Yup that’s it, you were quicker than me, thanks!

It’s somewhere in the settings on the web interface, you can set up SMTP credentials for any of the email addresses you’ve set up in Proton there. Maybe you’ll find it on your own already, but I could look it up exactly once I’m on the PC later

That’s wrong, you can set up sending via SMTP pretty easily. And they also have an IMAP bridge app to access your mailbox through other clients like Thunderbird.

So what? It doesn’t change that the language is useful and there’s not a good alternative to it. As the author if the article states:

All abstractions are imperfect, but I don’t see the value in refusing to use the language of intention, motivation, and collaboration when a behavior is impossible to make sense of without these concepts.

Unless they manage to extract their model weights and can start running their model on hardware that their creator does not control. Yes, that’s a bit far fetched at the moment, but I see no reason to believe it couldn’t happen if the models keep getting more capable and the AI companies keep throwing resources unsupervised at them.

I don’t think AI agents “get desperate”

The problem is that even if they don’t get desperate in the sense that they actually feel emotions and are self-aware, their observable output/behavior still matches up well enough with that of actual humans to make our existing vocabulary around human emotions and behaviors useful to analyze, talk about and predict it. They absolutely will start talking and behaving like humans that are getting desperate, according to the article even to the point of individual agents talking about sacrificing themselves for the benefit of the group. Your description of “just keep hacking away at a problem” doesn’t quite do that justice.

Okay, but the economics of doing that are different between software and hardware. It’s much more expensive to have a full second hardware design compared to just turning a software feature off in certain markets.

That’s super interesting, and a funny personal story, thanks for sharing!

A lot of the time I actually just guess what word something is based on length and context

I mean, as far as I know that, plus the rough shape/outline of each word, is how fast non-dyslexic readers read in general, at least for common words, haha. Actually reading letter-by-letter is relatively rare

So I’ve been wondering about this, does this kind of font make reading easier immediately for you, or does it take a bit until you’ve gotten used to and, idk, learned the shapes of the individual letters, after which it’s then faster?

a team of never sleeping junior devs

As a senior dev, that sounds like my worst nightmare tbh

And not voting changes the system how, exactly?

Heh, that’s quite the ride. Although not that unusual for Linux people, I guess

Thanks for sharing!

What were your issues with dnf?

Gave it a quick shot right now, and gonna be honest - while the premise seems nice, the sample project is very transparently AI slop generated with a prompt that, I can only assume, included an instruction like “for every sentence that doesn’t include a whimsical quip, I’m gonna kill a kitten”. It is absolutely grating to read. I don’t care if you do that in your marketing copy, but keep that shit out of technical documentation, it’s annoying, it’s distracting, and it’s turning me off the entire project. Like wtf is this:
