I have both of these keyboards (as well as the Moonlander, Voyager and Go60).

The thumb cluster on the Glove is significantly more comfortable for me than the Ergodox / Moonlander. I never found either of the latter boards particularly comfortable. That said, I only really use the three innermost thumbs on the Glove.

The Go for me has a reasonable thumb cluster but the middle “resting” key is slightly further than what I was used to. It took a few days to adjust.

If you want something really comfortable try a Svalboard, but it requires more training.


I doubt this entirely. It might be quite difficult for said human to discern whether a simple passage were generated sans such accumulated experience in reading AI text, true. But LLMs do not converse like humans in ways that have always been essentially immediately obvious.


Have you seen how many people talk to bots these days thinking is a real person. Or that are even in a relationship with them or friends.


Sometimes I wonder if LLMs are just revealing a section of the population with untreated mental illness or if LLMs are actively exacerbating mental illness.

We might eventually regret exposing the general population to such a new technology without almost any safeguards.


Have you seen how many people form one-sided bonds with stars that don’t know they exist? Lonely people suspend disbelief to find some comfort. It’s not proof that the chatbot is indistinguishable from a human companion.


Okay, but the same could have been said about ELIZA.


So? The people who can do it prove it can be done - the people who can't don't prove the opposite. Might as well claim all math is wrong because most people don't understand it.


The linked article has a fairly light gray background with white text. I can read it, but the low contrast is just tiresome.


According to the WCAG Contrast Checker website, the contrast satisfies all the WCAG visibility criteria.

I hate low contrast more than most.

Setting browser. display. use_document_colors or browser.display.document_color_use to 0 fixes things.

It does break some stuff, like voting buttons on hn. Im happy with the tradeoff.


I have a number of 3d printed peripherals, including two Ploopy devices. Nothing seems out of the ordinary to me quality wise.


Right, because x + " " + y is more clear than of simply f"{x} {y}".

Been using python for longer than 10 years and immediately started using f-strings when I could. It takes almost no time to understand the basics.


Personally I do find the first version clearer, because it is based on general language rules.


Especially if you come from other languages. a + " " + b will be clearer to devs that aren't senior python developers. the f string thing is just a marginal improvement at the cost of alienating other devs. But it's great for gatekeeping and job security.


> come from other languages

According to Wikipedia[1] the history of string formatting goes back to 1950s. Also, basically every major programming language these days implements it in some form.

Ah, okay, it's just a troll.


But the link you shared describes a syntax that is very different.

"%T", T t

  not "{ (expr).__str__()} "

If that helps you sleep at night


I’ve used it daily almost since it was released without any real issues. But I generally do not run too many extensions or probably push the limits of my browsers.

For me, Orion’s vertical tabs are the best out of the box of all the browsers I’ve tried since I prefer their arbitrary nesting.


Depends on the platform, I expect. I love the feature set and layout, but it's been unusable for me as a daily driver on Linux from various bugs. I'll be giving it another honest go when it's out of beta.


There are fundamental realities associated to being a public figure or representative. When you are even privately held sentiments or actions reflect upon the larger organization. This reflection isn’t a purely social construct, but itself an acknowledgement of human cognitive flaws and biases that inevitably leak through to decision making.

For example, you don’t want the director of a science outreach organization to privately uptake all manner of pseudoscience, because they cannot be trusted to carry out the organization’s ostensible mission. When these sentiments come to light, said directory is morally obliged to step down.

A personal blog is definitionally public, ergo by extension reflects upon whatever organizations that person is a member of.

I say all this as someone that does not even feel the posted article is particularly incendiary.


Huh, I’ve never once had a problem with multiple monitors and macs over the last 15 years. But at most I’m running two monitors.


I have a iMac with two external monitors, and during boot it does this crazy dance where one monitor goes on, then off, then two monitors go on, and so on for a few rounds until shit settles and all three are on.


It’s a pretty literal description of what he did. If techbro bosses don’t want to get butthurt over being called out for douchey behaviour, maybe they shouldn’t engage in douchey behaviour?

Almost none of these tech leaders deserve their station except by virtue of luck or often borderline sociopathic tendencies. To flaunt it so egregiously is a bit over the top.


There is a tendency for people to treat LLMs as oracles rather than token predictors. My guess is because they can answer in seeming technical fashion about a wider range of topics than your typical human. You can take these same people, who say have zero understanding of geopolitics, and they’ll apply a layer of (often misused) skepticism when confronted with information that doesn’t conform to existing beliefs.

That’s just what I’ve seen at a personal level though.
