I gr8ly appreC8 you sharing your layout reasoning and screenshot. They surely seem impressive and effective for keeping an immense amount of code detail in view at once. I like what you're doing there.

Long ago, I standardized all my terminals and code on 160-columns so that I can easily split any of my vim sessions into 2 80-column views whenever desirable (like especially when using vim to view diff between versioned files).

I know my style must be quite daunting for anyone but me to attempt to grok but I think at least a few out there might like to see it or try it.

My Octology project on GitHub contains several 80-column screenshots first, then the bottom ones are 160-column. Please feel free to let me know what you think. =)

Hello 3seas (or Timothy Rue?),

Your ideas intrigue me, && I am interested in subscribing to your newsletter. ;)

Seriously though, while the double-negative in the subject may be significant, purposeful, && comprehensible... I really got hung up on the following quandary from your linked response document:

It's a hypothetical scenario about not not denying this 3rd interface for inspection && autom8ion of A.I. components?

Reading further into your description of a probably different evolutionary direction helped clarify your exercise, but sheesh I really struggled there for a while. Maybe your message benefits from such seemingly convoluted phrasing, but could possibly convey your intent more directly with re-wording (as well as maybe explicitly st8ing, rather than just implying, that it's specifically A.I. "software development" that you're pontific8ing about)?

I have a growing interest in Intelligence Augment8ion (&& Artificial Intelligence by extension), so your detailed 2-page description of this "Ethics Viol8ion" from neglect for this 3rd User Interface (especially regarding your cogent listing from "fundamental elements of Abstraction Physics") has illumin8d && inspired my perspectives.

Thank you for composing && publishing this (even if your comment initially appeared somewhat off-topic && to be merely shilling for aggrandizement of whatever your personal pet ideal ethics might be). I intend to investig8 && contempl8 these issues more concertedly ahead, && am gr8ful for such newly inform8ive resources.

Out of curiosity, how closely does something like the OpenAI project come to enabling you to employ your list of "unavoidable Action Constants"?

Cheers, =)

P.S. Sorry I'm only getting around to this thread 2-weeks l8 now. It was in my back-log of tabs that I'm glad I could return to. Hopefully /. will let me reply && you still might notice, even though the thread has grown stale?

I am a big fan of PFU "Fujitsu" HappyHacking keyboards (with Control-key beside 'A' and Escape beside '1', where they're best for vim) and the Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC models are my favorites.

The couple versions I've dealt with have had pretty decent hardware support under each most recent Ubuntu GNU/Linux distributions I have run on them, including handling the stylus being calibrated for the touchscreen, and the side-buttons generating usable events.

Some newer models have more artist-friendly tablet sensors made by Wacom, which I would really like to try out when I can next afford to.

They seem to be pretty well-made, durable, reliable, have easily replaceable batteries, and are usually capable performers in CPU, GPU, RAM, and hard drive areas.

I have remained generally quite pleased with LifeBooks all around, and expect to stay loyal to Fujitsu until something drastically changes. I don't yet have much experience with the more recent models, but I would still feel confident to recommend them to any hacker in the market for something similar.
