I think any argument against generative AI should not hedge on there being a fundamental difference in how humans and generative models work.

I mean sure, maybe humans aren't "just" doing sophisticated pattern matching, but there are good reasons to suspect this is some part of what we are doing. (Even if its not implemented with back-prop).

e.g) consider the work of people like Anil Seth, who propose that our brain is basically a generative model of the world, which aims to minimize the likelihood of perceptual data. (see also: Karl Friston's free energy principle). What's up for debate is how it is structured, what priors are built in, what is the learning algorithm etc.

Anyway, for all their limitations, it seems clear that current artificial generative models can:
1. learn hierarchies of abstractions, which
2. explain the observed data in the fewest possible number of bits, and
3. generate new, novel data based on the patterns that have been learned

If you want to describe this as "just sophisticated pattern matching".. then sure I guess? But I think there's a clear qualitative difference between this and searching for code in a discrete database (which imo would not be okay).
I love Jebrains IDEs. They can save you lot of time. For example, VSCode does not even come close to Jetbrains git branch comparison. It's insanely good. I think a proper IDE is always better than adding 10s of extension to get similar functionality from VScode. Even then it does not compare to the beast that is Jetbrains IDE.

Jetbrains should keep working on their own thing instead of trying to change because of someone else. This holds true for people as well.
This communication is not Boeing communicating a required maintenance interval, they're communicating a problem. It wouldn't seem natural for me for Boeing to add a random hidden margin in a problem description. When it comes to the maintenance remedy, I don't know if Boeing would do this or airlines or the FAA. Presumably the mandatory maintenance reboot interval will be much shorter than 51 days.
WebStorm already has quite the hard stand against VS Code. VS Code gets all the plugins for popular frameworks by their respective authors and is free.

Rider is also stuck between a free VS Community version and VS Code which some people successfully use with the C# plugin (although I wouldn't use the latter for large code bases).
In even 1000 years that would only be an offset 38 meters. That wouldn't meaningfully change the ratio.
I love how all the panels/windows in Jetbrains are just text. Like "run", "maven", "database", "terminal". The new icons take up more than twice the space (thickness vs the vertical text), and conveys nothing at all about what they do.

Also one of the reasons I'm not that thrilled about Fleet. I get it's easy to just in general be negative to change. But these are professional tools. I've used it for over a decade. I don't need it to be dumbed down.

Right now I'm comfortable and never enjoyed VSCode and others. But if I'm forced this change, what's stopping me then from trying a completely different IDE?

> And the Indian devs work their ass off out of fear of getting PIP’d and with their work authorization, they lose their job means they have to leave the country.

This matches what I saw at Nike. Though it was a bit less extreme, it was the same dynamic. Indian-born workers got paid half what the American-born workers did for the same SWE jobs. And Indian workers couldn’t complain or push back against unrealistic expectations because getting fired meant getting deported. It’s a captive, exploitable labor force. It’s really messed up.
I use IntelliJ to write mostly Perl. Since trying the 2020 and 2021 series of IntelliJ, I sat down for an hour and tried every major release since I started using it, and I settled on the one I like the most. I'm quite happy with it, and I'm not planning to upgrade again. Thank you, JetBrains, for supporting your older versions.

To OP, I recommend downloading the version you like and sticking with it. You'll be good for years. Use this time to occasionally research alternatives.
Feels kinda weird to be using a data type that gets less precise, the further you move out from the center. Unless the world is infinite (which it sometimes is), isn't it a bit of a waste of precision? I kinda doubt you need nanometer precision, but only within 1 meter from the center. I get that gpus have existing floating point hardware to accelerate stuff. But with more open worlds being a thing. Wouldn't it make sense to include some new, big, floating point data type in hardware / emulate it in software?
Really appreciate the link. Much prefer mercurial to git on my own stuff.
Roughly the same size is understating it severely. They are uncannily similar in apparent size.
That and you can use the different apps to sandbox the plugins so you aren't loading unused ones for each project!
6502 has output pins that let you distinguish between instruction fetch, data read/write, and interrupt/reset vector fetch. So you can bank switch based on all that stuff.

6502 doesn't have a pin for "IO space" but you just pick your MMIO range e.g. 0xCnnn on the Apple ][ and a NAND gate on the 2 MSBs and a 3-input OR/NOR on the output and the next two bits gives you effectively the same signal. (or an OR gate on bits 12&13 plus a 3-input AND/NAND on bits 14&15 and the output).

