I was expecting the author to mention Smalltalk because I distinctly remember people praising Smalltalk for its IDE but I think the IDE I was thinking of is from the late 90s or early 00s.
This is a great comment. Will be implementing this in the next push.
The NYT is preparing for a tsunami by building a sandcastle. Big picture, this suit won’t matter, for so many reasons. To enumerate a few:

1. Next gen LLMs will be trained exclusively on “synthetic”/public data. GPT-4V can easily whitewash its entire copyrighted training corpus to be unrecognizably distinct (say reworded by 40%, authors/sources stripped, etc). Ergo there will be no copyright material for GPT-5 to regurgitate.

2. Research/hosting/progress will proceed. The US cannot stop this, only choose to be left behind. The world will move on, with China gleefully watching as their biggest rival commits intellectual suicide all to appease rent seeking media companies.

3. Models can share weights, merge together, cooperate, ablate, evolve over many generations (releases), etc. Copyright law is woefully ill equipped to handle chasing down violators in this AI lineage soup, annealed with data of dubious/unknown provenance.

I could go on, but the point is that, for better or worse, we live in a new intellectual era. The NYT et al are coming along for the ride, whether they like it or not.
People still forget Eclipse when it comes to a full-blown yet not bloated IDE. That thing consumes less than a bare bones VSCode install while running 5x the tools. It can handle everything from code to git to CI/CD and remote development since 2013.

I'm using it for 20 years and I think it's the unsung hero of the IDE world.

This article doesn't mention it either as a modern GUI IDE.

More evidence for an ECC, obtained by looking at how the 10 output bits of the function depend on its 256 input bits:

Each of the 10 parity bits output by the function is the xor of exactly 104 of the 256 input bits.

Each of the 256 input bits contributes to (= is xor-ed into) either 3 or 5 of the 10 parity bits.

This is in line with the SEC-DED (single error correction, double error detection) ECC construction from the following paper:

https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~culler/cs252-s02/papers/hs...

Translating the above observations about the function into properties of the H matrix in the paper:

Each row of the matrix contains an identical number of ones (104).

Each column of the matrix contains an odd number of ones (3 or 5).

You know the proverb about Nazis: You are either a good person and smart, then you cannot be a Nazi, or you can be smart and a Nazi, then you cannot be a good person, or a good person and a Nazi, then cannot be smart.

If you vote for the AfD, you know full well what ideology they stand for. Very best case, you are tacitely supportive, but more likely to be firmly in the AfD camp. Or just manipulated, and that's why propaganda is the right word to use.

And yes, a ton of the anti-renewables / pro-nuclear talking points in Germany are actually just that: right wing propaganda.

Interesting, I wasn't aware how much the language had evolved from the mid 1970s through the early 1980s.

However, this line in your article would seem to indicate that GOSUB was available in the original version:

>The first version of the language was extremely limited, compared to any later popular version of BASIC. The only supported keywords apart from math functions were: LET, PRINT, END, FOR...NEXT, GOTO, GOSUB...RETURN, IF...THEN, DEF, READ, DATA, DIM, and REM.
> Is that fair use?

As always, the answer is.. "it depends". I guess it depends mostly on the jurisdiction that applies to you. "Fair use" can have rather different legal meaning (or not exist at all) in different countries.

Another key concept is that there's no "elite", there are elites, plural, which may cooperate or engage in intramural conflict. The military-industrial complex, Republican elites, media elites, and to some degree Hollywood elites cooperated to our detriment during the Bush years. But any analysis which sees them as a single blob will miss the conflicts and realities, hence the inane schizoposting ("Soros = CIA = military-industrial complex = mainstream media = Chinese Communist Party" as an all-powerful colluding elite, which prevents any useful analysis).

Yet another problem is that once people realize psyops exist, they tend to go off the deep end (if they already distrust any elite interest group) and reflexively disagree with all goals they attribute to those elites ("they say Russia bad = I'll support Russia"). Essentially the psyops are backfiring and creating a populace so distrustful that some people will reject domestic psyops only to replace them with foreign psyops, because they have a strong need for a narrative, and a great number of narratives are elite-created.

