> My understanding of brute facts, is they are free values in theory, but measured values in practice. And somehow we just accept experimental measurements of some things as the end of explanation.

What you accept as a brute fact is conditional on your world view. For most people it's going to be very little, like "the initial state of the universe" or "the constant values of the universe" etc, although the latter is not necessarily the case either.

You seem to be trying to argue that the infinite regress can be avoided, and it's where things seem to be falling apart. You're trying to leap from a simple tautology to specific metaphysical claims that do not necessarily follow, and you're just ending up with brute facts.

You're saying that all things must be explained by reality, but that's fine and consistent with the existence of brute facts. I suspect that this is at least one of the core things we are not on the same page about. Brute facts do not appeal to things outside of reality. So any argument that starts with a tautology "reality exclusively contains reality" is just not going to get you to "brute facts don't exist" because brute facts are perfectly consistent with that tautology.

Your appeal to uniqueness isn't justified either. Why must reality have that property? This is a heavy metaphysical claim that you are asserting here, it's your "brute fact" that you're trying to say isn't a brute fact.

Perhaps a simple question will help. Under your model, what determines the speed of light? I assume your only position here would be to say that it is logically necessary?

> Maybe that is a level of agreement?

We can agree that there are limits to knowledge but we definitely don't agree that all things are determined by some other thing. I don't really commit either way, personally.

I cannot speak for every country but in the Netherlands, your banking app also serves as a 2FA instrument if you place orders with your credit card. A pop-up notification will ask you to confirm if you have indeed placed the order. While I will admit that it is possible to predict such use cases and take your phone along, it is becoming a bit difficult to predict what part of some account or service's login flow will require a confirmation with your device.

nice work. vim + claude is an underrated combo - most people sprint toward VS Code extensions and miss that terminal-native workflows actually reduce context switching significantly.

one thing worth considering: session persistence is where these integrations live or die. if your claude context evaporates on disconnect youre basically starting over. the setups that stick are ones that can replay output and resume conversations cold. worth thinking about how you handle that edge case.

smart pairing. valkey's sorted sets are genuinely underrated for similarity score caching - most people reach for redis and never think about the forked ecosystem.

one thing worth considering: session boundary detection is the hard part. raw conversation dumps lose the "why" behind context switches. if you index by intent clusters rather than just embedding proximity, retrieval gets way more useful. been burned by retreiving technically similar but contextually wrong sessions way too many times.

Are the websites really that different? (i use iphone) I checked both homepages and impression I got is that Lineage is android that focuses on long term support (the name points that out) and Graphene is not android (ok?) and it's focused on security.

Your Pixel 10 is not in Lineage devices so i would also assume it's not supported. (maybe it's too new?)

Ghanaian authorities are seeking the arrest of a Russsian national who was using glasses to record himself picking up, and sleeping with, women in Ghana and Kenya. He uploaded them to social media and telegram. Was quite the story on African tech twitter last month.

I learned to program at 33 or so (in bioinformatics), my first real lesson a couple of days in: "Never ever use csv". I've never used pd.read_csv() without sep="\t". Idk where csv came from, and who thought it was a good idea. It must have been pre-spreadsheet because a tab will put you in the next cell so tabs simply never can be entered into any table by our biologist colleagues.

I wish sep="\t" was default and one would have to do pd.read/to_tsv(sep=",") for csv. It would have saved me hours and hours of work ;)

My hunch is to experiment not as a team but individually. With teams you want a bit more stability in terms of workflows. A lot of this stuff involves people handcrafting workflows on top of tools and models that are dramatically changing nearly constantly. That kind of chaos is not something you want at the team level.

I'm mostly sticking to a codex workflow. I transitioned from the cli to their app when they released it a few weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with that. I've had to order extra tokens a few times but most weeks I get by on the 20$ Chat GPT Plus subscription. That's not really compatible with burning hundreds/thousands on using lots of parallel agents in any case.

I also have a hunch that there are some fast diminishing returns on that kind of spending. At least, I seem to get a lot of value out of just spending 20/month. A lot of that more extreme burn might just be tool churn / inefficiency.

With teams, basically you should organize around CI/CD, pull requests and having code reviews (with or without AI assists). Standard stuff; you should be doing that anyway. But doubling down on making this process fast and efficient pays off. With LLMs the addition to this would be codifying/documenting key skills in your repositories for doing stuff with your code base and ways of working. A key thing in teams is to own and iterate on that stuff and not let it just rot. PRs against that should be well reviewed and coordinated and not just sneaked in.

