I am not opposed to the paid versions of JetBrains IDEs. I think it's a great offering. I am just saying that the free versions of JetBrains IDEs are not competitive with VSCode. JetBrains has intentionally withheld the plugins. JetBrains also has a bad habit of introducing free plugins, but then taking them away. The features I noted are major modern features that not all older developers have come to appreciate yet.
Concrete example of such backdoors: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-h...

The system is protecting you against Apple employees, but not against law enforcement.

No matter how much layer of technology you put, at the end of the day, the US companies have to respect the law of the US.

The requests can be routed to specific investigation / debugging / beta nodes.

Just to turn-on a flag on specific users.

It's not like ultimate privacy, but at least it will prevent Apple engineers from snooping into private chatlogs.

(like some pervert at Gmail was stalking a little girl https://www.gawkerarchives.com/5637234/gcreep-google-enginee... , or Zuckerberg himself reading chatlogs https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/03/mark-zuckerberg-alle... )
> They're a lot more likely to not get shot by the suspect if they know they're asleep.

Are they even? Or, can they know that? If the suspect has a gun, they'll wake up scared, confused, and with every reason to believe somebody's illegally breaking and entering.
I think JetBrains is struggling a bit to land their next gen editor Fleet.

It came out swinging with a very early open beta and seemed to market itself as the coming replacement for all their IDEs, because all their IDEs would become plugins of sorts under the Fleet architecture, but have a dramatically easier API to develop against for plugin authors, be snappier, load quickly be less memory intensive etc.

From the looks of it now they changed the wording and messaging around Fleet as a longer term project and they seem to have gone back to mainly doubling down on pushing their bespoke IDEs, which ain’t a bad thing
Zig is also used in an excellent way by burrito[0]. I've also used zig for compiling NIFs written in C/C++/Objective-C, since `zig cc` makes cross-compiling much nicer.

I wish zig got more use and attention in the Erlang ecosystem, but rustler seems more popular.

If you want a transportation app built for locals I highly recommend Transit. When you open the app it shows you the transit options closest to you, where they’re heading, and when the next one arrives. Never have to put in a destination.
Thanks and very informative! I had never used them but the saw it in the (worsening) UX.
The point for me is to build better and remove the need to know so much about vcs. Git is powerful but requires too much knowledge about git itself to get things done or to tackle possible conflicts in collaboration. Jujutsu tried to remove some of the concepts or make a better ui, to remove some complications. It's like providing an abstraction like python instead of C. Yet it's not perfect.
I also struggle to transition to jujutsu yet I admit some benefits. But honestly both are yet too complicated and error prone for something as basic as communicate changes and align versions with each other. I'm happy to see initiatives such as jj but it's still an alpha.
I don't think anybody is pretending that lawmakers are doing their jobs.

That's why people keep looking to the courts. Congress can't even pass the most fundamental law -- appropriations to keep the government open -- in a timely manner. Everybody is well aware that Congress is incapable of passing any law more pertinent than renaming a post office.

Unfortunately, that's the result of everybody's individual Congressperson doing exactly what they're sent to do. Which is: stop the opposing party's legislators from accomplishing anything.
This sounds like a fun project, but there are existing apps whose default page is "when is the next bus/train coming up on stops near me"

Transit App (https://transitapp.com/) is one of them and I freaking love their interface overall. This app's default view shows you the next bus (in either directions) at the 3-4 transit stops closest to your current location. And you can customize/add favs too. It's a beautiful app, also allows for multi/mixed-modal route planning (part walking, part bike, part bus).
These undergo additional fine tuning (QLoRA) using some or all of the original dataset, so they're able to get the weights to align to the nf4 dtype better, which increases the accuracy.

Ask HN: Is your company putting off plans until after the election?
I keep hearing that the upcoming American election is making companies uncertain about hiring, but I can never seem to get a straight answer about what they're afraid of.

So I'll ask here: what is your company worried about? What plan/project/etc. is your company suspending or reconsidering, pending the outcome of November 5th?
That would be fantastic, although even just the way you've done this here is great. I've got a few old Kindles that would be good to convert to displays, and if I could just install a server and a client, it would take a lot of the work out of it.
Loper says nothing like that! I know that there were a lot of hot takes after the decision, but read it yourself. All Loper says is that when the law is ambiguous about agency powers, the courts get final say, they don't defer to the agency interpretation.

And one of the unique things the CHERI-based architecture permits is a single, flat, shared address space:

> CHERIoT was designed to provide both spatial and temporal safety, both enforced efficiently in the hardware. As such, we can rely on a shared heap, even in situations where you need to provide mutual distrust.