> Modern cars are much, much more reliable and durable than ones built at any time in the past

May I know the timeframe and your experience on which you base the conclusion?

Been driving for last 35 years. Every newer car is crappier in every possible way - comfort, speed, durability, quality, reliability.

It's not some subjective observations - some 40-50 years ago automakers were accomodating customers, now they accommodate numerous limitations imposed by governments to make it "safer". And I am not even touching engine limitations thanks to which we have weak motors which roar like boeing at 5k rpm but still doesn't help to move car forward.

Cars made in 70-80s easily work for 40 years, if managed properly and made by nissan, mercedes-benz, toyota and sorts. Good luck modern garbage to live slightly longer than warranty without majour issues.
Everyone is engaged in propaganda. I called this guy out because he only named the usual "bad guys". You don't have to talk to me like I am 12 but since you insist, i am going to repeat it: everyone is doing it.

That said, the ones doing it the most are those with most resources. So, the US and us vassals working for our "partners" across the Atlantic.
Huh? Did you miss the modulo operator?
Well, have you considered US presidents evil for their invasions, occupations, and wars, or do you consider the people they invaded to be evil? When whole countries are being starved and routinely bombed, is that what they deserve for not being correctly enlightened and choosing the wrong leaders, or is it the fault of bombers and blockaders? Are some brutal dictators not so bad because they're on "your side"? Are accusations of genocide against enemies believed even without solid evidence while accusations against allies are misinformation?
But Eclipse was often laggy and slow. So it felt bloated to the users than VS Code which is snappier even though it is bigger
> It archives for offline use and fully indexes every page you visit.

Oh, I also made a tool to do this! Never open-sourced, since it’s an utter pain to set up and the UX is terrible, but amazingly useful all the same.

Incidentally: how does DownloadNet work? My tool uses a browser extension to send the full-text of each webpage to a server, but yours doesn’t seem to have a corresponding extension, so I can’t see how it would retrieve the text.
No. The US has subsidized the hell out of nuclear historically [1] and also in recent years [2]. Without subsidies, commercial nuclear development would never have happened in the first place and we would be shutting down plants faster than we already are because of economics. This also excludes all the VC money that has flowed into nuclear startups.

It's mentioned in the talk, the software interrogates speed data from odometers.
Personally, I have no idea, and don't think you could even pinpoint a single cause.

There's a book that goes over it called Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam, but that is two decades old now and clearly didn't capture everything.
Even simpler:

Step 1: give me your edited `.tex` file.

Step 2: I selectively merge it into mine.

Step 3: There is no step 3.

To selectively merge, I use `meld` https://meldmerge.org/ but there are others.

Benefits of this even simpler approach:

- We continue to use the tools we are used to.

- We and our software don't have to learn a new inline diff format.

- Both files retain valid syntax before and during the selective merge.

- I can choose chunks to accept with a simple mouse click instead of editing a diff chunk.

Very much this!

And to the parents comment, they are seldom "lucrative" or

The bind is that to remain silent, to not engage in counter-influence
in a world where the Internet is "weponised", seems like giving tacit
assent to mischief makers.

The mistake is to think that lies can be countered with more lies.
The best that the "truth" can do, whether as science, education or

One thing these IDEs had was an integrated debugger.

It seems Unix/Linux really got a nice integrated debugger with ann IDE and gdb is powerful, it is very cumbersome. Hence, it seems there is a lot more printf debugging on Unix, and less use of debuggers than say on Windows where Visual C++ and Borland Turbo C++ both had very easy to use debugging integrated into the IDE.
Yeah, no - that proposal is no good. The correct solution is to have machine learning be more like human intelligence. You can't ask me to plagiarize a New York Times article. Not because of prompt rule violation but because I just can't. It's not how humans train (at least most).

Iraqi WMD was believed enough by the public to make it politically infeasible for most Congressmen to vote against authorizing war against Iraq. That the NYT later issued an apology is irrelevant. Iraqi WMD is a great example of manufacturing consent long enough to push through a major policy blunder.

