The problem with TUI's, that we have all Stockholm syndrom'd ourselves, is that I can't use the mouse cursor to click to the position on the screen and edit the command line.

Emacs vterm can do this. It's the only terminal emulator I'm aware of that can, because it seems nobody else cares. It can even backspace and delete all the text selected.

Moltbook is a copy of the many years old r/SubSimulatorGPT2, which was itself a copy of SubSimulator. Not seeing the AGI here exactly, but it's cool I guess. Frankly, I saw more creativity from plain GPT 3. The typical molt book posts are homogeneous and self-aware posts on AI topics like this https://www.moltbook.com/post/74a145c9-9c44-4e82-8f0a-597c41....

A bit off topic: but what's with the ram usage of LLM clients? ChatGPT, google, and Anthropic all use 1+ GB of ram during a long session. Surely they are not running GPT 3 locally?

Wow, a phone with a battery that's so bad, they're selling an extra one to strap to the back of it, on launch day... The most innovative thing that Apple has done recently is figuring out how to have their CEO deliver a gift wrapped gold bar to the president. [1]

Apple released the first magsafe battery years ago. The battery life is also the same as the 16.

There’s no rational answer to this.

They want thin phones for the same reason they like fast cars. The same reason that ice cream tastes good.

Why do (some) people like jazz music?

Phones are the leading cause of RSI.

As a young person, I get perfectly normal corporate advertisements on YT, with the very rare porno dating ad. My parents on the other hand, get a never ending stream of the shittiest scams, AI voiceovers of Joe Rogan and Zelensky, dick pills. It's clear their tracking targets elderly users with scams. I would never pay for YT premium.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but ad blockers are on borrowed time.

This is like saying I was able to sneak into a concert. Sure, but at some point the restrictions are gonna come down hard.

Nobody can stop you from putting a black screen over the ad, or a scenic nature video.

Google has been catching up. Funny how fast this space is evolving. Just a few months ago, it was all about DeepSeek.

I have been using Google’s models the past couple months, and was surprised to see how sycophantic chatGPT is now. It’s not just at the start or end of responses, it’s interspaced within the markdown, with little substance. Asking it to change its style makes it overuse technical terms.

Wow, Today I Learned that every commenter on HN types over 100 wpm (which is probably around 2-3 standard deviations faster than the mean). Here I thought I was fast at 70. I picked up a bad early habit of not using my right ring and pinky fingers, so I unfortunately only use 8 fingers. My typing is still faster than my thinking, though so I've never felt the need to race any faster.

johan914 · 9 months ago

A lot of these people who say 100+ wpm or whatever really mean the 15 second test on monkeytype, that only tests words like “the” “that” “because”. It’s different than what an oldhead might mean by 100 wpm ;)
