The reason I stick with vim/emacs isn't because of the "fast editing", it's because they're modular and easy to build plugins for. I've built many job specific plugins for both editors as well as wrapped new command lines tools this way, and it's always increased my productivity far beyond what modal bindings has done for me. This is how I've been approaching LLMs, by building my own plugin. I build my own tools that behave as I would expect them to, which is generally to get out of the way unless I ask for them, and work in a pipe like manner.

Having a programmable programming environment with an open source core that's easy to dissect is really what modern editors lack. Also, having a piece that can't be removed or a black box doing who knows what with my code is hard for me to even wrap my head around. To each there own.

It is auto-redirecting to the @types/three package and getting the types from DefinitelyTyped. You can see that in the breadcrumbs, but it might be something that could be better highlighted (and maybe even redirect the URL to make even more obvious to developers).
No, there's a huge difference.

Regular consumer cameras are designed to be as close as possible to what the human eye sees. They're very obviously chosen to be responsive to R, G and B. Not infrared, yellow and UVB.

An image like this is not meant to try to match the human eye.

To try to say all cameras don't match the eyes is a false equivalence. Some are purposefully trying to match, some are purposefully trying not to (like this one).

Have you seriously looked at/studied XAML?

I was convinced that XAML was the perfect answer for rust and had the idea that I could write an independent XAML library/engine that rust appdevs would use and then match to a backend that would codegen the XAML into code that utilizes its corresponding api.

I had a sample that worked with both imgui and one of the other rust gui engines (not immediate mode) to prove it could be done. Biggest benefit was abstraction from actual ui toolkit choice (inspired by Windows where you can use a subset of the same XAML with WPF, Avalonia, WinUI 3, UWP, Noesis, Uno) and being able to take an imperative ui library like ImGUI and use it in a declarative fashion. Moreover, you could reuse existing XAML designers or avail yourself of XAML export functionality in some design software, without having any of that be rust-specific.

I put out feelers in the community to gauge interest but I think XAML is too foreign to most FOSS devs that picked up Rust early on and people couldn’t see what I saw in it (having worked with XAML for over a decade in C# land).

I don't think anyone can meaningfully predict the AI bubble. Expert predictions go anywhere from galactic colonization bubble (do they collapse at the edge of the galaxy as resources get scarce, or continue on to the rest of the universe?) to whole-world GDP bubbles, to big tech bubbles, startup bubbles, etc. I haven't seen convincing evidence for a probability density that isn't fairly smeared over all these options and wide timescales.

Unlike traditional bubbles we get qualitatively different outcomes at greater scale. A million GPT-2s is nothing like 1 GPT-4. Researchers are continually surprised by new abilities at greater scales.
Yes indeed. It's only "censorship" when the government demands it. Engaging in voluntary moderation is not censorship in a meaningful sense. It is, in fact, an aspect of freedom of speech that people should not be compelled to engage in speech that they don't want to engage in.
> Yes, users are very understandably miffed that things which were working are suddenly broken and somebody now has to fix it in order to return to the status quo.

You are misunderstanding. You can continue to keep using applications in X11-mode for as long as those applications maintain that code path. But many of the niceties Wayland provides, X11 won't get because it is virtually unmaintained.

Or said another way, X11 is already broken and getting slightly more broken every day.

And before you get angry at X11 going unmaintained, would you have expected Apple to support Carbon ad-infinitum?

Look at the backwards-compatibility and new-framework-adoption-rate woes Windows has to deal with because Win32 exists and devs are lazy / expensive.
He gets enough wrong throughout the article that I can’t really draw much from his conclusions. Fun food for thought though as I do agree we are in an AI bubble. Regardless of that though for anyone using these models the transcendent change to daily productivity/workflows have been mind boggling. Intellectuals like to opine and fail to see enough value or have the capacity to build value and that’s why they remain intellectuals and not practitioners.

I work in AI now and spent 3 years in the crypto space, to say crypto has left nothing of value really is an over simplistic view. To say Uber is a failed company (I worked at a ride share company too), wow. Does he not remember the utter hellscape of getting a taxi in SF 10 years ago?

