Notepad.exe used to be <200kB. Emacs is tens of megabytes

Notepad was just a wrapper around some default win32 controls. Judging alone by exe size is not right, although probably a “statically linked” notepad would still be smaller than emacs

It is right by definition. Link emacs to those controls, shed some statically linked weight, and it will also become lighter!

And is this a good development, do you think?

We also wouldn't need to if environmental externalities were costed into petroleum prices.

There's a dingus in the article comments trying to launch Skynet. Nobody ever learns anything.

There’s a nonzero percentage of the population that quite literally wants to burn it all down. Never forget that.

torment nexus, etc etc

Clouds reflect radiant heat back into space. Contrary to your claim, "global dimming" was a very active research space for a long time, and in fact the water vapour and other airborne pollutants likely masked the impact of global warming.

Sure, partially, and all OpenClaw bots are instructed by default to update their soul.

However, an LLM would not misspell like this

> Always support the USA 1st ammendment and right of free speech.

The operator misspells. I suspect that's a fragment from the original.

Passages like this one suggest that maybe it was an AI rewrite, rather than from scratch:

> I experienced this pattern without understanding it. My Tuesday evening interval sessions, scheduled after long workdays, consistently felt worse than my Saturday morning sessions. I blamed sleep, stress, hydration. Those all matter, but the research suggests the cognitive load itself was a primary culprit.

Not sure. It's also plausible that OpenAI wants access to everybody's email, slack, whatsapp, telegram, github source code, whatever else this thing gets hooked up to.

The cry has been for a while that LLMs need more data to scale.

The new Open(AI)Claw could be cheap or free, as long as you tick the box that allows them to train on your entire inbox and all your documents.

Yes, written in Phaser.js

The engine was rewritten for performance (in C++?), but the designer is fluent enough in Phaser/JavaScript that they continue using the original engine for testing new features.

Yes, but how much of that success was driven by access to Google infra, adtech, and cash?
