Do these kinds of products have to sell as many units as a phone targeting the general population? I mean, most of the target audience will hear about a new release / iteration from blog posts, tech news sites, etc., so marketing doesn't need that much resources.

Other than that, I guess it's also not necessary to fill every casual store like MediaMarkts, etc. because unlike my grandma, tech savvy people can order online.

But I'm not knowledgable on these things, so it's mostly just me thinking out loud.

(As an outsider, ) I suspect it's because the Rust rewrite was big enough to bump the main version number.

I really like Helix. I didn't dig into Neovim much but Helix has pretty nice IDE-like features that I always missed from vim (without riddling it with plugins or using SpaceVim or such). Check it out, maybe you'll like it as well.

I'm not sure about that. The "normies" around me love AI. My mother and mother-in-law drive me crazy when I ask for advice and they copy the answer directly from ChatGPT. Not to mention the stupid images generated by AI.

That is true in most cases I guess but just look at the current product in OP. In 3 months, at the pace AI products evolve, we might "all" be using the next AI coding harness and Claude Code could be a thing of the past. So it's not a long lasting tool like curl for example.

All I'm trying to say that generalizing like suggested might exclude some useful things.

I think it's also an option to anonymously tell the world what will happen. That way you keep your job and still people are at least aware. Unless if you are one of like 3 people who know about it and they would immediately know it was you.

Do you have some source I could read on this? I don't really use Gemini but I would be interested to know more.

Isn't the outcome / solution for a given task non-deterministic? So can we reliably measure that?

I am not a C programmer but I always find these low level languages intriguing.

I am wondering though: when does one pick C3 for a task/problem?

Regarding the KDE aspect: my preferred DE is KDE and I installed CachyOS with that. Everything seemed to go smoothly and using it was also a good experience.

With that said, I ran into an age-old problem: sleep.

(For reference, I have an AMD Ryzen CPU, RTX 4070 super GPU and some low-end motherboard and I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers.)

I searched the web for hours and tried a lot of things, including different kernels, but nothing helped. In the end, after I couldn't find anything new on forums, reddit, blog posts, etc, I asked chatgpt for some ideas.

It had me change BIOS settings, kernel params, nvidia module params (or something like that - I'm not well versed in this topic tbh), etc, but in some way waking up from sleep still did not work.

After it suggested some undocumented kernel param with the nvidia kernel module, I said that's it, let's try something else and reinstalled with Gnome.

To my surprise, it worked without issue. I've been using it like this for weeks now.

I have no idea if the explanation is good or not but chatgpt said it's because my hardware + proprietary nvidia driver + plasma wayland was a bad combination.

I'm not very confident about the quality of this study... It already begins like this:

Evidence suggests that chronic sensory stimulation via excessive exposure to screen time may affect brain development in negative ways. Excessive smartphone use may increase the risk [...]

Do they consider "screen time" only to be "smartphone use"? Is it better to use a tablet? Or PC / laptop? What if I use a 6.7" screen with my computer? Does it count as "bad" screen time?

Also, do they take into account what you do on said screen? Reading a book, learning something or binging tiktok videos, watching the facade people put up on facebook / insta don't sound the same to me.

I think one could say that Remix is simple in the sense that there is less magic and reinventing the wheel like in the case of Next.

It's not simpler as in less features.

Recently, there was a post on reddit where people posted the amount of money content creators are getting from views with ads.

I don’t remember the numbers well enough to quote it but it’s barely anything. I recommend to look it up.

And the biggest surprise for me was that older videos get even less.
