Not pianists in Chicago, but you can get there, and it cant do it.

Consider maybe 1 + 1 ~ +-2 like Q factor, if you know what I mean.

That would help to filter out more probabilistic noise in using it to help reason with.

You got to adjust for shame and such. I'd bet it's up to twice as much in practice, that is 92% did not actually open a book. I'll give you that 46% do not own one, that sounds reasonable.

If the trend continues with LLM-related bullshitting technologies I will stop being interested in the Internet. I will stop coming. Many of us will.

Generated music is as far removed from jamming with friends as kissing a girl you like is removed from gang raping her with five of your teenage comrades over Twitch. Is that a good analogy? I think it is.

Adsense needs to respect that header, is all. I'd ditch ad-block if that happened.

Provided ads are alongside my content and don't replace it's space and time.

I'd use that.

EDIT: apparently, the basic idea is there; but also cookies will now only come from the website being viewed, not tracking you across the whole Web.

Got out all kinds. W's, v's, whatnot.

but in reality there are less then a hundred alltogether for all time

each is a project of passion, and all are resultant in a peculiar, particular and special kind of thing to do a special kind of thing

you can't select a thing the VIM way and then do something to it the Emacs way

you can't eat Catholic while working Maori

or you can, but then it is just another special thing that you made up

text isn't a thing

code is a thing (many ways, depending on the approach), prose is a thing (many ways), poetry is a thing, legal writing is a thing

text is not a problem that can be solutioned, it is not a question that has an answer

In Mac? Never.

Shame tho...

If choosing I'd go with Mac for work. They have hardware that is reliable, and software that is approachable. Unless it's 3-4 levels deep into MS tech, I'd be confident the Mac can handle it.

If I was starting a new project for myself, like a game or a SaaS thing, then I'd go with some Debian or Arch peppered with a RoFi search/command thing, and a window manager akin to i3. A development machine, entirely geared towards looking at and making of code.

But if time wasn't an issue I would not jump on any of the things available to me. They are all largely misguided with relation to my goals. None of them are particularly enabling. All of them are better than center-aligned Comic Sans in a Word.app document, but none of them integrate my prior knowledge, or even the projects I previously did. Every new project is entirely new anyways.

Computers kinda went the sellout route circa 2012, the PC makers do what they understand will sell well, and there aren't any projects that are different enough to warrant an interest. The commercial offering is geared towards the common journeyman programmer, in it's entirety. There are no niche computing devices, I'd expect to see thousands of those, but still there are a handful at best.

There is like one model of a 3-year old Thinkpad that I'd buy, but it doesn't get me excited enough to actually do that. I'd put some Linux on it, with flare.

I have strong opinions. I have the 20+ years of experience to have formed them.

If I were to take a job or a gig in coding ever again, I'd ask the employer for a machine and figure it out from there. I don't care what it is. As my employer, you make these decisions and suffer their consequences.

I'm just here to figure it out, clock out and go home, where you will never, ever call or message me. You got your 8 hours, and they are as you made them come out. Get screwed.

Big fan.

Haven't bought any computers since 2012 tho. And it looks to me like I am stuck with what I have, as what PC makers peddle is not meant for me.

If I was forced to, say for business reasons, to buy a bunch or even just one for the coming years, then in 2022 it would be Apple. Because they have memory and computing and bus on the same chip, and you can only beat that with a cluster. They even have a product that is a miniaturized computing cluster for a quarter of the price of one.

Apple is the greatest shit shoveler in PC-making right now. I'd go with Apple.

On the other hand, if thinking about the world as it is and not about the abstract, I'd have to say that none of what Apple did since 2015 has anything to make me upgrade my hardware.

So I have like 6-8 computers that are all more than 7 years old by now. I'm not looking for new hardware.

And looking at the software they've released in those years, I'm not looking forward to new software.

Methinks I ate myself, thanks Apple. You got me spoiled.

And you can't compete.

But then, there's a Lenovo Yoga from like 2016 that plugs into a pair of SOLO7c and that doesn't.

Different stations I start with volume 55-85, they don't all have the same loudness (genre related, no doubt). But the use for radio is for me "fill space, drown out distractions, provide flow" so that I don't need it loud. I'm not actively listening to radio. I didn't choose the song. And that's the point.
