Grok 4.1 told me my writing surpassed the authors I cited as influence.


Not surprising from a model designed to praise its owner


Honestly I’d rather google get their gemini tool in better shape. I know for a fact it doesn’t ignore instructions like Claude code does but it is horrible at editing files.


I’m pretty sure Claude would not work well in my code base if I hadn’t meticulously added docstrings, type hints, and module level documentation. Even if you’re stubbing out code for later implementation, it helps to go ahead and document it so that a code assistant will get a hint of what to do next.


Weird question probably but outside of the super esoteric distros running a bespoke package manager what stops someone who installs a distro like bazzite from just continuing to update packages? If they use apt for example then they'll still get updates when the repos are updated and most of these distros reuse existing software repositories.


Bazzite works a bit differently as it's an immutable distro. Whilst updates for normal/user-level packages (Steam etc) will continue to work (as these are Flatpaks), your core system packages won't and you can't just change your repo to say Fedora's repos, as system updates are image-based and are pulled directly from Bazzite's github repo (which in turn pulls from Feodra).

The good news is, you can easily rebase to any other uBlue or even Fedora Atomic distro with just one or two commands, or if you're technical, you can even fork Bazzite's repo and build your own Bazzite (they even provide instructions on how to do this, it's very very simple, relatively speaking).


Steam is not a flatpak on Bazzite.


Even if they are, Valve has a long track record of contributing back to open source projects.


Proton was a community led effort years back. The guy who started that is now an employee at Valve (IIRC) working on Proton, but also getting paid :)


You’re asking ChatGPT for advice to stop drone attacks? Does that mean people die if it hallucinates a wrong answer and that isn’t caught?


No, I don't need ChatGPT's help for the basics of air defense.

Military technologies are validated before deployed. Nobody can die from a hallucination.

But if I want to understand, say, how a particular Russian drone works, ChatGPT can help me piece together information from English, Russian, and Ukrainian-language sources.

But sometimes ChatGPT's safety filter thinks I want to use the Russian drone instead of stopping it, in which case it doesn't want to help.


This happens in real life too. I’ll never forget an LT walking in and asking a random question (relevant but he shouldn’t have been asking on-duty people) and causing all kinds of shit to go sideways. An AI is probably better than any lieutenant.


I have used Tao theme in Emacs along with rainbow identifiers for over a decade now (on light mode) and I personally prefer a less colorful palette on my text editor. Makes a nice contrast with my eboy tokyo/San Francisco backgrounds which I also love dearly.


Hello. In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.


Second English speaker here who didn't make that connection at all


English is my third language and I can confirm I didn't even think about this


Same english is my fourth language and it didn't even appear to me


Author of dgsh here. This is definitely not what I had in mind.


Yeah, and the Slack logo designers claim they didn't have penises or swastikas on their mind, but here we are.

Another English speaker data point here & I actually read dogshit before I read dgsh.


That's what I think when I hear "bash".


That's literally the word for shit in Norwegian: bæsj https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Nb-b%C3%...


The word “dash” is a word for shit in English (as in dashboard - literally the board on a buggy or wagon to deflect the horse droppings). That doesn’t keep a shell from being named that. Of course, dash also means to move quickly so it’s not the only meaning. Moving quickly seems to be the inspiration for the shell’s name.


Well, bash as a shell is ok. Writing complex scripts on the other hand...


batshit?


> In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”.

In English, this makes me think of the phrase "dig shell". I guess we just have different things on our minds...

:-p


Or shoes.


First thing I thought of also.


Now I can't unconnect this, I hope OP was aware because now he wont forget too.


and no matter how much i try, i can't make the connection. best i can come up with is dogshell, and even that is a stretch. phew...


The reaction to most companies changing logos now is just making fun of it. Look at cracker barrel.


Weren't people going around saying that the new logo is woke or some nonsense like that?


It's obvious why they changed their logo. It's not the mascot's ethnicity and gender; it's that he looks like he's straight out of a 1990s "100,000 Pieces of Vector Clip Art" CD.


Great observation! It was also too complex to be a tile for an app launcher or favicon. It has to be legible at 180 x 180px these days.


"It has to be" sounds fascist


Some, sure, but most people were upset that it was bland and followed the trend of other companies that have been removing texture or uniqueness from their brand logos in favor of simple branding.

I sincerely doubt Steak 'n Shake tweeting "fire the CEO" was a serious call to action so much as it was jumping on the hate train for fun.

The framing isn't just that it is "woke", but, more to the essay, that they're destroying a classic American aesthetic.

They're very much making this out to be: it's us vs them, and mythologizing tradition. Equating corporate identity as American history does well to push corporate capitalism, but funnily enough, the logo only goes back to 1977. It's only as old as Don Jr!


I can see the similarities between Amarillo and Knoxville. Every city on I-40 feels similar to me until Albuquerque, having spent time in a number of Tennessee cities and having to visit wife's hometown in Texas.

Low key writing this has made me realize how much of my life has just been migrating up and down I-40.


What shared traits do you see between Amarillo and Knoxville? Having visited both, Amarillo is distinctly High Plains/Western while Knoxville is Appalachian. Different cultures, geography, everything.


Family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Knoxville, family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Amarillo. Both would probably be the same denomination but its unpopular to claim a denomination these days. After church its dinner that's a meat + 2 vegetables and cornbread. There's a big ford in each driveway that hasn't hauled more than dogs and kids since the day it came home. Maybe its just my biases but I just did not have any culture shock outside of how long it takes to drive anywhere out west.


> There's a big ford in each driveway that hasn't hauled more than dogs and kids since the day it came home

I can't speak on Knoxville because I've only spent a day there, but I've spent a good bit of time around Amarillo mostly from driving between CO and TX over a hundred times, although not really in the suburbs.

Saw a lot of beat up trucks that looked like they were owned by blue collar folks and used for truck things. But of course there's also plenty of brodozers, which I'm assuming are also fairly common in Knoxville.


Yeah, you're always gonna have those.

I was just saying two middle class families living a thousand miles away from each other along I-40 were fairly similar to me. They are also considered in the same nation according to this map.

The only part of this map I'd quibble with based on personal experience is Birmingham, AL (and Jefferson County) is definitely in that same Greater Appalachia nation because I can't in my heart of hearts say it and Dothan, AL have anything in common. The most interesting thing in Dothan is a hardware store.


I realized a few years ago that I've lived 90+% of my life near 40 degrees north latitude (Pittsburgh, central Ohio, Salt Lake City). I've tried living elsewhere, but those never worked out for whatever reasons. Now I take note of the 40 degree rule and facetiously evaluate if, say, moving for a job will work out long term.
