There are alternatives to "undo", which are probably better suited to "undo last word" without making "what will undo undo" more mentally complicated. Having undo reverse the last edit, whether that's a word or a few words or adding an argument definition to a function, or adding an "if" block -- makes it very easy to keep in your head. "I want to undo that last thing I did".

The alternatives are:

- Control-W (delete the last word, stay in insert mode)
- "W" to move back a word (or "B" to move back a big word). So: <Esc>BC

There's apparently also a recipe for setting up vim to insert undo points whenever you hit space, so you could also enable that for the files you want to do that on.
OK, I guess I'll be the first to ask. What does this mean?
One’s only recourse to having their livelihood of fraud uncovered is to sue. These aren’t the kind of people that would say “well, time to go straight I suppose”. No, they’ll go down kicking and screaming that it’s fake, false, inflammatory, injustice, or otherwise. The bit about the university IT manual was hilarious. ACM should be ashamed.
If it doesn’t have CarPlay I’m not buying it so thanks for making things simple.
This is fascinating and the interest rates are nuts. The current top post is asking for $400 with plans to repay a total of $475 by the 25th which ChatGPT says is a 526% interest rate.

What’s the deal here? Are most borrowers scams? Is there no better option for the financially vulnerable? I’ll try to convince my wife it’s worth an experiment.
I don't think much of Elon either, but if he was starting a new company it's probably a good bet it's going to succeed (despite the Twitter debacle).

I don't think there is a better predictor of future success than past success. Or at least I can't think of one - can you?
I wasn’t necessarily assuming ‘-ftrapv’. For reliable software in C++ it is pretty common to have alternative integer type implementations that provide different fully defined behaviors and guarantees than the default integer types. This became legitimately transparent around C++17 IIRC. It is more or less drop-in and mostly produces optimal codegen. Also a good way to eliminate irritating integer behaviors inherited from C.

It is easy enough to crank out custom integer types in C++ these days which are arbitrarily safe that there isn’t much excuse for not doing it, particularly since generics and metaprogramming does most of the work. Outside of interfacing with syscalls, there isn’t much use for C primitives beyond size_t.
I wonder if that could have been achieved without an actual DSL. TableGen ultimately produces definitions for record types and a list of fully expanded records in those types, but those "types" don't have to be actual types during the generation phase---you can instead have a generic associative array that gets validated when every record has been generated. A distinction between `class` and `multiclass` can be removed by using an ordinary function that can generate one or more records. So I feel that everything can be done without the DSL, except for a bit nicer syntax.

IDK what you mean about 'auto' recentering. I think it does this though.

There used to be a zoom out/overview feature, but it's def not in Android Auto these days.
GM is the very same company who recently bricked nearly all of their new model Colorado mid-size trucks with an OTA update that drained the car batteries.

That they think they have the chops to roll their own system is rather laughable at best.

Oh well, at least they are used to losing billions by now.

It doesn't take much more than not going for the cheapest offshore team possible to make better car media center code than we get. I'm sure most of us could easily do it ourselves in a month or less. It seems like such a simple problem. Play songs and interface with some controls/radio receiver/etc while being at least a tiny bit conscious of efficiency.
I wonder if it would be profitable to make a bot that borrows money on here and doesn't pay it back.
the twitteresque counter.social social network is run by one guy, has been operating since 2017, and afaik the bills are paid simply through crowd funding.

In that light, I'd say that whether you can avoid investment capital in favor of a 100% bootstrap model is entirely a function of your ambitions.
> Who the hell wants "formalized encampments"?! We going to turn our cities into third-world-style shanty towns now like you can find on the outskirts of Nairobi?

I mean, it sounds like what you have now is worse. If your city is going to have an underclass either way, a formal shanty town seems less bad than a homeless encampment.

The underlying problem is obtaining the books. Even if you never register your ereader and never let it go online, you are just shifting the problem to a computer. They loose fine-grained details about what you are reading, but that's about it.

