That’s an extraordinary claim.
- Over commit is a design choice, and it is a design choice that is pretty core to Linux. Basic stuff like fork(), for example, gets wasteful when you don't over commit. Less obvious stuff like buffer caches also get less effective. There are certainly places where you would rather fail at allocation time, but that isn't everywhere and it doesn't belong as a default.
- The question that isn't answered completely in the article is how useful are the pipelines for these startups? The article certainly implies that for at least some of these startups there very little value add in the wrapper.

This problem is in no way unique to tmux. You have the same problem with any terminal app that takes over drawing, eg vim. That said it is also easy enough to fix.
The solution is OSC52, a terminal escape sequence that the emulator can use to interact with the system clipboard (kitty, alacritty, iterm2 all support this). The first step is to get you a script that writes out data in that protocol. Its easy enough:
Now you can do this:#!/usr/bin/env python3 import os, base64, sys clip = base64.b64encode(sys.stdin.buffer.read()) for pid in (os.getpid(), os.getppid()): # so that osc52-copy can be invoked by processes that themselves do not have a tty. cty = f"/proc/{pid}/fd/1" try: fd = os.open(cty, os.O_WRONLY) if os.isatty(fd): os.write(fd, b'\x1b]52;c;') # the actual escape sequence os.write(fd, clip) os.write(fd, b'\a') break except: continue finally: os.close(fd) else: raise SystemExit(f"no tty")$ grep my_thing < some.txt | osc52-copy
And whatever got into osc52 is now on your system clipboard.
Tmux (set -g clipboard on) and nvim (unset clipboard) both have native osc52 support, and the script above can be used to integrate other places.

Think of just the work that goes into having an assembly line customized for a specific form factor. To keep price, quality, and profit in line with their other phones I think the answer here is clearly yes.
- Is this completely correct? Coffee isn’t homogeneous. There are particulates and oils that will separate out. Anything pushed to the top will also move towards the edge given the shape of the droplet. There is also capillary action to consider. Seems like there should be more than one effect that leads to the edges of the stain being darker.
- > No, all the carbon in food plants comes from CO2 from the atmosphere.
Yes, this is what I said.
> the natural gas used in making fertilizer is a source of hydrogen and energy, but not a significant source of N.
There is no nitrogen at all in natural gas.
Plants cannot use atmospheric nitrogen on their own. They depend on either bacteria or humans to create some usable form of nitrogen. Any carbon captured in a plant that depended on a fossil fuel source of nitrogen cannot be considered carbon neutral, unless you draw a useless system boundary.
- I think you might be missing the point too. Yes, the carbon in the food we eat is where the carbon in our breath comes from. But the carbon that we used to get the ingredients in that food didn't certainly come from the atmosphere (e.g. half of the nitrogen used in agriculture comes from fossil fuels). You can't be a perfectly optimal salad eating machine. One of your fellow humans will ruin the equation the moment they buy produce from the modern supply chain.
- We are carbon neutral against the earth as a whole. The problem is that sequestered carbon is now in the atmosphere. It doesn't matter how many people are breathing out carbon. It matters where that carbon came from, and where it ends up. Of course we now have so many humans that the majority of them are dependent on fossil fuels to survive, and as others have pointed out, not just for energy.
- I get your point, but good luck with that. Most (every?) influential figure had has something problematic about their person. If you can't see the good through the bad, then you will quickly find yourself with nothing.
- That was certainly how the original tech demo worked.
- I don’t get it. Either say “I’m ready to pay now” when the bill is dropped off, or just flag the server down later when you are ready. What problem are we solving here?

You should be able to click left right on the prompt to see different responses. Sonnet 3.7 with extended thinking notices the issue, and then chooses to totally ignore it with no explanation.
From Claude for those who don’t want to click:
Wait, I notice a difference from the traditional riddle. In this version, the surgeon says "I can operate on this boy" (affirmative) rather than "I can't operate on this boy" (negative).
This changes the nature of the puzzle somewhat. If the surgeon is saying they CAN operate, then we need to explain why this is surprising or seemingly impossible, but actually possible.
The traditional answer would still apply: the surgeon is the boy's mother.

I don’t think it is shown that the flame retardants used by cal fire are the same as those in the article from nyu.
- That depends on if you are the controller or the target, no? My usual use case for i2c is for talking to some peripheral from a microcontroller, where I am acting as the clock source. Clock stretching applies to the target side, at least when you are talking about SCL.
- USB is also tough to bitbang also it has pretty strict timing requirements. Compared to something like i2c where the clock only advances when the pin is explicitly toggled.
- I’ve had good luck containing ooms with cgroups. I’m not sure if there is a state of the art for handling oom conditions beyond what Linux does. If anyone knows and can recommend some reading I would appreciate it.
- Haiku/sonnet/opus are easily the best named models imo.
