Can we stop posting obviously slop articles? If you can't make the effort to write the article, I'm not going to make the effort to read it.

I've been using git for words for some time now. Suprised more writers don't!

I theorize it is going back to the protocol layer. The "web" for most people is a bunch of social media frontends.

and 1MB is "small" for the modern web!

So we are just going to take companies at face value now while this model is not publically available? OpenAI literally said the same thing about their next model a day later.

Both companies have models "too dangerous to release". Both companies' girlfriends go to another school.

I personally use Doom because there are a lot of out of the box optimizations, some don't like how hlissner has brought nix ideas of declarative package management into the mix, but I am a nix user so it makes sense. I also am an evil (heretic) user - Doom is configured from the get go as a gateway from vim/neovim into emacs, and it does that job very well.

I would say use both. You can run multiple emacs configurations, and you could have your vanilla config which you slowly build as well as Doom/spacemacs where you can see what is possible.

I do have a wandering eye for EXWM, it probably would require my skill with emacs to increase and an optimization of my config so as to defer heavy tasks etc. If you have any suggestions on how to get there, I am all ears! The more I use emacs, the more I want to make my entire computer emacs.

Some people want to just "do work" and not build a toolchest over the years. I think if I find myself doing something once, I will probably be doing it again, therefore the environment can help me greatly with achieving that goal in far less time. There is a diminishing return for some tasks, but some things I have written in emacs save me minutes of time each time they are run daily.

This is the thing people forget about emacs - it is primarily a lisp environment, entirely programmable. Something one can make their very own. Nothing else comes quite as close, even if the keyboard ergonomics (at least for me) do help to sell it. You can change the workspace to better the workflow in real time, that's the biggest selling feature.

I entirely agree - we could have had a completely unified computing environment, and we got... apps.
