Microsoft (unsurprisingly) has won the race to zero.

We have had them 'embrace' the wider developer and open-source ecosystem by buying GitHub.

Then they have 'extended' this with partnerships and deep developer integrations in VSCode and exclusive partnerships with OpenAI which in the background was used to build the best tools on the Microsoft platform with added enhancements and extensions.

Now in the new intelligence age, we finally have the definition of what 'Extinguish' looks like to competitors wanting to compete with the best tools available, For free.

I think you can grasp at the extant evidence of a lot of forager societies and see all sorts of social arrangements. Some of them may appear to be pre-MArxist communism if that's what you're looking for but the idea that it was ubiquitous is plainly false and there's scant evidence that it was necessarily common. For example the Coast Salish while foragers were also inveterate slavers who held personal property (slaves counting as such). We know that the Poverty Point culture built great mounds, engaged in a trade network running from present day Louisiana to the Great Lakes, didn't farm, and built ceremonial spaces.

We could go down this hole pretty far. There are numerous examples of foraging societies that held hunting grounds not in common, but among families by hereditary right. Many gifting cultures had a feature where people tried to accumulate personal property in order to be able to attract followers through their largess, some of the cultures did not practice agriculture.

> but even just through "traditional" western anthropology, we've long assumed that social stratification arose at the same time as sedentary agriculture.

More recent work of "traditional" anthropology, as you've so derisively called it, has called this into question. There are numerous examples of cultures that were not sedentary agriculturalists who had complex hierarchy, personal possessions, social distinctions, and complex cultural practices. If anything it is increasingly clear that cultural difference and complexity was the

David Graeber & David Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything gives a great treatment to the subject and shows hoe political heterogeneity of ancient peoples and foraging cultures was far greater than previously assumed.

> My main concern is, if an attacker has the ability to nmap against my private IP range

For a start I consider that chinese IoT shits and SmartTVs are attackers. So the attackers are already in my network. And if they're not, they've got very easy targets: these IoT (Internet-of-(Insecure-and-Shitty-)Things) devices.

Note that you can run several LANs too. I've got 192.168.x. and 10.x.x.x. One is way more secure than the other (no WiFi device on the more secure one, a very strict firewall in between the two LANs, etc.).

Heck, even my ISP by default hands a router that separates the home LAN and the "guests" LAN.

A nmap from 192.168.x.x shall not give any result for stuff on 10.x.x.x and vice-versa.

You can do it by configuring trunking / VLANs or physically. Mine is just physical: unmanaged switches, a few of them on one LAN, another one dedicated to the more secure LAN.

The box that does the routing between the two LANs only does two things: firewalling and routing traffic. Nothing else. No SSH port open. No ports open whatsoever. No nothing. Firewalling and routing and that's it.

Not really though. You should be able to work properly and securely if your main computer isn't compromised.

I just downloaded Cursor yesterday.

Do you also have tips for how to give Cursor some documentation, is there a way to make it RAG on a folder of markdown documentation files?

Agreed on the broader use of data. That said, it’s not just about phoneme collection—different channels and UX modalities reach different audiences and contexts. Each channel ultimately delivers unique inputs, fueling more specialized and robust models tailored to those specific use cases.

I'd (generally) agree. About 5 minutes of using Flux, Claude or Suno would have provided more net new value than I've yet to get out of blockchain, self driving, gig brokers, metaverse, 5G, AR/VR, quantum computing, hyperloop, and whatever people were trying to make web3 be combined over the years. Not that I don't think all of these things will always perpetually fail to deliver (hell, if I had a chance to try Waymo already then self driving probably wouldn't be on the list), just the hype cycles were unrelated to when that delivery occurred (if ever).

The hard part is, despite actually having some "real" value delivered, you still have to sort through the 99% of bullshit that comes along with it anyways.

Fresh out of college I recall vividly thinking, I’ll need to build an impressive list of side projects to overcome preconceptions about how much I can truly offer at my age. Maybe nothing has changed.
I agree with this. I've tried replacements. vscode(ium) was closest to giving me what I want, but in the end it really wasn't close. I always keep going back to Emacs, because I can do a lot of the little things that add up to a nice experience; and some of the not so little things. To me, Magit is a great example of what you can do with emacs. I love Helm and Deft too. But it's also those little things, some of which I've coded up for myself in a few lines of elisp.

