I have been waiting for displayport 2.0 for 5 years. It was supposed to be in products 2020 [0]. Then it got pushed back. Then it got renamed to displayport 2.1, but they split it out into uhbr10, uhbr13.5, and ubhr20. So now they're selling "displayport 2.1" monitors with barely more bandwidth than displayport 1.4. It has been 5 years and I'm still waiting for 80gbps displayport under whatever name.

>"We sped up new file creation, so you can now create a new file in under 20ms, a 100x speedup from v1.2."

>No. You had a big bug. You fixed it. Excellent. When I'm affected by the bug I'd search for "deadlock" or "bug " in the announcement and this is hiding it behind marketing speak. I don't think that's honest. So for me the perfect announcements would be the red ones.

I'm confused about how you'd know to search for those terms unless you were part of the dev team of that product.

A hang in the UI could just be the backend doing work in a way that's not optimized for UX. It's not necessarily a deadlock or a bug. Those are implementation details. It's not something a typical end-user can perceive just by using the software.

I've only heard of "pig butchering" scams in the context of people who pose as family/friends of people on social media whom they target with urgent requests for money, e.g.:

> I've been arrested/kidnapped/lost my wallet

the scammers create a flase sense of urgency and exploit the victim's concern for their loved one's well-being.

I took a screenshot and pasted it into the new Win11 Paint. Even minimized, Paint was constantly using 5% CPU and sitting at ~250MB of RAM. I guess I can begrudgingly get over the RAM, but squandering the CPU like that is ridiculous.

What happened to pride or quality control or anything?

Atari blackjack was released in 1977…

I remember Texas Hold’em being a thing on the early days of the internet as well.

Gambling video games have been around a long time. I see this as just another moral panic not unlike the “Doom causes school shootings” narrative.

Some do. Do people people go to sufficiently sociable cafés daily? Most people go with and talk to people they already know.

Not in church, but with people they meet in church.

A lot of churches do have some socialising after services. Just serving coffee or something afterwards

Even without that people chat on the way out.

The more videos with the FW12 moving and used before the Camera I see, the less I can ignore the fat bezels. The design language at all is not made for „business“ which is refreshing and they obviously have a budget approach, but such ancient bezels don‘t do a contribution for anything. The lack of any Windows Hello enabling hardware was the final bit for my sad no-buy decision.

I got the same impression, not having a snappy marketing tag line is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Sometimes users just don't get it - and never will. Sometimes things are too technical to be useful to a user (the author touches on this themselves). Let the results speak for themselves - and be proud of your achievements, it sounds like this was a success.

Focussing too heavily on user facing issues is a kind of myopia that actually leads to a worse user experience over time, and, ironically, a slower turnaround for those user facing issues.

I was hoping this would work over ssh in a macOS Terminal.app, but last I tried it was inserting all kinds of weird characters into the edited text files.

Windows ships an official OpenSSH server these days, but so far there haven't been any good official text editors that work over OpenSSH, as far as I know.

I've had to resort to "copy con output.txt" the few times I needed to put things into a text file over windows-opensshd...

> With an American-centric view, how do you deal with homeless people using them as shelter?

I don't think it's a concern, first of all. Second, store owners will kick out non-paying customers as they have since time immemorial. You might as well ask how someone deals with pan handlers at the intersection on the way to their drive-through Starbucks. If the person is just sitting in a corner not bothering anyone, maybe someone will buy them a coffee, or maybe they'll be annoyed that it's too loud and leave, or perhaps they just look homeless but they're just mistaken for your run of the mill startup founder?

There are also lots of homeless people in other parts of the world. How do people in Paris or London deal with them? I don't understand why this exists an American-centric view here for such a general concern. Homelessness isn't unique to the United States, yet virtually every country on the planet has coffee shops you can walk into.

Unless you assume the market for smartphone hardware with physical switches is the same as the one for sustainable smartphones, I don’t think they’re going to gain much from adding the switches. The only phones with switches that I know are the PinePhones and the librem phone that has a very questionable customer service. [1]. Adding them to the phone design will mean expensive constraints, making the overall cost even more in which case you’re either shedding money to increase market share or you’re narrowing your target market to the librem-phone size. At that point, what’s the meaning of this exercise?

