I own one and there's nothing shameful about it. It's basically CNCed to Apple's standards, just without the logo. The cool thing is since Studio Displays work on Windows too, with Thunderbolt motherboards you can have a setup that's visually the same as a Mac but is actually a PC.

P.S. Does anyone know how well Studio Displays now work on Linux? The best I could get it to work was on Ubuntu, where it basically worked out of the fresh install. X11 KDE on Fedora was a close second. Couldn't get it working on Wayland whatsoever.

I have a suspicion most of these types of agent-targeted SaaS will die out once the human equivalents implement their agent layers / MCPs.

Agents having no way to pay for their use is one thing; lack of deep integration within the business domain is another (e.g. if you're a Git provider, you'd probably want to offer CI/CD, PR workflows, release management, publicly discoverable repos etc., and boom - you just copied GitHub)

We're actually meant to be less of a consumer product than i think you mean by this (but i may have misunderstood).

We're more targeting enterprise as storage infrastructure provider – selling directly to platforms who generate a bunch of code and need a place to put it.

end users wont really know we exist.

There's probably still going to be a box of hard drives in a datacenter somewhere, it does make sense to have a layer to manage the agent interface, rather than letting agents completely loose on all your storage.

Agreed, but I'm making a distinction between the platform (whether it be Cloudflare Moltworker or a Mac Mini), which a human chooses for the agent to run on (for now), and tools designed to be discovered and consumed by the agents themselves (e.g. code.storage, AgentMail).

As the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist says, "Attention is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being"

I'm so sorry for you and your wife's loss. At the same time, I'm struck by how strong your wife and you are navigating this tough situation. From an Internet stranger to another, may the loving memories of your daughter live on.

I feel like this needs a (1997) on the title.

OP might be thinking about something like this paper "Rig My Ride: Automatic Rigging of Physics-based Vehicles for Games" by Katz et al.

Why the condescending tone, OP has a point. Techniques like RigAnything[0] exist - whether this is within the scope of this project is another topic, but this seems like a reasonable request to me (especially considering how many x_2_y-named projects are ML related)

This kind of work is way more difficult and involved than it appears to be. Sure, you can auto-rig stuff, but it won't be perfect and will require tweaking. Rigging alone is also very far from a complete result

And they even use Nix, to add to the craziness.

Nix isn't so exotic anymore. Every company for which I interviewed about a year ago used Nix

And every person I met today had a parrot on their shoulder. Doesn't really mean it applies to the general public (here meaning most developers out there).

I'd say <1% of all developers world wide have even heard of Nix.

It is used in production much, much more widely than Haskell is, though it remains far from the most common way to do builds or deployments.

I call it my "homeprod" - but then, what happens if your infra spans multiple sites, and the cloud? Then it's just "prod" at that point. Probably best to just call it your "personal infra / servers", or if you have a family, "family servers".

This is big. Hopefully no more relying on macFUSE which is unmaintained and a pain to install and work with.

MacFUSE is well maintained and has regular releases. Apple silicon support is good, and I just installed an update a few days ago.

It does require a KEXT which requires lowering boot signing strength, which is annoying