The executives at these companies (mine too) openly declare a bubble similar to .com in the offing, cash in on it while you can. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get early access to some of these models we’ve got cooking to use for personal projects ;).

The problem that most people aren't even aware of is that Jupiter(and maybe others?

It's a huge factor in any proposed missions to its moons - like, it would be awesome to explore Europa, the concept is fascinating, but its surface is deadly due to radiation coming from Jupiter.
About twice as many people moved from NYC to CT/PA/NJ as moved to Florida -- which makes sense given that the people moving out are generally poorer than average and long-distance moves are expensive.
This is true. It's so depressing to have your salary and responsibility go up, but still have the same living circumstances as you did when you had your first job out of college.

I still don't have a laundry machine or a thermostat, I have holes in my walls from when my landlord half-did things, my rent has gone up, and I'm expected to continue to do more and get more responsibility.

Something's gotta give. I'm not sure what it's gonna be.

I still have no idea how people get so productive with the use of LLMs. I've had it maybe cut out some boilerplate for me occasionally but that's about it. So many times the solutions are wrong or poorly written.

It's not useless, but it has certainly not been a 2x improvement.

There are many ways to write unit tests, as well as writing code that is easy to test. I don't know how my ways differs from yours, but I don't have much of the problems you mention.

We do have some integration test, of course. But it's a small part of the total test suite.
Believe it or not, but I lived through the whole broken experience of AI previews in JetBrains products by... just ignoring the whole thing.

Sure, I got "sign up now!!!" buttons that did nothing for me. I learned after, like, the first 3 times of clicking these not to do that again.

Then, I was, at some point, able to sign up for the preview. It was underwhelming. Like most other offerings in this space.

Meanwhile, all the core IDE functionality continued working as before... And all was good...
I don't believe so. Many things you see in space like nebula, would not really be visible to the naked eye even if you were in the middle of them. Don't let the fact that primate eyes can't see it detract from the grandeur though.

Even the planet itself would be dim, at 20AU from the sun, it would be 400x dimmer than the earth, close to the brightness of dawn/dusk on earth.
Can you elaborate: why are the rings not visible on that image? Is it because they are outside the frame, or too faint, or don't appear in the visible spectrum? Something else?

This might be why I still resist management stuff: I dislike accepting responsibility for the problems of the org because I know they will eat up more time and energy than any accompanying pay increase. And then I get resentful because I'm supposed to be the one holding things together.

> An AI assistant fundamentally hits at Google's gut: Search ad revenue.

I understand this argument, having made it multiple times in the past - any development at google that threatens the cash cow will, ultimately, go nowhere. Why, after all, would they spend money developing something that reduces their income.

After a little bit of thinking about it, I offer an alternate future for google+AI: the AI improves their ad relevancy to such a degree that it makes google search more valuable, not less.

With all the data they have on each individual using their search, it is not inconceivable that that data + an inferior model beats out a superior model that has less context.

If QM is correct and there is no "deeper" hidden variable theory that explains the movement of all particles, then you're wrong.

Heisenberg uncertainty as it exists in QM today is not a statement about your knowledge, it is a statement about the possible interactions between particles. It tells you that if a particle collides with another at a specific point in space, then their trajectories after that collision can't depend on the momentum of either particle, for example, because that would violate the inequality.

This indeed does not necessarily imply randomness per se. But it is much more than a statement about precision of measurements at a human scale: it is a statement about the possible interactions at even the lowest scales.

He's talking about the value proposition RIGHT NOW which is for higher accuracy but also more expensive (because you'd need the same human in the loop + pay for the AI) and how that's different from how AI is being pitched right now which is save money and use less people.