It actually does, specifically it indicates the degree to which something has changed - importantly, if action is required on the user's end (breaking releases). Or if there have been significant changes or a milestone was released (e.g. 1.0.0 means it's stable for production)

As a developer I can tell at a glance how much work this will take and whether to escalate it.

That being said I'm not opposed to a bit more detail "Thingy 3.12.10 - Miraculous Monitoring Metrics". And also I don't see a point in non-technically focussed products using this style either.

I know Framework somewhat have their hands tied by modularity, but for the 13 I think the next thing they need to focus on more than anything is battery life. At this point it’s not just MacBooks that greatly outperform the FW13 on that front, but also several competing x86 laptops. For the price it’s difficult to justify taking such a steep hit, even with repairability factored in.

It's undeniable that ads work. This has been endlessly researched for decades. Trust me, companies don't just throw away billions without spending millions to see if it is worthwhile.

My girlfriend works in the beauty industry on the product side. Even more important that having a good product, is having a good marketing campaign. Products live and die by their advertising. And believe it or not, lots of people click on ads.

Step back and evaluate the situation considering your thoughts on the whole population, people in general, not looking at it from your perspective with people you associate with.

Feature request! :)

I'm a Gemini Pro subscriber and I would love to be able to use my web-based chat resource limits with, or in addition to, what is offered here. I have plenty of scripts that are essentially "Weave together a complex prompt I can send to Gemini Flash to instantly get the answer I'm looking for and xclip it to my clipboard", and this would finally let me close the last step in that scripts.

Love what I'm seeing so far!

Author here. Thanks for reading!

Considering the release announcement as part of sprint planning doesn't mean eliminating maintenance work. The release announcement is just the top N user-impacting changes in the release, so not every bit of dev work requires justification to the end-user.

The lesson I learned was that when I have a maintenance-heavy release, I needed to ensure that we have at least some work that's user-facing that we can present to users in the release announcement.

> His natural talking speed is already >=1.5x that of a normal human. One of the people you absolutely have to set your YouTube speed back down to 1x when listening to follow what's going on.

I wonder if there's a way to automatically detect how "fast" a person talks in an audio file. I know it's subjective and different people talk at different paces in an audio, but it'd be cool to kinda know when OP's trick fails (they mention x4 ruined the output; maybe for karpathy that would happen at x2).

Wouldn't an unspent, untaxed amount of money also come back to the government as private individuals spent it? Your model assumes that tax revenue is coming from a sector of the economy with low velocity of money.

I have heard this suggestion before in the context of overcoming suboptimal risk intolerance (like right after a crash) but for it to work you would have to derive the tax revenue somehow from people who were not spending money. That's one thing I've never understood about Keynesianism.

I think there's a middle ground here that would be best. The "bad" example tells you exactly what changed, but not why you might care. The "good" example attempts to give lots of context but takes a while to tell you what actually changed.

Just a small title change would help a lot: "Create events 10x faster with new Duplicate button"

That's a shitty "solution" that doesn't even solve the issue - the result will still look bad on at least one monitor and you're wasting energy pushing more pixels than needed on the other one.

People make fun of Chrome being a RAM hog but I'm having more issues with FF than I ever did with Chrome. For some reason on reddit specifically FF will randomly freeze for a few seconds, my cursor will stop rendering on top of it (like it's going behind the window) and it won't accept inputs. If I keep typing through it it all appears in the window after it unfreezes. Also FF will regularly take multiple gigs for random tabs like Youtube if I leave them open.

Tldr it might be more of a firefox problem than a framework problem.

For a similar situation to Trump bombing Iran and only notifying a few members of Congress:

1983 Granada 1989 Panama 2011 Libya 2012 Syria

The 1990s actions in Yugoslavia were done without fall declaration of war, but Congress was more fully engaged in saying no at least.

