From my memory some of the big players require api license fees in the thousands per api. It was my understanding that these are to be paid by every implementor using their docs. How are you guys getting API access to build? Is this not really as common anymore?
Will download and setup. I hope they have sustainable business around it. For myself I do not mind ~$100 or so for a single version and upgrade in every couple of years if I find it useful. I have SublimeText and I will use both if this new editor has certain features to raise productivity.

> Currently, Zed only supports macOS.

That was actually from June of last year. It makes sense to start with a limited scope, but given that it's reaching public beta without much consideration for platforms outside of macOS, I wonder if it will ever actually feel "native" elsewhere, or if it will wind up ossified with Apple-specific idiosyncrasies. Time will tell.

Personally, I was mostly interested in their Rust GPUI library, but it hasn't been open sourced. (Yet; it does look like there is a plan to open source some of Zed, though obviously it's possible it never happens.) It sounded like a great idea and even in an early stage would probably be a great addition to the nascent ecosystem of Rust UI libraries.
I think the issue is more with people marketing/talking about them as "AI". When I think AI I think of something like Skynet. I would assume something like Skynet would be good at chess, able to generate new text, and synthesize new images. I think when shown novel algorithms that can do those things and told by the people selling the algorithms that they are "AI", it's hard to disagree since they quack like an AI so it's easy to accept that these are the same "artificial intelligence" concept in our brains which we previously only had examples of from fiction.

Basically I think it's overhyped by the use of the term "AI" and how easy we are to accept it generally. Some aspect of them being generative models could have been the term used to market/describe them, but instead a much broader term is used.
How is it "socializing the problem" other than being a buzzword phrase that's been thrown around lately in other contexts that feels like it fits?
That's shit. My bank accused me of defrauding them when I told them the person who stole my credit card bought stuff on an invoice that showed the stuff shipped the day before they even bought it.... to a guy called "pirateargggggh3890[roughly]@hotmail.com" from a now flagged known ebay seller/fraudster. The products were a mix of religious and feminine materials ... I am an atheist man in a state far away from the one purchased.

I phoned in for an appeal and I was laughed at by the bank employees over the phone, and told I was mistaken and my family members must be the thieves. Claim denied.
If you have more than $250,000 in cash, keeping it in checking accounts is just dumb. Open a TreasuryDirect account and start buying T-bills... they're paying 5% right now, way more than a checking account.

People stopped using the þ and ȝ in English because the technology at the time couldn't handle it. People adopting new practices and habits to make it easier for technology is as old as technology.

As the old joke goes, "AI" is anything that doesn't work yet.

Once an "AI" system becomes reliable, we quickly take it for granted and it no longer seems impressive or interesting. It's just a database. Or an image classifier. Or a chatbot.
Siri might be maxing out as just a UI for basic things playing music, getting weather, and sending text messages.

As you say, the original vision, where it would help you in all kinds of activities, we are still far away from.
I've looked at your other comments here but I can't find elaboration on the bad parts of AppImage. I tend to agree that AppImage is the best of the available options - do you mean that the best solution would be rich system libraries that never break backwards compatibility ala Windows? And since we don't have that, AppImage is the best we can do?

Not really - they'd need to print $200B - which is 1/4th of GDP.

That would match what the US printed during the pandemic ($5.2T) adjusted to the size of the economy. You would expect to get similar devaluation of the currency.

It's primarily about what livers produce, which determines which chemicals are vitamins (which varies across mammals, for example) and which amino acids (the lego blocks that form proteins) are "essential amino acids" for a species.

It's possible as a human to ingest from non animal sources all the essential nutrients, but there's HUGE misdirection in at least american commerce about how to do so. For instance, labels talk about grams of protein, which is inadequate: you could be ingesting a ton of a subset of amino acids in protein, and entirely deficient in an essential amino acid.

