hey, i've been looking for those numbers for years! where did you get them?

the particular memory lcd i have is 35mm × 58mm, which is 20cm², so at 7½ millijoules per square cm, updating the same area of epaper would require 150 millijoules to update if it were epaper. the lcd in fact requires 50 microwatts to maintain the display. so, if it updates more than once every 50 minutes, it will use less power than the epaper display, by your numbers. (my previous estimate was 20 minutes, based on much less precise numbers.) at one frame per second it would use about a thousand times less power than epaper

so in this context epaper is ultra high power rather than ultra low power. and the olpc pixel qi lcds, excellent as they are, are even more power-hungry

pixel qi and epaper both have the advantage over the memory lcd that they support grayscale (and pixel qi supports color when the backlight is on)
Exactly. By the way, use F12 instead of clicking :).

Even on emacs, using gopls, `Meta+.` (go to definition) works.

I use some VS Code (when I need to do web stuff besides Go), some emacs, and both use gopls so support is pretty much equivalent in terms of functionality.
It's even softer when you dig into the details.

Many people have tried that.

I built a language and UI around that way back, and many others have. I ditched mine because there were way too many unsolved problems I felt made it useless.

The problem is that if your primary means of working with the code is visual, the textual representation of your code then tends to be foreign to you when you're trying to use it to communicate aspects of the code, and when you constrain yourself to something that can be represented in a readable manner in a textual form, it turns out to be really hard to get to a point where the visual form is easier to work with.

E.g. something as basic as how you comment code in ways that roundtrips nicely is an unsolved problem.

If I have code represented as a graph, I'd be inclined to want to label relationships and dataflows that would be hard to place textually in a way that is meaningful in a textual version and that would roundtrip back to labels in the right place in the visual version.

I've not seen any attempts at visual code that gets even that right.

I've not managed to get it right myself either. If you force users to use an editor built into this tool, and edit a textual representation where some information is hidden, you can do better, but then if people e.g. copy a textual representation of the code into another application and back in, you end up with a mess.

Again, I want to be proven wrong about this. Badly. I love the idea. I've just seen enough failed attempts (and made enough failed attempts) to be disillusioned about it.

> Unfortunately, we still live in an era where humans have to adapt to technology rather than the other way around. From my perspective, this is particularly true for programming.

I think it's interesting that you say this, and point it towards Python.

Personally, with Python's significant whitespace, I feel more constrained writing code in a style that I prefer, with the computer requiring me to adapt to it, compared to other languages. I see code with braces and semi-colons more freeing because I get more control over the line structure.

At the end of the day, it's all stylistic personal preference. Python isn't the evolutionary ideal form for programming languages, it's just what some people prefer.

> out of the EU would kill Apple.

It wouldn’t. It would still be an immensely absurd thing to do. I assume Apple is not run by 12-year olds, why would they lose 15-20% (probably closer to 20%, EMEA seems to be ~27% and besides Britain the EU would be the overwhelming majority of what’s left) of their revenue out of spite when realistically they are only risking 1-2% by staying?

They are just trying to find the “optimal” way of complying with the regulations while maximizing their income.

IntelliJ now comes by default with a local-only AI auto-completer. I noticed that almost always, it "knows" the autocompletion better than the older intellisense.

However, sometimes (very often) you need to explore the API and just check every available method and check their docs to find which one is appropriate to use.

So, even though I can see AI replacing a lot of auto-completions, it just can't replace it completely.

It just doesn’t make any sense. Apple wouldn’t be able to sell to clients in the EU on a large scale. It just wouldn’t work due to perfectly obvious reasons.

Hi Antonio, thanks for Zed, love it.

If I may offer a small piece of feedback based on your comment here:

Apart from its speed, the single thing I loved about Zed and made it stand out from the likes of vscode, was the built-in language support.

This made for a great first time experience where I didn't have to search and download anything and everything was working out of the box.

In fact it was so good an experience, that when I had to download another thing for terraform support, it struck me as much more annoying than usually

Reading that your plan is to move in the exact opposite direction is disappointing and, I'm sorry to say, I hope it doesn't come to pass.
I don't understand your point at all.

