My 12 year old 3DMM masterpiece was "Super Poo in the Super Loo". I was surprised this wasn't more popular, so much fun

Is this ... an Android laptop? I can't recall if Files icon on ChromeOS matches the Android version.

Its exciting to see, but look at the die size for only an 8b model

It's a practical approach, I used vagrant many years ago mostly successfully. I also explored the docker-in-docker situation recently while working on my own agentic devcontainer[0]- the tradeoffs are quite serious if you are building a secure sandbox! Data exfil is what worries me most, so I spent quite some time figuring out a decent self-contained interactive firewall. From a DX perspective, devcontainer-integrated IDEs are quite a convenient workflow, though docker has its frustrating behaviours

An easy switch for an individual, for an organization the ecosystem is typically too much to give up. Hopefully this changes in a few years.

Codenames are good identifiers when lots of projects exist. There are more software projects now than EVER.

I welcome Splorg, Chizzel, Rapunzel, Brap, Titoid, and Chungus - I don't care as long as it's good.

A whitelist in package.json is only a partial assist

Is this a joke?

Kids made this in the G-Mod sandbox for Half-Life 2.

If it feels dystopian, it's because HL2 is set in a dystopian world.

Honestly, it might literally be the toilet aspect that made this viral with 7 year olds

New comment by replete in "Apple M5 chip"

replete — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 20:13:43 +0000

I think the M5 Max will be more like 614GB/s, unless they somehow have exceeded DDR5x-9600 or added more than 32 memory controllers

New comment by replete in "Apple M5 chip"

replete — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 20:11:42 +0000

Looks like the M5 base has LPDDR5x-9600, which works out to 153.6 from base M4's 120GB/s DDR5x-7500. The Pro/Max versions have more memory controllers, 16, 24 and 32 channels accordingly. The 32 channel M5 top-end version will have 614GB/s by my calculations.

It would take 48 channels of DDR5x-9600 to match a 3090's memory bandwidth, so the situation is unlikely to change for a couple of years when DDR6 arrives I guess

Ventura got a security update last month. Sequoia will get updates for at least another 3 years. These glaring issues will get resolved eventually, even if it is the 'Frosted Glass' update.

I had fantastic results with lxqt some years on an HTPC. System used less resources and seemed more stable with Qt. Perhaps GTK is better these days, but at the time lxqt was a clear winner for that kind of scenario.

For a daily drive DE though, it may be too minimal?

Reminder that OpenAI is an American company whose headstart is attributed to stealing copyrighted material from everyone else. Without the huge theft, they'd be nowhere.

I relied on the TotalVisor - every system I have I will hack together something to get this functionality:

- Windows hotkey bottom file explorer: https://github.com/replete/productivity-ahk/blob/main/Bottom...

- MacOS hotkey bottom Finder: https://gist.github.com/replete/245986ddfb5a912f0bc71f5708be...

There's XtraFinder which promises something similar, but now all modern macs require disabling security features, which seems a bit much for a convenient hotkey.

I have also requested TotalFinder-like feature for PathFinder(https://cocoatech.io/) which is the closest thing to what TotalVisor did.

Wild how tiny little utilities can change your expectations of using a computer. Simply cannot get by without quake terminal and bottom file explorer anymore, on any machine I daily drive.

The best native app IMO is 2Do. I have tried literally everything for years, not found anything better. One cost, no subscriptions, sync never failed me (caldav), android/iphone apps, android widgets. Also has GTD options