Otherwise, AI usage just increases the volume of PRs and changes. Most of these tools in any case work a lot better if you have a good harness around your workflow that allows it to run linting/tests, etc. If you have good CI, this shouldn't be hard to express in skill form. The issue then becomes making sure the team gets good at producing high quality PRs and processing them efficiently. If you are dealing with a lot of conflicts, PR scope creep, etc. that's probably not optimal.

A lot of stuff related to coordinating via issue trackers can also be done with agents. If you have gh cli set up, it can actually create, label, etc. or act on github issues. That opens the door to also using LLMs for broader product management. It's something I've been meaning to experiment with more. But for bigger teams that could be something to lean on more. LLMs filing lots of issues is only helpful if you have the means to stay on top of that. That requires workflows where a lot of issues are short lived (time to some kind of resolution). This is not something many teams are good at currently.

Writing code is not the hard part if you're a developer.

Otherwise it's an insurmountable barrier.

I think it's a bit like writing a novel.

Everyone's got a novel in them, but you absolutely need to know how to write to get it out. Unless you can dictate it but then... you could also hire a developer.

Those without the resources to hire a developer, without the years of education and practise to code at any level of proficiency, can now realize some form of their ideas.

I just logically can't see how the increased accessibility and output won't increase the amount of interesting games, even if 99% are slop (so is fan fiction, let them enjoy it).

> Do you really need access to banking apps on the go?

Not strictly, no, but it's useful to be able to relatively-quickly check my balances (and possibly shuffle funds around between checking/savings and my credit-union-issued credit card). I could use my credit union's website for that, but it's faster to open the app and scan my thumb.

Thankfully, my credit union's app has no issues with GrapheneOS, aside from needing to enable “exploit protection compatibility mode” to keep it from crashing on startup.

Same here. I've been trying to find a "plain Android" phone but everything seems heavily customised UI by the manufacturers now.

I just found out today I can't call anymore due to 3G ending in my city

I'm keen for a Motorola Graphene and then just install Google services anyway. For me the value is being freed from manufacturers UI and software

I predict the entry level PC market will not disappear, and the memory strain will go away in a few years.

Now, does that mean you will be able to buy a laptop with 512GB SSD, decent battery life, and 32G RAM for under $500? No, "entry level PC" hasn't historically meant that. In 2016, an entry level laptop was a Dell Inspiron that had 2GB RAM and 64 GB flash storage. The RAM was DDR3 and the screen resolution was a "vibrant" 1366x768. It cost about $250, which today is about $340.

Checking online, a cheap laptop is the Acer Inspire on Amazon for $340 available today, it has 8GB DDR5 RAM and 128GB SSD NVMe. With a 15 inch HD screen, built in wifi. It's a much more capable machine for less, adjusting for inflation, than the Inspiron 11. This in the middle of a RAM crisis.

I just bought a refurbed Dell Rugged 14 Pro with 32G RAM and a dedicated ADA 500 and felt like it was light on the RAM side, and then I had stop myself and remind myself that perhaps I should focus a bit more on efficiency, because there is no amount of technological innovation that can outpace software bloat and inefficiency. Running Linux helps keep the RAM needs reasonable. But the efficiency GPU in my laptop has twice as much onboard RAM than the entry level laptop 10 years ago.

A war starts and oil prices move the same day. Sanctions hit and shipping routes reroute. A summit fails and defense budgets surge. But to follow all of this, you need Reuters open for conflicts, Bloomberg for sanctions, Jane's for military, and three more tabs for diplomacy and trade.
I got frustrated and built the app I wanted — InSnaps. It's a single feed that covers geopolitics across five domains:
Conflicts — active wars, insurgencies, border disputes, ceasefires (25+ tracked with timelines, involved parties, casualty data)
Finance & Sanctions — sanctions regimes, commodity shocks, forex, energy markets
Military & Weapons — arms deals, defense spending, cyber warfare, nuclear developments
Diplomacy — summits, UN activity, peace processes, alliances
Trade & Supply — tariffs, shipping routes, energy pipelines, semiconductors, food security
Every article is tagged by domain so you instantly see the category. The feed is personalized by country — a user in Germany sees different geopolitical relevance than one in India or Brazil.

I have one of those magsafe multi charger things that let you charge your iphone, watch and whatever you can lie on the base of the charger. I absolutely love it, since it doubles up as a bedside clock for me and it's nicer to snap things on the charger than to fiddle with the cables. I only use USB-C charging for my phone only if I need to charge it fast before leaving somewhere.

I just skimmed this but if you try any sort of color correction in a non-linear color space, e.g. display-transformed sRGB, your'e in for a world of pain.
What R, G & B mean must be known exactly, otherwise you may as well be rolling dice.

