The other day I realized that holding down the Option key in the System 7 Desktop Patterns control panel changes the button text from "Set Desktop Pattern" to "Set Utilities Pattern". Does anyone here happen to know what that means?
edit: holy crap, I just figured it out: "Set Utilities Pattern" replaces the background pattern of every desk accessory, such as the Calculator and Scrapbook apps, Find File, Key Caps, Puzzle— with the pattern you chose. What a different time that was!
woah that's a new one for me too! great find
"Infinite Loop", a Haiku for Sonnet:
Great! Issue resolved!
Wait, You're absolutely right!
Found the issue! Wait,

Nice! I did one of these ages and ages ago copying the win 3.1 pattern editor (which doubtless is a ripoff of the mac one anyway)
well done! I also made one, but for the mac control panel.

Two years ago I vibe coded a recreation of the Mac Desktop Pattern Control Panel to change a website's background.
Demo here: https://jherrm.github.io/classic-mac-desktop-pattern/

(and I also did the hack of reading raw images to get the binary pattern :-D the source for the converter is also in this repo)

Pen-based handhelds designed around writing seem to gravitate to larger form factors than phones.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the similarity in size to the Apple Newton MessagePad from the 90s:
Original MessagePad: 184 x 114 mm (7.25 x 4.5 in)
reMarkable Paper Pro Move: 195.6 x 107.8 mm (7.7 x 4.24 in)
No comparison in thickness though, with the Newton being about 3x the thickness of the reMarkable (19 mm vs 6.5 mm).
I'd argue that even GPT-5 and Sonnet 4 at their highest reasoning budgets are not enough for "real coding work" because you still have to think about how an LLM should do it instead of what, and put it into a prompt. some harnesses, such as JetBrains Junie or Gemini CLI, make a good job of letting me drift into declarative prompts, but that's still not enough.
totally agree - they all need a human in the loop at this point. I'm constantly stopping gpt-5/sonnet 4 and steering. Unfortunately with grok it completely misses the plot constantly
fast but not smart. Fine for non-critical "I need this query" or "summarize this" but it's pretty much worthless for real coding work (compared to gpt-5 thinking or sonnet 4)
