There was a time when I was learning how to use Vim and I saw my boss use the mouse to do a simple copy and paste and there was kind of a disconnect between these two ways of using the computer.
From my experience a good mouse is better than a power tool like Vim, not for copy/paste, but just because it can reach the whole screen very fast and it works with all software although limited in text terminals.
Learning Vi(m) was still helpful because it's installed even on most docker images but that's not the "default" way of typing text. Most software accepts mouse double clicks or triple clicks and standard ways of using the keyboard (including use shift+ctrl+left and things like that), so that's how I like my IDE to work as well.
Multi-cursor is great and it's good that I don't miss it outside of the IDE because it wouldn't be useful outside of it anyway.

Other responses are pointing toward this position, but I want to make it explicit:
Memorizing an elegant algorithm is a lot more fun and more broadly useful than memorizing the look-up table for a limited section of the results; but sometimes caching parts of the look-up table in your memory is necessary for expertise.

For example: Many bright kids get frustrated when they have to repeat a section because of calculation errors, when they already get the concept. Even if you know a few good algorithms for multiplication, memorizing "the times tables" for double-digit numbers can be useful.

On the other hand, you don't have to memorize everything. If you can reliably re-derive some result from theorems you know well, and you never need that result in a hurry, it's fine to leave it un-memorized.
Opera is based on Chrome, and therefore does not belong in this comparison.

I tend to agree. The world is, on the rough, a dark place. While each person should individually strive to make it better, life will throw at you far worse than a thoughtless insult.

With that said, as a general rule, creators, commenters and bystanders should keep in mind the difference between the time and effort that goes into making something, and the ten seconds that it takes to say something dumb about it. They are not the same.

You’re absolutely right (I suspect some have read this as 3 year olds need phones).

A ban only works if

2) the ban is enforced

Oh, certainly not. I have been using LLM chatbots extensively this week. If your uncle were not just confident while stating falsities, but uncapable of self-assessment, he would have been murdered.
I think it would be more useful if you could create a sort of framework for creating a problem and finding a solution for that. May be something like breaking down the problem in small pieces , doing market and competitive analysis, is this idea worth trying. Usually the problem lies less with ideas and more with execution. If the platform can help in executing, it would be priceless.
i completely understand your point-of-view. tough to give a silver-bullet answer because things move so quickly.

i personally found this course to be a good place for deep learning (again not a survey course that covers classical ML for context) - https://uvadlc-notebooks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

however, the strategy that should give good results is going for the open-source coursework from one of the major universities. these courses may lag a semester or two from SOTA, but they often give a good overview. pick your poison and go from there. for example the above link was found the same way.
Ask HN: How does LLM serving infra work?
I've been wondering about this for a while. Although building a competitive production-grade LLM [like ChatGPT-4o] is very far from trivial and the devil is in the details, the basic ideas and architecture is fairly well understood.

For a while, I've been wondering how production serving of very large LLMs [like ChatGPT-4o] works. How many copies/instances of LLMs are running? How big are the GPU clusters? How many GPUs go into one instance? Is execution somehow interleaved, so different layers can execute different steps of different user's queries at the same time, to avoid K-1 layers of a K layer NN idling? How is the conversation state stored and re-applied each time a new query comes in? What kind of replication and fault-tolerance considerations are there?
It may depend on the application itself. If the data requirements are lightweight, you could consider using local storage or web storage, and combine that with say Github Pages. That way the hosting is on Github, but they can choose to fork and host themselves. They can run it locally if they'd like. As long as they have a modern browser with the features you're using it should be good. To go further, making it a PWA would still make use of browser features, but give it the appearance/look and feel of a 'native' application.
This reads as histrionics. You want an investigation into whether the general public felt the same panic people on the project do? No thanks, I'm alright with letting them get on with it and getting the full picture later.

> My issue template specifically says “do not request this feature” and they still delete it and request it.

If they can delete it, that’s the first problem you should fix. Don’t use the old style of GitHub templates where it just dumps a bunch of prewritten text. Use the modern style with the YAML template that makes a GUI form.

