It’s fascinating to think about what true GUI for LLM could be like.

It immediately makes me think a LLM that can generate a customized GUI for the topic at hand where you can interact with in a non-linear way.

That's fair, having a remote shell environment that you feel comfortable to poke around is pretty great.

For git, you commented "for checking out github.com/stapelberg/configfiles". I wonder if you sometimes install NixOS locally from the installer? If so, I can understand having those packages around can be very useful.

Do you happen to have links to such discussions and analyses?

It seems Reddit also punishes ban avoiding. If they find a way to associate my banned accounts with a preprovisioned account, that account can also get banned?

I don't know how they do it, but I have tried using a completely new IP and private browsing, getting a new account, and posting in r/CatAdvice that r/NewToReddit says is newcomer friendly, but still got shadow banned.

> ... teenager asks why they need to learn calculus

> But if we avoid hard things

I don't see how you can justify the former by arguing the latter. These two are orthogonal. If I were that teenager, I think what I really would want to ask is that why it has to be calculus instead of some other things that is also hard but with obvious real world application like writing a small 3D game engine.

And my answer to that question is you probably shouldn't if your were in an ideal education system. You would be taught what interesting interactions you could have with the physical world, and be induced to discover calculus or some other math tools that helps you understand how the interactions really work and demonstrates you really need such tools. You're more likely to grasp them when you're driven by curiosity.

I wonder if Google is Xerox of our era, developing promising technologies only to be made practical and commercialized by other entities? Transformer is one example. Not sure if recent advancement in quantum computing is another.

This seems to be another iPhone moment, but I wonder what’s its killer feature? iPhone had the killer feature of phone calls, so everyone has a reason to buy one, I can’t come up with any for AR.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually incredibly excited about AR, I just can’t imagine how it becomes mainstream. It can of course be mainstream if it’s just like glasses and has all day battery, but it still seems pretty far away.

Many people seem to be unenthusiastic about it because the limitation on query strings are usually large enough.

I personally like this addition, because it no longer requires all queries be shoehorned into query strings. You can use any syntax you like, be it SQL or GraphQL etc.

This is akin to 2D beings saying time is the third dimension and being satisfied with the conclusion and happily living in their 2D world.

This seems like a pretty comprehensive book. Will check out. Thanks.
