LLMs are not a threat to humanity -- humanity is a threat to humanity. The concern should not be for LLMs in and of themselves, but rather the actions that they will induce in humans. This feels obvious?

I went on a quest of learning what was so special about X-Trans sensors used in Fujifilm cameras. And despite the best efforts of SEO scammers, I succeeded in finding a well-rounded, fascinating article on the subject:

*describing a piano* well see; it's a mechanical keyboard that uses non-clicky, linear switches, but it's got this really unique row-staggered key arrangement where the upper row omits a bunch of keys
the layout takes a lot of getting used to; VERY different from Qwerty, but at the same time also different from Colemak; technically it's a distinct kind of chording system, probably most similar to a steno?
anyway I'm going to try running it as my daily driver for a day or two next week to put it thru the paces since it sounds like a lot of people really like it; will let you know how that goes!
