I'm exploring how I could make an official Jetbrains theme package at the moment. It's a different codebase again, and it has their own marketplace flow for plugins, so I have to dive into this a bit more.
Erm, sure? Cast iron takes a little while longer to heat up because it's heavier, but it retains heat well once hot. It's even better on induction. I cook mostly in cast-iron and carbon steel and haven't ever had a gas stove. (Like a lot of kitchen wonks, I keep a cheap non-stick pan around for eggs and pancakes, and basically nothing else.)
It’s hard to talk to cast iron zealots. They’re usually people that never seriousky cooked before and went from cheap, thin steal pans to cast iron and assume all pans are like the thin pans they had before.

Cast iron is fine for certain applications but not many others. I’d fry and egg in one but you can’t make a great matter in one due to the thermal capacity properties they have.

Steel lined copper is the king. But yes they are cost prohibitive for some. Carbon steel is nice too.
The Galaxy must be new. In my experience Android phones get extremely laggy [1] as they get old and the 120 Hz refresh won't save you :)

I just noticed that I don't really try to follow the screen when I scroll down HN, for example. Yes it's blurry but I seem not to care.

It has no personal stuff on it, it's only used to test apps that I work on, and even that isn't my main job (nothing since early spring this year for example). It was very smooth when I bought it, now it takes 5+ seconds to start any application on it and they stutter.
friend then later girlfriend got sick,bad. Before
that she was jammin along through life,A listed and having lunch with our now PM,dustin? bustin?
anyway she was sick and I put it upon myself to do what I could,she was in a bad way,couch bound,out of breath when walking,bad.So I started researching everything she was eating and drinking
and bieng medicated with, and researched all of the indivual ingrediants and "additives", hundreds
of substences, and of all of those additives and substances,not one was written up anywhere,ever as
HEY WOW THIS STUFFF is so great,the best thing for
humanity.....no it was all dry ,often void of any
actual descriptive reason for bieng in food.
So we got rid of all that,and started eating food
and her change in health for the better was dramatic.
Along side the additive free diet,a plastic ban was implimented,*nonplastic touches humans internaly or externaly,as long as a.viable alternative exists(feed packaging which is removed)
The reversal of symptoms was dramatic.This was an A list'r with very extensive medical access,and she was planning her own palitive care when I interviened with my simple method,of removing things where there can be no (health/physiological) down side.It was a huge effort to research the bad and inexplicable additives and find viable implimentable alternatives,ongoing.
But there is no write up/study anywhere that lauds
the benifits of plastic touching humans food or bodys.Its all bad, or they would brag.Simple as that.
In what way would this hypothesis make sense?
Intellij IDEA does that too, and the installer is a very big file. I suspect an entire headless IDE is installed in the remote host.

Note: I assume volume means pool?

> There was an implication in your statement that volume level was the level of granularity, yeah?

There was an implication that the volume level was the level of granularity for adding parity.

But that was not the implication for "another backup of your most important files".

> I’m noting that during on volume wide dedup can have the con that you can’t choose (but it looks like you can!) to manually duplicate data.

You can't choose just by copying files around, but it's pretty easy to set copies=2 on specific directories. And I'd say that's generally a better option, because it keeps your copies up to date at all times. Just make sure snapshots are happening, and files in there will be very safe.

Manual duplication is the worst kind of duplication, so while it's good to warn people that it won't work with dedup on, actually losing the ability is not a big deal when you look at the variety of alternatives. It only tips the balance in situations where dedup is near-useless to start with.

I don't like the use of hallucinate. It implies that LLM have some kind of model of reality and some times get confused. They don't have any kind of model of anything, they cannot "hallucinate", they can only output wrong results.
Zed with SSH Remoting and Orbstack is pretty much my dream setup for programming on a Mac.

I can now spin up a Linux machine in Orbstack[0] in a few seconds and then SSH into it from Zed for a fast Linux development environment with a fast macOS native editor. It feels a bit like the macOS version of WSL and VSCode. Just a whole lot nicer (subjective of course)!

A couple of years ago I was inspired by what Mitchell Hashimoto was doing[1]. He was running a GUI VM via VMware on macOS so that he could have the best of both worlds - macOS apps and ecosystem and a Linux dev environment with his preferred package managers and a more reliable NixOS. That route still felt a bit heavy to me, but I related to the desire for the best of macOS and the best of Linux.

I tried with VMware and Docker Desktop with VSCode but it always felt like a lot of overhead and a bit clunky to achieve a smooth fast dev environment.

