professional propagandists and LLM-powered bots, trying to create the impression of a "4chan consensus" to sway anyone stupid…

How well can you use this as utility from your current shell, without replacing it? Something like "nu " to execute nu commands from inside bash?

Similarly, the best source for nutrition information used to be whfoods.org. Unfortunately it's been down for a while now, and while there are some imperfect archives, you can't ea…

A middle ground would be to offer public searchable logs, but strip the usernames. I would be fine with that.

Rather than a GPT-3 generated email, I would rather receive the prompt that the sender would have used to generate the email. We could even come up with a conventional shorthand fo…

ok gpt

> I seem to recall Dell saying that you should never store a suspended laptop in a laptop bag, because there are situations where it might wake up and overheat. Which is the stupid…

> they're often connecting from public IPs that are "suspicious" which causes automated systems to treat them more harshly. What's worse is that the the error messages never explai…

Depressing to think that, even if you find a way to make this work, it'll be deprecated in a few years as most distros move to Wayland. Then if you figure it out in Wayland, it'll …

The very fact that Emacs is so ancient makes me feel comfortable investing in it. If I extend and reconfigure it heavily, my setup will probably be usable for the rest of my life. …

This post is why I believe the Apple Magic Keyboard is actually the best gaming keyboard currently available. I noticed it when I tried gaming on traditional mechanical keyboard, a…
