And a few sentences later:

“Paul had rapidly decided that this whole debate was a distraction. For any human, absolute proof of a Copy’s sentience was impossible. For any Copy, the truth was self-evident: cogito ergo sum. End of discussion.”

Guess this will become common now. I used Claude to write a small application to monitor free appointments for driving license renewal at my DMV. Instead of waiting 6 months I was able to get an appointment within a few days.

I really enjoy using it so far.

I know it's subjective, but it feels fast and lean, while iTerm felt cluttered. I really like WezTerm also, but not having a quake style terminal meant that I used iTerm in parallel. So being able to use only Ghostty now is super nice. I just hope that support for tabs in the quick terminal (that's the quake style terminal in Ghostty) is coming at some point.

It'a also great to see how quickly Mitchell reacts to issues on GitHub. It was nice to report an issue and see it fixed only a few hours after that.

Is this Frog Fractions 3?

Unfortunately no tab support yet in the quick terminal, and it does not work on top of fullscreen applications. Would be great if these things would work at some point.

Currently I am using Wezterm and iTerm2 for the quake style terminal, but using two different terminals is quite annoying. I really miss Visor and TotalTerminal.

The more interesting part for me is that a satellite just exploded, that it's made by Boeing is just the cherry on top.

The satellite here was using the same Boeing bus: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/04/new-video-of-intelsa...

So something similar might have happened here.

For some context:

The same Boeing satellite bus already experienced a major issue some years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800

At least collision avoidance manoeuvres are not that common in GEO as far as I know, so things like this are more the exception: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/flaviomurolo_meteosat-mtg-sat...

Well, there's also the Russians sneaking around: https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-russian-sigint-...

Boeing would be very unlucky to lose two satellites with the same bus to external causes.

Indeed.

After what happened to Intelsat 29e (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800) it's probably an issue with the satellite bus.

And Space-Track (https://www.space-track.org) says the following:

U.S. Space Forces-Space (S4S) has confirmed the breakup of Intelsat 33E (#41748, 2016-053B) in GEO on October 19, 2024, at approximately 0430 UTC. Currently tracking around 20 associated pieces - analysis ongoing. S4S has observed no immediate threats and is continuing to conduct routine conjunction assessments to support the safety and sustainability of the space domain.

This is the same Boeing 702MP satellite bus as the one used for Intelsat 29e, which had this anomaly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800

At least they should not accuse the user.

“You broke Reddit”

Come on, I don’t think so!

Kagi is awesome, can’t recommend it enough. I have been waiting for years for a viable paid Google alternative and couldn’t be happier now.

Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

The devil is in the details. So I am a bit careful making a statement here without trying to implement it myself first. Could be super simple, but maybe not.

I did not try it, but at first glance it does not seem to be especially low effort to me.

It’s a niche thing and if it’s well implemented the price seems reasonable to me.

What a strange comment. Don’t buy if you don’t want it. Develop a free alternative if you are passionate about it. But just complaining like this? Is it considered dirty to sell something now? At least it’s not a subscription.

It’s not the core that’s leaking, it’s the underfloor heating…

You should be able to remove the coating with alcohol, works for me.

Yes, that’s also what I was thinking of when I read the headline.

“I’m sure they’ll listen to reason”

Software updates for satellites have been possible for a long time.

I see the flag.

You are right, I edited my comment.

Maybe reaching 0.02 €/kWh? I have to pay 0.0504 €/kWh right now in Germany. Edit: sorry, my numbers are off by one digit. I have to pay 0.504 €/kWh of course unfortunately

Will do that, thanks!
