All of the JetBrains users sitting around comparing notes, trying to figure out what was wrong with our coworkers that they thought eclipse was worth using, let alone defending.

JetBrains has plenty of problems, which they seem to want to address but I fear Fleet won’t fix, and I lament but understand people wanting something lighter these days, but eclipse isn’t even in that conversation.
Not true. Brakes need time to dump heat. With repeated hard braking it's not too hard to overwhelm the brakes on most cars.
Driving food- and medical-adjacent stuff off of Amazon and their un-checked mixed-binning insanity would be fantastic. They've been allowed to play fast and loose with safety for far too long.
Current performant (high accuracy) LLMs have a quadratic cost (space and time) in sequence length, they have a finite size typically much less than any KG of note, their connections are all fuzzy, they aren't especially amenable to small updates, training and fine-tuning don't work well with high-entropy data, and most computations physically cannot be done via any single pass through an LLM regardless of how it was trained.

Those constraints together create a landscape where if you have a big knowledge graph there will invariably be important questions the LLM cannot appropriately answer about it, no matter which strategy you use to try to ramrod the KG into an LLM architecture. If you don't train/fine-tune the LLM on the KG, it doesn't have enough context to answer your questions. If you do, your KG doesn't have enough data duplication to allow training to work well. If you manage to train it anyway, you can't ask compounded questions because of the max LLM circuit depth. If you try anyway and just run the results back into the LLM as input you have a compounding error effect because the whole thing is fuzzy. If you try to circumvent that with error-reduction techniques you tend to blow through the current context windows (quadratic costs) and still have unreliable results. And so on.

None of that is necessarily true forever, but suppose you have a problem where a KG is a natural fit but some of the data is a little fuzzy (you have pretty good graphs of how cities and roads and individuals and companies and whatnot are related, but it's not perfect, and some of it is textual or not otherwise appropriately structured). The KG can answer a number of queries very well, limited by the lack of structure in the node/edge representations. An LLM can't do much because it can't compress all those possible edges into its weights, because it can't fit the whole KG in a context window, it can't be appropriately fine-tuned to the data, and even if it could it couldn't recurse well without compounding error. If you instead use the LLM as a pre-processing step on the nodes or as a fuzzy neighbor search (restricted by the KG) or in some other way, you get a data structure that looks a lot more like a better prepared clean KG and can run traditional KG algorithms to ask questions like who might need your tax prep services or whatever. Getting an LLM to do that for the same cost will take a _ton_ of engineering beyond what I've seen poured into the space.

Regarding Atropine :

A July 2023 report from NIH (the US government's biomedical and public health research body) is titled "Low-dose atropine eyedrops no better than placebo for slowing myopia progression".

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/low-dose-atrop...

It infers a possible significant racial or genetic divide in the effectiveness of the atropine treatment, also given that some other atropine studies, which show success, tend (as far as I've seen) to involve Asian demographics.

In any case, I am a total layperson, only here to note that fairly authoritative sources (e.g. in this case, a co-author being a professor of ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University) appear to still be at odds about the application and demographic effectiveness of the atropine treatment, about which several general claims are made elsewhere in these HN comments.
There is a different, clever way to analyze the problem thinking about energy and work.

Work is by definition (work) = (force) x (distance), or the same thing expressed as an integral.

Distance is the same, that’s a parameter of the problem. If we say that the brakes apply constant deceleration, then that implies that the force is the same, between both cars. Then the amount of energy shed by both cars is the same before they reach the barrier. (We don’t need to use the integral definition for work here, because force is a constant.)

This explains why the people who assumed that both cars dump the same amount of energy arrived at the same result, even though some of the people in this thread appear to be using faulty reasoning.
It's still easily in my top5 most played games of all time
I think you're confused. The sqft is roughly how much they can cover in one go before either the bin is full or the battery is low. You can configure your Roomba to do multiple cleaning jobs in a day, each cleaning certain rooms on that floor. Or just pick up the vac, put it down anywhere in the house, and press the button.
I grew up before SUV existed. I had siblings. Somehow we survived.
Many countries around the world don't have an SUV epidemic. Somehow families there make it work with smaller cars, even today.
Many people around the world have large families and zero cars. Somehow they
make it work.

People are MADE to want big cars by advertisements.

