A configurable setting might be a good idea, but I definitely see the appeal of being able to make use of a split display for various use cases - the PowerPoint presenter mode example is a good one, Nintendo DS style split games might be another, and I’m sure there are more scenarios where it would be neat to have control over and knowledge of the segments available.

> Such a career change can be challenging at first because your career can get specialized to "working for startups and early growth companies", and then big companies won't even look at your resume.

How would you suggest to approach such a career change successfully?

Funny, everything you pruned away is the reason I’m deploying LiteLLM in our platform. Having a reliable way to track token spend per customer across different services is important to us, and LiteLLM handles this well

Right — I would have hoped a while ago already that we transcend past the notion of an endpoint device. A tablet, a laptop, or a phone should all just be entry points to access my one OS instance.

You could think this a bit further still, and have all kinds of devices offer an interface to nearby endpoints with a display or controls, establishing connectivity automatically.

Right now, Apple is the only vertical company out there at scale. Maybe one of the Chinese companies might eventually get there but who is this western company other than Apple? It certainly isn’t Google or Microsoft at this point their efforts are more halfhearted me-too products, and when I say hardware, I mean in-house designed and engineered hardware not buying it from somebody else.

I'm really sad that the ubuntu phone dream was never realized

It instills into you the arcane knowledge of how incredibly mundane and unremarkable sex with very beautiful people can be, given that they are also just normal people after all. I suppose. Then again, what do I know - maybe you'll awaken with the answer to everything on the spot?

Zuck:

> While our company has a special role in the lives of this generation, this is likely particularly important for how I show up because I am the most well-known person of my generation.

My god these people… I didn’t even know you could be that self-absorbed. It’s jarring.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. We're trying for something different here.

(and particularly not unsubstantive+indignant ones, which are the worst for the kind of discussion we're trying for)

That is a lost cause, because the AI companies are above the law now. Copyright doesn't apply to them, felonies committed by them (via their agents) are not prosecuted, and if the AI bubble were to burst, they would be bailed out because by now, all American pensions and the ETFs of the rest of the world depend on them staying fantastical capital black holes.

But what we still can do is stop programming for free for Big Tech, and this license at least gets us closer toward that goal.

It’s frustrating to share a planet with poison-pouring bakers and other primates, really, when you see what humanity could be

That’s an amazing shot. Thanks for sharing!

That's a thoroughly uncharitable view. Especially in smaller orgs with a minimum velocity dictated by the company's need to survive, the amount of code required to be written just to keep up with your competitors is massive. Trying to review that all by hand, thoroughly, is draining, thankless, and tedious. You end up with a few fast movers producing most of the code, and some slower movers forced into a reviewer role they never signed up for. It's an unhealthy dynamic.
