Those aliases are, I believe, only defined on Windows PowerShell (the closed-source version 5; not PowerShell 7). I wish those default aliases you mentioned weren’t a thing. Especially `curl` (people should use `iwr` instead), which is an alias of `Invoke-WebRequest`, because it makes the `curl.exe` shipped with Windows nearly undiscoverable.
Or maybe it’s not important to the community either? Sometimes, a bug is pretty obscure and only important to the person who filed it. People will get annoyed if they aren’t investigated, though.

It’s good to be a little skeptical when people claim to speak for the community just because they’re part of the community. Often it’s not so.
Yeah that issue seems weird to me, because I've never found bezels themselves to be that much of a problem. Like sure, less bezel is better. But I have some pretty wide gaps in my work monitors, and I've never found it to be a problem.

This article, and a lot of "productivity" articles, feel like spending a lot of time and effort for marginal-at-best improvements. I don't know their specific workflow, but I'm pretty sure they could get basically the same amount of productivity with a handful of 1080p monitors.

Why wouldn't we use it and how your link supports it?

It argues that capitalism creates wealth disparity and limits access to opportunity, that's why we have government, which one of the goal could be to create some safety net and social lift: provide every individual with access to basic food, shelter, healthcare and education so that individual can strive if works hard.
I get where you're coming from, but, given that I own several pens, and my handwriting really differs depending on which pen I'm using, I would say he has a point. Changing the pen you use (even within ballpoints) can significantly impact your handwriting.

In reality, it's a bit more complicated. I've found the following impacts my handwriting:

- Grip format on pen (i.e. shape of pen)

- Ink I'm using

- Paper I'm writing on

- Nib

- And yes, type of pen (ballpoint vs fountain pen)
Yet another confirmation that AI models are nothing but commodities.

There's no moat, none.

I'm really curious how can any company building models hope to have any meaningful return from their billion dollars investments, when few people leaving and getting enough azure credits can get create a competitor in few months.
Pdf-extract-API – OCR with marker-pdf and transform with Llama – single API call
I just published a side-project. This is a simple and easy to use API around marker-pdf state-of-the-art OCR and Ollama LLM. All set-up in a docker-compose so one might run it 100% on-prem and use for a variety of use cases - for example feeding data to RAG/LLMs.

Features:
- No Cloud/external dependencies all you need:
- PyTorch based OCR (Marker) + Ollama are shipped and configured via docker-compose no data is sent outside your dev/server environment,
- PDF to Markdown conversion with very high accuracy using different OCR strategies including marker, surya-ocr or tessereact
- PDF to JSON conversion using Ollama supported models (e.g. LLama 3.1)
- LLM Improving OCR results LLama is pretty good with fixing spelling and text issues in the OCR text
- Removing PII This tool can be used for removing Personally Identifiable Information out of PDF - see examples
- Distributed queue processing using Celery,
- Caching using Redis - the OCR results can be easily cached prior to LLM processing
- CLI tool for sending tasks and processing results

Most of their IP is itself derivative: fairy tales, mythology, classic novels, a Buston Keaton film, etc.

With OG Mickey now lost to the public domain, they're shifting to trademarks [1], merchandise, media access (i.e. hastening the demise of physical media [2] to regain the cinema-style control they always favored until VHS busted open their vault and briefly enabled media ownership/collectibility/free repeat viewing), sports, and theme parks. Note that they now bring in more from sports and experiences than entertainment. [3]

They'll look to commoditize copyright, so creators continue working for them for distribution instead of operating independently. If they can't automate the creators.

> The social rewards (e.g., credit, respect) that often motivate open source work are undermined.

You mean people making contributions to solve problems and scratch each others' itches got displaced by people seeking social status and/or a do-at-your-own-pace accreditation outside of formal structures, to show to prospective employees? And now that LLMs start letting people solve their own coding problems, sidestepping their whole social game, the credit seekers complain because large corps did something they couldn't possibly have done?