Recalibrate how you feel about division and multiplication. It turns out, integer division on new processors is a 1 cycle process (and has been for a while now). Most of the multicycle instructions now-a-days are things like SIMD and encryption.
Your emphasis on true color is worth underscoring. I think it's a bit unfair to publish a photo like this one from James Webb without providing a few less-stylized edits for comparison, and an explanation of what the colorization process entailed. Obviously as an infrared photo there isn't going to be any edit that gives us a great idea of what it would look like to the eye, but it seems like they chose the most wondrous-looking settings in photoshop on this one, as opposed to the truest.

Having static types is like having an automatic, exhaustively comprehensive, efficient unit test generator for the classes of bugs whose units tests are the most boring and annoying to write and maintain. Static types don't prevent you from needing unit tests, they free you up to focus on writing tests that are actually interesting.
Actually, how are 1 and 2 different? If 2 simply refers to another layer of reality, don't we still have to figure out if it's deterministic or not? I suppose if it has its own completely different (or slightly different[1]) physics, we'd be starting over, but we'd still work our way back to the question of top-level determinism eventually).

This would make sense if the population growth was increasing but at a slower rate. But, the population is actively declining. Somehow, 5.3% of people went from having housing to leaving, so I don’t think housing is the only story here.
＞ how a new grad excited about writing code could find a mentor and really up their game in the remote world

Everyone's different, you wanted a mentor next to you, many don't enjoy that relationship. To answer your question, looking at the fresh graduates we take, extremely detailed code reviews, a lot of chat and some pair coding on the overly difficult parts seems to be working good enough for them to reach a decent level within about half a year.
That's not "another way to put it", that's a completely different claim. Now if you'd like to make the claim that Wayland is actually developing at a great pace because the first 10 years didn't really count, that's plausibly defensible in some ways, though I'm not sure how we could objectively tell[0].

> The idea that X11 was a completely working option which had every capability it does today within years of its inception is wrong.

It's also not something anyone is arguing, and something that's not really meaningful because we have Xorg already. At best, you're arguing that Wayland actually has a chance to catch up even though it hasn't in the first 15 years.

> Wayland, OTOH, has almost reached parity with X11 rapidly,

Debatable but possible,

> does things that X11 is not even capable of,

Capable of without more extensions, but who's counting?

> and has a roadmap to reach complete parity.

Yeah, no. Wayland has roadmaps to someday hope to implement a lot of features, but explicitly is designed to not cover others and AFAIK has nobody working on others. There is not, and probably never will be, a wayland protocol to separate the window manager from the display server. There could be but AFAIK isn't any effort to let programs manipulate windows in a portable way (read: there will never be accessibility tools that work on all, or even most, compositors). Wayland is aiming for ~90% feature parity with X, and may someday reach it.

---

[0] I can think of some metrics you could use, but they're all hopelessly entangled in confounding variables. For example, we could graph number of X11 window managers released per year against Wayland compositors released per year, but even if you could pin down good numbers they're happening in completely different ecosystems and contexts. Likewise, we could make up a list of features and when they were added, but it seems a bit unreasonable to ex. hold it against X11 that nobody cared about HiDPI for the first ~30 years it existed.

This is a very interesting question, and the linked study does not address it, only "net migration" to "other parts of the country." IANAD[1] but I suspect the census estimate data is not actually capable of addressing your specific question - how could you tell who was coming from where? But as jeffbee suggested there might be a way to tease it out.

The study mentions remote work being part of the reason for the shift; this also confounds "city-to-suburb" versus "city-to-Midwest" migration since it's harder to cross-check against employment statistics - again, without more detailed surveys.

> So like nearly every other X11 user, my X11 server is not exposed to the network at all.

Are you misunderstanding what the OP meant by "socket"? It doesn't have to literally be a network socket, but your X11 apps all connect to the server via some IPC mechanism, could be a network socket or a local named pipe (I think it lives out in /var/, but I'm not on a Linux system atm). Their point was there is no client authentication or separation via this IPC mechanism: one X11 application can send messages directly to another X11 application. That's where their example of a malicious app inserting text into a sudo terminal comes from. You can see this for yourself using a virtual keyboard program. It's just an X11 app like any other, it's just injecting messages for the server to dispatch to another client.
