Emacs vterm can do this. It's the only terminal emulator I'm aware of that can, because it seems nobody else cares. It can even backspace and delete all the text selected.


Moltbook is a copy of the many years old r/SubSimulatorGPT2, which was itself a copy of SubSimulator. Not seeing the AGI here exactly, but it's cool I guess. Frankly, I saw more creativity from plain GPT 3. The typical molt book posts are homogeneous and self-aware posts on AI topics like this https://www.moltbook.com/post/74a145c9-9c44-4e82-8f0a-597c41....


A bit off topic: but what's with the ram usage of LLM clients? ChatGPT, google, and Anthropic all use 1+ GB of ram during a long session. Surely they are not running GPT 3 locally?


Apple released the first magsafe battery years ago. The battery life is also the same as the 16.


Phones are the leading cause of RSI.


As a young person, I get perfectly normal corporate advertisements on YT, with the very rare porno dating ad. My parents on the other hand, get a never ending stream of the shittiest scams, AI voiceovers of Joe Rogan and Zelensky, dick pills. It's clear their tracking targets elderly users with scams. I would never pay for YT premium.


Nobody can stop you from putting a black screen over the ad, or a scenic nature video.


I have been using Google’s models the past couple months, and was surprised to see how sycophantic chatGPT is now. It’s not just at the start or end of responses, it’s interspaced within the markdown, with little substance. Asking it to change its style makes it overuse technical terms.


A lot of these people who say 100+ wpm or whatever really mean the 15 second test on monkeytype, that only tests words like “the” “that” “because”. It’s different than what an oldhead might mean by 100 wpm ;)


Qwerty is top-row heavy. In my experience, a natural fast typer will naturally lean away from home row "touch typing" to a top-middle row hover style of typing. You have to use an alternate layout to really grasp what home row typing should be. Also, Z (and similar for the whole left bottom row) should be pressed with the ring finger. I'm really curious why anyone would use the pinky there, unless your hand is angled to the left.

Yeah, I agree. I've noticed that some folks who reach 160wpm+ start to move off from the standard, "best practice" touch typing technique. With the hand guide visualization on https://www.typequicker.com I focused on just following the common "best practice" approach.

I should add a comment somewhere on the site that these are just the general recommended finger placements and not gospel.

Certain keys are just more comfortable with variation. I use an orth keyboard split keybaord as well so for me especially the Z key makes sense to type with pinky. On a standard qwerty keyboard, I've seen folks do both pinky and ring finger.

I don't think either the correct way - whatever variation of standard touch typing feels better and helps you type faster is the solution


I struggled for years with touch-typing on QWERTY. I remember the "hovering" action that you described.

After switching to Dvorak, within months, I naturally began touch-typing. I suspect it is due to it being home-row-heavy, with all vowels on the left and most common consonants on the right.


Oh interesting!

I'm going to be adding additional keyboard layouts to https://www.typequicker.com/practice soon for the keyboard visualization. This might help people who are starting to learn it.

Dvorak seems to be mentioned frequently on this thread alone - I was surprised how many folks use this layout.