With Zed and Orbstack it finally feels like the fast elegant system I'll stick with. Thank you to the developers for these excellent tools!

As long as that is notified and correctly authenticated, it is a reasonable approach because the remote process can progress without having to send the whole workspace through SSH. I also expect most language servers would have to be on remote for the same reason.

I particularly like the part where it suggests changes to pasted code.

When I copy and paste code, very often it needs some small changes (like changing all xs to ys and at the same time widths to heights).

It's very good at this, and does the right thing the vast majority of the time.

It's also good with test code. Test code is supposed to be explicit, and not very abstracted (so someone only mildly familiar with a codebase that's looking at a failing test can at least figure the cause). This means it's full of boilerplate, and a smart code generator can help fill that in.
Great write-up, thanks a lot! If I may come with a suggestion, please round all the running times to significant digits. Reading 100s of numbers of the form 8.327305 becomes hard in the end, and I'd wager it's actually not more accurate than saying 8.3, or even 8. The only place where you seem to need 2 digits is when comparing the hashes, 0.07 vs 0.01.

Please always round to a meaningful number of significant digits.
When I got to the bit where they referred to the smaller training set of paid voice actors, that hit it for me. It certainly sounds like they are throwing the 'um' and 'ah's in to a script - not naturally.

I wonder how reliable geekbench tests are. Afaik it's the most common benchmark run on apple devices, so apple has a great interest in making sure their newest chips perform great on the test.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the geekbench developers are heavily supported by apple's own performance engineers and that testing might not be as objective or indicative of real world perf as one would hope.

I never owned a Dell screen, but I once had a Dell laptop and it was built like a tank. My brother had a 27" LG monitor from back when 27" was the biggest and best you could get, wasn't even 4k back then. It just died one day, probably the back light. I had a 24" CCFL monitor that actually never died, just got dimmer and dimmer every year, after about 5 years it was about half as bright as it was new.

Today I mostly use my 16" Macbook, which is quite close to being 4K. I really enjoy the HiDPI and the 120Hz refresh rate, makes it hard to use an external monitor since you can rarely get a HiDPI and high refresh montiro.
True, what I would really need is a uv based pyinstaller alternative
GitHub Spark: enable anyone to create software with AI and a managed runtime
Fwiw gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein himself (Einstein, Albert, Ueber Gravitationswellen, 1918) as a consequence of general relativity.

The core idea is that when you move a mass, its contribution to the spacetime geometry changes, but the effects of the change of the geometry doesn't apply instantaneously to all the universe but instead the change propagates at the speed of light.

So that explains why any sudden movement of a mass creates a "crest" that moves through space at the speed of light.

Furthermore, the sources of fast movement of extremely heavy mass just happen to involve an object that wiggles back and forth in a periodic way because those events involve heavy objects orbiting other heavy objects.

That's the reason we can measure a wave with multiple crests and we can talk about a wave length of the gravitational waves: the wave length of the gravitational waves matches the period of the orbit of the heavy mass.
Don't you get the "it's already tomorrow for half the world" problem in place of the "it's still yesterday for half the world"?

> So there is no reason to fear black plastic from reputable sources.

But how do you even judge that? My coffee machine is all black plastic. It has dozens of parts. The hot water runs by/over black plastic.

It's an expensive and reputable brand of coffee machine, but I have absolutely no illusions that some/most of the black plastic parts it contains are straight from different factories in China.

And I would be surprised if anybody QAs the chemical makeup of raw plastic input. As long as the parts mold correctly and hold up structurally, nobody would notice when the Chinese injection molder changes suppliers mid-batch.

Effective at what?

Want GC lang with lots of libraries? Use Java.

Want GC free lang with safety? Use Rust.

Otherwise just use C. Or C++.

For me C# lies in this awkward spot. Because of past decisions it will never have quite the ecosystem of Java. And because GC -free and GC libraries mix as well as water and oil, you get somewhat of a library ecosystem bifurcation. Granted GC-less libraries are almost non-existent.

AI-Powered Grocery Assistant: SmartShopping-Tracker
I've been working on a web app called SmartShopping-Tracker, and I'm excited to share it with you all. The goal of the app is to help users make smarter grocery shopping decisions using AI technology.

Here's what it does:

- Receipt Scanning: Simply upload a photo of your grocery receipt. The app will identify and save the products you've purchased.
- Spending Analysis: It analyzes your shopping data over time and provides visual representations of your spending habits.
- Smart Suggestions: Based on your purchase history, the app uses AI to suggest more economical and healthier shopping options.