If you understand that and take proper precautions, I would imagine that any ereader that doesn't require registration would be fine. If you never put it online, it cannot accidentally go online. Plus it isn't tied to your name. Personally, I use Kobo. You have to jump through a hoop to bypass registration by modifying an SQLite database. Other than that there are no protections, so you aren't using sketchy software to realize that degree of privacy.
Interesting. I know IDE snippets are not the same, but I wish that they can do more than token replacement and have features that enable us to do the same.

Neovim has few snippet plugins that are powerful enough(after setup) to do similar code-gen but I think LSP servers might be more suitable to do this(based on a dsl may be) in an IDE agnostic way.
Brick by Brick is a great book about the history of Lego and how it came back from near bankruptcy. It reads like a business case study—turns out they were saved by a McKinsey consultant.

As long as it doesn't distract them from delivering my favorite browser year after year, I don't mind if their side products are silly attempts to draw in funding for Mozilla. A mastodon server seems like something right up their alley. I imagine I can connect to it directly from Thunderbird now that I think about it lol

I'm a lawyer. Some of the assertions here are a bit extreme, as is the headline, imo. The company can add a class waiver to its terms when it wants to. Whether it's enforceable against people who have a claim predating the terms update will be an interesting legal issue to debate. But let's not call them the devil.
I haven't had any real issues with Mazda over the years? I got it installed by them on a 10 year old car a few years ago and had no issues that weren't "the entire system wouldn't turn on" issues with a flaky battery or heat/cold extremes. The initial load time isn't stellar, but it loads into the phone interface cleanly and all the physical car buttons interface well with the phone. No complaints.
I'm not really a revolutionary about it, but those living "normal" lives are far from normal if they aren't stressed about the day-to-day.

It would be nice if life wasn't so stressful all the time for so many people. Look at all the wild drivers, the lack of camaraderie in basic everyday life interactions, you can point to all manner of social ills and if you empathize with those who are struggling to get by -- which is most people according to every statistic released in the last 6 years about it -- you would easily make the connection between worrying about not having a bed and enough food and the kinds of shitty behavior people end up enacting.

Those cities don't have a problem with homelessness because their cities either suck to live outside in the winter or suck to live outside in the summer.

You'll also note the high proportions allocated to police in every city budget (NYC cops get something like $5 billion per year!). The difference between some cities and others is primarily the level of controls they put on police re: homeless people because of progressive policies. The cities with hardline positions look better because the homeless are pushed out, not because the homeless find homes there.

AIKit: Build and deploy open-source LLMs easily with only Docker
I've recently switched to a dumb phone. Why keep an internet browsing device in my pocket if the internet's largest players are designing services that will turn a lot of its output into noise?

I don't know if I'll stick with the change, but so far I'm having fun with the experience.

The Israel/Gaza war is a large factor - I don't know what to believe when I read about it online. I can be more slow and careful about what I read and consume from my desktop, from trusted sources. I'm insulated from viral images sent hastily to me via social media, from thumbnails of twitter threads of people with no care if they're right or wrong, from texts containing links with juicy headlines that I have no hope of critically examining while briefly checking my phone in traffic.

This is all infinitely worse in a world where content can be generated by multi-modal LLMs.

I have no way to know if any of the horrific images/videos I've already seen thru the outlets I've identified were real or AI generated. I'll never know, but it's too important to leave to chance. For that reason I'm trying something new to set myself up for success. I'm still informed, but my information intake is deliberately slowed. I think that others may follow in time, in various ways.
A cell atlas is a collection of annotated cell types, clustered by similar gene expression. The proximity of the cell types as shown by the projection infer lineage, meaning one cell type begat another. By taking samples at various time points, you can unearth more and more (rare) cell types transitioning from cell type to another, giving you lineage specification from stem cells all the way down to the mature cell types of your tissue of choice. Here they went out on a limb and went with limb.
This is a common talking point, but Israel never once offered a real two state solution. All offers had a "poison pill" that they knew would get rejected, but they offered it for this exact talking point, to say they offered peace.

If you look up the actual offers and the negotiations around them, you'll see none of them even abided by international law, so they would have been illegal anyway.
Yes. There is often some custom work that may be needed. For example something like this:

Poor, persecuted, POTUS? He led an attack on the capitol to try to overturn his loss in the election. The "meaningless political prosecutions" you refer to is the legal system failing to function at a basic level and throw him in jail for sedition, and yes, it is frustrating and scary for the rest of the free world.
Eh, such a teenage level criticism of capitalism. You write like e.g. SQL or nosql hater, lacking the deeper understanding, and trying to write off the whole thing upfront and narrow your definition of big thing to a particular implementation you had dealt with.

Capitalism is very much like a programming tool/technology/pattern one can employ. It has pros and cons, isn't perfect, but can be "implemented" well or poorly.

We probably both agree that the implementation around us sucks big time. But it doesn't have to be that bad, and also needs to be compared with actual real alternatives.
> I sometimes like to muse on what a Victorian person would make of today if transported through time. Or someone from 16th century Europe. Or Archimedes. They’d mostly understand a lot, I think. But lately I’ve started to think of someone from the 1950s. They might even find today harder to understand than the others would.

why do you think someone from the 50s would find it harder to understand our time, than someone from an earlier age, even as far back as 2000 years?
Wow, that's pretty cool. Do we have a complete lineage for any other mature tissue/cell types?

Not the OP, but I'll give that a shot since I cut my assembly teeth on both of these, the Z80 and the '09 afterwards (and then back the 6502 because of the BBC Micro).

Both are fine processors, the 6502 was technically not quite where the 6800 was but nothing that you couldn't solve using a couple of macros (and a Macro assembler was table stakes for anybody serious enough to go after this stuff and so you rolled your own because buying one was prohibitively expensive).

The 6502 had an edge in available software and books, especially once the Commodore took hold. Community mattered, even back then! The 6800 was laid out much more sensible from an instruction set perspective, the term used is 'orthogonality', if you know the rules you can predict the existence of a particular mnemonic and parameters easily, whereas with the 6502 it was mostly a matter of learning it all by heart. Easy to do because both were tiny in comparison with todays CPUs. I suspect that's where the GP's nightmare comment relates to, the fact that the 6502 always felt like it could have been so much better if they had spent a bit more time on this subject.

The 6800, it's more modern and upgraded brother, the 6809 and the much larger 68000 all were much more logical and predictable. The Z80 became widespread due to - amongst others - Sinclair with the ZX-80 and ZX-81, and Radio Shack using them in their line of TRS-80 micro computers, and a large number of people cut their teeth on those. I had access to them at work (I worked for Tandy on Saturdays, which was the European name for RS) and never found that chip much to my liking, but it was the engine behind the CP/M software environment.

Programming in assembler (or even directly in machine code) is an exercise in abstraction to the point that you have to have a very good memory and to be able to limit the scope of what you are doing to be able to make any progress at all. But it beat the pants of BASIC (the most common alternative on micro computers at the time) in terms of speed and control so if you wanted to do anything serious with those machines that's how you did it.

The 6502 had awesome hardware support in terms of peripherals and the machines you found it in (with the BBC Micro model 'B' as the pinnacle of home computing at the time) and the 6800/6809 had an edge if you wanted to roll your own system from scratch. Various bus based systems (S-100, Eurocards, VME) gave you the option to build systems and to swap out the CPU with something else. The BBC again led the way here by speccing a bus called 'the Tube' (a pun on the London underground) that allowed you to build specialist co-processors that used the original BBC as an I/O processor.

I'll talk about fiction, since I've written some. If I write a ghost story it's because I enjoy ghost stories and want to take a crack at my own. While I don't know why ideas pop into my head, I do know that I pick the ones that are subjectively fun or to my taste. And if I do a clever job or a bad job I have a sense of it when I reread what I wrote.

These AI's aren't doing anything like that. They have no preference or intent. Their choices change depending on setting like temperature or prompts.

Or let's try a different example. Stephen King wrote a novel where he imagined the protagonist gets killed and eaten by the villain's pet pig (Misery). He struggled to come up with a different ending because he said nobody wants to read a whole novel just to see the main character die in the end. He thought about it and did a different ending.

Are you claiming Stephen King's conscious deliberation wasn't part of his writing process? I'd say it clearly was.

Also, I don't really understand the consciousness is an illusion argument. If none of us are conscious, why should I justify any copyright policy preference to you? That would be like justifying a copyright policy preference to a doorknob. But somehow I'm also a doorknob in this analogy???

Suppose Bob says he's conscious and Jim says he isn't and we believe them. Doesn't that suggest we would have different policy preferences on how they are treated? It would appear murdering Jim wouldn't be particularly harmful but murdering Bob would. I don't have to show how Jim and Bob's mind differ to prefer policies that benefit Bob over Jim.
I am sure they will be as successful as VW's software revolution, cariad, that's ejected a couple of CEOs and almost brought down the CEO of the parent. Here's a link in English: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/volkswagens-troubled-so... but the full story is utterly scandalous.

I've seen zero evidence that GM is even slightly more competent in this area.
Not at all what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, no one knows where the line between actually economic/useful/effective and 'not worth the trouble' actually is, let alone 'could be done without boiling the oceans'.

Right now it's all hand wavey, could do everything, etc. etc.
One inexact wording here I noticed: "Swiping right from the left edge of the screen does the same as pressing the Back button." If you're implementing that yourself, it's important it's not a swipe gesture, it's an edge pan gesture. It has to be an interactive, cancellable pan that follows your finger, or it just feels wrong.
Such a LLM model will never exist.

I watched the video, thanks.

I would recommend again the series I linked in my previous comment. The series creator says at one point, that had he been born a Jew, he would have been a hardcore Zionist; conversely, had he been born a Palestinian, he would have been a hardcore supporter of that side. One of the things the series does so well is, instead of presenting the history as a debate between two camps that needs to have a winner and loser, it tells the story. For all the major players in the story, it tells you not only what they did, but why they did it, and how they came to believe what they believe. And then it asks you what you would have done in their situation. After you've stared that question in the face, it's impossible to really hate either side IMO.

Depends on what you're trying to understand. They might not get how but it would be clear that the what hasn't changed yet. It's still about money, power, mating rights etc. Even in the face of our own demise.
If all this tech somehow managed to change the what then we might become truly incomprehensible to previous generations.

West Bank also has to suffer constant raids from the IDF in addition to settler violence. Over 100 people had already died in such raids before oct. 7 just this year. They’re land has been partitioned, there are military checkpoints they must go through when the travel inside the West Bank. Many Palestinians are arrested on a regular basis, sometimes without any charges (administrative detention).

Settler violence is also a pretty big deal there, it ranges from vandalism, theft, murder and terrorism. This often goes unpunished and sometimes the IDF even helps settlers steal houses and land from West Bank Palestinians. Note that settlers may even include very conservative Floridians who just moved to “Israel” and feel entitled to a house owned and occupied by a Palestinian family.

July 2022: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/22/apple-carplay-could-be-a-tro...

Not sure how they arrived at the number (maybe only new vehicles), but there was a claim that 79% of US carbuyers would insist on carplay support

Apple engineering manager Emily Schubert said 98% of new cars in the U.S. come
with CarPlay installed. She delivered a shocking stat: 79% of U.S. buyers would
only buy a car if it supported CarPlay.

“It’s a must-have feature when shopping for a new vehicle,” Schubert said
during a presentation of the new features.