In retrospect the effort was comical enough, in light of the fact that none were found, that the one responsible for it (President Bush) famously joked about looking for WMD under a desk. He received no real political backlash for his joke or for being vile enough to start an unnecessary war that killed hundreds of thousands.

The propaganda surrounding the global war on terror was effective enough that when the U.S. performed terrorist acts on weddings that killed innocents it was labeled “drone strikes” and when the enemy performed acts that killed innocents they were labeled “terrorist attacks”.

People initially believed the b.s. the Pentagon said about Tillman’s death. People largely believed that Chalabi would be the political savior of a new Iraq until our government no longer liked him. There are people who still think we shouldn’t trade with Cuba because they are communist but see no problem trading with China. Criticism of Israel is often times labeled anti-semitism. Do more than a small minority of people understand that Jews aren’t the only semites in the world?

I can’t point to too many specific instances of U.S. media engaged in outright propaganda but there are some clear trends where the collective attitudes on certain topics/beliefs are engineered to be a certain way. The fact that people even ever seriously uttered the phrase “war on christmas” is enough know that opinions are deliberately being manipulated by media.
I do wonder what the easiest, most straightforward path to a full TUI IDE would be today. Perhaps starting from the codebase of a lean graphical IDE like Lapce and adding a TUI-powered backend. (Note that text editors do exist with that kind of interface, the real gap is wrt. the IDE features including LSP and DAP interop.)
My litmus test for this is always whether the person loudly and persistently propagandizing for stuff, leads back to an insistence that the country they're working is going to collapse in race and/or civil war.

It can be framed as 'yes let's go fight this!' or it can be framed as a dismaying, looming threat rumbling ever closer. Doesn't matter. I identify that behavior as an attempt to produce race and/or civil war, even from nothing. And the more persistent the calls, the more well-funded but ill-sourced the outlet (ask yourself how the person's getting paid to do that full-time with such a busy workday), the more likely I'm going to think they are part of what I've come to think of as WWIII: the attempt to destroy rival nation-states purely with the old CIA techniques, which themselves probably date from the middle ages or Machiavelli or something.

Nothing is new. It's all humans continuing to bumble along as a cooperative but rabidly competitive species. These dichotomies produce this behavior and it's about whether stuff's got out of balance. I think Russia waging WWIII predominantly informationally, is out of balance and having some serious negative externalities beyond their wish for power.
> It's like if a video game company or a movie company only attempted to sue illegal downloaders who had a certain net worth.

I mean yeah, no one's gonna bother trying to squeeze money out of Joe Schmoe with 10 bucks in his bank account over some pirated movies. If a company with billions and billions of dollars like Netflix started pushing out pirated movies instead, then obviously they'd be sued into oblivion, as they should be.
Additionally, there's nothing wrong with what we have now. So there are some security flaws. But we have really fancy mobile phones and an amazing Internet.

Now rewind to 1990 or so. Add a Cyber resilience act. At best we maybe have a phone about as advanced as an old Nokia. But yeah, maybe hardly any cyber security flaws because the Internet would hardly function.

I've used three generations of vacuum robots, with the latter two being Valetudo-supported:

* Eufy RoboVac 11 (no lidar, the "stumble around triggering front bumper" locomotion)

* Dreame Z10 Pro (lidar, base station vacuum emptying, mop attachment)

* Dreame L10s Ultra (lidar/camera, base station vacuum emptying plus clean/waste water for integrated mopping)

I root a second a vacuum for my partner's place, but past that it's very hard to recommend a Valetudo setup to someone remote who doesn't have the technical skills to do the rooting and install procedure. So the Matic is potentially appealing to me, even if I never end up using one myself.

Looking at the Matic page: I think this is aimed at people with very cluttered houses, i.e. folks with young kids? The implicit pitch here seems to be, "it doesn't matter how cluttered your house is; this little robot can get in there to clean without tangling".

Except... that's never made explicit? It's just a lot of photos of very cluttered spaces. I'm left to connect the dots.

