This is true. But at jj ci you’re plonked into an editor and can change the description.

jujutsu is a fresh take on git-- you describe the work you’re about to do with jj new -m 'message'. Do the work. Anything not previously ignored in .gitignore is ready to commit with jj ci. You don’t have to git add anything. No futzing with stashes to switch or refocus work. Need that file back? jj restore FILENAME.

The majority of comedy works because there is truth in it. Sure, Idiocracy is prophetic, or we wouldn’t be discussing it today. Nobody discusses South Park’s “Bigger Longer Uncut” like Idiocracy because it doesn’t really engage this kind of truth.

What I cannot tell is if people have always been this moronic and we’re only more aware of it because of ubiquitous cell phone camera technology and the Internet’s capability to rapidly distribute awareness of dumbness that would have otherwise stayed regionally isolated.

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”—George Carlin

It’s more “tragedy of the commons” eugenics than “evil corporate-governmental-white supremacy” eugenics.

I thought the movie was more nuanced than that—the “smart parents” of Idiocracy did not have smart children—they had zero children. The smart couple in fact were the ones doing “self-eugenics” to their own detriment.

Eugenics or not, evolution favors the population that produces the fittest offspring for the environment–not the smartest.

How about two batteries that can be ejected and swapped without powering off the device? We don’t need to wait for super-capacitors today.

iPhones… someday. :)

(making a note for myself.)

At least it wasn’t “Hey, pull up that YouTube on the procedure, I need a refresher.”

Oh that’s awesome. The drop-down arrow “disapeared” with my mental blinders-- I was thinking it was only a toggle for PDFs.

This is a useful take: I too will use LLMs for search-- but not for search for journal articles with data and evidence. LLMs too easily confabulate these.

LLM-as-search is fantastic when you want a no-bullshit statistical result for what you’re looking for when you’re wanting an overview or interactive tutorial.

I have the big SearXNG portal bookmarked ( https://searx.space/ ) but I don’t find that I ever reach for it that often. Not being able to cull lower quality sites is just a little bit of extra toil I’m happy to pay to go away.

Ok, you piqued me: Got a link to a guide on using Kagi for the fediverse?

One of my best monthly expenses. I also appreciate being able to block low-quality domains from my search results.

Oh man, your demo gives me Hudsucker Proxy vibes (“You know, for kids!”). I’m going to have to watch it a couple of times to understand what pnk is doing here. My initial take is pnk is a DSL of bash functions that appear to be composing together Tkinter “primitives.”

An “APL” for UI. Interesting stuff.

Absolutely doable.

I’ve switched to paid search with Kagi. Best standard feature is I can tell Kagi to block w3schools, mediumDOTcom and stackoverflow from my search results.

I don’t expect that from a month-old USB drive however. A month old USB drive that write-locks itself is a lemon.

SanDisk sells very pretty expensive plastic bricks that excel at disappointment and confusion (like when a USB flash drive decides to become permanently read-only).
