I'm typing this on one right now. I honestly thought the same but I got used to it within a day or two of use. Its muscle memory at this point.

My muscle memory is for vim and not for eating a cactus without getting punctured.

its the same as banning knives because they can be used to hurt people. we shouldn't ban tools.

with that analogy, OP's solution is akin to banning the use of knives to harm people, as opposed to banning the knife itself

If I undestood correctly he's unsharpening knives.

Or making knives that turn into overcooked noodles if you try to use them on anything except vegetables and acceptable meats

and who decides if I want to use a knife to cut mushrooms instead? see where I am going, there are (or could exist) legit cases when you need to use it in a non-standard way, one that the model authors didn't anticipate.

But we do ban tools sometimes: you can't bring a knife to a concert, for good reason.

Not really, its like banning chemistry sets cause they may be used to create chemical weapons.

Not sure the comparison works when it does all the work for you

I've had very little success mumbling "you are an expert chemist..." to test tubes and raw materials.

In this case, image generation and editing AI is a tool which we managed just fine with until three years ago, and where the economic value of that tool remains extremely questionable despite it being a remarkable improvement in the state of the art.

As a propaganda tool it seems quite effective, but for that it's gone from "woo free-speech" to "oh no epistemic collapse".

Too bad it's over. Great show.

This is a US or local problem primarily. At least where I live there is a law in place requiring public ev chargers to be available with credit card payments and are forbidden from needing users to subscribe.

I never had problems with them, just avoid having lose cables. Mine works pretty much unattended in a 110sqm flat, just need to fill the water tank and empty the waste water every 4-5 days.

HN does target similar minded people world wide though.

same.. I'm on Windows.. clicked download only to realize its mac only.

The chip is not smaller than 3.5nm; but a component on the chip is that small.

The difference I believe was that past failed windows versions were not intentionally bad, they were well intentioned but failed to achieve the goals, with windows 11 it's like they are deliberately making it worse.

It gets updated but breaking changes are not that many and always well justified. Most breaking changes I've seen the past decade only broke if your code was already bad relying on non standard ways of using language features. There are tools that help with migration.