Customers aren't going to care about "Real-time 3D floor mapping" or "Cutting-edge vision software". They want "Won't trip over your (sometimes literal) shit".

Vacuum feature wise, it seems like table stakes and not much past that? I only just upgraded to the L10s Ultra, which has a larger base station that includes two water containers--one for clean water, and one for waste water. The robot returns to the base station to cycle water and clean the mop pads every X square meters (configurable). This does such a better job actually mopping, compared to the Z10 Pro's mop attachment. It lifts the mop pads when it crosses carpet, so it can even mop the other side of large area rugs that fill rooms. I suspect the Matic's mopping will be only marginally okay, especially with no mechanism to automatically clean the mop pad?

Rubber roller seems to be common on newer robots too.

Having a charger-only base station seems really limiting (versus emptying on-robot waste into a larger bag on the base station itself).

I picked up a second L10s Ultra for my partner's place for $630 during the black friday period, so price-wise it's going to be an uphill battle. Honestly, though, I don't think people willing to pay $1k for a cleaning device are all that price sensitive. I'm trading money for convenience, and I would absolutely trade more money for more convenience if I clearly understood the convenience on offer.

Lack of Home Assistant integration makes it a no-go for me personally, as a technical user, but I realize the average person isn't going to care (and probably you shouldn't either). If you did want to support Home Assistant, I think the shortest path would be MQTT support. You don't need to do a custom integration. It's fully discoverable and automatic if you adhere to their expected structure: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/vacuum.mqtt/

Anyway, no idea if any of that is useful, especially since "nerdy person who roots consumer hardware" isn't exactly your target market, but maybe something in that brain dump is useful info!

> I first offered this axiom in 1990 as an observation about the discussions that had expanded like algal blooms in the nascent ecologies of online newsgroups. But within a handful of years, the law had taken on a life of its own, leaping beyond the internet and reaching into our broader popular culture.

> I felt vindicated because I had designed Godwin’s Law to be viral — to self-propagate among internet users. I had a theory that an individual could have a positive effect on culture by making a catchy joke about people’s worst tendencies toward rhetorical excess. The next step was to release the joke into the wild, then hope others found it clever or funny enough to be worth repeating.

[…]

> And that’s why Godwin’s Law isn’t violated — or confirmed — by the Biden reelection campaign’s criticism of Trump’s increasingly unsubtle messaging. [1] We had the luxury of deriving humor from Hitler and Nazi comparisons when doing so was almost always hyperbole. It’s not a luxury we can afford anymore.

[…]

> First, has the sheer absurdity of so many hyperbolic Nazi comparisons in popular culture made us less vigilant about the possible reemergence of actual fascism in the world? I think it shouldn’t — comparisons to Hitler or to Nazis need to take place when people are beginning to act like Hitler or like Nazis.

[…]

> The steady increase in Hitler comparisons during the Trump era is not a sign that my law has been repealed. Quite the opposite. Godwin’s Law is more like a law of thermodynamics than an act of Congress — so, not really repealable. And Trump’s express, self-conscious commitment to a franker form of hate-driven rhetoric probably counts as a special instance of the law: The longer a constitutional republic endures — with strong legal and constitutional limits on governmental power — the probability of a Hitler-like political actor pushing to diminish or erase those limits approaches 100 percent.
I'd be interested in seeing how this would have gone with a switch statement instead.
It was, for C++, for a couple of years, 12-13 years ago. It's neither laggy nor slow for the last 8-9 years. I've written my Ph.D. thesis on it, on C++, which was a sizeable high performance code.

It never crashed, allowed me to work remotely if required, integrated with Valgrind, allowed me to do all my tests, target many configurations at once, without shutting it down even once.

Currently it has a great indexer (which is actually an indexer + LSP + static analyzer and more), LSP support if you wish, and tons of features.

It gets a stable release every three months, comes with its own optimized JRE if you don't want to install one on your system, etc.

Plus, it has configuration snapshots, reproducible configurability, configuration sync and one click config import for migrating/transforming other installs.

That thing is a sleeper.
