We have Dissociative Identity Disorder and are plural (https://morethanone.info). We may use plural first-person pronouns (such as "we" or "us") to refer to ourselves as a system.

Wouldn't "AIDE" be more skimmable? Took me a while to figure out you probably mean something like "agentic development environment" because I couldn't find a definition of the acronym anywhere.

This suggests there are tiers to ass. What dictates how much ass someone can eat? Is there anyone who can eat only partial ass?

I don't think no one knows how it works. I just think the people using the word "legacy" for it are boneheaded.

My understanding is that Steam already ships with a static Linux runtime compatible with most distros. Is this insufficient in terms of the library compatibility you're talking about?

Sometimes I am shocked by how blind Spotlight is. I will have something in my applications folder with a straightforward name -- say, Steam.app -- and it will keep picking the shortcut generated by CrossOver for the Windows version of Steam, that is nested inside a bunch of subfolders. Wtf? I ended up renaming the CrossOver version to WinSteam so it stops prefix-matching.

seconding this. it's even worse for those with executive dysfunction where it becomes too difficult to force one's self to continue taking what is now the long way around. even if you could do it so much better with time and practice.

Ah wait, you mean you'd intend the other layers to be able to evolve to use the CPU internally, so all you need is to keep the CPU functional somewhere in the model? That may work, dunno.

The power is fun sometimes.

In all honesty though, more devs need to test their software on a cheap netbook from a decade+ ago. If everybody did that, software would be so much better. I heard rumors of a DOOM that was optimized that way and as a result reaches something like hundreds of thousands of frames per second on modern hardware.

> I am moving my finger on my touchpad to move the pointer to more or less match what I am reading.

I do that too. I tend to "park" my cursor near where I am looking, or near where I anticipate clicking next.

> let's say that I want to login. My pointer is far away from the login link. My fingers are not on the touchpad. Is it faster to move my right hand towards myself, touch the touchpad, slide the pointer to the link or moving that very same index finger to the link and touch it?

Entirely depends on your relative proficiencies and preferences, I suppose.

When I had a touchscreen, I used it with a trackpad and a trackball. All three input devices had utility to me, so why not? These days I sometimes use a laser mouse rather than trackball, but same story (though my MacBook doesn't have touch now). I always prefer trackpad to scroll wheel for scrolling, for hopefully obvious reasons (range of motion and precision are both way better). I do know I got use out of the touchscreen even though I can't think of a hard rule for it. It's probably just nice to have on a case-by-case basis.

Pointer acceleration is also incredibly important for trackpad precision and I've only seen GNOME get close to as good as Apple.

> Apple created and designed the update system for their operating system from scratch. The fact it doesn't include the ability to update a security-critical file quickly is entirely their fault.

Sure. It's not their fault for failing now to use a capability that doesn't exist, though. I feel like the difference is lost on some people, but they're already in this situation.

Assuming for simplicity that you're talking about locking layers. Each layer influences the input to the next layer, so locking a subset of layers doesn't necessarily mean that you'll continue to see the same results in the output. Not sure if you meant something more granular or otherwise, but I don't see how it's possible to simply freeze a part of a model in order to retain a particular capability.
