> Many folks chafe at restrictions, and they may actually be correct.

We're at least a couple decades beyond the point where a reasonable person could possibly entertain such a thought. Lack of restrictions always turns communities into cesspools. They don't necessarily die, but the people that hang out there are the ones that enjoy spending time in cesspools, and that's usually different from the vision the creator of the site had in mind.
This I have seen with photos, they seem to have uploaded in phon and then they don’t show up later and when you open again there is just empty image block.

I really hate how slow and sluggish at times notion is. Still not better alternatives with formulas and databases.
I guess it doesn't work for example when words contain dashe(s) or apostrophe(s) which might exist (for a single indivisible word) in some languages.
No.

There is no perfect system. That doesn't mean you don't implement systems. You just police them better to make sure that kind of problem doesn't happen any more.
I can certainy imagine someone trying out linux and accidentally nuking their windows partitions in doing so or having GRUB replace their bootloader and figuring out ??? to boot back to windows.
Neutral TLDR summaries are viewed as a good thing on HN. Given the rest of these comments, the theme here is pure hate for the man.
The Framework Laptop is entirely our own design and architecture, with no white-label or pre-existing ODM/OEM parts. The cost of developing a from scratch laptop like ours is closer to the mid seven figures.
> there are fixes for all these things,

No, because those are features, not bugs. If don't want them - you don't have to even think about them.

>Like, why can't I hit right at the end of a line, and move to the next line? Who thinks that is a good idea?

It's not that you can't. The idea behind vim-like navigation is that you don't press those arrows (or hjkl for that matter) in a consecutive manner (or hold) unless you really have to. 99% of the time you jump to some place in the text (a character, or line, a word, a nth line etc).
> argument from intuition - that it sure feels like we're special, and so therefore we must be special even if there's nothing in particular we can point to in favour of this notion

The reverse is no less of an argument from intuition. Yes, at first thought it’s compelling to think that consciousness arises from what we consider “material world” (see naïve realism[0]), so of course we should be able to come up with some arrangement of material world elements that creates a consciousness—but there’s nothing in particular we can point to in favor of the notion that consciousness arises from material world in the first place.

Neither position is known to be correct, it’s a philosophical issue in which you can argue for either side—but without an ability to show definite proof in favor of your take, ridiculing the other is just lazy thinking.

There is a large gap between the mechanisms of chemistry and the magic of biology that most people do not see closed until late in their education. It's a real shame that this gap cannot be closed sooner.

In undergrad I took a bunch of biology and chemistry classes. It wasn't until I took Biochemistry (a senior level class) that everything came together. The biochemistry class I took was a re-telling of all the stories you learned in molecular biology but with the tools you acquire in organic chemistry.

Equipped with those tools I relearned the Krebs cycle and photosynthesis as real chemical reactions that make sense rather than a chain of facts to be memorized.

The class left me with a deep and profound reverence for life. Every process in a cell has a mechanism that can understood with chemistry. However, the magic of life exists where those processes come together and interact in incredibly complicated ways.

It's seductive to think that we should be able to tease apart this complicated processes and figure out how "life" works, and maybe someday we will. However, it's easy to underestimate the level of complexity and interconnectedness in these systems.

Many of us understand how hard it can be to debug a distributed system. Imagine trying to reverse engineer a distributed system with tens of thousands of interconnected services and messaging queues that all just sort of evolved and were not built with clean engineering practices.
Not being algorithmic doesn't mean it can't be simulated or duplicated

(example, chaotic systems can and are simulated all the time)

But apart from that, the argument will be settled by someone that might manage to duplicate that. Or gives a more detailed and founded objection (Penrose missed all recent neuroscience discoveries for example). Until that happens, Penrose's book is more a strong opinion than anything else

Or, another possibility is that it is unable to be simulated fully but the simulated version is close enough for most purposes (including running Skynet or the Paperclip maximizer). Or plug a quantum computer to your machine and then it is fully able to be simulated.

You can press '*' in normal mode to search for the word under the cursor.
And this -
"The international team of researchers decided to examine species in this genus because they had been studied by scientists previously and were easy to grow in the lab."

