There’s a lesser known ironic variation where y’all is sort of the opposite of the “royal we”, aka the majestic plural.

To take someone down a peg if they seem full of themselves, you can use the majestic singular satirically. As in: I just got a fancy new car! Gosh, did y’all get seat warmers with it too?
Somehow, the trees keep getting exponentially bigger, and yet the pies we’re getting are actually kinda just getting smaller and worse. Maybe just picking the nearest apples isn’t working out as well as they say it is.
I keep meaning to find a new or existing project to try Cursor on. I'm currently using Copilot+Aider so I can stay in the Jetbrains ecosystem but the siren call of Cursor and co is strong.

I can completely understand why they forked VSCode (deeper integration) and I can see how that lets them move faster but giving up all the tools in IDEA is a non-starter currently. Obviously at some point the balance will shift but I'm hoping that Aider/Jetbrains AI/other can turn the tide back into IDEA's favor.
Insurance companies should be driving DOWN the cost for care. It's not possible for us to have the most expensive healthcare in the world and for them to still be profitable, unless there is corruption.
Thanks for that link.

What I find interesting is that there appears to be no way to view the live video on a set of goggles for the camera operator, or the director. At least, it's not mentioned in the link above.

Also, it seems like Apple must have contributed to Blackmagic's investment in this product, right? There are ~300k Vision Pros, so maybe Blackmagic will sell a couple hundred of these units? Without Apple's involvement, how could they have justified the investment in hardware and the new version of Resolve?
I’m guessing the same ones that use extremely expensive 3d rigs that are only used for theatrical 3d runs of movies? 30k isn’t all that much
Because people want to feel connected, and recognize that Amazon is an unethical entity.

If you read about Amazon mistreating workers to the point that they strike, you can feel good by saying, "I won't support that company!"

The general term is "solidarity", and it's a mix of empathy and action and encouragement for others to do the same.
The only folks I know who were doing actual meaningful gov’t work couldn’t tell their grandkids about it either. Still classified.

This seems like a great opportunity to share this amusing dialogue from Cosmopolis, a Don DeLillo book and its film adaptation by David Cronenberg:

"There's a poem I read in which a rat becomes the unit of currency."

"Yes. That would be interesting," Chin said.

"Yes. That would impact the world economy."

"The name alone. Better than the dong or the kwacha."

"The name says everything."

"Yes. The rat," Chin said.

"Yes. The rat closed lower today against the euro."

"Yes. There is growing concern that the Russian rat will be devalued."

"White rats. Think about that."

"Yes. Pregnant rats."

"Yes. Major sell-off of pregnant Russian rats."

"Britain converts to the rat," Chin said.

"Yes. Joins trend to universal currency."

"Yes. U.S. establishes rat standard."

"Yes. Every U.S. dollar redeemable for rat."

"Dead rats."

"Yes. Stockpiling of dead rats called global health menace.*

Australian gas plants were doing similar. Big batteries initially saved consumers millions by breaking that price fixing arrangement.

Though more recently the gas plants have been building batteries themselves and trying to repeat the trick.

> And if you want to do business (at all) you have to abide by the local laws. In an ideal democratic world, those laws would be set by the people and for the people.

which law is amazon breaking and if there isn't one (there isn't, otherwise there would be lawsuits we are all aware of) what's the law going to look like?

> Can you make an argument outlining how Amazon's anti-competitive rules help the society, and why their behavior should be tolerated in an ideal democratic society?

not sure what "democracy" has to do with anything? we don't really have a system in place where we go to a referendum and make decisions like this. whether or not amazon's anti-competitive rules help the society or not is on the society to decide. you have a choice whether to use amazon services and if you are so anti-amazon no one is forcing you to use their services. if amazon is doing something is illegal based on today's laws there is a machinery to bring lawsuits against (by the government itself or otherwise).
It's less true in retail (of non locally made goods), here the margins are in the supply contract (think the volume discounts on alibaba or Sam's club).

It's likely that a mega retailer like Walmart generates this margin in their supply chain, bulk land/space and pays out, in total more via wages and benefits (particular possible with the scale of healthcare costs and benefits programs like scholarships)
Could be true. But I have no use for more precise and deeper info. I need it only to fight possible anxiety spikes and attribute them to a bad sleep.
The conditions under which you can do business are governed by law. For example, you can't require that employees enter into a contract for eternal servitude, even though that too could be explained away as "if you want to do business with the company you need to follow their rules". So why exactly would a pricing scheme like this be uniquely difficult/undesirable to outlaw? It seems pretty straightforward to me.
Another factor is that, while I travel less than I used to, I do like the schedule deliveries around being at home. Although package theft is not really a factor where I live, I also don't want my mailbox getting overstuffed or a package potentially sitting out in the elements for a week. As a result, I don't lke to order things with an indeterminate delivery if I might have travel coming up. (Which used to be a LOT.)

