There is no reason. I switched from iTerm 2 and while Ghostty is a lot faster and lighter, it has occasional rendering issues and does not detect URLs as well. It also doesn't have tmux control mode which I really liked.

I quit using iTerm 2 because of the AI features. Ew.

Cherry-picked is the term, not nitpicked.

I think autonomous mowers are more a tech problem. Just like the vacuum cleaners, they're only successful in the case of literally zero eventualities. Rake left out in the grass? Ope, guess you need a new mower blade. Dog poop or slick of jam on the floor? Congratulations, literal Picasso has been made for you. On the floor.

Ranting on, even dishwasher machines are like this. You have to stack and unstack, easily the most labor intensive part of the job, and you have to do it just right. Spatula jams the upper spray arm spindle? Sorry, best I can do is literally baked on residues that will NOT come off next cycle.

I'm not sure what point I was making but I'm sure this connects to shoddy LLM software in some way.

I think my point is that not everything requires a well-engineered solution. Many times a badly-made cheap solution is a better alternative than a well-made expensive solution. That is true of AI "art" too. If you need a picture for a throwaway slide deck, fine. If you're designing the cover of your new book, maybe not.

All of it is still important, but you don't _have_ to do it. The LLM will infill a generic solution that looks about as good as AI art. It will have bugs down the line as important levels of encapsulation were not observed, state was not thought about or formalized, and global data dependencies are implicited all over the place.

Yeah, this DIY MITM attack is entirely avoidable.

Is this sarcasm? You don't see a lack of something. That's what it means. To prove a reduction you have to look at aggregate statistics and sentiment analysis.

Agh I can't innovate when I have to [checks notes] put the ingredient amounts on the label!!!

This competition will be great for us consumers for a while. Until China undercuts everybody else for long enough to essentially monopolize the market. This pattern has repeated itself across many markets already.

And you just know Canonical thinks this is feasible because they can just copyright wash it with an LLM. "Write GNU coreutils in rust" is all you need to say.

Thanks kind stranger, genuinely appreciate the info. I had my suspicions.

How about: forecasting is something you can do by modeling, AI is just modeling with a computer.

Haha, oh the poor mega tech companies?! As if. Google sees a market, it wants to capture it. Same as Apple did.

I run iOS 18 and have no problems with my battery, it is at 73%. iPhone 14 Pro. Don't think I'm going to install 27 either.

$2000 is crazy talk