There are so many fungi that haven't had their taxonomy studied let alone their genetics; so much to learn.

"The pace of advances in DNA sequencing are just mind boggling,” says Joseph Heitman, a geneticist and infectious disease expert at Duke University who wasn’t involved in the study but has investigated fungal mating strategies before. “This kind of study would have been cost and time prohibitive even five years ago.”

The fact you get drunk is very strong evidence though not proof that the material world creates consciousness.

Physical interactions impacting consciousness in a huge number of repeatable ways isn’t proof of anything but it's by far the simplest explanation.
There are additional factors that make molecules in cells not subject to pure diffusion rules. Charge depending on the pH of the area ( even if in such a crowded space it is likely not really a pH anymore), and molecular interactions. Proteins (and virtually any other molecules but proteins and to a lesser extent nucleic acids are particularly good at that) can stick or be repulsed by their overall composition (external charges, hydrophobicity) but they can also stick to each other. Biology is fascinating but you can't isolate it long from chemistry and physics if you want to understand it.
Same. 47, only started using ligatures this year (in MonoLisa) and love em.
I learned from experience that spending years at the same chair and desk can do even more damage. As part of my rehab, I switched to a laptop so I could move from couch to chair to table to standing desk easily. I also highly recommend using a motorized adjustable desk, now that goods ones are easily available and affordable. A perfectly customized height for sitting or standing is just a button push away, and I can use multiple monitors again.
yes, biology education in schools are terrible. remembering so many things actually is important, students keep reminding new thing even they in master degree...but the fun of science do not show in text book.
Have fun in other editors for a while (no need to suffer something that annoys you), and reconsider vim in a year. Its ergonomics can be frustrating at first but the design is sound enough to be valuable, fun even. And I say as an emacs user :)

You don't really move a caret around in vim, you process units of text and lines.
I think the issue is much less shiny/matte and much more high-res/low-res.

It seems to be a point of pride in the Linux community that low-res screens are sufficient. Maybe it's because only Apple has figured out how to do both high-res and long battery life/low weight in a single system. The ultrabooks (air clones) are all struggling to replicate it. My 4k XPS13 has atrocious battery life. The only way that this machine manages to get good battery life is via a 2008-era screen resolution and the world's slowest GPU.

It's a very hard problem to do small+light, with long battery life, and a high-res screen. The whole class of "ultrabooks" was invented by Apple with the MBAir, then retconned into a notebook category, and they're still way out ahead on the screen/gpu/battery life situation, as well as speakers.

Presently all long battery life ultrabooks are low-res and have speakers that remind me of the 90s.
Yeah, well much of accepted history from that time is up for debate - from who funded the Germans and Soviets and their ties to industry and banking in the US and Europe. The current energy and inflation crises are caused in parts by similar global forces pursuing agendas today. I don't think revolutions will be forms of inward-directed change, but more as a result of financing by global elites similar to how Lenin and Trotsky's revolutions were funded by wealthy financiers in the US and London. Kennedy's father also helped fund the Germany war machine.

As you pointed out - we find ourselves in a similar political climate but not because of the people who elected these governments but because of the globalists who still run them behind the scenes, just like they were doing prior, during and after WWII.
I use / to search by a string (or press * while my cursor is on a word to search for that word), then press n or p to go to the next or previous. cgn changes the matched text, and you use . to repeat the change, so to change a word over all occurrences I just cgn once and repeatedly press “.” .
You can see Elon sold something like $8-$12 billion in TSLA stock in the past few months. Assuming it didn't get spent on SpaceX or somewhere else (it was supposed to be used for the Twitter buyout) he has more cash than Twitter. But that doesn't really matter, at a certain point the amount they spend in legal services will reach such diminishing returns that it's not worth it.
On an older account I once had a factual comment detached whilst the other person his comment (which pretty much stated the polar opposite) stayed under the main post. Looking at which other comments stayed or got detached it was quite easy to see an enormous bias. Pointing that out, all I got was a vague “I understand you are passionate”. I think that’s the only time I’ve ever seen him miss his stride, though.
Yes I would say. Most IDE's support vim keybindings via plugins. Vim kingbindings with the convenience of and IDE results in an powerful experience.
The first thing to know is that there really is no "lender" in the traditional sense.