A typical grid-storage battery will have enough storage to dispatch power at 100% of its rated capacity for 4 hours.

Of course if you draw out the energy at less than full capacity, it will take longer to fully discharge.

The largest battery currently in the US - Moss Landing - for example is rated 750 MW/3,000 MWh - which means it can sustain 750MW of output for 4 hours and it does this daily.

This is not "20 minutes".
It annoys me a lot as well, though it took me a couple of minutes to turn off the popups.

Once you've done that, it's similar to emacs for me, everything has to be evoked via a shortcut (or Action Palette which works very well in VS Code). The shortcut to show "help" or "docs" is Cmd+K Cmd+I, by the way - easy to type and remember...
I've been anxiously waiting for this product to be launched since it was announced a couple months (I think) ago.

My use-case is, I have some computers I use for a home lab. If I'm outside of the house and something happens to those computers that requires manual intervention, there is nothing I can do. With this, I can power the computer off and on (via a smart plug, not the KVM), then see and interact with the entirety of the boot process, including accessing BIOS, select OS on GRUB, etc. As long as the KVM has network connection, it serves as a remote interface to the phisical computer.
Why would Apple willingly choose to lose 20% of their revenue instead of 2%? That’s simply not rational i.e. absurd

The one issue i have is my Proxmox server runs OPNsense and all my hosted apps. It has an APC UPS. Some of the apps gracefully close down when UPS is low and power is lost. If UPS power fails completely, then PC is obviously off.
Is there a foolproof way that the server will restart when UPS receives power again?. I see a "restart on power loss" in BIOS but is this the proper way to do it?
I also built alife simulators that had emergent natural selection properties. I definitely observed there was some minimal but present tuning of the environment to get natural selection to emerge.

I also came to the conclusion you seem to have… that the environment and its complexity and attributes have as much to do with the creatures that emerge as the creatures’ inherent possibilities themselves.

In the decades since writing those (primitive Martin Gardener-inspired) simulations, I have observed from afar that there is a strain of academic evolutionary biology that has come to similar conclusions… that the environment and its attributes and complexity is a critical (coequal?) part of the evolutionary process.

Is that something people really expect of their IDEs these days?

In my mind, an IDE needs to be able to read all the files I can read myself, it needs to be able run arbitary tools like compilers and linkers then run the resulting compiled code, it needs a debugger that can attach to running processes and mess with them, it needs to be able to pull from the language's package repository when you ask it to, it needs to talk to your git server when needed, it needs access to your SSH keys to do that. About the only thing the IDE doesn't need is to run as root - and if you're working with Docker it basically needs that too.

The idea of an IDE with pluggable language support safely running plugins from untrusted sources? I can't imagine how such a thing could even be possible?
micro take on the open vs closed ai debate:

most of the progress and experimentation is done by complete ai laypersons on civitai, comfy ui and silly tavern.

Consider this: we have hit the top of the S curve when it comes to compute and data.

The only way forward is brute force manual experimentation.

And this is done completely without financial or academic incentives.

The big advancements will come by a thousand little steps and comfy ui workflows made by an anon NEET in the chase for the perfect AI waifu. Not by some ai research lab or startup.

we will see break throughs when it comes to gaussian splatting and inpainting in 3d. We will be able to create our own 3d fantasy worlds and wear vr glasses all the time. The metaverse meme is surprisingly becoming real.

But it wont happen with a grand splash or a big product announcement. It will happen quietly in some anon NEET's cave.

Regarding *Codeville* version control system: if I remember it correctly, it used novel merge algorithm, which was often better than the diff3 merge algorithm that RCS, CVS, Subversion, Git and other version control systems use.

However, if there was a problem with merge (a conflict), it was, from what I heard, much harder to resolve - because the algorithm was more complex. And with the introduction of the recursive merge the diff3 algorithm was deemed good enough in practice, easy to understand, and lacking sharp corner cases.
Part of the reason the C suite makes outrageous salaries is that they have much more responsibility than the rest of us. They didn't have the intention to harm people but it's nonetheless their fault if they didn't put in place proper and reasonable procedures to prevent the problems.

> Making syntax as “human-readable” as possible should always be the highest priority. We could unlock so much potential this way.

