I wonder if Apple dropped it because of some proprietary licensed IP, such as Intel WiDi, making the feature possible.

No, it was when the displays went to Retina. There was no way to drive them at 5K externally. Thunderbolt didn't have the bandwidth to do so.

They dropped it before the switch from Intel chips; my 2015 iMac could do it (I think) but my 2019 Intel iMac can't.

There are a few Facebook pages I actually like, and using this debugger will remind me of one of them: https://www.facebook.com/GrumpyNietzscheanCat/

The shift you're imagining is kind of like what happened with ASIC-based Bitcoin miners. There was a time when the people who made them realized it would be more profitable to just keep them in-house vs. distribute them for sale. If that happened with OpenAI/Anthropic, it would be mighty unfortunate. A majro reason why it's unlikely to happen (IMO) is the training of these models is aided by external users feeding in new content.

I love that he designed a Jugglemeter.

Tbh, I was drawn to this post's headline because lately I've been having a great time using the Juggler coding agent. I recommend it if you're in search of something powerful with a web interface that works well on mobile devices: https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler


I'd really like to know what you did to get stable v6. My ISP is also limited in a similar way - no IPv6.

i happen to have v6 address allocation, im using the ranet3 to directly route v6 traffic to nearest bgp exit node

in the near future, when the tool is more mature (namely control plane and web ui), i’ll potentially open up a low cost (or hopefully free) tunnel broker


Commenting as an outsider to both projects, one possible motivation to fork Helix might be this PR:

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675

Helix was originally meant to be a "batteries included" editor without any scripting/plugins. That PR intends to change this and so there is a bit of controversy around it. Overall it looks like the PR will eventually be merged.

The Mitos fork could have be made for totally unrelated reasons. This is really just my speculation.


From the commit history it rather looks like an ai agent speed run of a single guy frustrated about this not moving fast enough.

helix has a plugin system in the works, but unsure when it’ll actually land. lots of folks are already daily driving it, myself included.

The most recent activity in that PR comes from mitos.

Treesitter grammar for each language does not count as plugin? I think I had seen some dynamic libs when I tried to build it…

I commented on that PR a few years ago and got downvoted, primarily for asking why they're using some random person's pet Lisp-in-Rust project over something more established, even Lua like Neovim is. I still don't understand why, but in the age of AI looks like we can build anything we want instead.

Actually steel¹ is quite capable, R5RS compliant, aiming for R7Rs and it's embedable like Lua. Probably easier to use in a rust project.

I know about steel as that is the Lisp I was referencing but it is unused anywhere else unlike Lua, and therefore only really maintained by one person which is not how I'd want a critical language to be used in an editor. Looks like Mitos is looking into using Wasm, from their Reddit comments.


Hasn’t seen it, authors not related

Looks very cool though. I’d definitely like to somehow “generalize” Jeffy to be more of a universal classifier. Although adhoc models pretty much always beat general ones at classification


Citroen, Renault, and Peugeot are putting out some great compact EV cars this year.


The lost source code of Westwood Studio games cannot stop me now.


The incentive was there before and this latest development serves confirmation bias.
