As a fellow iterm2 refuge, here's my config:

https://gist.github.com/spartanatreyu/fe6d045c3113f27acaa509...

I added back the familiar option/cmd + arrow key navigation and cmd + click hyperlink behaviour.

There's also some tweaking to make it more similar to iterm's default behaviours (e.g. don't hide the mouse when you start typing).

And finally some personal visual tweaks which you can throw out and replace with your own.
What, you expect existing power plants to instantly get upgraded or replaced when something better comes along?

Not to mention that there are many other dimensions to optimize other than cost.

I came here to say the same thing. It's something I have been actively working on lately. It's quite an effort to pay attention to the small things, something as simple as making sure I put the mouse into my backpack along with my laptop. But the pay off is enormous ... I get a really strong sense of relief when I do find things more often where they are supposed to be.

I thought for a few years at Apple keynote presentations, they were saying "machine learning" while Google was saying "AI" hundreds of times. I assumed because they thought "AI" had a privacy-invasion or anti-human connotation to it.

But, then this year they came out with "Apple Intelligence", which people will just see as "AI". So, I guess they finally gave up on that.

I wouldn't deny that some companies are using it to deliver real value, but I feel like the typical case I see is barely above the level of the Logitech AI mouse. (For anyone who's not familiar, the mouse itself doesn't use AI in any way - it just has a built-in keybind to a ChatGPT integration, and of course is sold at a $10 premium to the same model with no AI button.)
Few in the consumer mass market have ever even opened photoshop before.

The average person’s experience with “AI” is Siri telling them “I found this on the web” as a response to half of their questions. Or some streaming service suggesting a show they don’t want to watch. Or the Will Smith spaghetti meme.

People who understand LLMs are on average fairly excited about what is happening recently. But those who don’t know what LLM stands for are skeptical about why anything today is going to be better than the last 20 years of snake oil “AI”.
It's simple abuse and monetization of the law. These firms issue lawsuits to businesses of all sizes to establish the threat then turn around and offer 'consulting' services of course with high fees as the purport to be the only ones that can help the business to fix the problem such that they won't be sued again.

It won't change because to go after them or change the law would be political suicide.

Maybe they just didn't want the checker to flag itself.

I remember there was a similar check inside Google, where any file containing the words "DO NOT SUBMIT" will cause the presubmit check to fail. Naturally the presubmit checker needs to look for that string, but it couldn't trivially include the string as-is because that would prevent the presubmit checker from being submitted.

(Motivation for something like this is that if you inserted some extra logging statements or similar for debugging, you would add "DO NOT SUBMIT" in nearby comments, so that you will remember to remove them later).

I have been using typescript as my primary language for years and since I am used to it I actually enjoy it (much more than I enjoyed Java or Python in the past). And depending on what you built I agree, especially for one off scripts or if you plan on hosting just one or two things somewhere. On the other hand I recently saw a video by webdev Cody that got me thinking, where he was comparing a dead simple api server in go and in bun hosted on railway and their memory usage was different by an order of magnitude in favour of go plus you can compile your program down to a few megabytes instead of bundling a ~100megabyte runtime. So if you have a couple dozen of side projects where you host servers/apis that difference can end up in a noticeable operating cost differential. He made a few other points such as throughput, the more complete standard library and tooling such as go fmt and that writing the equivalent server in go wasn’t really all that different from the typescript code.
You’re right that rewriting is always an option but for all over the place folks like me the next 3 projects are half done before I even think about optimising my hosting bill. But as I said, strongly depends on what you build.

I guess there are no winners, just tradeoffs.

I wonder if one use case for llms in the future could be feeding a sizeable typescript/python codebase into it and then have it spit out an equivalent in idiomatic rust/zig/c. I am aware that transpilers and assembly script and static Hermes exist but what I mean is more of a result that produces a maintainable rewritten version making use of the idiomatic libraries and coding conventions of the target language.
> You buy Adobe from Adobe, "Get" Adobe from Apple, and log in with an email.

