Today we learned about how imperialism works.

You are in luck because you can make this an alias (custom command) in your .bashrc file:

alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'

I was thinking the same, but also thinking the product itself is ai. Seemed odd the article doesn’t link to the company site.

It almost seems like it appeared out of no where. Top search result is a mastadon account that registered 2-3weeks back. Their website doesn’t even appear in searches.

Have we reached the point of circularity. Ai creating products to then write blog posts about. Just infinite hype with no real content/products.

It’s 2026, do you even need a full keyboard anymore? This year’s badge is a three-key USB macro pad with only the keys that matter for Al-assisted programming: Y, 2, and Enter. Yes, allow it. Always allow. Submit. You’ve just approved every suggestion, every file edit, every tool call.

Congratulations, you’re a 10x engineer now! This year’s badge is built around a PIC16F1455 with USB-C HID. The board lights up with 25 addressable RB LEDs 22 side-mount SK6812s for edge glow and 3 WS2812B per-key backlights. Kailh hot-swap sockets let you bring your own switches. Now that you’re the most productive person at your company, you can focus on enjoying the conference!

It’s self imposed to avoid another prohibition like event. The industry doesn’t want to be associated with the consumption of their product. Broadcast companies also don’t want to be associated with the consumption of the product so they just don’t show people drinking the product.

This already existed without “modern” ai and deepfakes. For example Elvis.

I tried finding it as I have seen the meme a few times. But there doesn’t appear to exist either in the app or on the website. There is just a faq and a normal web form to submit questions and someone will get back to you.

Although I guess they may have taken it down.

Edit: I have tried it with chipotle’s chat bot and they appear to have disabled it and it just says it can’t code as a response.

This depends on where you are located, but it’s better to be on the safe side and assume yes you will be arrested unless you specifically know otherwise.

I would assume by now most places have corrected this but I remember there being stories of how people would lose their license and then drive to bars on lawn mowers and golf carts etc. as a loophole.

And I once ate a heaping bowl of salt.

“As experienced software engineers” highlights the problem with many CAD solutions. People who design physical “thingies” professionally are generally not software engineers.

We of course need a viable solution as an open source product but a lot of this is recreating the wheel without any knowledge of how the wheel is being used or why it is even useful to begin with. So you essentially end up with a knock off version of the wheel that doesn’t work the way someone who is experienced with wheels expects it to work.

Here let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I used.

”you’re getting a new car?”

Yeah, my parents said if I get all B’s they will buy me a bar, and I got all C’s.

Why couldn’t she be the other kind of mermaid?

This is possible you just need a version of VIM that was compiled with the clipboard feature enabled.

Just a normal day in the US of A. Add it to the collection.

This person seems to think that CSI Miami pioneered the format. So of course it easy to find examples of them being wrong. CSI Miami wasn’t even the first CSI. So I am sure they can’t remember that premium cable channels that don’t have commercials exist. Let alone that public broadcasting doesn’t have commercials.

They just trained their employees using other people’s copyrighted works. What’s the problem?

You could use something like Devilspie2 to set the size/position of windows when they open.

Assuming you are using the “default” Cinnamon desktop, you could use the keyboard shortcut to maximize the window, which should be Alt + F10.

Maybe someone else will know of a native setting but unfortunately I am not aware of one.

It sounds like it’s kind of a combination different synthesis.

“What makes Alchemy so distinctive and powerful, is that it combines additive, granular and spectral synthesis into one neat package that yields a tonal range unlike most methods of synthesis.”

CAD software is made for situations like this.

Say you design a bench like they show in their example, that bench has defined dimensions length, height, depth as an example.

Then other dimensions would be considered constants, say for instance the size and spacing of the boards (slates) that are used for the seat of the bench.

These dimensions and their relationships are saved in the CAD design file.

So say for instance later on we want to make another bench with the depth of the bench increased and we want to keep the spacing of the boards consistent and assume we are going to keep the boards the same size. Well we will need to increase the number of boards that are needed for the seat.

But since we set that information up in the original design we can just change the depth dimension and the design will automatically update along with all of the linked components and design files.

Hopefully this makes sense. I will try and answer questions if it’s not clear.