This means you can pass pointers directly between processes. A pointer isn't just an address, it's a capability, similar to a file descriptor in that you cannot forge one.

This means there's no need for virtual address space mappings, which could in theory provide some significant performance gains, similar to unikernels but without sacrificing hardware-enforced memory protections. Though, capability pointers have their own costs--in memory, in the need to garbage collect old pointers--so it remains to be seen what the net cost would be in a system fully optimized for these abilities.

I don't see a way to share a particular view, but it is wild to see the magnitude of change in earthquake rates in oil and gas producing areas. For example, zoom into Oklahoma and click play, almost nothing happens from 1980 to 2010 then the map suddenly fills up.

VSCode has raised the bar of what to expect from a free IDE in terms of container integrations. JetBrains has fallen behind, and is sticking to a decade old standards.

I have no problem with the paid versions of JetBrains IDEs which I think are great, but to pay, one has to first find value in the free version (which is now lacking).
> interesting enough to have sold

Hasn't 2048 always been free? When comparing a paid game with a clone that's free (or even "free-to-play with obnoxious ads and lootbox mechanics" not that 2048 is that) the latter will usually become more popular, and that certainly happened here.

I am not sure how I feel about it. I certainly don't believe anyone should be able to legally own an idea like "sliding tile number games based on powers of 2 with or without being multiplied by 3" but I also don't have a lot of respect for those who, lacking an original idea, resort to cloning someone else's creative work (or in 2048's case, I guess, cloning another clone). So I guess I have no problem with them existing, but don't feel any desire to give them accolades or to play their game.

In part. They’re also claiming the Commission didn’t consider some material facts. (What they are is so far unstated.)
You can say it shouldn't matter, but it looks like on every social media platform and for most people, they do care about these things.
I have no idea what the motive behind the food pyramid was, but high-fat foods being 2.25x calorie dense per gram compared to carbs, can lead to a surplus more easily compared to carbs. Just eating less sugar will not help if you are consuming too much fat .

>But I don’t want an AI to „operate a computer“…

You don't and that's fine but certainly many people are interested in such a thing.

>maybe I’m missing the point of this but I just can’t imagine a usecase where this is a good solution.

If it could operate computers robustly and reliabily then why wouldn't you ? Not everything someone does on a computer is a task they wouldn't like to automate away but can't with current technology.

>For everything browser based, the burden of making an API is probably relatively small

It's definitely not less effort than stricking to a GUI

>and if the page is simple enough, you could maybe even get away with training the AI on the page HTML and generating a response to send.

Sure in special circumstances, it may be a good idea to use something else.

>And for everything that’s not browser-based, I would either want the AI embedded in the software (image editors, IDEs…) or not there are all.

AI embedded in software and AI operating the computer itself are entirely different things. The former is not necessarily a substitute for the latter.

Having access to SORA is not at all the same thing as AI that can expertly operate Blender. And right now at least, studios would actually much prefer the latter.

Even if they were equivalent (they're not), then you wouldn't be able to operate most applications without developers explicitly supporting and maintaining it first. That's infeasible.
Linus is acting based on his country's historical grievances, it only makes sense that other projects make decisions based on their own maintainers' grievances - if we approve of this as a good way of making decisions in open source. That's my point.

And even with Linux, it's not Linus' personal project anymore, hasn't been for decades - it's a global project with developers from many countries with their own views and biases. Being BDFL doesn't mean that your geopolitical agenda becomes the whole project's. Or at least, it wasn't so blatantly put on display previously that that was the case.

A high profile project like Linux doing this will have long term repercussions for how open source operates globally.
It is also typical of big industry groups to support tons of regulation, because only big industry can afford to comply, and it keeps competition out.

Definitely an argument worth making! It's hard to imagine that discovery of cheap iron production and the trade of tin aren't related (though, of course, it was in high demand all the way through until the modern age for other uses than weaponry).

iirc, no real proof was ever provided for that bloomberg article (despite it also never being retracted). many looked for the chips and from everything I heard there was never a concrete situation where this was discovered.

Doesn't make the possible threat less real (see recent news in Lebanon), but that story in particular seems to have not stood up to closer inquiry.
I do think the dosing schedule should receive more personalization per-person. The schedule for tirzepatide is 2.5mg a week for the first month, then 5mg, then 7.5, etc.

For me, a month in on 2.5, I was still struggling to force myself to eat enough. Zero need to move up. Some people don't feel anything at all until they're on 7.5mg, though.

