I will never get over the overuse of adjectives like "real" in LLM outputs, it dilutes the meaning of these words.

I'd love to see the results for the same process used on monospace fonts.
Re:Okay, I Like WezTerm on Monday August 12, 2024 @01:31PM (#41227089)
I can't provide you with numbers but back when I used Windows on my work machine, I recorded my screen + microphone input using OBS to compare they recorded keystroke sound and appearance of the character on my screen. I was able to confirm my suspicion in that WezTerm yielded higher input latency. This was especially noticeable when using helix inside of WSL - movement in normal mode would always sort of lag behind the keystrokes.

EDIT: Just installed in on my Mac and here, I can't notice any difference between kitty (my current input latency baseline) and WezTerm. Good stuff! Not sure how Windows fares nowadays, though.

Re:Okay, I Like WezTerm on Monday August 12, 2024 @10:18AM (#41224660)
I tried WezTerm on Windows because I was looking for a terminal with ligature support and lower input latency than Windows Terminal. Unfortunately, it still had higher input latency than cmd.exe. The only terminal with ligature support that comes close in terms of input latency is contour (https://contour-terminal.org/).

This must be new, right? I noticed this too and to be honest, it immediately improved my search experience, which had gotten very bad.

It would've been nice to see why a particular book was included in the list. I certainly don't agree with the addition of Clean Code, but I may be missing something, hence my wish.

How do you know it's misinformation if you need a decomposition of the proposed policy itself?

He comments on papers of various CS topics.

Assuming you mean the Hieber in Weil am Rhein, they really do offer a superb shopping experience, but it's vastly above the standard. I wish more supermarkets would adopt the self-scanning devices, it's perfect when buying single-digit items.

You saying this made me realize that buying an inkjet printer is akin to buying a phone with a contract - crazy.

I don't understand why anyone would expect otherwise? This is as close to the university experience as it can get.

Re:Chrome “clear cookies on exit” feature does not work on Sunday March 24, 2019 @07:25AM (#19475714)
I can imagine that multiple tabs/windows don't share the same address space, so in case of opening the same website on another browser instance, saving to disk would make sure that the cookie is exposed to other running processes as well.

Cool idea, definitely worth exploring the possibilities. A quick run showed me that it often interprets the "i" as "l" whenever the the gap between the line and dot is not apparant
