    I think open source will remain competitive among smaller players and adjacent industries wanting to avoid lock-in with the majors. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc are all out to wi…

    I think that's just a natural part of the times changing and generations having their own icons. In contrast to the shambling undead of Mickey Mouse and other eternally recycled fr…

    Not the OP, but I appreciated its attempts to declutter and rethink the layout. It encourages a full screen, minimalist style, and jumping between workspaces for different task set…

    I think your analogy makes the opposite case better. A Rolls-Royce and a Pinto have the same real commute time because horsepower isn't the bottleneck, and they both get passengers…

    The AHSTF performed poorly because successive Albertan provincial governments slashed contributions to it, not because of the ghost of the NEP. It was established in 1976, then con…

    Oh, that's promising, thanks! I've just been using the npm version.

    Dang, I thought this was going to be integration for Codex Cloud, not the (still not available for Linux) Codex App. Not even Codex CLI, alas. You can still access the Cloud option…

    I think it's going to effectively kill public chat communities without either proof of identity or attestation through a web of trust. Or rather turn them into little better than c…

    That's likely a factor but Deezer reports that's it's 28% of their ingest as of last September. Being a smaller target doesn't account for all of it, or that openly AI "artists" ar…

    I don't have a ton of hope just yet because I think it's still an incentives problem rather than a technical one. I got tired of the increasing AI slop in my YouTube Music feed and…

    I'm not about to put any money down - I lack that degree of confidence in my prognosticating - but I doubt the terminal will ever really vanish, for much the same reason that 20 ye…

    I think that's part of the way there, but I think you would need to go farther. The main failure state I anticipate is the appointment of a designated fall guy to be responsible. T…

    As already mentioned, this is the noun use but also different connotations. To my thinking, to orchestrate or steer suggests a conductor or driver, an outside entity providing dire…

    I can't offer an example of code, but considering researchers were able to cause models to reproduce literary works verbatim, it seems unlikely that a git repository would be mater…

    I think that becomes more common with income brackets that can start to feel like "enough". If you've spent time struggling to make ends meet, even median income can feel like prev…

    Put a different way, would you say Fiverr enables people to be more creative? Using AI to create an artistic work has more in common with commissioning art than creating it. Just i…

    I had the same association but interestingly this version appears to be a "remix" of TigerBeetle's style guide, by an unrelated individual. At a glance, there is a lot of a crossov…

    I keep a home server for exactly that reason but I still use cloud for some things to have an off site copy as well. There are some things I don't want to risk losing over burst pi…

    Nah. Actual engineers have professional standards bodies and legal liability when they shirk and the bridge falls down or the plane crashes or your wiring starts on fire. Software …

    Regarding the bookmarks bar, Settings / Appearance / Show Bookmarks Bar. If the setting is off, the bar only appears on new tabs. I found that by accident.

    The problem is when using a model hosted by those labs (ex: OpenAI only allowed access to o3 through their own direct API, not even Azure), there still exists a significant risk of…

    Mainly I don't think Proton is serious competitor here. I'm not sure there is much of a market demand for mediocre white labelled LLMs priced at a premium. I can see it carving a b…

    I've not gone looking for videos specifically, but my experience there is that Kagi seems to focus on what you've explicitly searched for, where Google and others have increasingly…

    I think there will be solutions, although I don't think getting there will be pretty. Google's case (and Meta and spam calls and others) is at least in part an incentives problem. …