It was common to use 6522 VIA 8 bit output ports to bank switch one or two 4k ranges to allow each such 4k range to access 256*4k = 1 MB of RAM. You could use a 16x8 bit SRAM to do the same thing for the whole address space.
Or like, I guess a 64 bit int would probably do the job
Paper from April 1984 reporting results from 1961? ...
The FreeBSD/Firecracker Platform
...But the example cited by the OP isn't how anyone actually uses copilot...

From where I sit, the complainant has found an extremely convoluted (and buggy) way to copy-paste their own code and is very upset about it. By similar logic, we should restrict the use of ctrl-c and ctrl-v, because they allow very simple infringement of open source licenses. Find a sparse matrix multiplication library which uses the copied code without attribution and you can take them to court; the law is already sufficient for this.
I like them small too which is why I hide basically everything except for the editor itself :)
> Why is VSCode eating their lunch?

Remote development extension that makes development from remote machines, VMs, docker containers seem like it's your local machine.

I switched from CLion to VSCode for this, even though CLion is generally a nicer IDE for C++. VSCode is also better for memory usage.
PyTorch's Selective Build for Mobile/IoT Devices
Nope, you don't get everything. I don't use CLion, so I don't know what all the differences are, but for the Rust plugin, CLion gets more functionality than IntelliJ:

https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust#compatible-id...

I understand the same goes for yet a third branch, which is .Net, and possibly a fourth, which is AppCode. But I don't have any contact with those ecosystems, so don't really know.
> The answer to a factual question is not copyrightable, so while you may have moral problems with that, there is no legal argument.

Correct.

>The same applies to all realistic use-cases for copilot by the way. Whatever is produces is not copyrightable.

That's a pretty bold statement to make. How do you know how people use copilot? Also IIRC Oracle vs Google essentially determined 3 lines of code can be copyrightable. So I think you statement fails on two points, you can't really predict how people use copilot and you cannot predict what a court would decide is copyrightable (this is much less straight forward than statement of facts).
The title sounded like a joke at first. But the term “dark personality” is explained inside:

> New research provides evidence that narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism — maladaptive personality traits known as the “Dark Triad” — are associated with overt displays of virtue and victimhood

I feel like the title could also have been: “people with dark personalities suck”

As much as I love Vim, it simply isn't an IDE.
One reason for increasing space and element size is due to increase of myopia and other vision related problems in recent decades.
There is no "should" except what the most influential majority believes is correct. Language naturally evolves all the time and that is a good and beautiful thing.

You may have a preference or think this historical norm is interesting, but please stop with the "should" talk, it is irritating, condescending, and incorrect.

This particular norm is especially "wrong" (heh) because the overwhelming social majority has already left it behind. Clinging to it just because some academic wrote a book claiming that was correct or because 100 years ago that phrasing was common is especially misguided since for most modern English speakers it isn't just a thing they forget sometimes, but actually sounds wrong and weird to them. By any sane understanding of language that makes them far more correct than you.

If the moon's orbit is increasing in radius, doesn't that mean its orbital velocity is decreasing? Which way is energy being transferred? This stuff confuses me.
When did that happen? For a long time you couldn't, say, install the "CLion module" in IntellJ - it simply didn't exist in their plugin repos.
They need to find your computer to send data back to it. So an IP address needs to provide that route.
Eh, I have used vim, spacemacs, sublime, vscode, atom, eclipse and netbeans. Jetbrains IDEs have superior functionality out of the box across languages and don’t require me to mess with and debug a million plugins. I don’t mind a UI refresh, it’s going to be just like the gmail refresh everyone hated it and now we’re all fine with it.

I just wish they would invest more money into things that are actually a problem currently like how slow indexing is and how disruptive it is when you do a clean re-install and it indexes all your dependencies again.

I have tried spacemacs which gives a lot of functionality out the box with less configuration needed than DIY vim or emacs but it still just doesn’t compare to the ease of use of Jetbrains IDEs across languages (I use Java, Python, Ruby and Typescript every week).

> With enough 'nukes' we could

Uh huh. And when exactly will they be online and performing all this work for us?

As well as the time and cost to build the nukes, how much time and money will it take to build the machines to suck the carbon out of the air.

