Emacs vterm can do this. It's the only terminal emulator I'm aware of that can, because it seems nobody else cares. It can even backspace and delete all the text selected.

Moltbook is a copy of the many years old r/SubSimulatorGPT2, which was itself a copy of SubSimulator. Not seeing the AGI here exactly, but it's cool I guess. Frankly, I saw more creativity from plain GPT 3. The typical molt book p

A bit off topic: but what's with the ram usage of LLM clients? ChatGPT, google, and Anthropic all use 1+ GB of ram during a long session. Surely they are not running GPT 3 locally?

As a young person, I get perfectly normal corporate advertisements on YT, with the very rare porno dating ad. My parents on the other hand, get a never ending stream of the shittiest scams, AI voiceovers of Joe Rogan and Zelensky, dick pill

Nobody can stop you from putting a black screen over the ad, or a scenic nature video.

I have been using Google’s models the past couple months, and was surprised to see how sycophantic chatGPT is now. It’s not just at the start or end of responses, it’s interspaced within the markdown, with little substance. Asking it to cha

A lot of these people who say 100+ wpm or whatever really mean the 15 second test on monkeytype, that only tests words like “the” “that” “because”. It’s different than what an oldhead might mean by 100 wpm ;)

Qwerty is top-row heavy. In my experience, a natural fast typer will naturally lean away from home row "touch typing" to a top-middle row hover style of typing. You have to use an alternate layout to really grasp what home row typ

I tried Huel in college as I disliked cooking. I found that I ended up drinking far too much, for each meal you need to mix a large quantity of water with the powder. I ended up eating a diet of sashimi and tartar, tastier and probably bet

I do wish they continued on this track instead of apple intelligence. I should be enable to click generate audiobook in iBooks and have an audiobook made in any voice of my choosing. Open source solutions are far too slow on macOS, and subp

Fair. Your characterization of AI music is a bit ambitious. AI still can't write a breathtaking short story or poem: it can write a mediocre one of standard themes indistinguishable from a student, but that's it. I would argue tha

The default macOS terminal app has CMD UP/DOWN to move to previous prompts. This is one of my pet peeves about terminal apps, they seem to lack this command?

Emacs has completion preview mode, which shows the completion inline in grey text. This is what I prefer using at it does not block text, and I am only interested in the top completion 99% of the time.

YouTube has become especially horrific. It seems a couple years ago they gave up on video search- after 5 videos it will suddenly start recommending random videos under “you may like”. If I watch one UFC video I am flooded with recommendat