The 1991 war against Iraq was approved, in part, because the administration allowed a witness to flat out lie to Congress about the horrors of the Iraq invasion of Kuwait.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq was approved, in part, because the administration lied to Congress about weapons of mass destruction.

I mentioned these last two because they make a mockery of the act itself, or of the US congress, or both...

I would like Framework to go the System76 route and adopt a Linux distro that they can very finely tune for the Framework laptop. Macbooks have the benefit of MacOS being completely vertically integrated. I don't see Framework putting this level of effort in, even on the OEM Windows side of things like other OEMs such as Dell do. Their software needs to be better.

Hmm, with Claude code at $200+tax, this seems to be alternative which comes out at free or $299+tax a YEAR if I need more which is great. I found that buried at developers.google.com

Gemini Pro and Claude play off of each other really well.

Just started playing with Gemini CLI and one thing I miss immediately from Claude code is being able to write and interject as the AI does its work. Sometimes I interject by just saying stop, it stops and waits for more context or input or ai add something I forgot and it picks it up..

It's about the immutability of the network at runtime. But I really don't think this is a big deal. General-purpose computers are immutable after they are manufactured, but can exhibit a variety of useful behaviors when supplied with different data. Human intelligence also doesn't rely on designing and manufacturing revised layouts for the nervous system (within a single human's lifetime, for use by that single human) to adapt to different settings. Is the level of mutability used by humans substantially more expressive than the limits of in-context learning? what about the limits of more unusual in-context learning techniques that are register-like, or that perform steps of gradient descent during inference? I don't know of a good argument that all of these techniques used in ML are fundamentally not expressive enough.

I think of it like the xz backdoor. A long time investment of goodwill over months before you tighten the noose.

The more sophisticated attempts seemingly do not straight up ask for cash. They offer an investment opportunity on a scam website which will report the investment doing well, so the victim will independently invest more money.

It's strange how some of these countries don't take action on their own behalf, if only to preserve their international reputation and the reputation of their citizens abroad. India is a great example. Do Indians not realize how much damage they've done to their reputation by allowing scam call centers to flourish? Are they not aware of

> DO NOT REDEEM

Imagine Americans living in small towns with few to no Indians, and their only association with Indian accents is someone trying to steal their (or their parents' or granparents') money.

I wonder if it uses Significant Location Change monitoring—which apparently works around “Always Allow” location permissions, and would be consistent with allowing location “once” or “while using the app” (which Lyft, I believe, requires as part of delivering its actual service). It also might explain why only SFO: is SFO one of your Apple-determined-and-enumerated “Significant Locations”?

Politically charged opinions aren't necessarily associated with culture war identity. People can have individually reached conclusions. My individually reached conclusion is that the big 3 are obsolete manufacturers of last centuries technology.

If the big 3 US auto makers can't keep up with technical innovation, they should go bankrupt, displaced by more innovative competitors.

If the tri-opoly can't be displaced by domestic competition, it should be displaced by foreign competition.

Funny thing is, a lot of the System76 tweaks aren't specific to their system (or OS) at all. One popular example is the system76-scheduler, which you can install on pretty much any hardware or distro for the same responsiveness improvements: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-scheduler

Kinda leads me to believe the whole "vertically integrate my Framework" shtick is a snipe hunt.

One more suggestion: Please remove the need to make a project before we can use Gemini API. That seriously impedes our motivation in using Gemini for one-off scripts and proof-of-concept products where creating a project is overkill.

Ideally what I want is this: I google "gemini api" and that leads me to a page where I can login using my Google account and see the API settings. I create one and start using it right away. No extra wizardry, no multiple packages that must be installed, just the gemini package (no gauth!) and I should be good to go.

>A bad narrative is hard to shake, even if it’s unfair.

It's objectively fair. Bluesky is heavily dominated by US democrat politics and nothing else.

>Yet, based on how commentators are writing about it at the moment, you’d never know that there are lots of thriving communities there.