G = 1.0 has a completely different meaning in sRGB, ACEScg or Adobe ProPhoto.
And even what 'white' means depends on the color space you work in.

I started in commercials and VFx in the 90's when almost all places I worked at had poor at best incomplete understanding of color science.

Allmost all rendering, grading, etc. was done in the aforementioned (display-transformed) sRGB space.

So while there is the aspect of how something should look which I understand is a huge part of what this PDF is about, there is also the part of how to attain that look, once you know what it should be.

All of the Gulf satrapies are de facto Iran's enemies by virtue of playing host to U.S. bases in exchange for certain goodies handed to their ruling elite structures. Iran's goal is to hit them hard enough to make them pressure the U.S. to sue for peace.

Also, many of the hotels that have been targeted are ones where Iran likely had intelligence that U.S. soldiers had been moved after the bases were abandoned before the U.S. launched its "preemptive" attack.

Solvespace can also be used for 3D.

It is sad that FreeCAD gets all the attention. If Solvespace had some of it, and the development time following from it, it could get improvements and some of the cool stuff in their pipeline. That would IMO make it a much better CAD program than FreeCAD could ever become.

Most file sharing between devices on the same network still goes through
the cloud. Upload somewhere, download somewhere else. Open Slack just to
send a log to the person next to you.

Instbyte skips all of that. One command, a local URL appears, anyone on
the same WiFi opens it in their browser — no install, no account, nothing
leaves the network.

Stack: Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, SQLite. Frontend is vanilla JS.
v1.9 has channels, drag and drop upload, passphrase auth, configurable
retention, white-label support, read receipts, inline preview for images,
video, PDF and code, and inline editing. v2.0 adds Docker and standalone
binaries.

Pretty much the same in Finland. You are allowed to film/photograph as much as you want in a public place, but publishing the material might be against the law depending on the contents. Particularly the law regarding "dissemination of information that violates privacy". It's fine to publish a photo of people walking on the street, but you'll probably get into trouble for uploading an arrest to YouTube where the suspect is recognizable.

I agree with you, syntax details are not important but they haven't been important for a long time due to better editors and linters.

> But you focus on the logic and function more instead of syntax details and whims of the computer languages used in concert.

This is exactly my point. I learned logical mistakes when my first if else broke. Only reason you or I can guide these into good logic is because we dealt with bad ones before all this. I use claude myself a lot because it saves me time. But we're building a culture where no one ever reads the code, instead we're building black boxes.

Again you could see it as the next step in abstraction but not when everyone's this dependent on a few companies prepared to strip the world of its skills so they can sell it back to them.

I have read that people still use 9term. Its terminfo entry doesn't show any sign of ANSI escape code support.

If I remember correctly, ANSI-like terminal emulators in RGB mode (aka direct mode) only support 16-color and red/green/blue escape codes. Not the 256-color palette used in this article.

ANSI-compatible terminal emulators widely disagree on whether RGB values should be separated by semicolons or colons.

I have read articles (possibly on hackaday) this decade by people working on retro hardware projects, expressing frustration with command line programs that spew ANSI garbage to their non-ANSI terminals. At least one author resorted to the screen program, because it can translate some ANSI-isms to the correct codes for the active terminal.

I had genuine TeleVideo 912 glass terminals hooked up until not terribly long ago.

In any case, I don't view this as a matter of whether unusual terminals are "notable". We have an abstraction that plays nicely with them (and allows new terminal protocols to be developed). It's a POSIX standard. It's easy to use. I suggest using it.

(I'll put examples in a separate comment.)

In my case sliding my card out of my wallet is faster than unlocking my phone given the lack of consistency of the fingerprint reader of my google pixel when using my smartphone case (and I am too clumsy to use a smartphone without a case covering both sides, broke too many screenw already). Some people just leave the card on their smartphone case too.

I also see a lot of people struggling because they need to pay while being on a call or because their smartphone is just way too big to be handled comfortably with one hand given the size of their hands.

> The pokemon games are painful games to play, full of grinding, massive amounts of rng and just boring turn based combat (compared to other rpgs that exist).

As someone who was played every entry since the 90s I can't even imagine how you could come away as Pokemon games being "grindy", assuming you're talking about just playing through the story. EXP share has been a standard mechanic for the past few generations that have effectively eliminated any grinding.

I'm also not really sure where you're getting "massive amounts" of RNG from either. Sure, moves can miss but it's never consequential enough that it could ruin a run or something. At most you lose a few minutes having to run back somewhere.