BTW, those wanting an Emacs, but with Common Lisp rather than elisp can check out the lem-project on Github.
This includes a lot of good setup for networking Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Android mobile devices. It was a very fun project to put together! Also handy for anytime buying a kit with the raw components we used as we found the manufacturers instructions for those to be slim.

My guess is that the model got good enough to make its own bells and whistles — even the original 3.5 was good enough to make its own initial chat web UI.

I know it was that good, because I got it to do that for me… and then the UI kept getting better and the expensive models became the free default option and I stopped caring.
GP doesn’t actually need arguments for it. As change agents AI companies need to argue why they should be allowed to train on others’ code, and clearly in GP’s case they’ve failed to meet the burden of proof.

1. I believe AI is detrimental. It makes us go too fast. It's all about production now, pure efficiency over individuals.

2. AI is too dangerous. Whatever innovations used for benign applications will be eventually used for more dangerous applications such as advanced genetic engineering and the military.

3. AI uses too much energy. It's disrespectful to the resources that we have.

4. AI is an apex technology amongst technologies designed to further enrich the elite and strengthen the power structure.

5. AI will also be used to completely replace workers at a speed much faster than other automations and I don't agree with that. The new jobs that have been created are demeaning such as "AI Prompt Engineer".

6. AI is one step closer to technology creating autonomous technology, and that's a bad thing.

Society needs to slow down and find alternative, more sustainable solutions. AI is aligned with short-term economic efficiency and that is detrimental.
That is incorrect. People with exceptional abilities are covered under EB-1 green cards (and O-1 visas). H-1B was created to bring people in specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. A Java developer definitely meets the bar (with the right degree or experience).

Nope. OS/2 was a single user, protected mode OS.

> For example the Coast Salish while foragers were also inveterate slavers who held personal property (slaves counting as such).

Slavery in the new world isn't really comparable to chattel slavery. It's more like a permanent hostage situation than anything. To be clear I don't know much about the Sailish situation per se but that's true across many of the other peoples of North America. I'd be pretty shocked if Sailish were breeding and making commerce from human slaves when nobody else was. That said, this seems kind of unrelated to the topic at hand.

Besides, there's a lot more interested stuff to discuss in the forms of stratification you find in north america, and stratification doesn't necessarily imply non-egalitarianism. One-vote-per-person elections, for instance, as you see with the Haudenosaunee are a form of egalitarianism and stratification in the same breath—albeit one that intersects with the clan structures (which were, themselves, egalitarian). To be honest I'm unsure how gender intersects with stratification in anthropological literature (or I've forgotten), but that would be an interesting way to attack the concept of egalitarianism. I suspect/recall that was treated distinctly, though, as basically every human population alive today has some form of meaningful gendering. My point being: complex societies and complex stratification isn't itself enough to dispute the existence of primitive communism, even if I implied (incorrectly) it was before. The important aspect is communally-determined division of resources and labor under a natural economy, as you can still witness today (or in recent memory) on most (all?) continents.

In fact, this is discussed in the first few chapters of Dawn of Everything—see the bit about how the natural economy allows people to basically walk away from coercive social structures, especially in high-resource areas like wetlands and river deltas.

I can't speak to the people of Hawai'i specifically, but I'd assume that the stratification (potentially re-)arose when hitting the population cap of the natural economy.

Anyway, as I think you can read, I wasn't arguing for ubiquity, but rather the existence of it or a comparison to the social stratification we are forced to deal with today. Graeber's own Debt: the first 5000 years gives excellent arguments how the introduction of commerce exacerbated basically all the social structures we associated with sedentary society. Just because you can find some cultures (as I noted with the pre-colonial Hawai'i people) that have stratification doesn't mean you should chuck the entire idea in the trash. It's still an extremely useful concept and comparison to the society we live in today.

For those looking for a free coding assistant they can also use at work / in the enterprise, Cody has had a free tier for awhile: https://sourcegraph.com/cody

- Works with local models

- Context-aware chat with very nice ergonomics (we see consistently more chats per day than other coding assistants)

- Used by both indie devs and devs at very large enterprises like Palo Alto Networks

- Hooks nicely into code search, which is important for building a strong mental model inside large, messy codebases

- Open source core
It’s unreasonable to request six months’ worth of emails simply because they contain the term “anti-retaliation.” What’s the goal here? Are you hoping to find a smoking gun? And if you do find it, what’s next? To me, this feels like an abuse of resources and a counterproductive approach. When you lack influence, the more strategic move is to find someone with the necessary authority and align incentives to make progress.

