I saw something a while ago that was aimed at carers in care homes, exoskeletons to make lifting and moving residents easier. That seemed smart to me.


Primary driver for me (finally) learning tmux.


I think you can see this when you look at the downvotes on that GitHub issue on any comment which suggests gating AI access behind a paywall.


Sadly, seems to be abandoned. Last commit a year ago.


That was surprisingly awesome.


Yep, this. I’ve switched to Claude for a while (because I can’t afford max plans for both) and nobody in the real world has any idea what it is I’m talking about. “Oh it’s like ChatGPT?”


Claude is also difficult to consistently pronounce for a non-English speaker. Sometimes people dont say that because it can get misinterpreted. ChatGPT is something easy on the the tongue and very difficult to mis-pronounce.


I know a lot of people who refer to it as ChatGTP which I assume stands for German treebrained performers

I suspect they chose that name because of the proximity with the word "cloud".


The CEO is also more puritan than the pope himself considering the amount of censorship it has. Not sure if they are even interested in marketing to normies though.

In that case, you should try OpenAI's gpt-oss!

Both models are pretty fast for their size and I wanted to use them to summarize stories and try out translation. But it keeps checking everything against "policy" all the time! I created a jailbreak that works around this, but it still wastes a few hundred tokens talking about policy before it produces useful output.


Surely someone has abliterated it by now


Ah yes, the Latin-originating French name that has a variant at least in every Latin language is hard to pronounce for non-English users.


Might want to consider a different name, given there’s an open source CI/CD tool called GoCD already. https://www.gocd.org/


Yeah, who’s going to pay for your single person AI-powered vibe coded calendar organiser product when nobody has a job?


Fwiw, that’s actually an En dash not an Em dash. You need a Shift in there to get an Em dash.


It depends on the keyboard layout. Some (US) do have it like you described, but others have the dashes reversed.

Both make sense, to a degree. On the one hand you can argue that the em-dash—being longer—should require and extra key, but on the other hand it has more uses so it should not have the extra key to be more accessible.


Ah I hadn’t considered keyboard layouts.


Not OP, but one I came across yesterday was `date`.

Linux: `date -d '10 mins ago'` Mac: `date -v -10M`

There's loads of tiny differences like this. Often just old versions, and you can pull in the latest with `brew` or something.


Another one is GNU find assuming the current directory if omitted, while BSD find explicitely has to be told the directory to search in.

It's nothing complicated, but breaks many scripts if you only test them on Linux (more or less the same problem like case-insensitive filesystems).

I'll have to add, though, that one could argue that OSX is the one behaving like "traditional UNIX", since most of it's tools derive from BSD-Versions. GNU tools are the ones that deviate from this (which I still find more convenient in day to day use).


Sure, I know there are lots of differences between GNU and macOS; that's not what I'm asking about.