I think there is a balance to strike here.

I often like to work with code by cutting and pasting sections around and then hitting the format hotkey to align everything.

I enjoy the guarantee that as long as the syntax is correct, it doesn't matter how I type out the code because I'll just hit the formatter hotkey immediately afterwards and it will apply the correct indentation and lay it all out nicely

Obviously that's impossible in Python and it makes working with it really frustrating to me, it feels so delicate, I almost don't want to touch the code because I'm always accidentally changing the indentation, it's a real limit of this "human-readable" syntax in my opinion.

Had a similar experience. What killed it for me, is that no statistics can be gathered for JSONB columns. This in turn really messes with the query planner once you do something like `select a.* from a join b on a.id = b.a_id where b.my_jsonb_column ->> 'foo' = 'bar';`.

Given the lack of statistics, the query planner loves going for a nested loop rather than hash or merge join where those would appropriate, leading to abysmal performance.

There is an thread[0] on the PostgreSQL mailing list to add at least some statistics on JSONB column, but this has gone nowhere since 2022.

> I see a "restart on power loss" in BIOS but is this the proper way to do it?

Yes, it is.
Server class hardware will let you choose. Other varies. Some will let you choose to always start on power, some won't. "Restart on power loss" should cover your use case, since you don't shut down the computer gracefully on low power.
Thinking out loud here:
Obviously because that's how predatory investments work.

Step 1: Notice high potential market that could, but doesn't need to, disrupt established practices and hierarchies by federating stuff.
Step 2: Suck all the leaking behavioral and private data out of it.
Stup 3: Gain as much control over the supply chains & the market as possible, eliminating federation.

Also: AGI hasn't found its optimal hardware-software combo yet, so "porting" it all to networked mining rigs is worth trying and progressing. And neural nets and blockchains have quite a bit to give & take to & from each other.

> If that were true, Apple wouldn’t care to poke the bear

They are just searching for the optimal way of complying with the regulations while maximizing their income .

you do have a valid point about services being a larger % of their net income than I implied but that includes Apple Care, iCloud, the estimated $20(?) billion from Google that’s basically pure profit and is massively inflating the services segment’s margins? What proportion is left to the App Store? Who cares let’s just ignore that I guess..

Ok, that’s that, you’re either being obtuse or worse. Either way no point in continuing this silly discussion. But no, most of what you’re saying makes very little sense
The power of having a bank account, of moving funds around, of signing contracts, etc.

Before that, companies had to have everything attached to a human, not the company. So the human was responsible.

You are so used to it that you think it's normal, but it's not.

It's a concept we have created: that companies can act in their own name, like they are actually something concrete.

But when we did that, we failed to give companies expiration date, something like inheritance tax, the equivalent of prison and so forth.

Something that doesn't exist, a concept, enjoy many things a concrete human can do, but won't pay nearly the same consequences.

In fact, it's sometimes in the title: limited liability company. It's by design.

And of course, it allowed humans to do a lot of things without risking to lose all their life if they failed. But we went to far and now, we have companies that can enjoy all those benefits but with much less limitations than the humans counterpart.

It makes them too powerful.
Confirmed. I spent a very short time homeless about 30 years ago. I was in Vermont, USA though, so there were social services being invented and I was in the first round of a thing called Shelter Plus Care: they got you a cheap apartment, got you on disability or whatever you could get, and you did therapy. 30 years later I'm a working software dev making a humble living, very much a 'domestic'.

Everything in this article rings true. In particular, I inherently refuse to go to the hospital because I only make a humble living and can't handle a medical-scale financial shock, and I resist anything that feels like I could go back to 30 years ago. I'm seeing a doctor at a more crunchy-granola place though, because it vibes differently though she's still a credentialed doctor and it's no different from seeing one at a hospital: Medicaid's got me. But it's less scary to see a real doctor in the trappings of a hippie haven, so that's how I'm able to do it.

It wasn't a very long period of homelessness thirty years ago, but it did leave an indelible mark. The article is worth reading even if it too is scary. You guys can be scared of this and I'll be scared of seeing the doctor, and we'll all manage somehow :)
