“”” When I conclude that you are experiencing hunger when you say “I’m hungry,” my conclusion is based on a large cluster of circumstances.”””

Giving a machine a sensation of hunger may not be the wisest road to AGI for humanity. Just saying.

i think sensations and real world 'awareness' would be a positive, the danger would come from allowing 'it' the agency to explore variations of hallucinations, to generate a plan of action.

This is an interesting problem. Here is a potential solution that I (roughly) follow when I’m not very busy.

Start with a group of interests that has the most overlaps in terms of skills or resources needed - call these compounded projects. Out of the compounded projects, start with the one that interests you with 2 weeks of effort. If you can’t make a significant progress in that time frame, you either lack the skills, resource, or interests in them. Move onto the next compounded project.

After you finish with the list of compounded projects, review the original list and prioritize the interests based on your experience. Create compounded projects again and go at it. Repeat.

this is what I started with - the thinking is exactly that - the overlap will help not start from 0 when I pick the other thing

Crane game player: “my time has come”

I guess I know how to ask the right programming questions, because my feeling about it is it’s about 80-90% correct, and the rest just gets me to correct solutions much faster than a search engine.

To be frank, this is a terrible advice. I’m certain this person, given enough time, will come to the same conclusion as he/she is exposed to different projects and organizations.

As many posters here state, there are many instances where services are loosely coupled, developed by different team and/or at different time, and makes no sense to make into a monolith.

As you may not benefit from shoehorning a well-maintained monolith into a microservice, the opposite is true.

or basket case

I think this is essentially a portable terminal, just like the phone. Most of my work on laptop for development is to get on high-powered workstation or servers anyway. For occasionally SSH-ing with tmux session, it’s pretty great (although I can’t swap ctrl with caps, which sucks).

I do wish iPad had something to push me over to replace my laptop for that use case, but I’m too used to windowed environment.

Settings -> general -> keyboard -> hardware keyboard -> modifier keys -> caps lock

I have mine bound to esc since I use vim as my main editor, but ctrl is also an option.

As for the soft keyboard, at least in termius this is remappable in the settings (I think blink also)

Somehow “$1500 portable terminal, with some effort” just doesn’t make me feel burning desire.

YES! This was a long overdue “feature”.

Yes, it’s a bit of skeumorphism, but pencil end eraser is a great design!

It makes intuitive sense regardless of existing tool - write on one end, reverse to erase.
