The least they could do is show subdomains, so that when you click on squarespace.com it doesn't take you to a virus. They will show https: but not subdomains? Excellent UI.
Have you ever seen a MacBook air's screen? Those use fractional scaling and look fine.

Take a language that is equidistant from english and chinese, like Malay, and translate that dataset into both languages. Then train a model and benchmark them. I suspect the differences would be irrelevant.
Re:Ghostty – Terminal Emulator on Sunday March 01, 2026 @01:24PM (#47209291)
For 1, take a look at https://github.com/alex-903/zsh-mouse-and-flex-search. It runs as a zle-line-init hook, so it works in any terminal. A full terminal app implementation would be cleaner, however.
I recently switched back to a terminal-based workflow from Emacs, and I missed fast fuzzy command recall and mouse-friendly editing in the prompt. So I built a small zsh UI that brings Emacs-style flex matching to shell history, adds full mouse support for setting point and selecting results.