Other than the emissions standards mentioned by other commenters, the real solution is to ban car advertisements. We should ban gambling and alcohol advertisements as well. It worked for tobacco.
You can make a small car manage potholes well and you can put big wheels and tiny sidewalls on a larger car. It's a matter of design and aesthetics. Sometimes aesthetics win and sometimes mechanical design wins.

how much money you have on that account? my guess is that you're a poor customer they're harassing.
It's now called "a dormant account" and they will take your money :)

Look it up for your country. You are about to lose that money :)

Friendly suggestion, stop playing hardball and give them the paperwork they seek. Dormant accounts can be either 'honest' ones (you) or accounts that remain open waiting to funnel the moneys from that fraud, etc.
I'd like to see a fully distributed version. All you need is 4B hosts (IPV6 FTW) named N.domain.com (where N varies from 0 to 4B-1). The driver app sends N to the first host (0.domain.com). Each host compares the incoming N with their N.domain.com name; if they match, return the host's true/false value. If they don't match, forward the request to (N+1).domain.com and return the result.
Kitchen knives have multiple uses and discretion through education is expected as standard.

I agree. We really need to stop bringing roads through cities.

The article says "Interestingly, these are the only strategies to create excess profit that Schumpeter’s model allows." The article doesn't mention going into a business with strong network effects and establishing a de-facto monopoly. See Thiel's "Zero to One". Schumpeter was writing in an era when railroads were trying to do that. They hadn't quite succeeded; there were still many small railroads.

The big change has been the development of businesses that scale really, really well, along with the management techniques to run them. The former is well known in Silicon Valley. The latter is less widely realized.

Big companies used to have a huge administrative problem. There were giant corporate headquarters buildings full of people literally pushing paper. "The World is Run on Tracks of Printed Paper" - Moore Business Forms slogan. Railroads had trouble keeping track of their freight cars. Auto companies had trouble keeping track of where their cars were in transit. Plants had to be self-sufficient and carry big inventories. These problems got worse with scale, for combinatoric reasons.

That was the real win of the era of mainframe computing. The problems of bureaucratic scale were gradually overcome. This removed old natural limits on the size of companies. At last, burger chains could be expanded to planetary scale.

With the administrative problems out of the way, any industry which had marketing or supply based network effect began to tend towards a very small number of players. It took a while, but now we're there. Today, the US has two major drug store chains, two major hamburger chains, three big banks...

Schumpeter didn't have examples that to look at. Railroads have a network effect, but that's because they are a network, and they were regulated, or, in many counties, state-owned. Telephone, telegraph, and electric power companies were recognized as natural monopolies, so they were regulated utilities.
Perhaps the closest example of his era was The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company ("A&P"), once the largest grocery chain. They operated grocery stores from 1863 to 2015. But they were not strongly dominant in Schumpeter's day; that came a few decades later.
A lot of tax evation going on right in the open so I don't see how much this prevents other than some small time crooks.
There's really no substitute for having a big car. Sure it's possible to live with a small car (I've done it), but having more interior space and cargo capacity makes everything so much easier. Especially if you have children who participate in team sports.
Of course don't overpay. The goal is to underpay.
you can certainly write functional UI using a differential 'pure core state on the outside model' (someone here had a discussion that gave this thing a name)
The problem arises when you're not using old libraries and frameworks. You're using new stuff, and come across an old, unmaintained library you'd like to use.

Hey, it uses the same frameworks you're using --- except, oh, ten years ago.

Before you can use it, you have to get it working with the versions of those frameworks you're using today.

Someone did that already before you. They sent their patch to the dead project, but didn't get a reply, so nobody knows about it.
What information do you have to provide? If it is just about the transaction itself I don’t see what the problem is. They obviously already know with whom you’re transacting.
Actually you can't easily take all of your cash out. Yes i would if it was easy, also in the form of gold and even bitcoin. This would place me on a number of laundering lists. Where i live it is illegal to transact more than 500 euro in cash
> And sometimes you get people like me, who eat yoghurt without checking the ingredients because you shouldn't need to, only to then find out that for some crazy reason American food companies put beef gelatine into theirs.

They made a product and told you what was in it. You're not required to read the ingredients first but you have the opportunity to. Are you proposing that we ban beef gelatin?

> if you rely on "common sense" people will die, and have died. It's happened with surprise nuts, despite that one being well known.

But what are you even suggesting here? That you can't make a product with nuts if someone might not expect it, even if you labeled it?
I kind of agree. Bitcoin sucks for every day use. I would like to use crypto when it works as well as credit/debit cards.
If memory serves, fully loaded Eclipse would take about 20-25% more memory than IntelliJ, which was itself rightfully called greedy.

