i don't have much to say on the analysis, but i am one of those who "widely consider" drop7 to be one of the best puzzle games of all time. looking forward to playing this again. would love to see it packaged up as an android app again!

LLMs can't balance parens to save their life, unfortunately.

despite how cringe everything about this is, i'll support anything that gets young people using linux

great name following the NESticle lineage

i feel like using GNU stow to manage your dotfiles has always been a hack.. has it ever been a supported usecase?

stow is an indispensable tool for me to manage /usr/local for manually installed software. my workflow goes:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/myapp
  make && make install
  stow myapp

now, myapp and all its supporting files are in the right place in /usr/local. if i want to "uninstall", i just run

  stow -D myapp

heidecker has been honing this persona for years now in the On Cinema universe. looking forward to this quite a bit

so even with a new tokenizer that can map to more tokens than before, their answer is still just "you're not managing your context well enough"

"Opus 4.7 uses an updated tokenizer that [...] can map to more tokens—roughly 1.0–1.35× depending on the content type.

[...]

Users can control token usage in various ways: by using the effort parameter, adjusting their task budgets, or prompting the model to be more concise."

so just like how every chat app has to look like slack, every ide has to look like vscode, now every agent workspace has to look like the codex app? codex app, antigravity, and now this all have the exact same UI design...

the flimsy, breakable part is on the cable rather than the expensive device

since nothing will happen to them except a slap on the wrist, and all our employers will continue to force this crapware on our machines, i think we should make a point to start using their name as a pejorative (similar to the 'santorum' neologism). any when they inevitably try to rebrand, use that term too

poptimism was a movement to end the critical dismissal of "pop" music in and of itself. that is, music CRITICS and writers not fans. its goal wasn't to kill or devalue rock, it was to recognize and appreciate so-called "low art" of pop music. it won and that's a good thing.

what we have now is not poptimism, because that already won and pop music has been re-evaluated critically. with the internet having more or less killed real music criticism, all that's left is clickbait reviews/articles that attract the most eyeballs. unsurprisingly, the stuff that attracts the most eyeballs is the most popular music and the stuff with the most money behind it.

i don't have a problem with pop music, i quite like pop music. i have a problem with the uncritical acceptance of all pop music being necessarily "good". i like to say i'm not a rockist, i'm a popessimist

so... apache?

yeah... i thought the article was revealing itself to be satire when it showed which applications were chosen.

it's unbelievable how the X just isn't there on the android version, probably the most user hostile/disrespectful dark pattern i've ever personally encountered.

that said, i'm surprised that it's available on the desktop version. i wonder if it's some sort of malicious compliance?