I mean sure, their contributions were a critical piece - in aggregate - individually, any single piece of OSS code contributes approximately 0 value to LLM training. But they're somehow entitled to the reward for a vastly greater value someone is providing, just because they retroactively feel they contributed.

Or, looking from a different angle: what the complainers are saying is, they're sad they can't extract rent now that their past work became valuable for reasons they had no part in, and if they could turn back time, they'd happily rent-seek the shit out of their code, to the point of destroying LLMs as a possibility, and denying the world the value LLMs provided?

I have little sympathy for that argument. We've been calling out "copyright laundering" way before GPT-3 was a thing - those who don't like to contribute without capturing all the value for themselves should've moved off GitHub years ago. It's not like GitHub has any hold over OSS other than plain inertia (and the egos in the community - social signalling games create a network effect).

Beware of backlight offsets. TV panels can have smaller backlights, because they're meant to be viewed from further away, and my LG 46 monitor didn't have backlight behind the lower 2-3 rows of pixels and a couple pixels on the left and right, when viewed at my desk. This may not impact some people, but I often go full screen text and missing some of the left and bottom pixels was annoying. I ended up able to configure i3-gaps so that it never displayed anything in those areas, solving the problem. It worked great as a huge monitor otherwise.

As an aside, "closing" and "concluding" a deal or sale also usually mean to successfully reach an agreement. It's more of a semantic quirk around deals than an isolated idiom.

> The TLDR is that the actual real evidence doesn't matter - what matters is if the prosecution and the police are able to convince a jury that you did the crime.

Don’t you think there’s some correlation there though? Typically, the jury is convinced by telling them what evidence the state has.

I use cursor and its tab completion; while what it can do is mind blowing, in practice I’m not noticing a productivity boost.

I find that ai can help significantly with doing plumbing, but it has no problems with connecting the pipes wrong. I need to double and triple check the updated code - or fix the resulting errors when I don’t do that. So: boilerplate and outer app layers, yes; architecture and core libraries, no.

Curious, is that a property of all ai assisted tools for now? Or would copilot, perhaps with its new models, offer a different experience?
I am slow to take on new tools and was coding in Notepad for far too long... but I am already on the Cursor boat. Right now, I use it for two things - code completion and pasting error messages into chat.

When people complain about LLMs hallucinating results, that doesn't really apply because it is either guessing wrong on the autocomplete (in which case I just keep typing) or it doesn't instantly point out the bug, in which case I look at the code or jump to Google.
You’re going to have to be more specific, because I am sure you are not arguing against the concept of medicine.

Can the locals draw a map of these lost cities? Or are they just aware that there are many lost cities, but without knowing exactly where they are?

And for that matter, if the locals did know the specifics but weren't spreading that knowledge, then it still can constitute a discovery.

"Discovery" can mean revealing knowledge that was previously known to insiders, eg. if I say "I discovered an underground smuggling ring and reported it to the police", you probably wouldn't argue that "you didn't discover anything; the smugglers already knew about it".
That's incorrect. It's a titrated drug similar to blood pressure meds. If you have effectiveness at a 1mg dose for example, you stay at that. The drugs have maximum doses.
Sample of only a half dozen people close enough to me to talk intimately about it - but for drinking it’s been absolutely proven in my mind for some people.

I have one friend in particular who started a GLP-1 drug solely to assist in drinking less - she certainly does not need to lose any weight. It worked like a light switch for her and turned moderately problematic drinking into easily achieved light social drinking. No impact on appetite since she is on a very low dose.

I have had the same experience, even though I took it for weight loss to start with.

I do know that drinking can be downright unpleasant for me if I push through the aversion after my first drink and try to go for a few more. I have noticed a strong correlation to drinking and my blood sugar crashing rapidly afterwards while on Tirzepatide while wearing a glucose monitor.

