Yes, the TEE is CPU + H100 GPU.

Much as I love org-mode tables, I'd say the only axis where an org table is more feature rich is the formula support. Visidata is an amazing multitool for exploring tabular data that supports many data sources. From an ergonomic perspective, visidata wins.

People say that as if the Nvidia experience is better. Nvidia also has a horrible developer experience.

Let's not be overly reductive, Claude Code is a TUI with a CLI for all input including slash commands.

Oh, that's interesting. Linux kernel hacking is the area where I have the best chance of contributing something. If I can get my m3 max bootstrapped to a blinking cursor then I'd be very happy to participate in kernel work.

I don't think ZK proofs help to establish trust in a photo's authenticity at all. C2PA is a well thought out solution to this problem.

https://spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.2/spec...

> The C2PA information comprises a series of statements that cover areas such as asset creation, edit actions, capture device details, bindings to content and many other subjects. These statements, called assertions, make up the provenance of a given asset and represent a series of trust signals that can be used by a human to improve their view of trustworthiness concerning the asset. Assertions are wrapped up with additional information into a digitally signed entity called a claim.

Likewise, cognitive decline isn't what's happening here since that would require cognition. At best it is a simulation of cognitive decline.

New comment by donaldihunter in "I used standard Emacs extension-points to extend org-mode"

donaldihunter — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 23:50:22 +0000

I have been using Emacs for 35 years and I am still learning along the way. It has been the one constant across Solaris, Linux, Windows and macOS for all that time.

Definitely a YMMV kind of vibe. Ignore all the opinionated takes and find your own personal opinionated path.

> I'm curious what emacs users are doing these days.

Using Emacs for pretty much everything. Org (w/ babel) for most of my notes, blogs, presentations and todo lists. Magit for everything git. Gnus for keeping up with the linux kernel mailing list firehose. LSPs for C, Python, Go, Rust. Tide for typescript. I use aider and aidermacs for my AI pair programming. Haven't tried Claude Code yet but it's on my todo list because everyone raves about it. I even use mastodon.el, and Circe for IRC.

I use macOS native emacs built from source, currently 31.0.50. The largest project I work with is the Linux kernel which I edit remotely using Magit and LSP over TRAMP.

I also live in macOS Emacs built from source, currently running 31.0.50. Linux kernel dev over TRAMP w/ clangd language server, ~300 open buffers and <500MB memory.

I use org-mobile to sync w/ beorg[0] using iCloud sync. Between desktop and laptop I use git commits which works fine for me because I wan't the commit history anyway. I can imagine that git would cause unwanted friction if the goal was just syncing.

Rodents nibble (and destroy) _everything_ plastic adjacent in my garage. I guess it's time for high-scoville countermeasures.
