It may be inherent. Perhaps comparable to understanding/building a practical CPU.

Maybe balance that with also trying not to destroy things for future generations, or even just future decades, and appreciate the farsighted choices that were made in the past that we all benefit from currently, such as the global eradication of smallpox, national parks, etc.

I've used QuickTime for that, which has the expected menu items.

As long as we keep going back-and-forth and buying stuff, trying to figure it out, the economy will be in good shape.

Perhaps what you're getting at is that being a good writer is not all it takes to make a good [art/story/work...], but I'm not unconvinced that reading is the key for the writing part.

Also ncdu. And *top.

This is one of the better written things I have read online in a long time. The quality of the prose almost makes the subject irrelevant.

"hey LLM, I'm trying to learn about ___. I already know ___. My favorite authors are ___. Suggest some reading material."

"Consistent sensibility" is a tasty little phrase.

I think taste is developed from a combination of sensual attunement (clarity of perception and focus) and experience (exposure to relevant, high quality 'stuff'), but the catalyst is joy, or at least some kind of pleasure.

The other day, while reading, my AI-dar triggered on some typical claudisms, but then I remembered I was reading from a paper book that was printed in 1997...

Of course I agree and would do the same if I was buying ebooks from that company in the first place, but for every one of us, how many people will just go ahead and buy a new device?

Yeah this is bad news. A $1b+ campaign budget could pull some strings.

I think the chatgpt backend basically includes indexed web like Google, or any other search engine.

Could Google be actively trying skip generated-looking sites/content?

If you rephrase this as succinctly as you can you'll end up quoting the Dao de Jing.

US post colonial empire method was to create markets overseas, China was watching and learning!

I use vim a lot but not on the shell

A mistake 3 words earlier?

meta-bbbd (not as elegant, I admit)

delete the whole thing?

ctrl-ak (this is even quicker than vim, especially if capslock is mapped to ctrl)

the control-based emacs movements work system-wide on macos btw. I am using ctrl-p and ctrl-n to go up and down lines, ctrl-a and ctrl-e to go to beginning and end of lines while writing this comment in by browser (which has vimium extension)

Sometimes I wish vim just had full emacs bindings while in insert mode. But I don't like to mess with defaults too much.

I keep thinking I should give vim readline a try though, so maybe today. Thanks for the comment.

Maybe not considered a solution, but: print.

Nah, in my opinion the original title is art. That line is a whopper though.

I'm worried that China will build said killing machines only because they see that we are and feel the need to be prepared.

All the more reason for them to start finding alternatives ASAP, at least as a backup. Those with knowledge and skill should help them.

This will not augment memory the way glasses do for sight, this will replace memory the way a wheelchair replaces legs.

Thinking about the power and reach of political ads served by social media companies over the past 10 years, this is gonna be a whole nother bucket of worms.

That's interesting and plausible.

It also contributes to obsolescing older hardware.

Also likely, some version of "get dat money"

When I do dishes by hand I think all kinds of interesting thoughts.

Anyway, we've had machines that do our dishes and laundry for a long while now.

In that case, "blind" would be more accurate.

If you sell it directly to another human, or even use something like ebay, you'll get more and they'll pay less.

> without the pain of extended hours of pressing hard with a pen or pencil.

Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about fountain pens?

I recommend a Lamy Safari or Pilot Kakuno to start. If the nib is good, no pressure at all is required to write. You have to retrain to relax your hand and arm if you're used to ballpoints and graphite. High quality paper is not required but it can make a big difference too.

As far as digital, .txt will always have a special place in my hard drive. As long as a tool has a way to export into plaintext, I am not opposed to using it.

Wouldn't the whole system be the product then? There's tradeoffs, but that's just integration.
