I use AI compatibility as a metric when evaluating new software to add to my stack. If an AI agent isn’t able to do most of what you can do in the app by opening it, I prefer to look for other options.

Does not apply to everything though. E.G: I don’t care about AI support for my non work chats/email, since I’d rather not give it access.

So were AOL, and Skype

They’re my favorite controller out of the ones in the market right now. I really enjoy being able to have one controller in each hand.

As others have said, their primary issue is with quality control around stick drift.

I played a set of Factorio vs Minecraft! Tried generating a few different sets, this was super cool, and on theme!

From my understanding, they are trying to make Math education available to the entire population of the world. And now provide one on one personalized tutoring that currently only a fraction of the wealthiest people in their respective countries can afford.

It’s fortunate that it is cheaper than paying people.

I play drums for fun. The vocalists usually wear earplugs too. Because they’ll get hearing damage if they don’t. Instruments can be loud. Look up “Earasers” if interested, they’re the ones I use. They work in a way that music sounds reasonable, but still protects your ears.

I use Linux. You absolutely need to drop down to the command line at times. Upgrading my Kennel, or Graphics driver breaks something like 20% of the time for me.

I play competitive games in tournaments. I would disagree with your characterization.

Yes, people have a skill ceiling. However, it’s not something you’re ever going to get to by just playing most games.

People naturally improve at games when they start playing. Some factors being more familiarity with the game, and making less mistakes. However, people will stall out at different ratings at that point.

However, if you do deliberate practice in the game you will absolutely continue to get better. If you’re practicing specific scenarios, have focused areas of improvement, coaching, analyze your own replays, record your practice, and watch it: You will improve.

Yes, abstractly a “skill ceiling” out there exists for you, but you’re extremely unlikely to ever reach it in a game of skill unless you’re trying to go pro in it.

If putting time in were all that were required to reach your skill ceiling, we would have way more League of Legends Grandmasters. Unless you assume the people that go pro are all just more talented, and that their practice doesn’t make a difference.

I started with just Nix-Shell in WSL with Home Manager. Then I have kept adapting that file for my Linux, OS X, and other needs. I didn't touch NixOS at all until years later. I'm really, really glad I started with Home Manager. It delivered value immediately, and I was instantly sold on the value proposition of a declarative file to manage dependencies with other associated benefits from the Nix world.

Mind elaborating? I figure you mean with Tramp, but not sure.

I found the comment valuable. I might be unmotivated to contribute to an OS project purely for the sake of doing so. But throwing some money in, I might go like "Alright I'll tackle this".

Certainly I'm at least glad a tool like that exists.

The Evolution series by Primer on Youtube is a game changer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDvzbBRiNlA&list=PLKortajF2d...

It starts with very basic, and cute blobs. And builds simulations around how they evolve. But as they explain the simulations, they explain how mutations might arise. It is explain how mutations can become advantageous to the point of driving predecessors extinct, or nearly extinct. And they show you how to derive math formulas for the outcome of the simulations in a very intuitive way. Also, it's entertaining as hell. I've watched the whole series at least 4 times by now. It's short, it's punchy, it's brilliant. I'd very highly recommend it.