The first form of banks we had we had had depositors deposit money for safekeeping. Banks would then lend that money out to earn interest. We then basically decided this was too conservative a strategy so we have fractional reserves, meaning if you have $100,000 in deposits you might be able to lend out $1 million. A lot of Crypto Andys see this as a problem. It's not, particularly because depositor funds are guaranteed by the government (up to a limit) in the US at least.

But in recent decades we say the rise of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). Banks will take those mortgages and package them into what are effective bonds and then sell them to the market. This is now completely off the bank's balance sheet so they're not even really the lender anymore. They're basically just the agent who collects the repayments that get packaged up and go to the MBS holder.

Non-payment of a mortgage will give the bank some options depending on your state but there are a lot of varying consumer protections here too (eg non-recourse states mean the bank can typically seize the property being the collateral for the loan or go after you for any outstanding debt but they can't do both).

But if the loan is underwater (meaning the loan value exceeds the asset value) the bank can only really do something if you stop making payments. There is meant to be due diligence here done by the banks to make sure the entire package of property being an MBS isn't underwater. Obviously this failed spectacularly in the subprime era.

But one house being underwater isn't generally a problem.
Nope. If you're already comfortable in your code editor of choice and like it, there's no good reason to switch.

However, if you've seen people use it in real life or in youtube videos, and think that it's cool being able to execute precise and fast commands without needing to move your hands from the keyboard, to edit code exactly how you want to, definitely try it!
If you believe that current AI implementations are capable of this sort of “everything we can do but differently” then I would be curious as to why nobody has made any progress whatsoever in the understanding of consciousness?

Are we to believe that humans are now able to replicate many of their own conscious abilities but with no real understanding of the mechanisms? A grid search of TensorFlow functions mashed together in different combinations could have done the same thing?

I am starting to feel like I am playing a Gary Marcus role here in this thread, against a mob of overly optimistic connectionists. (that may be too generous, I imagine many in this thread have no implementation experience with AI, just a Reader’s Digest level of understanding)
On the occasions when I have been close to a newsworthy event, I have seen/read the reports afterwards and found them quite different from my own knowledge - so I haven't had much trust in the news in a long time.

First, the knocks on post-production completely ignore the history of film development, editing, & printing. The time to an output photo product has only gone down. Drastically.
And this piece ignores the needs of the commercial photographers high end glass is designed for, who need not a toy but as few pieces of our as possible to land as many jobs as possible. When you’re working for clients, it’s easier to own less glass and a few pieces of software that will make it look however you want.
Does it matter in which language is a text editor written in?

I mean, that's not a feature of the editor, is it? There may be consequences derived from that, but that's part of the features (e.g. uses a lot of memory, or it is slow, or it is hard to build from source, or whatever).

Unless the OP wants to hack that editor, and then it may make sense if they know the language.
Great - he created another site that embraces censorship, echo chambers, and mob rule, very similar to twitter, just with a tech / academic theme. Amazing accomplishment.
> I’d much prefer grepping a directory of files for keywords

Do you think it's right way in general? If yes, please join my imaginary experiment case:

* you are part of Corporate IT support team

* your company is let's say Korean speaking and your OS interface (locale) is Korean as well

* you have phone call for support request on for something simple like changing desktop background or changing laptop sleep interval be not 5 minutes but 15

I can imagine in say Windows 11, someone press "win", type "battery" in local language and finds the needed setting, but how someone would "grep" for something in non-native language - I'm not sure.

----

I can imagine more examples, say - what is the way to ask for remote assistance or MDM or disk encryption rollout by CorpIT or wiping data in case of loss or... which would demonstrate to me - it's not ready for broader audience beyond 5% of deviation of population (nerds). And your grepping example, to me, says - such use cases are not even considered when someone says "linux is ready for desktop".

> The interactive editor aims to bring the skills you develop while practicing in it, into your daily code editing, by making you practice on code snippets (for all the lessons after the first 2).