You can connect as a guest to check all the fetures first for free!.
Please give me a feedback about:
Usability: Is the app user-friendly? Are there any parts that are confusing or could be improved?
Features: What do you think of the current features? Is there anything missing that you would find helpful?
Suggestions: Any ideas or recommendations to enhance the app?
Thank you very much for your time!

I'd really like a good remote editing solution that is genuinely portable. I don't think there's anything technical stopping that from happening (and I've tried some half baked solutions along those lines before).

For a variety of reasons relating to my line of work, this or vscode's solution are no gos since they require you to install a server on the remote, and that server is interpreted or compiled in a language that is absolutely not guaranteed to be present or stable on said remote (I'm saying my ideal extension, if a server is really necessary, would be in a reasonably widespread subset of C, perhaps ISO c99, which I'm sure I'll catch some flack for saying).

That is an underserved (although perhaps not large, but probably they would be enthusiastic) market given that remote editing is perhaps the most useful in situations where the remote environment is different to such an extent you can't easily copy a project over and expect it to just work. If I'm deploying to an x86_
64 Linux box, I can totally just develop locally and do a lot of testing locally deploy to the remote after all of that, and so I tend not to get too excited about remote editing features for a platform like a normal x86_64 Linux distro.

I'm obviously being picky and demanding and people are free to ignore everything I just wrote. As far as Zed is concerned, the editor looks good and this functionality looks good and I'm happy to see it moving along. Please forgive me for indulging my personal pet peeve. It is a good thing by itself to have competition to vscode and so please don't interpret my post as being overly negative to Zed given it's main competitor has the same issue.

Also, I'm aware that a fair response to everything I just wrote would be "just use vi/vim/emacs"...which is actually really fair and does a lot to demolish my argument, at least as far as a remote editor being a necessity is concerned rather than just a nice to have.
I hoped for at least 192GB of RAM for LLMs as 48GB DDR5 are pretty normal nowadays.
I'm working on a CRM with a flexible data model, and ChatGPT has written most of the code. I don't use the IDE integrations because I find them too "low level" - I work with GPT more in a sort of "pair programming" session: I give it high level, focused tasks with bits of low level detail if necessary; I paste code back and forth; and I let it develop new features or do refactorings.

This workflow is not perfect but I am definitely building out all the core features way faster than if I wrote the code myself, and the code is in quite a good state. Quite often I do some bits of cleanup, refactorings, making sure typings are complete myself, then update ChatGPT with what the code now looks like.

I think what people miss is there are dozens of different ways to apply AI to your day-to-day as a software engineer. It also helps with thinking things through, architecture, describing best practices.

This article is brief and uses big numbers to make a scary point but I'd be interested in if there is proof of causation of significant physiological effects at the exposure level from domestic cooking.

Often media will say "people exposed to Y have increased Z" but fail to mention that in studies those people worked in industrial settings with Y and the exposure level is hundreds or thousands of times higher than in a consumer setting.
I really like Cursor but the more I use it the more frustrated I get when it ends up in a tight loop of wanting to do something that I do not want to do. There doesn’t seem to be a good way to say “do not do this thing or things like it for the next 5 minutes”.

I thought this was going to be about clean cooking fuels. One of the significant projects of the WHO is transitioning the world towards cooking with clean fuels that reduce indoor air pollution.

It is wild how well the old marketing worked, leaving consumers to think Teflon was something close to indestructible. In my industry, a lot of the machines I work on use Teflon bearings, and customers are almost always flabbergasted when I show them the bearing wore down considerably after 8 years of continuous use.

> you can say that they shouldn't use non-stick cookware

Using metal spatulas with non-stick is a big no due to the scratching. Ideally, you should throw away any non-stick cookware that gets a scratch on it.

You should use silicone spatulas instead.
In your case, the lid of the kettle is effectively in contact with the water. It sits exposed to hot steam, the steam condenses at the lid, and drops fall back into the water you're boiling.

Since the article repeatedly made a point to talk about cooking spatulas and hot oil, our only hope is that those flame retardants don't dissolve well in water - but dissolve very well in oil.

But if they do dissolve in water, it's safe to assume you're boiling them out of your kettle lid every time that thing runs.

Yeah but phrasing/negotiating it this way obfuscates it a little. If you're in negotiations and you ask for $60k/yr more gross, then it's clear you're asking for more than a PA would cost (maybe, factor in total comp for them too and it's probably closer to $65k/$75k). Do people negotiate net?
