Foot is a excellent candidate if you like tmux or Zellij (or screen, do people still use screen?) because they handle tabs and splits making the built in ones irrelevant. This is my daily driver.

Kitty is built from the ground up to be a multiplexer alternative and does tabs and splits out of the box.

Objectively, looking at what he says and what he does, Elon is one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the face of the planet.

Being born into apartheid money and using that influence to be near smart people doesn't make him smart.

This is the "you can't use OSHA safety yellow because I don't like the color" and the "you have to disable the forklift backup alarm because it's annoying" guy.

The "Nazi salute on the most public venue" guy.

The "completely erode the integrity and monetary value of a trusted social media network instead of just sitting back and letting it print money for me" guy.

The "call a legitimate child saving hero a pedophile publicly because my feelings are hurt because nobody liked my custom built submarine idea" guy.

I can't think of one objectively smart thing that he has done--not something he used the racist heritage money to simply be near--but the number of stupid fucking things just keeps coming.

Hell, I have NO IDEA what those really mean, but it’s 3 seconds away via prompt.

This is where I stopped reading, and it's so emblematic of the argumentation I routinely see.

"I have no first hand knowledge of your domain, but let me tell you why you're wrong about it" is just a derivative of "everything I don't understand is simple", and I will have no part in that.

Also not favorable to pit bulls. I dislike this headline so very much.

The AI apologists in this thread are wild to me. It's too bad they don't have access to some kinda tool that could give them information on how water tables work.

/s? Because through like... every other abundant source of protein. We actually eat way, way too much protein on average, which your body has to just filter out. It does you no good and just overworks your liver.

Soy, rice, beans, legumes, and many other foods provide abundant protein.

If you want to worry about not getting enough of something, focus on fiber.

Those experts are clearly not fire fighters. A closed bedroom door can be the difference between having time to escape and having time to be flash fried.

Counterpoint: billionaires are proven liars and the scum of the earth so anything said during a debate is about as reliable as wet toilet paper.

I think I'm mostly ignorant here. I of course know that abuse on these platforms is always an issue but I didn't know we were having any particularly bad instances of it today. Can you point me to a reference so I can get up to date?

I imagine the mistrust comes largely from people who have never used ssh keys for authentication.

A data center is a warehouse-size building that holds a sea of computer servers that run day and night, collecting, processing and storing data for the internet. Giant ones are needed to run A.I. models that teach computers to think like humans.

They absolutely do not. They do not think like humans. They do nothing of the sort, not even close. We need to crush this marketing narrative.

A stochastic parrot does not think like a human.

 
  1. Webpages won’t be the primary interface anymore. Traditional browsers were built to load webpages. But increasingly, webpages — apps, articles, and files — will become tool calls with AI chat interfaces. In many ways, chat interfaces are already acting like browsers: they search, read, generate, respond. They interact with APIs, LLMs, databases. And people are spending hours a day in them. If you’re skeptical, call a cousin in high school or college — natural language interfaces, which abstract away the tedium of old computing paradigms, are here to stay.

Owner of web browser says webpages are cooked, I guess.

Wow.
