TL;DR

This is a course on how to use Microsoft compute to maximise their profits


Too long for you to read? It's about running AI on local devices


This is a really cool little interaction, thanks for sharing!


What doesn’t justify shipping chromium these days?


The ChromeOS terminal (hterm[1]) is actually a pretty good terminal, so even a terminal might justify a browser context. Blink[2] on iOS for example uses it.

[1]: https://hterm.org/ (although in the way they do Google seems to have lost interest in updating that site and the GitHub repo, there's still fixes in the upstream Chromium repo)

[2]: https://blink.sh


How does it compare to https://xtermjs.org/?


Sanity.


Ansible is one of the best examples of needless complexity I’ve ever interacted with.


Ansible is the easiest tool for configuration management to onboard and start using. Great documentation, large community. It is as complex as you want it to be and it's complexity scales with your infra. ofc YMMV.


I disagree. It requires to know Python, YAML, Jinja2, own set of commands. It requires careful developing of playbooks. It is slow. It is complicated for non-standard cases where you don't have ready for using modules.

Is there a better approach? I think yes. This is Pyinfra - just pure Python, no additional DSLs. Also for configuration there is Terraform (but there are also some limitations).


Exactly my annoying exert as well. LLMs are good at debugging not writing code.

It’s just a statistical rubber duck, “what other obvious (common) things haven’t I thought about yet Mr duck?”


Shortcat basically does this. It indexes a lot of native AX APIs and also menu items

Curious. Can anyone tell me if it’s windows thing, specific filesystem thing, source control system thing or just a style thing, naming all files and directories in caps?


It came out not long after Windows 95, so it will have supported earlier versions of Windows, which had the 8.3 character all-caps filename limitation.


No, writing them over and over is literally what evolves computer science. Not having to write them over and over is what improves software. They’re different.


> No, writing them over and over is literally what evolves computer science.

If this is the way computer science evolves, it is safe to say that it evolves at the same pace as life.


Not exactly the problem docker solves…


I was literally using Arc because of the ability to hide most of the userchrome.

Every time I open split views or tabs I curse. I've said this in the past but layering view multiplexors has to be the most stupid modern "super-user" trap. You have the ability to open multiple browser windows and composite them side by side, use it.

Does anyone know of any other browsers that are chromium based and have very little features aside the ability to hide most of the UI?