This is the sort of thing where Apple is playing politics, disallowing the same behavior for others while carving an exception for the ones with enough influence.

Ask yourself why Adobe can do this but not Patreon.

> Also, a minority of consumers by headcount choose Apple. A majority of wallet share is spent by those who do choose it. That's behind most of the sour grapes.

This argument makes no sense. People don't want to be paying 30% to Google Play either. Maybe this is why they complain about Apple more than Google, but the nature of the complaint is the same regardless of how the user base is distributed.
> I could have 20 holding pens in the house and they'd still lose their stuff, since the idea that you have to exert even a minor amount of effort <now> by putting stuff in its place to save yourself much more searching effort <later>, is either lost on them, or they just greatly value the present over the future.

That doesn't give enough credit to the original idea. I know it's an exaggeration, but 20 holding pens will totally defeat the purpose. The idea is to have one place in every room where you can put anything. This saves the mental effort of trying to recall what is the place for thing-at-point. There is a place, for all of them, don't think about it. Just dwim it into the holding pen.

I think that’s how a lot of workers took it, but it eventually morphed into a talking point by the wealthy too that left off the second part. I hate to say it but some of my family members were talking to quiet quitters with disgust. Zero mention of unfair pay. It echoed what I saw on CNBC and other media at the time.
Why would only motorists pay for roads if everybody benefits from existance of road transport?
Your question is off a bit. It isn’t exactly either of those.

Each combination of room, mic, keyboard, and letter is going to have a unique sound signature. But, you don’t need prep work.

If you can just record enough keystrokes, it’s possible to figure out what sounds go with what letters. This is the “substitution cipher” the other comment mentioned.

For example, the sound that comes every 2-10 letters or so but rarely twice is spacebar. The one that sometimes comes between two spaces is I. It’s obviously more advanced, but just to give you an idea.
Also the hoops they jump through to avoid “pull request” even though the term is native to Git.

Like did calling it a “merge request” trick everyone into believing they weren’t a GitHub clone in the early days?

As noted, it also paints the blind as the bad guys here when it's primarily the law firm.

Since the WSJ is a bastion of free enterprise and the rule of money, and the law firms bringing these suits are enterprises making money legally, I would not expect them to sound unhappy with the suits. The lawyers here seem like private equity in a way, seeing a way to profit off of someone else regardless of impact.

It's interesting that the cost total is the same in all tables. I can't tell if that's a copy&paste error, or the cost was capped, or are the totals for all the experiments?

> Aider fails to implement a significant fraction of the proposed ideas.

Yeah, that can be improved a lot with a better agent for code. While aider is fast and cheap, going with something like plandex or opendavin makes a massive difference... both in quality and cost. For example plandex will burn $1 on a simple script, but I can expect that script to work as requested. A mixed approach could be deepseek coder with an agent - a bit worse quality, but still cheaper to do more iterations.

That's broadcasting. The recipient of a stream can capture the film to create their own .MKV they can further stream or pass on.

Equating the running of a program with broadcasting is the kind of sophistry we might expect from Apple or Adobe or Oracle or their ilk.

Certain portions of a service program may be broadcast, like for instance certain string literals carrying text that appears at the remote end point. The bulk of the software is not transmitted. It transmits and receives messages, which are mostly not that program. The remote end cannot recover a copy of the program from these messages. Some bits of literal data, but none of the code. (There are obvious exceptions, like programs transmitted to web browsers for local execution.)

I live in France, and financially I'm fine not working, I have a few savings, welfare is enough for me.

What is truly problematic is the social isolation, the inactivity, and a feeling of not being included.

I could go working any job for 20h per week if it did not feel alienating and so competitive and busy.

The work mentality is survival of the fittest on steroids.

Work is a binary ingroup or outgroup. People who are out are seen as undeserving and seen as lesser people.

