Settings -> Interface -> "Notify me about additions or changes..." to disable it, by the way.

Thanks, but it's still pretty scummy how hidden that is. This could have just been a checkbox on the pop up.

Yeah absolutely, I don't disagree.

I presume they mean South East Asia.


I see the pendulum has finished its swing from

> I HAVE NO TOOLS BECAUSE I’VE DESTROYED MY TOOLS WITH MY TOOLS.[1]

to

> TOOL SEARCH TOOL, WHICH ALLOWS CLAUDE TO USE SEARCH TOOLS TO ACCESS THOUSANDS OF TOOLS

The worst part is, there are now two control panels (the other is called "Settings"). Some settings are in both, while others are only in one or the other.


I bet nobody knew/wanted to touch that code.

So they just wrote something worse with less features in React.

Peak web development.


No, they absolutely know. They've been very very slowly migrating stuff over to the new Settings panel bit by bit. If you look at what's in Control Panel now, it's maybe half as much as what used to be in there ten years ago.

That said, it's insanely ridiculous that it's taken 10 years to get it even halfway done.


Yes, and that means that settings in one edition of Win 11 no longer exist in the next one as they rewrite the settings code.


Chlorofluorocarbons, microplastics, UX dark patterns, mass surveillance, planned obsolescence, fossil fuels, TikTok, ultra-processed food, antibiotic overuse in livestock, nuclear weapons.

It's a defensible claim I think. Things that people want are not always good for humanity as a whole, therefore things can be useful and also not good for humanity as a whole.


You’re delusional if you think LLMs/AI are in the ballpark of these. I’ve listed things in my comment for a reason.


You're the one who made the comparison...?


There was some confusion. I originally read Wiseowise's comment as a failure to think of anything that could be "useful but bad for humanity". But given the followup response above I assume they're actually saying that LLMs are similar to tools like the Internet or Wikipedia and therefore should simply not be in the bad for humanity category.

Whether that's true or not, it is a different claim which doesn't fit the way I responded. It does fit the way Libidinalecon responded.


That thread is a fun (though frustrating for them!) conversation to read through.

After about a hundred back-and-forths getting the guy with the actual hardware to try different commands, I was thinking to myself man, maybe he should just give him remote access to work on the target PC, this is torture for both of them. And then I see him comment:

> Honestly I'm thinking of this and maybe something insane like organizing ssh access or something to quit torturing Nadim with building and rebooting all the time

And Nadim replies:

> Haha, sorry, but there's no way I'm giving you SSH access!

> I’m fine with continuing with tests!

Which is fair enough! But was funny to see right when I was thinking the same thing. Great perseverance from both of them.

Was slightly disappointing they they moved off GitHub to Discord eventually so after all that, we miss the moment of them actually getting it working!


I just read it too and now I think I know what the suspense novels robots write for each other will be like.


I also enjoyed reading through it, but wish I'd seen this comment first and avoided missing out on the moment of success too. :)


If you ever did this as a larger Kickstarter type project, I wonder if it'd be possible to get stepped faders so you could physically click-click-click-click through each semitone.


This is a cool idea, but you can switch between major, minor, chromatic and pentatonic scales so the interval between notes changes depending on how many there are so having fixed clicks wouldn't work in that case.


> If Apple didn't run such a closed ecosystem, other hardware vendors would step in and be happy to sell a form factor that 3% of the market uses.

There aren't any decent small (less than 6") Android phones either.


There is a wide variety of form factors available in the android ecosystem. Whether or not they fit your definition of "decent" just depends on how much you prioritize size:

I don't really count foldables but I hadn't seen the Jelly Max. I stand corrected, looks like a great phone.


Foldables get this job done well. My (OG) Pixel Fold is a great size & aspect ratio while folded, easy to use one-handed, but has a giant screen when you open it up. The newer Pixel Folds and the other foldables on the market have all grown the screen vertically but they're still more compact than most flagships.


Maybe a more acceptable statement than saying LCDs are unpleasant: eInk screens are generally more pleasant for reading than LCDs.


I'd like to add, it's really nice when good people get recognized purely for their work, rather than because they're loud enough to be noticed. I very much appreciate people like yourself that take the time to look for the quiet ones like this.