You can have mandatory checkboxes which say “I am not requesting [feature]”, with a link to some other document explaining why something won’t be implemented. Add another with “I understand my issue will be closed without review and I will be blocked if I don’t follow this guide”. Finally, disable free-form issues. Only allow people to go through the templates.

> You say “unprovoked”, I see people completely disregarding my wellbeing

I thought it was pretty clear I was talking about the maintainer from the issue, not you. I don’t know if you were unprovoked or not, I know this maintainer wasn’t.

> I don’t need to judge a person by his whole life

In general, sure. But when calling someone a soulmate… That implies a deep level of connection, not one event.

Anyway, could you clarify exactly in which way you see the people in this issue being assholes, particularly before the maintainer arrived and closed the issue without even beginning to understand the request?

> No man, you don’t understand.

I maintained large open-source projects you definitely heard of, and today continue to have to deal with these kinds of requests daily. If you think the initial requests in this issue are enough to call these people “assholes” and that they’re being disrespectful to the maintainer’s well being, I maintain you should take a break. One of the signs of burnout is seeing every little comment as a personal attack. I know, I’ve been there. Stop accepting requests and take a vacation from it. Or even stop entirely. Have empathy for yourself and regain empathy for others. I wish you the best.

No, I don't want to close FCC, FDA or FAA.

It's only about the media, because the such shortcut in the ability to tell companies what to do could be abused in a way harmful to free speech - and I think free speech is more important than enforcing quick scam app takedowns.

However, I thought about this, and what FCC could probably do is enforce content labeling for questionable apps (I think it's in spirit of how their safe harbor rule works) and immediately require marketplaces to mark application as potentially harmful ASAP. That would limit impact to the consumers, but won't let this be directly abused too much, e.g., against activist apps.

I don't understand. What would be the difference if they didn't downplay this? There'd be a massive shitstorm distracting resources at NASA and Boeing from doing their jobs and we wouldn't be any better off. How is that better for anybody?

> Do you think that movies can never capture reality as an artist would ;-)

We’re talking about single photos here, not entire movies. Sure, if you make a 5-hours documentary about a subject you can capture everything you want, but that’s not comparable to a single photo or drawing.

Good writers can also capture aspects of reality in a way that’s impossible for photographers because "reality" goes well beyond what you see: thoughts, sentiments, sounds, smells, memory, feelings, etc.

Hopefully it's clear that:

- code is not the only output produced by a developer. Communication, design, documentation, testing and tests, diagnosing and debugging, etc.

- I can and do write hundreds of lines of working code in a given day (and I'm not an IC). But "finished" was meant to describe something that doesn't get touched again unless new work requires it. A lot of code today is written more iteratively, with mvps, experiments, baselining, refactoring, etc. An mvp is not (yet) finished.

- 10 lines may be a low estimate today, but 100 is probably fair. (yeah varies a lot with language, boilerplate, etc)

I hope the general agreement would be that the amount of characters of code written is definitely not the largest part of a developer's output, but reaching the point where a given line of code is "finished" involves a number of processes and lot of typing. And editors are an important part of many of those processes.
Eric Berger—Ars Technica reporter who wrote the article SimpleFlying cited—initially reported that Starliner needs a software update that will take four weeks, and NASA (I believe Ken Bowersox) worded it in the penultimate media event as reverting back to the 2022 software, but we now understand from context that in this case that means reverting to the 2022 parameters; NASA was very specific about the software itself not having changed.

The SLS[1] stans (as Berger described on Twitter) are now focusing on how parameter change != software update thus Berger was wrong all along. It'd be one thing if said changes took a day or two to do. But assuming that it is the four weeks Berger reported, that absolutely means that it is the same thing as "software needs replacing"/"functionality was removed". To the client, NASA in this case, it doesn't matter whether the weeks to implement a new feature is (one week of uploading parameters and three weeks to validate said parameters), or (3.5 weeks of uploading new software and 0.5 weeks of validating said new software). The end result is needing four weeks.

My general point on GraphRAG is that it extracts and compresses the horizontal topic-clustering across many documents and makes that available for retrieval.

And that by creating the semantic network of entities, you can use patterns in the graph structure to answer questions that rely on information coming together from different documents. Think the detectives board connecting facts with strings from many different sources.
