IDEs can have just as powerful keyboard shortcuts. IdeaVIM within Jetbrains is probably the most feature complete vim emulation?

What sets IDEs apart from trying to convert an editor to an IDE with a bunch of plugins is:

- somebody somewhere is hopefully sitting down with a cohesive vision of tying these tools together, instead of an assemblage of plugins each with their own visions. I would very much prefer to use their vision (a la macos/windows/Ubuntu) vs trying to configure each plugin to my own (arch/Gentoo). It could be an age thing, but at this point I really don't have the enthusiasm to become an expert at 12 different config file syntaxes and read the docs for all the options for each plugin i would need to tweak.

- an IDE is all encompassing in certain ways that is amazing. For example, Jetbrains is not only a fantastic code editor/refactoring swiss knife, it also has excellent git integration, and can leverage the same code navigation capabilities within diffs and PRs. It will autostash in branch specific stashes, and I can visually browse and diff these. I can attach to databases and get full SQL query and view capabilities, so it isn't just about general purpose programming languages.

- it can be hard to explain to people who haven't used a language specific IDE, how much further along its refactoring capabilities are compared to any LSP. Note that this applies much more to Java/C# than to something like python, both because of static typing and decades of investment.

- as an example of integration, say you add a new function in a file. Not only does Jetbrains highlight the modified file in the Git commit panel, but the structure panel will actually color that function differently and so on.

- due to widespread use of Jetbrains in certain communities, people will build valuable plugins to relatively niche things. So Jetbrains has excellent CMake support and decent Bazel support.

- I like the keyboard, but I also like and acknowledge that the mouse is much better at certain things. For interactive reading, I like I can right click on a commit and say "rebase from here" instead of looking up, copying and posting the red into my git rebase -i command. Conflict resolution, line by line inclusion etc. is also easier with a mouse.

I am very competent at the command line, but beyond a certain project size, IDEs just make sense to me.
This emphasis on leasing must be a short term fixation. Once companies move onto more mature generations of vehicles, the upgrade cycle will lengthen pushing more people toward ownership.

Nothing is ever done "from scratch". To create a sandwich, you first have to create the universe.

Yes, there is the question how much ChatGPT data DeepSeek has ingested. Certainly not zero! But if DeepSeek has achieved iterative self-improvement, that'd be huge too!
Which is basically anything that is done on company hardware. Also there is a compliance factor, at least at my company.
And for anyone with a particularly intelligent but ball obsessed breed of dog you can ask them to get the ball so you can play and they’ll go from the front of the house around the back to pick it up off the top shelf in the shed where you placed it (but forgot yourself, but they remembered) and bring it to you.

I absolutely assure you: My border collie knows at all times where the ball is. There’s zero question of object permanance.

The compression to run orgs on minimum viable humans will continue until system failure. Boeing, Intel, etc. As long as nothing breaks, there is no incentive not to.
So far, a general tiktok ban (as opposed to a tiktok ban on things like government phones) has only been in effect in the USA. I highly doubt Europe would play ball at any attempt at banning imports of DeepSeek.

Besides, it's kinda too late for this. The model is freely accessible, so any attempt at banning it would be _completely_ moot. If DeepSeek keeps releasing their future models for free, I don't see how a ban could ever be effective at all. Worse case scenario, big tech can't use those models... but then individuals (and startups willing to go fast and break laws) will be able to use them and instantly get a leg up on the competition.
Wish it wasn't so rare to get good modding tools. From your examples, Valves commitment to their SDKs (for CS) and Warcraft's WorldEdit (DotA) are both nice ecosystems to work in.

Thanks for the reply. I have an old iMac running Mint, so I guess I'll start there with the openSeaChest utility.
Well, originally, OpenAI wasn't supposed to be that kind of organization.

But if you leave someone in the tech industry of SV/SF long enough, they'll start to get high on their own supply and think they're entitled to insane amounts of value, so...
This is another reason why I think they will remain low key.

They'll perpetually be in "beta" until they're so ubiquitous that the idea of getting rid of them is unthinkable.
I can't say what Orban is planning specifically, but his recent actions have not been well received by the EU Council, to say the least. Moreover Hungary has been China's main outpost in Europe since 2015 when it joined Belt and Road.

Considering fresh signs of rupture in transatlantic relations, maybe Orban will turn out to have had keen foresight. There seems to be some sort of realignment afoot under the Trump administration.

I have a modern diesel truck and a 1988 Land Cruiser. I’ve been a mechanic since I was 14 (farm tractors) and was a helicopter mechanic and crew chief in the marines, then a transmission mechanic on cars during college. I’ve got a mechanical engineering degree.