I'm all for solutions, but 30+ years isn't going to cut it. 10 years is a huge risk.
I have never heard this ridiculous claim, and I don’t believe you have either.

It would make about as much sense as believing everyone who comments on HN.
I actually _really_ like these changes, but then again I was previously a VS Code user. I think JetBrains is specifically courting users who, like me, don't deal well with user interfaces that utilize large numbers of text labels. I think they're catching up to "modern design", and trying to skate to where the puck is so to speak.

However, I do want to point out that I don't think the author has actually used the new UI considering they mention the overuse of animations, considering that the new UI doesn't have _any_ as far as I can tell.
Eventually, yeah; just as the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, Earth would be tidally locked to the Moon.

I don't know offhand whether that would happen before the Moon drifts too far away to remain in Earth's orbit, however.
Amazon has millions of employees. At this point, if you burn out too many you start running out of people to burn out.
I don't find this to be true. Have used eclipse for four years, IntelliJ for three. IntelliJ is never slow and it's very easy to remove and add modules, this way you can keep the workspace clean. Also eclipse took ages to open, two instances at best could be running together. I run four IntelliJ and it works very well.
Fair warning: everything I know about orbital mechanics is from Kerbal Space Program.

The moon cannot orbit at a higher speed while keeping the same semi-major axis (average distance to the orbital centre of mass).

If you suddenly doubled the orbital speed of the moon right now, the apoapsis (the highest point in its orbit relative to the orbital centre of mass) would increase significantly.

If you slowly accelerate the moon in the direction of its orbital velocity consistently over a long time period, the moon will slow down relative to the Earth, but it's semi major axis will increase.

Actual scientists of HN: have at me.
>Just like cash whoever picks it up is there new owner & police can't do anything about it except for locking him in jail.

I hear people saying this, the problem with this thinking is that there is no actual reason for a digital payment system to be like that. It's actually one of the main drawbacks of cash and one of the major reasons not to use it. Intentionally designing a system this way doesn't improve it, it causes it to have the disadvantages of physical money (easily and irreversibly stolen) as well as the disadvantages of electronic money (easily hacked by anyone on the planet). I argue this combination makes it uniquely suitable for cyber crime, and nothing else. Nobody actually wants this combination of properties in a legitimate payment system.

And I should also state that these properties are policy choices and not really related to anything technical about Bitcoin or blockchains. Banks can also just refuse to give your money back if you get hacked, but doing so would obviously be very bad and make their customers angry. It makes no sense to condone this behavior in crypto.

>Ofcourse he will say that, JP Morgan creates money out of thin air by using fractional reserve, just like cryptocurrency. So basically bitcoin is taking away there business.

This doesn't make sense, you're going into conspiracy theories here. Yeah he said that but he also said numerous times he would take customers' money if they wanted to trade crypto, and that's exactly what he does.

>Author also misses important use like voting where we want record to be public, accountable & certifiable.

What you need there is laws, not blockchains. Electronic voting doesn't help with that and just gets in the way. Every blockchain voting system I've seen has been a total failure that's less secure and less accountable than simple paper ballots. On a more fundamental level, you can't have a voting system for ordinary people that requires them to understand how complicated microchips and algorithms and radio signals and network topologies work in order to trust the system. It's just not going to fly.

>And about the criminal part. For criminals, CASH IS STILL THE KING.

For small transactions, yes. Chalk up another failure for crypto. For large criminal transactions like ransomware and sanctions evasion, it's still crypto all the way. But this also is not for any technical reason, it's because of various policy choices to avoid applying any kind of increased scrutiny to large transactions, and also because of crypto enthusiasts having some kind of weird fixation with helping thugs and autocrats: https://news.yahoo.com/virgil-griffith-us-expert-jailed-0759...

This is pretty well documented in the UX world, it’s called Jacob’s Law[1] and it states that your users spend most of their time using other products, and they generally prefer yours to work like others they’ve already trained themselves to use.

I get that change always comes with resistance, but I will never understand the knee jerk reaction of “they’re morons and they have no idea what they’re doing” that is so common with change.

