  • Look at his blog on stallman.org. It comes up all the time there.

  • He consistently describes LLMs as "bullshit generators" so the LLM being local doesn't help that much. It's better for privacy but that's a separate matter.

  • LLMs

    OMG. I'm shocked RMS let THAT happen.

  • Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11.

    Why bother? Just upgrade everyone to Windows 10.

  • We have Ask Lenny. Do you really want a bigger version?

  • retail price of $699, but it’s available for pre-order for $594

    Lol, no.

  • I learned a new word yesterday, "sloperators". Use a word 3 times and it's yours...

    Added: why do you say the new paid support tier isn't AI-based too? Asking people to pay to talk to a chat bot seems par for the course.

  • If they really think you don't know then interrupt and say that you know. If they just want to be listened to, which happens a lot, then listen if that's ok for the situation.

  • Lookup "splog".

  • Cameras and stuff, meh. Cordless charging and NTN (satellite) messaging are kinda cool. Also the Micro USB connector sucked. USB C is much better.

    Software has mostly regressed, I think.

  • Does he have a cover of "Greenland Whale Fisheries"?

  • My buddy who was a 2300-ish player suggested the book "Chess The Easy Way" by Reuben Fine and I read it. It was written around the 1940s and is still a great book. "A Primer of Chess" by Capablanca is also great. And for total beginners, "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" is surprisingly helpful (it's almost entirely about back-rank checkmates).

    Other than that, play a lot of slow OTB games. Don't play speed chess. Check every move carefully to make sure it's not a blunder. To do that, you have to spend time thinking at each move. That's not compatible with speed chess. Ancient advice is to literally sit on your hands while deciding a move. That is to slow down the impulse to move before you have completely thought it out.

  • I actually looked up edible paper online some years back and it is a thing. Might be messy though.

  • I've never driven a really big truck but a 24 foot U-haul isn't that big a deal. It's weird at first but you get used to it.
