In the video, they apparently didn't actually check up on the answer it gave about the next eclipse. The April 8 2024 total eclipse is best seen in North America. Exmouth Australia was where the April 20 2023 total eclipse occurred. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-20...
Not to mention that voice based Q&A has been done by everyone at this point. Should have focused on the differentiators they have with that form factor.
I also use Nix, and agree with these caveats. My personal experience is that it can be hard to initially set up Nix, but once you do, it's rock solid. It's particularly great for sharing config across machines. Here's config for my personal dev environment for instance: https://github.com/mjhoy/dotfiles/blob/main/nix/nixpkgs/conf...
I tried Nix while ago when NixOS made news in HN. You are right, it is difficult to set it up. Eventually I give up on it and tried to remove Nix from my macOS, let say it is difficult to remove Nix as well. I tried their command line to remove Nix and it didn't remove it even with sudo. Nix been sitting on my macOS for a month since it couldn't remove it completely. I realized I just have to go to Disk Utility to dismount/remove the Nix VHD and then ran the command line again which finally got it removed from my OS.
Removing Nix is easier on operating systems where root is root (normal Unix-likes without a lot of filesystem-related security policies enabled). Nix only uses a separate APFS volume on macOS because Apple disabled writing to /.
The way that affects the uninstall process should be documented.
I spotted some people who've recently worked on Nix's install scripts and uninstall procedure elsewhere on the thread. You can file an issue if you think they'll miss your comment :)
The mockingbirds and catbirds I’ve heard are easy to identify, not from a particular sound but from how they string sounds together. It seems to me they copy notes, but not songs.
Yep, exactly. Around here we have a bunch of mockingbirds and blue jays, and you'll here the mockingbirds adopt some of the harsher sounds of the blue jays, but they usually surround them with melodic trills. It makes for a pretty dynamic contrast - reminds me of a Jazz solo.
In the second or third one there is a truck coming and the box for it doesn’t appear on the display until it’s quite near, and then it disappears and reappears several times before the truck passes...
