And why does traditional knowledge have any weight whatsoever? Sounds like another form of religious claptrap to me.

I’d hope the people in charge of those companies aren’t wasting their time reading slop like this.

I don’t see how one can live in a world where machines are solving and making headway on Millennium Prize problems and say the above with a straight face.

> Just vibecode your own OS no?

Why stop at just one?

This is exactly why I oppose all religious exemptions.

Also begs the question, if humanism counts, why not transhumanism?

Why would I read an entire essay when you can't even be bothered to tell me what it's supposed to prove? I couldn’t care less whether it was by Pynchon, Marx, Friedman, Amodei, or anyone else.

Also, if humanism is being classified this way, why not transhumanism?

Not if one is a transhumanist, it feels liberating

Odyssey is better than SMB, but OOT-WW-TP are all better than BOTW (I consider it and TOTK to be the worst games in the series).

If you have to see them, they aren’t defaults. It’s bad enough that Windows Terminal doesn’t expose its full configuration and forces you to edit the config by hand for more advanced stuff. Feels like a step backwards when something like iTerm 2 gives you access to all settings in a (admittedly kinda crappy) GUI. This also kinda begs the question why there’s not a /TUI/ configuration manager shipped…

Why would a terminal multiplexer need an entire company behind it? Especially since it looks identical to the many other vibe coded alternatives (including my own lol).

What does that have to do with portability? It doesn’t support a bunch of CPU architectures, the portability metric I care about.

You’re kidding right? That’s not what the support matrix on the Zig site shows. Plenty of CPU archs in Tier 3/4. No support for Alpha, HPPA, M68K, Sparc, or SuperH.

Opera had tabs and sessions in 2000. I started using it specifically because IE6 would crash and lose everything I had open.

That seems…fragile. Is there even much future in Zig? The only other major project that I know of using Zig ditched it.

Isn’t it written in Zig? Not sure how that is “highly portable” compared to C
