@tomwarren I'm well aware of what is being measured here - FPS is a relatable number that lets you know how long the delta between two things feels. 94ms is an effective 11fps response time. It is not "misleading" except that I perhaps rounded down instead of up :)
English
if we're misleadingly conflating 2 different perf metrics (time to first frame latency and fps smoothness) then just factor in OS boot time so it's less than 1fps 🙃The reality is the new Run loads faster (94ms) than the existing one (103ms) that nobody has ever moaned about
Casey Muratori@cmuratori
Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

@ir_foo @benedictk__ Hey. Sorry, we accepted the first 80 people until we reached the venue’s capacity. Afterwards we approved only when someone would drop out.
I didn’t want to reject automatically everyone else.
But we will organize more and bigger hackathons in the future.
English
Go attend your local meetups.
I am trying to be involved in everything Vienna, Munich and Zurich.
I am not saying go to the OpenAI and codex one only - join any of them. The German speaking AI community is great, small and talent dense.
Get out there and meet everyone - it won’t be like this in 6 months.

@benedictk__ @mrlesk hah @mrlesk, I applied to the last weekend's hackathon, but nobody ever reviewed my application (it was left pending) 🥲

@mitsuhiko @thorstenball Well, here's some extra nostalgia: Win98 CDs came with extra themes you could install (if you knew about them).
Sadly, it looks like they weren't in gpt's training set - which makes it completely unusable IMO :P
English
@thorstenball Damn it's good. Just that it decided to pick EFNet instead of FreeNode. That is me asking about what my desktop looked like before I moved to Linux.

@mitsuhiko @lucasmeijer How do I remap this?
When using a tiling window manager (I use Hyprland), Super+Shift+Up/Down tends to be already mapped (it moves window tiles up/down).
English
@lucasmeijer In ghostty and a few you can use super+shift+arrow up/down to jump between prompts.

the worst thing in pi is that when the agent writes a long summary (=always), you have to scroll up quite far, and it's very hard to see where the agent message begins.
drives me nuts 20 times a day
English
@thdxr @mitsuhiko dude… how?!
just the scrolling & text selection weirdness is killing me, I couldn’t imagine suffering through that every day
English
@mitsuhiko been using tmux as my primary entrypoint for 100% of what i do for a decade now
English
I think tmux is great software for an agent. But how people can actually work day to day in tmux is beyond me. It's such a horrible UX and hack.

@IanRountree Starlink is supposed to be the opposite of centralized?
Maybe in the upside down world 🤣
English
While rolling Starlink out internationally Jon Criss started asking what other essential services could be put directly in people's hands rather than relying on centralized, aging, or nonexistent infrastructure.
He landed on the most vital of all... water. He teamed up with Andrew Harner, who also spent a decade at SpaceX, and today they launch their first product.
Access is a simple, rugged desalination system that allows you to make your own drinking water.
Pre-order now for just $8 down!
Jon Criss@jcriss_1
Pre-orders are live! We started Vital Lyfe to solve a fundamental problem. Today is the first real step. Access is here.
English
@mitsuhiko Sure, that'd be perfectly fine. I don't have a strong preference on how it's implemented, as long as the update notification doesn't break my flow.
Idk what it is (probably years of phone & social media conditioning), but I somehow can't ignore notifications...
English
@ir_foo Would you want it to update behind the scenes and then take effect on restart?
English
If something really bothers you about pi, give us feedback please :)
English
@kenwheeler I bet it wouldn't be so repulsive if it had wheels instead of legs...
Imitating 4-legged predators just triggers something in the brain that makes you go HELL NO

i actually couldn’t even make up something this bad. i’m speechless.

Atlanta residents react to the new robot dogs patrolling their apartment parking lot They speak to the dog and there seems to be a live operator talking back The person speaking very clearly is likely in India based on the accent There are plenty of videos of these dogs calling the police on people, so that means someone sitting in India is patrolling our streets and calling the police on Americans These robotic dogs are equipped with 360° cameras, thermal imaging, headlights, sirens, speakers, and sensors Despite this they are not fully autonomous, they typically have a live human operator monitoring the feed remotely

You can look at apps' private data on android, if you have root. So I've been poking around in there and some apps do some actually insane stuff. ANDROID DATABASE HALL OF SHAME

@rightnowish @blueskykites You'd let someone level 1 it at your house for free?

@ir_foo @blueskykites You could also just pull up to some random house and level 1 it for free.
