Yes, they have data many don't have access to. And, they make "educated guesses" based on this data as well as the expertise available to them. Their predictions may certainly be embellished as well. However, their statements

A carefully audited risk management system should always sit in between trade generation and execution. So, direct broker access is definitely a terrible idea. Vibe coding the generation of simulated trades is another matter. That has val

Oh, yes... I didn't mean to imply that the newer "AI modes" aren't better and that we're somehow standing still. More that the differentiation is made much starker due to so-called "enshittification". Whet

It seems the relentless pursuit of greater profit has diluted "the old search interface" toward simply regurgitating adverts. Customers realize this, even if subconsciously, and so the new "AI Modes" offered by search co

If the sender eventually proves to be a freeloader, they get added to an auto-respond list. I hope to enhance the auto responder with AI soon but for now it just tells them I'm busy and to bugger off. You never miss anything that impor

It certainly depends on the kind of writing too. Very technical writing should benefit from a computer. Poetry... probably not as much.

Obviously I can't speak for op, but... spellcheck and copy/paste alone make paper more difficult to work with. Basically, writing involves a lot of re-writing and revision. Electronic documents make that easier.

I'll also "Ssh + GNU Screen + emacs" occasionally on my phone and I'll be honest... it's way better to throw a bt/mini keyboard in the mix. After that you can have a mostly normal desktop experience w/ the

I find "impossible" hard to believe. Perhaps it's so difficult that it's not worth the opportunity cost though. You may have to remove the disk or use a JTAG programmer, or heck... maybe even re-solder something. The mor

Just ask AI how to mirror w/ wget. But, beware that if the site relies on javascript, wget may not be enough. In that case you'll need to program some kind of headless browsing. Didn't the internet archive (archive.org) take

Cool, ffmpeg commands can definitely get thorny. Since your README.md starts with an example of ffmpeg and gripes "This is not a normal sentence", it would be nice to simultaneously show the precise analogue as "ffhuman"