There's also a lot of people seeing better success with smaller doses more frequently, too. Instead of moving up to 5mg, I'm doing 2mg every 3-4 days. Loss is still steady and I'm not seeing any indication I'll need to bump up any time soon.

A request for everyone writing docs with content like this:

This is great, especially with that link! Thank you! But please say when "currently" is, e.g. add an "(Oct 2024)". Stuff like this tends to be time-sensitive on accuracy but not consistently updated and is often years out of date with no easy way for visitors to tell.

And when it's recent, it also tells people that the project is active.

"Could" is the operative word, just as likely you'll end up exchanging one form of time/money/stress for another. If you want the satisfaction that your money went to the courts/lawyers/collection's agencies rather than the entity who wronged you, fine, but that's about the best you can hope for below a certain dollar amount.

Also you have to prove damages, back when we were suing the landlord I brought up throwing on lost wages for the time I had to take off work to deal with the illegal stuff we were suing over, and our lawyer said "yeah we can try but it's unlikely the judge will award that because you weren't forced to take that time off". There's all sorts of gotchas like that.

That experience really opened my eyes to how the system really does screw the average person. I'm upper middle class and extremely well educated, so is the rest of my family who were supporting us throughout. I can't imagine how someone making the median salary who reads at a 5th grade level would navigate it. That's probably what said scummy landlord was counting on and why he settled when it was clear we weren't easy targets.

The system serves the common man reluctantly at best. Justice is a luxury good.

Hybrids have become increasingly popular as the charging infrastructure is still lacklustre in many parts of the world. And that's not a problem that can be solved overnight.
Text is still a predominant medium of communication and information processing, and I don’t see that changing substantially. TFA was an article, not a video, and you wouldn’t want the HN comment section to be composed of videos or images. Similarly, video calls haven’t replaced texting.
Here's a practical in this vein but much simpler - if you're trying to answer a question with an LLM, and have it answer in json format within the same prompt, for many models the accuracy is worse than just having it answer in plaintext. The reason is that you're now having to place a bet that the distribution of json strings it's seen before meshes nicely with the distribution of answers to that question.

So one remedy is to have it just answer in plaintext, and then use a second, more specialized model that's specifically trained to turn plaintext into json. Whether this chain of models works better than just having one model all depends on the distribution match penalties accrued along the chain in between.

People say stuff like this all the time as if it's an uncontroversial fact, and it's much less supported by the literature than you're implying. So much of this is a matter of interpretation and the people interpreting it are generally people personally vested in the concept of IQ

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4557354/

I do agree that an IQ test can help measure severe intellectual impairment, or a change in an individual's ability because of illness or injury. I have a lot of doubts about it's meaningfulness beyond that.

This is my thought exactly. I really love the idea of open hardware, but I don’t see how it would protect against cover surveillance. What’s stopping a company/government/etc from adding surveillance to an open design? How would you determine that the hardware being used is identical to the open hardware design? You still ultimately have to trust that the organisations involved in manufacturing/assembling/installing/operating the hardware in question hasn’t done something nefarious. And that brings us back to square one.
Sorry folks. I wasn’t aware of that when I made this submission.
The nature of those platforms is they're devices to play video games specifically made for them.

Yes, they're computers, but so is your washing machine. But these aren't general purpose computing devices. To me, it makes no sense to enforce a free-for-all for those.
It's a waste, because you could have just resolve the middleman and have data <-> processing cycle. When you increase resources use, that means some other metrics should be increased with an higher factor (car vs carriage and horses, computers vs doing computation by hand), otherwise it's a waste

I can't speak to SQLAlchemy itself, but ActiveRecord (which I'm sure has both shared and unshared issues) still imposes a high maintenance burden with a small team of highly-skilled developers, both on the performance front and the validating-changes front. I, personally, find it very annoying to read, having to hop around an object hierarchy just to figure out what kind of query is generated and what kind of logic is "silently" added to the query somewhere in said object hierarchy (or, god forbid, mixins/monkey-patching).

You definitely make good points, and all my issues are over-comable with time and effort and knowing which tricks to use, so this truly is a matter of opinion and taste. I'm just pointing out that the idea that this produces more readable code seems far from obvious.

You'll need to explicitly navigate to the input box _designated_ for using a search engine.

If I'm accidentally pasting what I thought was a URL but actually is some other text in the paste buffer in the combined input box, that text is already sent to the search engine (provided suggestions are enabled, which they are by default).

If I do the same in the split URL/search box situation, and paste it in the URL box, it would at most look into the browser's history, keeping the input local.