At the time most of us felt it was worth the cost of entry for all of the tools you got, which eclipse had a subset of.
When I first started coding, I thought loop structures were confusing and redundant when I could accomplish the same thing with GOTO. So that’s how I implemented all my loops for years until I eventually took a course and a teacher told me I was never to use GOTO again.
I write from experience. My parent's Ford focus wheel fell off after hitting a pot hole. Not even a big one. Just less sturdy components that rusted.
Tried it.

It's polished so well done and the p2p / e2e aspects are novel but it's too heavy and complex for what I need a bit like Obsidian.

I personally find a lot of these note taking apps relish in the act of note taking itself and lose the purpose of the note itself, which for me, is to drive forward intent.

With that in mind I have started to play with Heynote from recent HN post a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38733968).

Its pitched as a scratchpad for devs, for me it's like notepad on steroids and more suited to my needs where notes are transitory things I store to help me get from A to B to C...
Since the author mentions RHIDE it reminded me of Motor. I haven’t used it but might be interesting for anyone interested in a 90s style TUI IDE on Linux. It’s written in C++ and using classic ncurses.

I used to play Liero with my cousin for hours. It just barely would not fit a 1.44MB floppy. We downloaded it so many times over 14.4k dialup, go out to grab dinner with the family, come back to a dropped connection.
I was thinking the same. Wouldn’t it be better to let agents buy access to your site? It wasn’t feasible with the Google monopoly. Now with dozens of agents competing for info it seems feasible to put a tollbooth in front of your site.
I wish he would show his face and do interviews. He's rather obsessed with Google linking him to wrong faces. I am curious to know what he looks like, his interests, background, etc
> That is one of the goals of banks in most countries

That BECAME one of the goals. 40 years ago when majority of transactions were in cash, the bank's couldn't do this. Once we got credit/debit cards, the game changed and (we) by using cards instead of cash we freely hand them over the data.

It doesn't help that countries have a €500 max cash limit for purchases etc. But for the everyday man/woman, and for their everyday lives, there are very few payments to that amount (laptop, phone, car, furniture). Most other payments can be done with cash, and then the bank has very little info on you.
> any news here from China where y'all don't end up on the China is bad

Just to say: this is real bad. Very hazardous to their own people both long and short term. There are historical reasons why they do it, but they could do things differently if they would want to. The underlying reason is that the system does not value the life of the people living in that area.

> we are good

The US has many systemic problems. But in this particular regard they are absolutely the good ones. The US exhibits a lot of systematic disregard toward the health of its population and select subsects of it. This particular kind of careless disregard would not be acceptable in the US.

All in all, you might be right about your point. But this is the worst example to bring it up under.
If vertico and context-menu-mode were defaults you might not be able to say that.

Or just the menu and toolbar weren't immediately disabled by most.
You said most people have a stake, and I asked you to be specific about that. And you didn’t.

When you say most people have a stake, are you saying 51% or above of people have a stake? Can you quantify that to clarify your point?

40% of Americans rent. Do they have a stake?
I will happily fill an hour with trash talking Microsoft, but getting the father of Delphi on board is one of the shrewdest things they’ve managed. I wish he’d found a different project to sink his teeth into though.
I write from experience: large cars just fall apart. My rental SUV with 150 miles had a wheel falling off.

Dude, you do understand that making extrapolations onto all cars from a single datapoint is idiocy?
Pedestrians aren't getting killed more often because cars are bigger. They're not being seen due to low visibility from A pillar designs. SUVs used to be quite boxy and large in the 90s and early 00s (think 90s Ford Explorer, Chevy Suburban, etc), but began to take on a more streamlined, car-like look in the late 00s / early 10s. As a result of this design shift to crossovers, the A column gets slanted and blocks a wide field of view that especially affects drivers when making left turns. This coupled with a higher ride height means pedestrians aren't getting seen, especially at night.

If you look at the stats, virtually the entire increase in pedestrian deaths over the last 10 years has occurred at night.
I think it is a necessary evil if you will otherwise society would have a huge amount of uptick in criminal activities.

Also, banks have literally automated alarm and triggers in place to flag transactions for reviews.

Famous HSBC case comes to mind.
This is a so.ewhay wealthy country and lots of people are into crypto. It looks like many banks are trying to stop people from cashing in based on the media that I read.
> Canada also has a major housing crisis due to not building enough housing for population growth (which is entirely immigration, Canada's population would shrink without it).