It seems that eating animals was a heuristic that supplies essential amino acids and vitamins.
I do a lot of brain image segmentation in my research using multiatlas image segmentation, which involves diffeomorphic image registration from multiple labeled atlases...but the amount of curling in on itself of these layered sheets seems a daunting problem for a fully automated pipeline.
The tax wouldn't affect all properties equally. It would punish undeveloped / under-developed land much more. Those owners could try to pass it on to the renter, if there is one, but the renter can move to better developed land that would be able to provide lower rents. The theory is that this would encourage the owner to develop the land into more units or sell it to someone else who will be under the same pressure.
TFA is about bonuses, not stock. Stock sales were (as is usual) automated and scheduled. Executives simply cannot have discretionary "day of", impromptu kind of stock sales.

But even the bonuses were on a scheduled calendar.

That said, it's possible they kept the ship afloat just a little longer, to make sure those payments occurred first. /Then/ they took on the risk of a cap raise. I'm not saying that happened. I haven't studied it closely enough.

There are a few full-reserve banks,
(as opposed to fractional reserve banks), where your money is not gambled with at all, but nobody uses them because nobody wants to pay money to have a bank account.

There are Massachusetts banks insured by the DIF (the inspiration for the FDIC) that has insurance for deposits over 250k, but at that point you're kind of putting more faith in the state of Massachusetts than the U.S. government.

> Start-ups who raise a Series A aren't looking to earn 1% on it - it seems silly that they can't really do anything with it that doesn't take on risk, and that FDIC insurance for just storing cash only goes up to a low amount.

If this is what they're looking for, they should probably just be banking with a SIB [1]. Wells Fargo and Bank of America might pay laughably low interest rates on their accounts, and deposits might technically only be insured up to 250k, but the U.S. government cannot and will not let these banks fail under any circumstances because they would drag the entire U.S. economy down with them.

Well the other side of the equation is it would be very very tempting to do something with all that cash. Like “let’s fire the CEO who doesn’t go for it” tempting. I don’t see this working without regulation.

Yes, we have a lot of things supported by surplus. All research is one example.

I don't think my comment implies that at all. I'm not convinced it'll ever grow that large though. See: Content is not king [1] for a good explanation of why.

I think it's natural that it grows now to levels never seen before.

What am I underestimating? I agree it is an important issue; my comment is orthogonal to it though.

So after the moon landings public interest started fading quickly for space programs. NASA didn't have enough funds to both continue Apollo programs and develop the Space Shuttle so they wound down Apollo early to best use the budget they had. When a large program like that ends production is shut down, people leave companies and the unique skill sets required to build those products disappears.

So yeah truly we just haven't had a compelling enough interest to devote the necessary funds to go back. Also the Moon doesn't offer super unique research opportunities.

Also there is some incredibly interesting reading on the Russian Moon program. Your belief that they didn't want to go says that largely the effort to cover up their failed moon program was mostly a success towards the average person. The Russian spent a ton of money on their N1 rocket which failed on launch 4 times and then was cancelled and they ordered everything be destroyed.

I was saying that because -- in my humble opinion -- the ongoing farce with North Korea is as much on the ROK as it is with the US...There's a significant segmentation of South Korean's that are just as unlikely to push for re-unification as the US. They're glad to play the game with the Pentagon if that means their bottom line isn't hurt. Which is wild. There's a huge portion of Korea that's been locked into hell for sixty+ years. Enough with the bullshit.
> I am not sure about the legality

non-profits can own for-profit businesses. They generally invest their endowments in...the stock market, and owning a whole company is just that at a larger scale.

A well known example is Usenix taking its networking sideline and turned it into the company UUnet which let Rick Adams become a billionaire (for a while). I actually considered this scandalous and still do, but it was all legally above board. It ended up ensnarled in the Worldcom fraud, which felt like poetic justice to me.
The editor will be free, and they will monetize the network features (or so they say)

https://zed.dev/faq#how-will-you-make-money
I think that’s not really how super resolution works, it’s closer to how diffusion models hallucinate details inspired by their training set.

I roughly think about it being like you have a lot of high res moons lossy compressed into model weights until they are basically distilled into some abstract sense of “moon image”-ness “indexed” by blurry image patches. Running the network then “unzips” some of that detail over matching low resolution patches.