The Land Cruiser requires a lot more of my time working on it, but it’s a dream. I can fix something in a couple hours. The diesel, it’s a nightmare. Everything sucks working in it. Access is horrible, I end up having to jack into the CAN bus all the time, I spent a while with an oscilloscope plugged into it a month ago, and I’ve had to write my own software to interact with it.

Modern cars are more computer than car, and they are pushing more and more towards being fixed like them. I’d rather work on an electric car… what wears out? The cooling system? A bearing? Simple.

John W. Pilley conducted investigations involving his border collie named Chaser. Chaser had ~200 or so toys, each with a unique name; if Pilley asked her to fetch a toy by name, she would reliably find the corresponding toy out of a pile of all of them and bring it back. Pilley found that when Chaser was asked to fetch a toy whose name Chaser hadn't heard, Chaser would find the new toy she hadn't seen before in the pile and bring it back. He controlled for cues like face and body language by sitting still with his back to Chaser while giving the commands, so that he could neither see the toy being fetched nor unconsciously signal to Chaser.

I agree that there are some important distinctions and word-choices to be made here, and that there are problems with equating training to "stealing", and that copyright infringement is not theft, etc.

That said, if you zoom out to the overall conduct, it's fair to argue that the companies are doing something unethical, the same as if they paid an army of humans to memorize other people's work and then regurgitate slightly-reworded copies.
are you advocating or critiquing? i can't tell.

OP is advocating for developing efficient systems that are also easy to maintain. It is a valid concern.
I'm semi homeless and Google's forced update on the Pixel 4a ruined it
Hi, I posted this as a comment here and just like on Reddit, it's not showing, but I'll try again.

I'm semi homeless and the forced Pixel 4a battery update made my phone unusable and I'm in a state of tears. What can I do? Reddit deleted my post (I am hoping it's not because of Google employees).

I don't want to get too long into what happened in my life, but I had a Pixel 4a and everything was running great. Even when I was on the streets homeless I was able to charge it. I'm still struggling in and out, and apparently there was an update that came automatically to my phone. I checked and talked to live support in the library and they said it was just a battery update and it will last a bit less. That wasn't a big deal I thought but now the update came and my battery went from many hours to maybe half an hour now and doesn't charge at all or very slowly. I have interviews and some other small jobs that I have to do and just hard life right now and I do not have any money for this. I am a bit emotional so I asked while tearing up to Google support why they did this and I can't afford this my life is in shambles but they didn't help me. Even with the battery replacement I do not live near any local shops and mailing it in would not be possible for my situation. I bought this phone when my life was good and I only like this one and want to use this one.

All my stuff is on here and I don't know too much about phones so I just want this to work. I don't have money to fix this. I feel like the phone will die any second. What can be done? I didn't know they would do this. My life just keeps getting worse... I always feared my phone getting stolen on the streets but never thought Google would steal my phone.

What can I do? I don't have much minutes or data and can't afford it, is there a number I can call Google directly? I don't want to play with the phone and do anything weird my life is on it and can't back it up.

Thank you all.

Laws have never encumbered humans. We're governed by social norms and those have been destroyed: massive immigration, sexual mutilation of children, and wanton spending of US taxpayer dollars.
I am not that old, but I did a deep dive on this in the past because it was just so extremely fascinating, especially reading the archives of Cypherpunk. There is a very solid, if rather bendy, line connecting all that to "crypto culture" today.
I suppose they're under some pressure to release o3-mini, since r1 is roughly a peer for that, but r1 itself is still quite rough. The o1 series had seen significantly more QA time to smooth out the rough edges, and idiosyncracies what a "production" model should be optimized for, vs. just a top scorer on benchmarks.

We'll likely only see o3 once there is a true polished peer for it. It's a race, and companies are keeping their best models close to their chest, as they're used internally to train smaller models.

e.g., Claude 3.5 Opus has been around for quite a while, but it's unreleased. Instead, it was just used to refine Claude Sonnet 3.5 into Claude Sonnet 3.6 (3.6 is for lack of a better name, since it's still called 3.5).

We also might see a new GPT-4o refresh trained up using GPT-o3 via deepseek's distillation technique and other tricks.

There are a lot of new directions to go in now for OpenAI, but unfortunately, we won't likely see them until their API dominance comes under threat.

AX: Why Agent Experience Matters
There is a huge difference between “we have the know how to create AWS” and “we used spare capacity to sell to customers” or “we took code we used from Amazon Retail and created AWS”.

Most people think the former and even now people seem to think that there is any similarity between how Amazon Retail (CDO) and how AWS runs. Again with the caveat that some of Amazon Retail’s workloads have been migrated to AWS or were born on AWS.

