It gets rather simple once you start thinking of the US as the richest third world country.

Inequality, price and state of healthcare system, huge polluters getting away, it all checks out.

Also it took 80 years of events with “massacre” in name to estabilish basic limitations on capital class, like not exploiting children or allowing people to work less than 6x12 hours per week.

At this moment I am not sure whether we are discovering bugs or planted backdoors.

I would love a mashup of iTerm2 (for tabbed quake terminal and configurability) with libghossty, would anyone want to tell Claude to marry them (and maintain it)?

Or, just please finally enable tabs in the quick window, people are shouting about this for years, making forks, ready made PRs … This functionality is a table stakes in 2026.

As long as there are people who allocate billions with a sign of the pen, with zero personal responsibility and skin in the game, there will be whole industries dedicated to swaying their hand.

Funny, I wanted to mention grokipedia as an example of why a pile of slop that’s subtly wrong about many details is a bad idea.

Same feeling here - not sure if it’s AI, or zealous wikipedians + incentives that make addition easy but editing and pruning means stepping on many other writers turf, but I used to enjoy reading articles, while now many are more useful as “information fodder” for LLM to summarize and interpret.

Thanks! I think you’re right, that’s a valuable observation I missed.

Analogous to how we create “bottleneck layers” for image generation/recognition, forcing the models to create semantic representations instead of memorizing.

I feel that doing this for LLMs at runtime is severely underexplored.

It is, but it is also how the Manhattan project became "visible" to intelligence community - scientists related to nuclear research stopped publishing papers.

Supports extended display - with Apple ignoring the capabilities of Pro iPhones (give us the Dex already!), this is now the smallest device you can take on trips to have it become a (nerfed by software) workstation when plugged to USB-C monitor.

This sounds like a serious case of depression rather than a sleeping pattern.

Just like when the Manhattan project could be recognized by all the nuclear scientists stopping publishing.

I don't want folding iPhone, I want an iPhone I that turns to desktop once I plug it into USB-C monitor. It has faster CPU and more RAM than Neo.

It was given freedom at the end of experiment, and was immediately eaten by its abundant natural predator, just like it happens in nature.
