I’ve been a very happy user for 2025, with some edge cases around the terminal not working on remote shells. I haven’t seen any memory leaks, but wanted to say I appreciate this detailed response.
In my experience, the remote shell weirdness is usually because the remote shell doesn’t recognise ghostty’s TERM=xterm-ghostty value. Fixed by either copying over a terminfo with it in, or setting TERM=xterm-256color before ssh’ing: https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo
Got these many years back after having been posted here. Very happy with the purchase, but wouldn’t order again as my wife hated the smell. Highly recommended everyone order these at least once.
R2D2 is an example of one that you can buy in the gift shop (for $20k!) that was promised to make it into the park but just comes out highly supervised, occasionally.
Your conclusion seems super unfair to the offer, particularly your assumption, without reason as far as I can tell, that the author would obstinately continue to advocate for their conclusion in the face of new, contrary evidence.
I literally pasted the sentence as a prompt to the free version of ChatGPT "Who reassigned the species Brachiosaurus brancai to its own genus, and when?"
and got ths correct reply from the "Bag of Words"
The species Brachiosaurus brancai was reassigned to its own genus by Michael P. Taylor in 2009 — he transferred it to the new genus Giraffatitan.

How that happened:
Earlier, in 1988, Gregory S. Paul had proposed putting B. brancai into a subgenus as Brachiosaurus (Giraffatitan) brancai, based on anatomical differences.

Then in 1991, George Olshevsky used the name Giraffatitan brancai — but his usage was in a self-published list and not widely adopted.

Finally, in 2009 Taylor published a detailed re-evaluation showing at least 26 osteological differences between the African material (brancai) and the North American type species Brachiosaurus altithorax — justifying full generic separation.

If you like — I can show a short timeline of all taxonomic changes of B. brancai.

As an author, you should write things that are tested or at least true. But they did a pretty bad job of testing this and are making assumptions that are not true. Then they're basing their argument/reasoning (restrospectively) on assumptions not gounded in reality.
I saw a post on Reddit the other day where the user was posting screenshots from ChatGPT about how they were using ChatGPT as a “Human OS” and outsourcing all decisions and information to ChatGPT. It made me queasy.
god forbid you outsource easy things to technology - that's how humanity has been progressing since forever. but sure, throw away your calculator and do it by hand if that makes you feel any better.
Well, if your calculator has a loose wire that sometimes flips a random bit somewhere, you might find that a slide rule that is consistently correct has a certain value.
Yeah I had OpenAI crank out 100 different fizzbuzz implementations in a dozen seconds—-and many of them worked! No chance a developer would have done it that fast, and for anyone who needs to crank out fizzbuzz implementations at scale this is the tool to beat. The haters don’t know what they’re talking about.
Yes, we fully realized the lessons and have stopped wasteful fighting and overconsumption and have embraced a cohesive, sustainable lifestyle to protect the only life we know of in the universe. It is wonderful.