Additionally, I wouldn’t categorize this as a roadblock, but more as an opportunity to remind the requester that there are real costs associated with their unnecessary demands.
Having the user guides be notebooks is a very interesting idea and the step from there to e2e test as the author describes seems like a very logical one.
The US is rich for many reasons that have little to do with being well governed.

* The country was launched on most of a century of essentially "free" land grabs-- limited pushback from native civilizations. buying cheap from distressed foreign powers (Louisiana), the main wars of conquest being insignificant squabbles with Mexico over trifles.

* Said land was also compelling-- you weren't fighting the environment to extract value the way you would be in Siberia.

* After 1865, no significant nation-scale conflict on the territory itself to blow down existing investments.

* This created an opportunity for bulk immigration-- first with Homestead Act style programmes and then because the American economy was compelling enough to be a pull by itself. A high immigrant population has a unique "opt-in" demographics-- a situation that self-selects for entrepeneurialism.

None of this required wildly competent government. George Washington could have chosen to be a king, a religious caliph, or a protosocialist planning enthusiast, and the deck would have still held almost all the same cards.
Interesting, I cancelled my plan a couple weeks ago so I suppose it's nice to know my vscode plugin won't stop working at the end of the month.

If anyone is looking for a free/local alternative Continue + Ollama is acceptable. If you're just doing run of the mill programming it will work well out of the box.

I'm glad it's open source so I was able to fix most of the issues I had with it and now my copy is in a great place. The documentation is in places many versions behind the actual code so it can be tough to figure out how to set things up when you're venturing off the beaten path. That all being said the granularity of control you have when using local models leads to an experience that's far better than Cursor/Copilot, I really enjoy that it reads my mind a lot of the time now (because I have prompt engineered it to know how I think).

Ultimately, isn't this just the way of things? https://thot-experiment.github.io/forever-problems/?set%20up...
This is a thin edge of the wedge issue, right? ChatGPT is pretty darn good for most things. I’ve used it extensively for the past 18 months and only in a few cases would I say it “completely lied to me”.

My general rubric is: “would I trust someone on Reddit to correctly guide me on this”. If the answer is “yes” then ChatGPT is likely going to do well. If the volume on a particular subject is low / susceptible to false information then it’ll lie.

Recently it lied hard about how to configure MikroTik routers. I lost many hours. But for a large construction project recently it completely balled out.

Are you doing cutting edge / complicated stuff? Have you examples of where it lies?
The decision regarding TikTok was not made after the election and the law was passed with strong bi-partisan support.

I've been using Vultr for the past 6-ish months and I've been happy with them. They have great prices for what you get. Sadly, I feel that review sites often skew negative because I think people are more motivated to find time to share a negative experience than a positive one.

"But then it's not trivial to write responsive/adaptive applications."

Personally I prefer the widgets over QML mostly because QML is just too poorly typed and checked + you normally need to do a bunch of integration work between the QML and the C++ code. I do see the appeal though.
Apologies, I wasn't trying to say "English can get bent for having nuance" I was speaking about them from a legal point of view, and (again) I emphasize that based on your examples the difference matters solely in sentencing not "how illegal" they are

To circle back to the "if law were programming" idea, I think of all the nuances you cited as belonging in any "then" clauses, not the "if" clauses of legalese

# determine punishment
if premeditated:
...
elif road_rage and crime_scene.contains({"gun"}):
# a kind of very, very slightly premeditation

else:
# and here one can get into [in]voluntary made dead

because (as I ham-fistedly tried to get at) there are very, very few cases in the law where one human can legally end the life of another human so it's silly to try and split hairs about "why" except for how much revenge(?) society wants to extract from them for the wrongdoing

They should just get rid of the green card limit altogether.

There is already a limit on people who can get H1Bs and move into the country. Once they are actually living here on a semi-permanent basis, converting to actually permanent should be based on the person themself, not based on how many other people decided to become permanent residents.
Yup but they actually can't check.
