thanks for the great comment! You answer is great too, I will probably think about it for the next 4 nights or more, triggering my wife's comment "why are you so weird and distant? are you cheating on me?"

generally i expect if i invoke `touch file` to see my file update date as now, on the filesystem. so i want to have a mapping between physical world (in this case, memory on my machine) and intelligence representation. If the LLM terminal, upon invoking `touch file` does not update the physical file, it is not a real terminal. you can argue that i will use the terminal itself to invoke `ls -la` and check the updated file, but verifying from an external scope is mandatory imho otherwise it's obvious you cannot logically demonstrate that. hope i was clear

i agree absolutely with you. and this kind of reinforce my idea that, like this predicted terminal could not be considered a real terminal, predicted intelligence could not be considered real intelligence

fair enough. I didn't want to look aggressive, sorry about that.

I don't understand the point of this article. It is written poorly. It doesn't state a purpose or line of thought, you can infer it from how he counters the dislike reasons, but then was the point of the article just to list a handful of reasons you don't believe to be true? Because he's leaving so much stuff behind

it's a wrapper around a model that actually executes commands from text input. Claude Code is an harness : the underlying model is Claude (with the version of your choice), Claude produce text output like `grep -in "error" server.log` , Claude Code actually execute the code in your shell and return the output to the model

I just want someone to put the same concepts and ideas of Windows Phone OS (Lumia era) into desktop computer. That's all I desire. A beautiful type-oriented experience. I feels like with the rise of LLMs and Agents could be even bigger than 20 years ago

there's no button on the glasses to turn the Bluetooth on or off, so they're basically always connecting as long as they are powered.

I agree this is so nice! Would be awesome if some variation of this becomes the norm in every big city or turistic landmark. It's relatively cheap for local gov to set and maintain couple of those and brings back a different way of using the technology/interacting with people.

in that particular scenario, is certanly a made up work. but sometimes you are aggregating text from lets say 5/10 different inputs, and summarizing those into a single email with AI is pretty niche and efficient.
obviously not everything needs an hammer to be solved

I bought one in April '26 for two reasons: I needed a small computer to replace my old one that died, I didn't want to spend more than 600 euros, and the alternatives were not great. Second reason: at that time it was mis-priced on Amazon.IE and I bought it for like 550, one week after my purchase the price bumped to 750.

yeah i think the deterministic part (sending email, submit PR) is usually done by a normale script/software, agents are useful for summarizing text in a smart way, expecially if you need to aggregate text from multiple sources and it's natural language (not structured data)