By what metrics do you measure this? perhaps is why you seem to be on your own and are upset at all the others worried about the decline.

>Bluesky has grown significantly over the last year, though its daily active users are perhaps not what they were at the beginning of the year.

So its declining is what you're saying? But your entire article is 'ignore the haters'

>You would not believe the number of hot takes out there about this discussion point, many frustrated with the overtly political tone of the network, some complaining about a lack of “ideological diversity,” whatever that means.

Hey folks,

I constantly hear developers who have tried AI saying "it's not there yet" when discussing leaning on AI for code. This is a workflow I've developed over the past 2-3 years and now it's formalized into a little project called: Wrinkl.

It's a tiny CLI + folder convention that:

scaffolds a .ai/ directory inside your repo (wrinkl init)

lets you spin up “feature ledgers” (wrinkl feature user-auth) where you jot down intent, edge cases, test plans, etc.

snapshots lean context files you can paste (or soon auto-feed) into your LLM so it stays grounded

adds a simple archive command when the feature ships, so your context window stays small

Repo: https://github.com/orangebread/wrinkl (MIT)

Open to feedback and discussion!
What If You Could See the Edges of Your Own Knowledge?
by 2r1in | 2025-06-25 16:18:31+00:00
How do we really know what we don’t know?

Not in a philosophical way. I mean practically — in the trenches of learning, building, creating.

We skim. We binge. We collect endless mental notes. But when we pause to reflect, it’s surprisingly hard to answer:

What do I actually understand deeply?

What do I think I understand, but don’t?

What’s missing entirely from my mental map?

The scariest gaps aren’t the ones we’re aware of. They’re the ones we never notice.

We’re Overeducated but Under clarified The internet taught us how to consume knowledge. It never taught us how to see our own understanding.

We take in content, not clarity. Familiarity becomes mistaken for depth. And sometimes, we just don’t know we’re stuck.

Imagine if there were a tool that simply asked: “Tell me everything you know — and I’ll quietly show you what’s missing.”

No grades. No corrections. No courses. Just a mirror to your mind.

Sounds weird, right? Maybe even uncomfortable.

I Built Something Like That… But I Don’t Know If It Should Exist This is not a pitch. I’m not even sure how to explain it.

All I’ll say is:

It doesn’t teach. It doesn’t test. It just listens to your knowledge — then maps out:

What’s clear

What’s shallow

What you missed without knowing

You don’t even realize it’s doing that. Until it does.

Now here’s the strange part:

I have no idea who this is really for.

Would You Even Use Something Like This? Here’s the real reason I’m writing this:

I want your opinion.

If a tool existed that could quietly expose the edges of your understanding…

Would you want that?

Would you use it to gain clarity, or would it feel too invasive?

Would it excite you — or freak you out?

Would it be useful for:

Writers?

Developers?

Independent learners?

Strategic thinkers?

People who crave feedback — but not judgment?

Or… would this just be too strange for the world right now?

I’d Honestly Love to Hear What You Think This isn’t about building hype.

It’s about asking a question I can’t answer alone:

“If someone did build a tool like this — would it even matter?”

Let’s talk in the comments.

No links. No names. Just a quiet idea — floating here — waiting for real minds to respond.

The person I replied to used the phrase "home value growth" in relation to a rapidly developing town.

Definitely anecdotal, but I know of several families which decided to move to certain areas which were rapidly developing at the time based on the projected value growth from the planned new developments. For example, lots of people I know moved from Dallas/Plano/Richardson area to Frisco during the explosive growth of Frisco to get in on that rapid development growth, buy a house cheap today in seemingly the middle of nowhere which will become a massively developed area in the next 10 years, sell the house and move to Prosper where the same will happen, on and on until I guess we hit Oklahoma. I know people who moved to The Colony when the rumors of the Grandscape development started and talk of Toyota moving to the area, expecting home values to rise.

I'm sure people living in places where development is a lot more static probably don't buy with these ideas in mind. But from what I've seen again in again in DFW and Houston and Austin and San Antonio it seems to be a pretty common mindset.