JetBrains has Code With Me, in case you hadn't seen that. I have no idea how they compare, though, so I don't mean this as a dismissal.
Well, you can pin the IntelliJ IDEs to a version too, and thanks to the "perpetual fallback" license, you can use that version forever (once you have paid for an annual subscription once).
To give a different perspective; these changes actually make me consider giving it another go.
If you want to alt-click on any function and instantly get taken to its definition, even in a library, some indexes need to be built. At least I assume. Last time I tried VS Code it wasn’t anywhere near IntelliJ’s capabilities.
Minuscule by 80s standards. But also using smaller solar panels, less efficient solar panels, less efficient chipsets, and a display too.

From their FAQ:

Will Fleet replace any existing JetBrains IDEs?

No, it will not. We are fully committed to continuing active development of our IntelliJ-based IDEs. With Fleet, we’re aiming to offer an alternative view on how an IDE can be organized, and this is impossible to implement within our current product line without going against the expectations of developers currently using those other IDEs. This means Fleet will co-exist with our established products.

Additionally, Fleet heavily relies on the IntelliJ code-processing engine for its smart code-editing features, such as project-aware and context-aware code completion, navigation to definitions and usages, refactorings, on-the-fly code quality checks, and quick-fixes.
Well and as anything radiation it is always a question of how you come into touch with it.

E.g. getting hit by radiation briefly from the outside is different than having a radiation source inside your body for potentially ever (heavy metals are known to do this).

I am not sure how it is with mushrooms, but as someone who grew up in the Austrian South with similar laws regulating mushrooms I think this was the reasoning. So not that the radiation dose of one of those mushrooms would be problematic, but that it contains radiating particles that happily enter, but not so happily exit your body.
And what is the alternative explanation for the higher risk?
What Java LSP do you use for Vim?
It's hundreds of people losing their jobs at once. It doesn't matter what the relative magnitude, it's still hundreds of families dealing with the sudden loss of a job.
They do that, I’m playing with it now. Have a look at Jetbrains Gateway: https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/gateway/
While I agree that copyright terms are unreasonably long, it's not relevant to this specific case.
IntelliJ is incredibly feature rich. Eclipse fell behind, because its corporate backers like IBM, I assume, didn't fund it as massively anymore. Who's sponsoring VSCode for Java development in a way that competes with the weight that JetBrains is throwing around in that space? I don't use VSCode, so this is part honest question (and part presumption).
I said rigid computer software controlling humans is a violation of human dignity. Nobody ever said that about checklists. I'll never understand the resistance to them, they're extremely useful tools.

Your article touches on an interesting point:

> I also think this culture is generational

> my experience with younger doctors in training is that they readily, even eagerly, adopt systems that help them avoid mistakes.

> They never knew a day when medicine was not so horrifically complex and ever changing that physicians could not use some external help to aid their inadequate brains.

Certainly matches my experience at least. I will use literally any resource I can to prevent mistakes of any sort. Computers are a huge force multiplier as everyone here knows. My computer knowledge is extremely useful in this field. Just being able to touch type swiftly already gives me enough of an edge.

I refuse to accept poorly designed software getting in the way of work. I don't know how this Epic software works but where I work using an EMR system has been a terrible experience every single time. They fail at every usability principle that's ever been posted and discussed here on HN. Last month I dealt with one shitty system that had 2 second latency while typing, nobody was able to get any work done and all the problems went away after they all fell back to writing notes in Word or even Notepad. I actually debugged and fixed the problem in a couple hours but at that point nobody really gave a shit anymore because they had already moved on with their lives.
Unless you are joking in which case - nice one.
The moon is drifting away because the Earth is rotating. Eventually the Earth will be tidally locked with the moon, the same side of the Earth facing the moon at all times. When this happens, the moon will (for the most part) stop moving away from the Earth. Well, that’s what would happen if we didn’t get eaten by the sun when it morphs into a red giant. For further research, check out…

“Will the Moon ever leave the Earth’s orbit?” => https://youtu.be/IM_euz9PUiw
Same with Walmart
2^47/33e6 = 49.36 days. The value is so much off that makes me suspect that this is not the correct analysis, or at least that there are additional factors at play
Yeah, the moon isn't "drifting away" on its own, its being forced away as it takes energy from the Earth.
I'll flip it around. If you can't figure out if the code is properly copyrighted, and can't afford to face consequences, don't use it.

> How exactly did you think "Any system less powerful than PA is trivially incomplete." conveyed any of this?

I thought it was understood that the word "incomplete" in the context of a discussion of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem meant incomplete with respect to the truths of arithmetic, because that is what Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is about. It didn't seem like a huge leap at the time.
