I share your “rare grip” precisely and also adopted it to alleviate pinky pain. To add another anecdote to the pile I also prefer UI elements at the top although a toggle in settings or at least a configuration file would be best. I don’t understand my own preferences on this issue though because the arguments for the bottom position are completely convincing to me. (Thumb is closer, top of screen is better used for displaying messages, etc)

Thanks for posting this. As someone who was almost religiously excited about GPT3 then progressively more annoyed that I could never get access to the point of giving up this is wonderful news. Your blog post is an invaluable starting point. Seriously thanks

Digging the aesthetic.

Just point them at a multipool and you can set it up to auto-switch to whatever "shitcoin" is currently most profitable and auto convert everything to BTC (or your output coin of choice). As someone who lived through the original GPU->FPGA->ASIC arms race it's surprising to me but you can make decent amounts of BTC with just a high end CPU let alone GPU rigs or old sha256 ASICs.

Wow thanks for the tip on "Blood-Evil" been a fan for decades and it never occurred to me. Also was really into Gescom back in the day so maybe people who like hiding data in recordings have good taste.

Well said. Reading Banks was the first time as an adult that I had hope for the future. The resulting exhilaration literally kept me up for a couple days. Later the same year he passed and it brought home to me the gratitude I have to him for expanding my conception of what a good future (in the context of humans and super-intelligence co-existing) could be.

Was skeptical about a Slate article but they pretty much nailed it.

Dumb question: How does this differ from setting the view in the file selector to thumbnails?

Thumbnails might work for a folder of images. However, QuickLook will also allow you to preview a video, Word Doc, PDF, spreadsheet, and text files including source code. It's honestly my favorite feature of the OS.

Trying to attach a file to an email, but not sure it's the right one? QuickLook allows you to view the document in the Open dialog. Once you use it, it is something you will just accept as natural and only notice it not being available on other OSes.

Linux Mint Cinnamon has this feature, with package `nemo-preview`. It even plays back actual video when spacebar'ing on an MKV file, something I can't do in macOS!
