  Yes, fully agree. They make absolutely no sense at all.

  Considering that predicting the next word from context is the one thing LLMs are really good at, I just don’t understand how none of these developments have found their way into predictive keyboards.

  I’ve actually switched to ThumbKey and while I don’t think I’m faster with it (yet), it’s at least so much less frustrating and that’s worth a lot to me.

  You can go much deeper than 10 fathoms without supplemental oxygen, half the people reading this right now could do it with some training.

  The world record is 117 fathoms on a single breath.

  I think both torx and pozidriv have their place. Torx for any screw that needs a lot of torque, is in a hard to reach place or for really small screws.

  When I have lot of screws in a simple application, like driving them directly into wood, I prefer pozidriv though. Due to the conical profile, the bit just automatically slides in correctly. Also, torx just has way too many different sizes.

  Fuck Philips. Pozidriv is so much better.