(Using quotes to denote terms I am heavily abusing in this loose analogy)

Edit: Importantly though I think this isn’t that different from what you are describing in terms of whether this is potentially misleading customers about the optics on their device, because it is inserting detail not actually captured by the camera sensor.
I think the "run" to bitcoin can be mostly attributed to people bailing on stablecoins as there's no guarantee they can be converted to dollars. If your stablecoin can't be cashed, but can be converted to BTC, then BTC looks better by comparison.

What's the point of converting BTC to dollars anything? I thought bitcoin was the future. I mean you don't see a lot of people fretting that we can't convert dollars to Zimbabwe bucks. Why are crypto people so hung up on convertibility to the fiat dollar?
Our plan is for the core editor to be free and open-source.

We'll charge money for our backend service that powers collaboration in Zed. We have ambitious plans to improve the way that people work together on code. So far, on that front, we've been focused on real-time collaboration, but we have a lot of ideas for how we can improve asynchronous collaboration as well, by having discussions take place directly in the code editor.

Without instruction tuning, the perfect language model produces output which has the same level of intelligibility as random text from the training set. And the training set probably has a lot of spam and junk in.

We did it last time in a lot less time taking far more risks. I think the majority is the lack of political or economic incentives, but there is something to the idea that our current culture is much more risk averse, and probably less good at "just make it work" projects than it used to be.

I don’t think those points make comparable reason for the question asked.

Landers and rovers to mars make sense to most people. Not having to deal with life support and being very familiar with the mechanics of cars and robots and drones helps.

I think the crux to me is that we did a thing six times, and then stopped for 50 years, no one else even tried, and only now after tech has drastically improved are we doing it again.

I think the better argument is that while some things are easier, some are harder than say Mars. Between the solar day and temp extremes.
I was hoping it would raise the alarm regarding Google and Apple's overreaching, always-on data collection practices. 99% of people don't need to worry about an attacker gaining physical access to their unlocked device and installing an application. We as a society do need to worry about tech giants amassing enough data on us to gain an insurmountable AI-training-data advantage which makes them too useful as tools of the state to be regulated by said state.

>You can't use value securities as "mark-to-intended-optimal-future" as an alternative to "mark-to-market" for purposes of insolvency risk calculations.

I think this is exactly correct, but I dont think that is the purpose and scenario reported on their financial statements. I think it is fine to report valuation in terms of "mark-to-solvent future", as long as the appropriate data is provided to enable insolvency risk calculations, and the "mark-to-solvent future" model is not presented or confused with a insolvency risk model.

If an investor does not understand how HTM assets are accounted per regulation, but they are accurately reported, confusing the models is an investor error, not a bank reporting error.

My understanding is that banks provide clear reporting, and are transparent with their HTM portfolio.

HTM securities are typically reported as separate noncurrent assets; they have an amortized cost on a company's financial statements.

This is incredibly frustrating to deal with because of how deeply the registry name is baked into Dockerfiles and image names. We end up "mirroring" our base images but there's some disconnect internally between "oh, yeah, our harbor.company/library/debian:bullseye is some random pull of library/debian:bullseye from the docker hub".

Imagine if you needed to change mirrors for `apt` and as part of that process you had to change all of the names of installed packages because the hostname of the mirror formed part of the package's identifier.

It has become increasingly difficult to discern legitimate calls in recent times. Lately, I have been receiving calls from my bank, seemingly related to client relations, originating from a variety of random local numbers. These could potentially be the personal mobile numbers of the bank agents, though I cannot be certain. I usually don't answer these calls as I don't recognize the numbers. The only way for me to verify their legitimacy is through the branch number mentioned at the end of the voicemail messages they leave. However, if I were to actually speak with the caller, it would be challenging for me to determine the call's authenticity.
Been a Mint Mobile customer for about 2 years but recently made the switch to Verizon's Visible service for one simple reason, data connectivity on Mint Mobile was terrible, my best example of having zero access at Home Depot or Safeway, it became so bad I'd just do the searches for products at home and screenshot the results, my wife complains about the same problem but she's still on Mint Mobile. My two cents is for the cheapest $15/month package you get the bottom of the barrel data connectivity..but YMMV..
