Yes, all we know is that things will change, but we don't know exactly how. So - increase your tolerance to sudden life swifts and learn to enjoy uncertainty.

wxWidgets carries too much legacy. A GTK3 fork maybe? Or a functional clone of QML with some improvements.

Firing a human is a form of natural selection. The unit here is a human fulfilling a position (job function) instead of an organism, and the adaptation mechanism would be memes/lore/training surrounding it. The same could be done in an accelerated manner to LLMs with some kind of DNA-like mechanism related to weights. It is plausible that LLMs will be bred in the future for specific roles by how well they fit - kind of like continuous parallel finetuning in prod.
As I wrote this I thought - hey, they might gain the capacity to do the same to us humans - and we won't even notice.

Re:Some people can't see mental images
on Thursday October 30, 2025 @02:39PM (#45763602)
Not the OP - I think it's the same process. The difference is in what my inner narrator is doing. When I asleep it is almost always gone, and this is when I typically see things in full color. When awake, my attention is split between listening to its storytelling and the mental imagery, which I believe makes the latter more dull. I noticed that the narrator is more loud when I'm in a minor mental state, like tired or annoyed. When happy/refreshed - there is no voice in my head and I can "see" things very clearly, especially their colors. So, I started looking for ways to divert my attention from the narrator. The most effective seems to keep the narrator busy with commenting on my breath ("in" and "out"), got some boost of mental clarity from that.

All GUI apps are different, each being unhappy in its own way. Moated fiefdoms they are, scattered within the boundaries of their operating system. CLI is a common ground, an integration plaza where the peers meet, streams flow and signals are exchanged. No commitment needs to be made to enter this information bazaar. The closest analog in the GUI world is Smalltalk, but again - you need to pledge your allegiance before entering one.

I had some success with Claude in this regard. I simply told it to be blunt or face the consequences. The tweak was that I asked another LLM to translate my prompt to the most intimidating bureaucratic German possible. It worked.
