If my polite neighbour smiles, holds the door, but also pisses on my doormat every few days, I call him LOUD a jerk and tell him to stop. I never approve the piss because he said good morning.
interesting, I just tried this very model, unsloth, Q8, so in theory more capable than Simon's Q4, and get those three "pelicans". definitely NOT opus quality. lmstudio, via Simon's llm, but not apple/mlx. Of course the same short prompt.
all the examples for visual UI, are tasks which already are (or soon be) done by the agent, not human. hence not needed.
I suspect that final(*) UI is much more similar to TUI: being kind of conversational (human <> AI). Current GUIs provided by your bank/etc are much less effective/useful for us, comparing to conversation way: 'show/do me sth which I just need'. Not to mention (lack of) walled garden effect, and attention grabbing not in the user interest (popups, self-promo, nagging). Also if taking into account age factor. Also that we do not have to learn, yet another GUI (teach a new bank to your mom ;).
So at least 4 distinct and important advantages for TUI.
My bet: TUI/conversation win (*).
*) there will be some UI where graphical information density is important (air controller?) especially in time critical environments. yet even there I suspect it's more like conversation with dynamic image/report/graph generated on the go. Not the UI per se.
I'm seeing that "great-ai-unlock" is happening. I see in last month a lot of new software being codeveloped with claude/codex/gemini/you-name it.
Before, it was too costly to do sth like the Posture app: here, you would have to know Swift and apple apis to write such tool. Would you be C# (very good) programmer with free weekend, and an idea: no cookie for ya.
These days, due to "great-ai-unlock" your skills can be easily transferred and used to cross platforms boundary and code such useful app in a weekend or so.
Can you expand with more technical explanation how are those two points implemented:
- You can bring your shell environments / init scripts / aliases with you in a noninvasive way. I.e. you don't have to modify the remote system dotfiles, when you connect through xpipe it will set up any scripts you want to have available automatically
- You can link up your password manager with your SSH client and other connection methods that require passwords

> Taking VC cash is very often a game of deciding whether you want to gamble it all on faster growth or take less risk for less cash, but with the additional caveat that the investors you take on often will cheer for the "gamble it all" option as they have many parallel bets while you as the founder has one.
This shall be printed in block letters in a red frame ahead of most Paul Graham essays about milk, honey and richies in startup land.
He and VCs push theirs agenda because he has hundreds of bets, while founder has one.
They play different game and are quite quiet about it.
I don't have necessary knowledge to explain this, yet while using gpt4 to help me parse the abstract, gpt4 without missing a heartbeat, changed it to "Insolation refers to the amount of stellar energy a planet receives on its surface. The value "0.67s" indicates that TOI-715 b receives 67% of the solar energy Earth receives from the Sun. "
Friend of mine has 3 yrs old. The "dolphin" is in constant use by the child.
"What is he doing now?"
" Let's check what dolphin is playing with today".
"What does it say"
"Does he miss me?"
"Let's play with him".
It quickly became pal of the child.
Friend told that is one in top 5 toys of the child now :)
They're currently sending, massive unsolicited e-mail campaign to all (sic!) stackoverflow users. Message they're sending below. Please find 6 places where they try to address AI directly and indirectly :)
Stack Overflow is investing heavily in enhancing the developer experience across our products, using AI and other technology, to get people to solutions faster.
As part of that initiative, we’ve launched Stack Overflow Labs.
Here is where we’ll share our experiments, demos, insights, and news - across all Stack Overflow products. We plan to continually add to this site as we experiment and release new solutions.
You can sign up to get previews and early access to features that will be available on stackoverflow.com.
Our guiding principles for Stack Overflow Labs
Find new ways to give technologists more time to create amazing things.
Accuracy is fundamental. That comes from attributed, peer-reviewed sources that provide transparency.
The coding field should be accessible to all, including beginners to advanced users.
Humans should always be included in the application of any new technology.
Cost of implementing better process for all carpenters is significantly higher, than all carpenters still using bad process + _one_ AI being able to clean it for carpenter, plumber, translator, developer (you name it, you got it).
Not even entering laziness/corposlowness gardens etc.
I helped a friend to create home storage with two units (redudancy) of gnubee PC1 (2.5" drives), and setup is ultra useful, fast, low power and reliable (contrary to sibling comments ;) -> highly recommend it.
Usage (few years of happy usage):
* openwrt custom build with patches
* FDE for all drives using linux cryptsetup, including custom patches for cryptoengine (critical)
* big (read x TB) repos served by locally (on gnubee) run syncthing
* big files served for local media devices over ksmbd, (read 4k streams ;)
* drives in raid1 (linux mdraid)
ultra low power for 24/7, with 90% of energy budget for drives.
Highly recommended! But yes, I agree that it required tinkering, skills and time to set up.
1. have separate vlan (named vspy ;) for all the external devices like appletv etc
2. all traffic to internet dns ports (53, 853 etc) is completely blocked from this vlan
3. all trafic to ips list (using ipset matching for speed) containing manually curated few dozens of publicly known DoH servers (including 8.8.8.8 et. al) is completely blocked from this vlan
In other words: use my own dns server or go away.
all services works fine (apple,google, tv/movies streaming etc.) while being in this vlan, and I see "my" devices continuously hit the 2&3 bariers.
you clearly (in this post and yours others) did not read OP and other comments on this thread where it's documented that it WAS NOT design decision. why use it as an argument where it's written it was NOT by design.
the same with LFS -> this post clearly shows detriment to LFS usage, and probably many other tools written with golang.
- tell lies to ones who want to hear lies -> riches
- tell truth to ones who want to hear truth -> modesty
- tell truth to ones who want to hear lies -> bankruptcy
p.s. read it on a blog name I dont remember :(