I am not sure if this logic is accurate. There can be housing shortage if people move to certain part of the country internally too. USA has 'housing crisis' but houses are plenty and cheap in peoria IL.
The irony here is that the comment itself that's up for discussion (ie. whether a car is "full size") is also on the internet, and therefore I can flip your argument of "internet is a dumpster fire of half truths, infotainment, and objective falsehoods. I'll take human memory with all its warts over most of what's on the web any day" right back at you. What makes one random commenter's assertion that it's a full sized car more correct than another comment that claims the opposite?
This is so great!!! Nice work!
Gemini vs GPT-4V: A Comparison and Combination of VLMs Through Qualitative Cases
Mechanically, over 300 miles, you take an airplane rather then drive 5 hours to your destination if it’s a life of death situation. Making bigger batteries is a giant waste of resources there.
In my experience most issues are not really musel issues but incorrect usage of libc where glibc used some "magic" to make that incorrect usage somehow somewhat work, at the cost of higher complexity which more then one time lead to security issues due to a larger attack surface.

So in general I would recommend testing with musel and fix whatever issues you run into in a non-musel specific way.

Through then I guess at work many people do not have time/resources for stuff like that.
“don’t fuck with citizens you pull over before explaining why you pulled them over” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
I also wonder the role social contagion has in it all. Not to detract from the issues GP or others in here are reporting, but most if not all symptoms of long covid could potentially be psychosomatic. Of the people I know who suffered longterm effects like this, every single one had very stressful jobs / lives or a lot of anxiety previous to infection.

I'm also reminded of my mother who suffered from electromagnetic hypersensitivity and would shut off the wifi at night because she couldn't sleep. Years later her general situation has changed to the better due to certain developments in her life, and the issue has since disappeared completely and the wifi hums on happily during the night now, with her sleep having improved significantly overall. That's all to say that we know social contagion and psychosomatism are a thing.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to have this discussion because some people won't even consider this possibility and default to painting skeptics as inhumane brutes.
You mean the cars that had GPS maps and cruise control anyway will have to take the speed limit from the GPS map and apply it to the cruise control? Horror, the cost!
Why do you have to give any reason at all. I never got any reason in USA 90% of the time.
What if the government stops acting in your best interests or isn't acting in your best interests now?
I think cars getting taller also doesn't help (pop over the hood vs. trampled underneath), but I'm not sure...
Yes, they are the primary business deputized by the state to surveil and control you. Not just EU banks, but all banks world wide. The whole point is to allow you to engage in commerce only in ways permitted by your government. Not only that, but the idea is to put as many people in the position where they cannot own anything or possess anything of value that cannot be instantly confiscated by the government if it chooses to do so, without resorting to the messy business of coming and getting you. They just turn off your financial access, and you cannot even pay your rent or feed yourself.

It's disgusting, I agree.

The drone situation might be plausible. There's another product in a different area that says it's 1.63 kg and 120 mm diam x 120 mm height. Takes maybe 10 W to run. A decent full computer (not a custom chip) weighs ~3.5 kg at 10-15 W use.

4.7" x 4.7" seems reasonable for some drones. Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle the smallest class of drone is: < 20 lb (9.1 kg)

It would also fit into the Micro air vehicles (MAV) and larger categories. Micro starts at: >= 250 gm & < 2 Kg. Large is considered 150 kg.
I think Lock-Pick Lawyer's views on this are germane (paraphrasing):

Unfortunate you are being downvoted - this is _exactly_ what happened.

Ordinary people who funded, in small amounts, a grassroots non-violent protest that the ruling political party disagreed with and found inconvenient had their bank accounts frozen.

They could not access their legally obtained funds, nor have additional legally obtained funds deposited.

There is no precedent for an action like this.

It is a good reminder of exactly what can and will happen with digital money - much like cloud video games, movies and music it is not actually yours - it can and will be revoked at any time by the platform for any reason.
Thanks for sharing this here, it really does appear to be the primary culprit. If anything the larger the vehicle the more fuel efficient it should be, not the opposite.

But that is just one part of the puzzle.

The other is of course just normal marketing, advertising, etc. convincing people that they do lots of things outdoors that they don't actually do. Ford, GM, Toyota, Dodge, etc. are not the only ones guilty of this of course as Patagonia, REI, Apple (Ultra watch), and other companies that tout the Great American Outdoors have suckered us (me included) into these outdoor lifestyle brands as well. They all make fine products, of course, but people who tend to want trucks want them because of what they think they enable.