If only Vim itself was an interactive editor.

> In addition, in my opinion, vimtutor and :help are slightly difficult for a complete beginner to parse because they overwhelm with a little too much information.

Except I mentioned :help user-manual, which is built-in and offers a very gentle, progressive, learning curve. Not overwhelming at all.

Vimtutor only introduces the basics and :help, assuming you mean "the reference manual" as opposed to "the user manual", is not suitable for the first steps of learning at all: most of it is really just a reference for when you are not quite sure about the specifics of a command or function.

> I tried to fix this by making each lesson focused on a single topic, with short and simple explanations.

Not much more than the user manual, then, and judging by the lesson titles, quite less.
> Just tested in windows and realized that it switches between select on mouse down and select on mouse up depending on if you click on the text or if you click on the whitespace part of the file, whitespace it selects on up

This is because the drag action changes.

In the whitespace part, if you do mouse-down, the file gains a faint selection. If you "commit" with a mouse-up, it's selected. But you can instead move the mouse, turning it into an area selection (you draw a square and everything in that square is selected on mouse-up).

If you click on the text, the selection is committed right away on mouse-down. If you move your mouse after mouse-down, you start a drag-and-drop action; which you can in turn abort by dragging the file to its original position and doing mouse-up, leaving you with the selection.

Few people could describe this if asked, but on an intuitive level it seems to work, and it follows the principle of giving you rich visual feedback and letting you back out of an unintended action (just like aborting a button click before the mouse-down)
Because i struggled to understand what you meant I'd like to rephrase it:

It matches only if the regex is applied to a singular word. It's not going to match if there is a sentence or any apostrophe etc, which is implied to be valid input because it supposedly matches "all words".

Heh, I feel like that has been Target's target demographic (excuse the pun) for at least 20 years (I don't have anecdotal evidence before that). They have things that aren't designer/high cost, but at the same time are not bottom of the barrel low cost things.
> Here, we leverage the connection between depression and language to investigate whether societies as a whole, similar to individuals with depression, can undergo changes in their collective language that are associated with cognitive distortions.

...

> We caution that we make no causal claims with respect to the relationship between lexical markers, cognitive distortions, and internalizing disorders, and the above comments therefore constitute speculations that we hope may inspire follow-up research.

Hmm, sure seems like exactly what they are trying to imply is that whole societies can be diagnosed with depression by lexical analysis. Meanwhile, I'm not even sure what it means to say that a society has depression. Feels like there is indeed follow-up research to do on this, though I'd have liked if it were done first.

Lions hunt and eat pretty, they also regularly kill cubs when taking over a pride. Does that make infanticide acceptable?

This argument is at least as silly as the parent's.

No. There is no way to discern a collapsed wave function from a non collapsed one, if that's what you mean.

I assume that you, like me, have spent a lot of time searching for links on the project or for personal needs in chats and correspondences.

The https://linkong.team/ service was created to solve this problem.

What can you do within the service?
1. Create projects and fill them with necessary links.
2. Add all team members to the project to share links.
3. Structure links according to your topics.
4. Allocate access for both viewing and editing links by team members.
5. Create draft links with both private and public access.
“Defiant”…Interesting editorial choice for a woman insisting that her marriage was quite valid. Henry’s actions merely showed himself a serial adulterer. Defiant might describe him, but not Katherine. She was the victim here and Sir Thomas More, friend of Henry, lost his life standing up for that same truth.
Seems like the author has a limited sense of wonder. Just because the teacher didn’t say “Isn’t X amazing!” He didn’t realize that it was amazing. Hint: Everything is amazing. Start looking at the world that way and you’ll do way better in everything you do. If teachers had to tell you all the amazing things in the world they wouldn’t have time to tell you how things work - which is also amazing. (I’m locked out of additional comments so have to respond to my critics by edit: I’m a molecular biologist and a computer scientist. I find the names are part of the wonder. It’s hard to describe how this can be true unless you have a wholistic sense of what wonder means. Maybe I have an overactive sense of wonder. )
If we see that a model doesn't work - it becomes an absolute truth.