A single cold beer on hot day with friends is still quite pleasant. Sitting in a bar for hours on end drinking heavily is simply downright uninteresting now before you get into any unpleasant side effects.
Ordinarily, I kinda ignore the fact that rich people get away with stuff that poor people can't. It's not fair, but much of the time, the scope is sort of limited.

To be more blunt: it usually doesn't affect me directly. Or if it does, it does only in a diffuse kind of way. I don't love it, but I can't get myself too exercised about it. The effort to reward ratio of trying to fix it seems too high.

But election law forces me to notice. If he gets away with buying an election, there is a very direct and personal impact. And "getting away with it" includes being able to buy his way out with a fine -- even a fine that would utterly destroy me.

Which means that it crosses that bar -- it justifies a lot of effort to try to fix it. And a vast amount of effort is going to be required.

Disclaimer: this comment is based on feeling alone, I have no hard numbers to back this up. Reader discretion is advised!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. From an outsider's perspective, programming is all about knowing syntax, function names, eccentricities etc. In reality, it's all about understanding what exactly is the outcome you want, and describing exactly what needs to happen to get there. It's a descriptive science in its entirety, but this isn't how you see most people on social media (read: the Internet) approach the subject.

I think the problem lies in that, from the outsider's perspective, the things you can do with software are a lot more interesting than things you can do with math, so when you see people talking about math, it's because they love and interact with math, however when you see people talking about programming, it's because people love and interact with finished software.

Problem solving is a production topic, but software and programming is more often discussed through the lens of consumption. Software design gets clicks, mathematics less so.

My team does. We find them useful to ensure that key tasks get done, but we're also constantly refining/tweaking them when we run into situations in which something was missed or a part of the checklist falls flat.

As for the entire organisation ... I know that some teams or departments use them and others don't.
I am not a fan of this evolutionary step in design.
I suspect it will go a different direction.

Codebases are exploding in size. Feature development has slowed down.

What might have been a carefully designed 100kloc codebase in 2018 is now a 500kloc ball of mud in 2024.

Companies need many more developers to complete a decent sized feature than they needed in 2018.
>If it was that simple, why didn't the human body just evolve to excrete GLP-1 agonists? Or modify GLP-1 itself?

Honestly? I'm not much of a physiologist, but based on the effects regarding addictions like tobacco or narcotics that cannot be causally downstream just of diet, I'd wonder if GLP-1 agonists aren't actually impacting stress-interoception systems rather than just hunger and metabolism. Under that hypothesis, the evolutionary reason would be: because we evolved to undergo stress mostly in physically strenuous, energy-burning situations, while high loads of cognitive and emotional stress without physical effort are a novelty to post-industrial lifestyles.

I went through a phase of wanting the most possible screen estate to do sick multi tasking gimmicks like having chats, documentation, code editor, and prototype open at once. It was glorious, a 5k2k ultrawide monitor filled to the brim with a mishmash of sometimes related, sometimes unrelated windows.

Then it hit me that I can only focus on one thing at a time since I’m a human being, and having multiple attention grabbing things in front of me is never good. I now run a single Studio Display and have a code editor in full screen, switching to other content through virtual desktops. I’m WAY more productive this way.

Now I might just have a short attention span and that’s that, but using a TV as a monitor sounds like hell to me now.

How can this be possible if you literally admit its tab completion is mindblowing?

> In the aggregate, almost no programmer can think up code faster than they can type it in.

And thank god! Code is a liability. The price of code is coming down but selling code is almost entirely supplanted by selling features (SaaS) as a business model. The early cloud services have become legacy dependencies by now (great work if you can get it). Maintaining code is becoming a central business concern in all sectors governed by IT (i.e. all sectors, eating the world and all that).

On a per-feature basis, more code means higher maintenance costs, more bugs and greater demands on developer skills and experience. Validated production code that delivers proven customer value is not something you refactor on a whim (unless you plan to go out of business), and the fact that you did it in an evening thanks to ClippyGPT means nothing—-the costly part is always what comes after: demonstrating value or maintaing trust in a competitive market with a much shallower capital investment moat.