Apple allows side loading. It’s an extra $8 a month and called a Developer Account. I have many side loaded apps on my iPhone. Stop repeating this.

You can refine your argument to say “but that requires a MacBook and Xcode and two or three clicks to install” but it’s still side loading even if there’s some friction. Always has been.

You might also like Kotlin script.

#! /usr/bin/env kotlin

println("Hello world")

You have to brew install kotlin for this to work of course. But it's a great way for using a lot of Java stuff as well. Kotlin's Java interoperability is excellent if you are using Java from Kotlin.

IMHO Kotlin is underused as an alternative to python currently for data science stuff. It's surprisingly capable out of the box even with just the standard library and there are a lot of nice data science libraries that make it more useful. Not for everyone; but fairly easy to get started with.

Kotlin scripting is unfortunately not necessarily very user friendly (e.g. imports can be a bit tedious and IDE support is a bit meh). But it can be a nice way to embed some kotlin stuff in a script. Generally, Jetbrains could give this topic a lot more love and attention and it wouldn't even take that much to level up the experience.

KTS works in jupyter as well (there is a kotlin engine for that). And that of course is nice if you want to use Java libraries in jupyter. And developing kotlin DSLs for stuff and then using them in a script is kind of a power move.

Both the V-Raptor & Komodo have an RF mount and thus can accept the Canon Dual Fisheye lens. The resolution is a lot lower, and neither sensor is well-matched to the lens’s image circle.

The whole point of the Canon Dual Fisheye lens is to record stereoscopic video on a “standard” single sensor camera.
Can you name some specific sites where this is an issue for you? I've had nothing but good experiences buying online, in the US at least.

Every single site I've bought from has the same boring and functional checkout experience, whether it's Stripe Checkout, Google Wallet, or Shopify. They're practically all the same, and they all work fine.
I agree with all of that. Perhaps what I meant to say was that these weren't the things users were complaining about.

That was a great talk! Notice how his entire career got launched from an internship at Tektronix. I love the bit about how he found his own troff macros in use at O'Reilly because a coworker had taken his code there years before -- and he appreciated that! One might say that the same kind of "80's hacker ethic" is what got him into trouble at Intel.

The Camel book was so well-written. It was my introduction to Perl, which became my "superpower" in the 90's and far longer into the 2000's than I tend to admit. I eventually switched to Python because it's the closest thing that is considered an acceptable "modern" choice. I really enjoy Python too, but the obligatory XKCD about Python[1] rang true for me about Perl first.

For me the #1 superpower strength of both languages is the first-class treatment and syntactic sugar for associative arrays (a.k.a. hashes, dictionaries).

Perl did the same for regexes and file I/O; Python did not.

I have come to appreciate Perl's backwards compatibility -- that old scripts still run unchanged -- though maybe that's largely because Perl 5 has been in maintenance mode for so long.

They never intend to challenge Chrome in the first place. Once they displaced IE, and Chrome gained ground they considered themselves mission accomplished. Although I cant search for the reference where Mozilla said this. It was in the early 10s.

Well, scala has union types, but it doesn't do checked exceptions per say (but it does have a very advanced type system so similar structure can be easily encoded). I think checked exceptions is pretty rare, so I don't know.. probably some research language (but they often go the extra mile towards effect types)

> But when it's about getting healthy, the limit to what you'd be willing to spend is what's on your bank account.

This sparked an interesting conversation between me and my half-sister. She said the following:

"Here's a lot of why people are angry - lets say I get a form of cancer that could be cured, but the cost is $200,000. But I'm 19 years old, come from a poor family who can't afford insurance, can't afford insurance myself, and haven't even had a chance to make $20,000 in my life, let alone $200,000.

Now I'm using a 19-year old as an example, but morally the dynamics don't change even if I'm 89 - it's not like I wanted to get cancer.

Talking about economic systems in this type of situation rings very hollow. And it makes people question why they should be a member of such a society or defend it. Capitalism is so great that it must constantly and relentlessly defended with online posts on all platforms."

I don't agree with my half-sister. People died of horrible, curable diseases in communist/socialist regimes as well, and they couldn't really even try to use wealth to improve their situation unless they were corrupt.

I really think the problem is that individuals are just not being capitalistic enough with healthcare. Healthcare companies are publicly traded and you can buy stock in them, and since people always need healthcare, it's a great way to build assets which you can then use to purchase healthcare later. It might even be a good idea to replace social security with government stock purchases in healthcare companies.
The RT-AC68U was released in 2013, but I realized that the AC1200 is the consumer tier below the AC68 and related series, so that explains the closer importance on better hardware, easier updating of firmware and development.
Many/most of the folks "defaulting to 'it's just autocomplete'" have recognized that issue from day one and see it as an inextricable character of the tool, which is exactly why it's clearly not something we'd invest agency in or imagine being intelligent.

Alignment researchers are hoping that they can overcome the problem and prove that it's not inextricable, commercial hypemen are (troublingly) promising that it's a non-issue already, and commercial moat builder are suggesting that it's the risk that only select, authorized teams can be trusted to manage, but that's exactly the whole house of cards.

Meanwhile, the folks on the "autocomplete" side are just engineering ways to use this really cool magic autocomplete tool in roles where that presumed inextricable flaw isn't a problem.

To them, there's no debate to have over "does it have real feelings?" and not really any debate at all. To them, these are just novel stochastic tools whose core capabilities and limitations seem pretty self-apparent and can just be accommodated by choosing suitable applications, just as with all their other tools.
Your consciousness is also capable of convincing you that the table in front of you is only a simulation, that it doesn’t really exist.

Now, smack your simulated head into that simulated table as hard as you can, and your simulated body will explain that suffering is inherent to the act of living and no matter what your consciousness tries to do to delude itself, this will always be true. The consciousness, at best, is along for the ride, pondering the meaning (if any) of that suffering.
Yes, you got the point!

Re: what the user is typing should be displayed in the bottom left of the window as they are typing.
It’s not really fancy autocomplete, rather it’s keyboard shortcuts.

Pain, fear, and anxiety are deeply ingrained in human consciousness because they served critical survival purposes for human ancestors. These emotions heightened awareness of danger, encouraged caution, and motivated actions to protect oneself and others.

Some brain structures have evolved with a smaller amygdala, where fear is processed. Are you asking if it is possible for evolution to take this further where fear is non existent, while consciousness and executive function can still evaluate and action against danger rationally or logically?

Fundamentally (imho), there are two pathways for exploration on this topic: brain structure and chemistry, and stoicism, meditation, and understanding the human condition (which may include a spiritual component, such as buddhism). “To be, or not to be, that is the question."
My point was that the nuance of whether it comes from a parent or Santa probably gets lost when kids are just talking about what they got for Christmas at school. It's nice in theory, but it's totally nominal in practice. This is more about parents trying to make themselves feel less guilty than making poor kids feel better. It also gives parents an excuse to get credit for the best gifts instead of Santa.
I do not know the rationale, but this is the flip side of collective bargaining: if someone makes a bad deal on my behalf I can no longer deal directly with my employer.

Just type wut and an LLM will explain whatever's in your terminal. You’ll be surprised how useful this is. I use it mainly to understand and debug stack traces, but there are a bunch of other use cases:

- Deciphering error codes

- Fixing incorrect commands

- Summarizing logs

You can connect wut to OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local model via Ollama.

I hope y’all find this as helpful as I do!
I feel like I already covered the answer to your question in the comment you’re replying to.

The canon fisheye lens does not have the same IPD as this lens.

Beyond that, you’d still be limited by the sensor. The highest RED sensor is 8k? This is 8k per eye. Thats double (actually slightly higher than double).

So, you could make something inferior, yes, but not the same capabilities.

You are missing my point. For transparency, you are talking to someone who writes Racket in emacs on my Linux desktop, has used Rust macros to clean up awful code in widely used open source packages, and regularly generates code for all manner of purposes in lots of different languages. I know the slam dunk feeling of generating exactly the code that will topple a problem -- and I also know it's not actually that big an edge!

It matters little that you can generate code in an hour that would take your colleague days. It is nice for you and it provides a short lift for your team, but in the limit what matters is maintainability. Peter Hintjens writes fondly of metaprogramming and code generation, but also warns that it makes it difficult for others to work with you, and it's easy to fall into the trap of building abstractions for their own sake. The "edge" in technical work comes from seeing both the forest and the trees, and missing that technical work is in service of humans, first and foremost.

I am glad you enjoy writing Perl, and I like encountering people passionate about it in my work. But I still think there are good reasons why it's in decline, and Perl users should reflect more on that rather than assuming people aren't using it because they are dumb / not technical enough / don't think about problems as creatively or deeply.
Here's an interesting one. Not affiliated with them, just came across the website earlier today and was impressed by the way they integrated their people with the menu, it both makes one curious to check the entire menu, and also respects the team, you kind of feel they are actually part of a team and it gives the feeling of dealing with real people throughout. Well executed!

Older and smaller Watches won't even have the keyboard and will just have the trackpad.)
I'd also say they should listen to power users: allow any/custom add-ons and re-enable dev tools in Firefox for Android (like kiwi browser). A mainstream android browser with these two features would easily outclass chrome on android for most power users.
