This article makes the assumption that Bob was doing absolutely nothing, maybe at the Pub with this friends, while the AI did all his work.
How do we know that while the AI was writing python scripts that Bob wasn't reading more papers, getting more data and just overall doing more than Alice.
Maybe Bob is terrible at debugging python scripts while Alice is a pro at it?
Maybe Bob used his time to develop different skills that Alice couldn't dream of?
Maybe Bob will discover new techniques or ideas because he didn't follow the traditional research path that the established Researchers insist you follow?
Maybe Bob used the AI to learn even more because he had a customized tutor at his disposal?
Or maybe Bob just spent more time at the Pub with his friends.
Note: Ghostty follows the same pattern as Kitty where they a) use their own terminfo, b) distribute it when ssh'ing (it gets pushed to the remote server) and c) added it to ncurses so that it will eventually go away.
I think you've done an excellent job running the community for Ghostty and it is a prime example of how to do it right. From the Discord to Github repos you've been a class act all the way through and have pushed folks to be good, civil internet denizens. Much respect.
If anyone cares to search through Github, they will see loads and loads of Issues and PRs created by Mitchell in many of the related Open Source projects that Ghostty uses/references. From zig to kitty to supporting libraries, Mitchell has been trying to get the terminal community working together and have some sort of standards. A lot of them are like "X does this, Y does that, why are you doing it this way? Can we all do it this way?" and then having Ghostty follow the most reasonable solution (or supporting several!).
I recall two things that people complained about with the Mac support
- the USB-C charging was terrible because if you turn off the monitor it stops charging the laptop. I believe the same happens when the monitor sleeps. There is also this weird connectivity issue that happens if the mac with USB-C goes to sleep and the monitor is in use with another port. It keeps detecting/undetecting the USB-C port. I think it basically comes down to a lack of consistent power connection from the monitor to USB-C port. I knew about this problem and I just make sure my mac has a power brick plugged in.
- the 2nd problem was that their isn't any Dell software for mac which means that all settings and switching is done through the buttons. Luckily, someone hacked this together.
Overall, the monitor is absolutely fantastic and I would buy it again. I spent at least 40 hours researching monitors and looking for a high resolution (4kish), 32" or larger, IPS monitor. Everything else was either super expensive, out of stock/no longer made or had major problems.
I bought the 34" curved Dell monitor (U3419W) with the KVM switch built in and I am very happy with it.
Dell's Mac support is pretty bad but being able to hook 3 computers upto the monitor works very well. I use usb-c, HDMI and display port.
I found a command line tool for mac that sends the correct command codes to the monitor to make it even easy to switch machines. My one laptop has the touchbar and it is easy to add buttons to it for monitor switching.
For anyone that is balding but wants to keep their hair very short, I have been rotating between 2 Panasonic wet/dry beard trimmers for the last 10 years.
It is wireless, adjustable and I shave my head in the shower.
I have this older model and it is great but I do not know about the newer versions.
Locking and preventing flashing of firmware only happened in China.
