  • I've been having this disrupting ideas for for years, and it seems that every year I (sadly) get one more:

    • actually open source software all the way down to the kernel and drivers.
    • user replaceable batteries.
    • micro SD slot.
    • 3.5mm audio jack.
    • zero glue.
    • free schematics.
    • parts available for purchase.

    Does the phone costs double? I don't care. Shut up and take my money!

  • What about serving your nation by being the captain of a (current) $800,000 electric bus?

    Less gay (lol) and more useful to the country.

  • It's actually quite neat. It is a three part archesta:

    1. i3 key binding, say, Super-l that triggers a script of mine.
    2. The script itself rofi-menu takes a single argument, a text "menu file" that describes the menu. Say, my-layouts.menu
    3. The menu file is super simple. It looks like this:
      text
        
Menu Title
[shortcut] # <exit | stay> # <label> # <command>
[shortcut] # <exit | stay> # <label> # <command>
[shortcut] # <exit | stay> # <label> # <command>
...

    The script parses this file and generates the menu.

    • shortcut is the key binding that will immediately trigger the menu item.
    • exit | stay defines whether the menu closes after the option is actioned (sometimes you wanna keep the menu open)
    • label is what you see in the menu
    • command is... well, the command

    One more thing, if your hostname is "my_machine", and the menu file that you gave to my script is "my-layout.menu", then the script will actually prefer to use "my-layout.my_machine.menu" if it exists. So you can share your config across multiple machines and have them pick the appropriate menus depending on where it is ran.

    A menu example could be:

      text
        
Layouts
l # stay # Rotate Layout # i3-msg toggle all
f # exit # Toggre Floating # i3-msg floating toggle

    So to change i3 layouts, I type:

    • Super-l (opens menu)
    • l rotate layout (rows, cols, tabs, stack) and keep the menu open. If I keep hitting l it will keep rotating.
    • Esc to close the menu.

    To toggle the window floating:

    • Super-l (opens menu)
    • f to toggle floating. The menu closes immediately after.

    If you are interested, I can share the script with you :)

  • Kind of serious question...

    If you are in the tiling team, is this some sort of pattern in you? To be dissident of the "mainstream" way of doing things?

    Do you see yourself also taking "the other", custom, method for most areas of your life?

  • Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion

    Jump

  • Hahah, yeah, maybe I am doing that. that's why it is a shower thought, not a research paper proposal.

    The thought comes from my (kind or recent) study of the algebra/calculus under LLMs (at least the feedforward and backpropagation part of them)

    The interesting part is that my ass is non-differentiable at x=0:
