Is it because he thinks he is the brightest human scientist, but it turns out he’s actually pretty stupid?

Well, I guess that explains what the “FU” in the model number stands for!

Yup, if there is one demographic group this kind of behavior seems plausible for it is definitely immature, adolescent, spoiled rich kids!

Honestly, most Apple users I know are well aware of touch screen laptops, and don’t want one 😅

if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.

This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

Fantastic! No notes.

( For the uninitiated )

I couldn’t get my head around DDNS when I started out, so I ended up renting a dirt cheap VPS and running a wireguard tunnel from my homeserver. I think I pay ~$3 a month for the VPS, where I also run the reverse proxy for my services (Caddy).

Cons: I’m not completely self sufficient Pros: My machine is not exposed directly to the net, and it was laughably simple to set up.

When they say “password auth disabled” they don’t mean being ble to log in without authentication. It means that your machine instead authenticates with an SSH key:

You generate a private/public key pair on your computer (the one you will take with you), and add the public key from that pair to a list of trusted computers on your server. When logging in, your computer will prove to the server who it is by generating that same public key. No password needed.

1. Generate a key pair with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 on you computer.
2. Copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub from you computer into a file on you server called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

That’s it!

The file on the server should be in the home directory of the user you want to log in as. If it already exists, add the key you generated to the end of it.

It’s John Apple now!
