First time I’ve heard or read the word “entomology”

glm-4.7: I fixed it

I’m currently sitting on a codebase that’s perfectly ok and I have no reason not to open-source it, but it’s 95% generated by AI so I don’t know. Probably I’ll just use it myself like it was an embarrasing sex toy.

Looking at github lately, it seems a lot of people don’t share my reservations.

Eggs.

installs linux

For the same reason it’s difficult to turn people away from communism. Phlegmatic ignorance.

Ah ok. Well, the decent alternative to all that is Tesla.

So does GrapheneOS apparently, as long as we’re talking about Androids.

What does Android Auto do?

Good reviews. Unfortunately the device is 18x10x4mm larger than my already gigantic Pixel 9

1 - tap to pay. I don’t see how this can practically be done. Like, at all.

Yeah, better go back to carrying pieces of plastic with you at all times. Bonus: you can leave your phone home and still pay for things.

CachyOS might be the easiest one that gives you something decent. It’s basically an Arch Linux with slightly better compiler optimizations and tweaked kernels. Also a tweaked version of proton in the core repos.

Started by a German dude so EU++ or something. And of course it’s based on Arch Linux, which was started by a Canadian dude.

It’s on top of distrowatch too, but I have no idea what that implies.

The only way to completely avoid things developed by vibe coding will be to stop using computers of any kind. Go full Thoreau.

Rust is fearlessly upholding the whole thing even without touching it. Incredible!

I think this happens only when your firefox upgraded while you were using it. In Linux, that usually happens when you manually run an upgrade.

• No More Forced Restarts: This is a huge relief for many!. Firefox on Linux no longer requires a forced restart after your package manager applies an update. This means smoother, uninterrupted browsing, even during system updates.
• Reduced Memory Usage: ForkServer leads to a significant reduction in memory consumption for content processes. The base resident memory for a content process is now around 50% lower. This helps Firefox run more efficiently, especially if you have many tabs open.
• Faster Process Startup: You’ll notice that content process startup times are reduced by approximately 35%. This translates to snappier new tab openings and overall improved responsiveness.

Sounds actually too good to be true to me.

I’m partial to the idea that we’re part of a larger organism. So essentially similar to cell parts but on a different scale. There’s something above that, but we are as likely to figure it out as cells are able to figure us out.

What to do with that? I have no idea. In lieu of objective facts, I guess it’s useful to pick the good instructions from religions – usually the ones that they all share are the ones that are worth adhering to. Do to others etc etc.

Bitcoin is pretty fast. You get 5 confirmations in about an hour. If you compare it to credit cards, the equivalent thing (clearing and settlement) happens in about 2-7 days.

Thing that matters to the merchant is a bit different than the thing that happens with the customer. You can build similar layers in front of the customer for crypto payments that make it look like the payment went through in a second.

Sure, of course, and not liking things can be done without psychoanalyzing the author and it does not require feeling superior to them or ridiculing them.

Possibly the only thing more annoying than Yudkowsky are the anonymous online people who think they figured him out. Many of them are in these threads.