That's why people want to keep their job.
But what wars has China started though in order for us to be afraid of them?

If I look at the current score board in the last decades, US has invaded more counties than China (have they found those WMDs yet?), yet somehow we're (us non Americans in the west) are supposed to fear China, because reasons?

Honestly, my biggest enemy right now is my own EU government who has done the biggest damage to our country and because of them there's a shortage of doctors, teachers, etc, high inflation, stagnating wages, high taxes, unaffordable housing, etc. We have done that ourselves, not China. Whatever bad things China is doing in their own back yard is much less damaging to us than all those things I've just mentioned yet somehow we're expected to fear China.

Aren't these foreign boogie men convenient finger pointing to our corrupt and incompetent leadership: "Hey, don't look at us for your plummeting standard of living, look at Covid, Russia, China, immigrants with beards, The Loch Ness Monster, etc". Give me a break.

I have tried an large number of them. Many load too slow on mobile. Some have no sync at all. Creating my own was becoming a full time job.

Depends on who your customers are. In B2B anything that mentions “AI” still sells like hot cakes, especially enterprises where the person who buys (ie signs the contract) isn’t the person who uses the product.

We’re currently doing a bunch of “AI at the Edge” projects, even though it’s hardly justified (“edge” in this case is just an on-prem datacenter), but you need to use buzzwords like these to convince executives.
Sounds like a UI bug more than anything.

The compiler certainly knows how to determine if there is only one implementation of an interface and remove the interface indirection when so. There is nothing really stopping the cmd+click tooling from doing the same.
Eh; Perl just feels to me like a cancerously overgrown AWK. For simple tasks, AWK is tremendously more elegant. For anything too complex for AWK- which is a rather high ceiling- there are a whole host of scripting languages I'd select before Perl. AWK is available in some form on many more posix-ish environments than Perl and the most modern implementations are lightning-fast.
SourceHut has an issue tracker (incomplete, but very fast) and CI.

That's simply not true. I've stayed at PH, TI, and the Venetian over the last 3 years for conferences and personal travel, I pass on housekeeping the whole week, and there have been no security checks like you describe.
Right but a year ago, FAANG and deca-corns weren't even hiring at ALL. There was almost no headcount. Sure it's not a boom, but there is hiring, teams are getting backfills, it's not great but it's not near as horrible as it was.
You're speaking theoretically but we're already using it like this and it's not hellish or inefficient, or I wouldn't use it. Granted, it fits certain tasks better than others but when it does it's a massive relief and I can't imagine going back.
To produce scientific work, one needs certain raw materials:

1. Data

2. Access to past works

Once you have these, only then can discoveries can be made, and papers be written. How does this software get these? I am assuming they have to be provided up-front to the software for each job.
There are now so many bullshit-terms derived from Taleb's bullshit books. Like how people still keep mentioning "black swans" as if it actually means something other (or something more) than "unexpected event". And for some unfathomable reason it keeps traction. Similarly how Mandelbrot "redefined" (i.e. distorted) the meaning of "Lindy effect", and it stuck (however, I didn't notice if it became popular to call a millenia-old banality by than name after Mandelbrot, or Taleb again). It probably should serve as an another example of that if you are arrogant enough, people will follow you just because of that.

However, I guess "antifragility" isn't the worst of these.
I'm very curious, why can you not socialise without a job ?

For me it is quite the opposite, my entire social life is very separated from work, and I tend to compartmentalise and not hang out with colleagues after work.

As I understand, housekeeping is instructed to look around the room to see if a bunch of guns are lying around. This is a result of the incident that happened there in 2017, where there were two dozen guns in a hotel room, unnoticed, because housekeeping respected the do not disturb sign indefinitely.

Housekeeping is neither trained nor spending time to performing a deep search of anyone’s room. But they do know what a pile of guns look like, and they’re instructed to escalate the situation to their superiors if they discover it.