Do you mean for a given model structure, can two sets of weights give substantially the same outputs?

Even if that were possible, it would be suspicious if you were to release an open model whose model architecture is identical to that of a closed one from a competitor.

If that is what happened, we'd know about it by now.
What would it even mean in practice for them to think about concrete "walking" instead of the abstract concept? Verbs are inherently abstract.

When I was with my dog in my parents' house and said "spacer" (walk in Polish) - he was happy and jumped around in anticipation, bringing the leash. He did the same in my grandparents house even though we weren't going to the same place - he just wanted to go on a walk doesn't matter the area. What's your explanation that does not involve abstracting the action from the concrete area and time?

Another example - my sister trained our other dog to bring her plush toys on command. She hidden them in house and said "szukaj" (search) and then rewarded the dog with a clicker and/or a treat when the dog brought her the toy. It takes several steps (first you hide the toy very close and then you hide it outside of view). Also you reward the dog with the clicker on intermediate successes like getting the toy without bringing it to the owner.

Anyway - one time my sister lost one glove when we were on a walk with that dog. She noticed only when we were returning from the fields. She gave the dog the other glove to sniff and said "szukaj". Ciri (our dog) went back a few hundred meters searching for the glove and found it and brought it back.

There are smarter and dumber dogs (Ciri was probably the smartest dogs we ever had) - but the ability to generalize and reason is obviously there. Like - I can't imagine an unbiased scientist having a dog for extended period of time and not seeing it.

Dogs also have theory of mind (I've seen Ciri bury a bone in one place, wait for our other dog - Jaskier - to go home, and rebury it elsewhere).

Dogs also know which things are forbidden, and know that the things that are forbidden - aren't forbidden when nobody's there to see them do it :)

We also had a pretty aggressive dog before that - Kuba - which used to pursue neighbors cat when it came to our backyard. The backyard was fenced, and when the cat could see our dog - he wouldn't come. So our dog pretended to be asleep or hidden and waited for the cat to come, then he pursued it up a tree and waited under the tree till we came to free the cat.

This requires reasoning. It shouldn't be surprising - these are social animals that hunt in packs, cooperate, play pack politics, and need to reason about others in their pack and about the prey. How would they survive as a species if they had to invent pack tactics from scratch every time they hunted? Obviously they can generalize.

I find most of these arguments against animals thinking either incredibly naive or biased. Like some people actually argue dogs are "meat automatons" with no capacity to think whatsoever. It's like fishers saying fish can't feel pain :/
'the deficit' isn't really driving inflation, as evidenced by japan's huge deficit and relatively low inflation. If you want to talk about what's going to cause inflation in the future? It will almost certainly be some combination of tariffs and a lack of workers due to deportation. I'm not supporting industries that thrive off exploiting the undocumented, I'm merely stating the fact that deporting them will raise inflation.
Who coined the term "confusocracy"? It seems it's an appropriate use of it.

A rapid succession of executive actions can render opposition useless and tie resources asymmetrically.

OpenAI initially scraped the web and later formed partnerships to train on licensed data. Now, they claim that DeepSeek was trained on their models. However, DeepSeek couldn't use these models for free and had to pay API fees to OpenAI. From a legal standpoint, this could be seen as a violation of the terms and conditions. While I may be mistaken, it's unclear how DeepSeek could have trained their models without compensating OpenAI. Basically, OpenAI is saying machines can't learn from their outputs as humans do.

Waymos are terrible at taking unprotected left turns into bumper to bumper traffic during peak hour.

They aren't aggressive like a normal driver when traffic is stopped and there's a clear but small gap that would result in the car being at an angle crossing traffic.

The lidar can't see any gap between cars when trying to turn into a more distant lane, so any obstruction to a close lane due to traffic kills them.

Source: been stuck in and observed Waymo in this situation for 10+ minutes several times.

A human driver is willing to make the turn much sooner.

Don't take a Waymo if you're in a hurry and the route will have such a left turns.
Womp Womp.
Async Rust (by default) can allocate memory, which is (almost always) nondeterministic. I'm not sure how hard it is to guarantee that nothing is using it so that all allocations happen deterministically.

Async Rust schedules (mostly) cooperatively, which means one errant task, or too many tasks, can block higher-priority, time-critical work from occurring. Embassy has an interrupt executor, which helps somewhat, but it essentially ties each task to a dedicated interrupt, and AFAICT requires that all high-priority work must happen in interrupt context. Usually you want to stay in an ISR for the absolute shortest possible time, and not be forced to choose between either running in an ISR or missing a deadline.

I'm not saying it's impossible to build a hard realtime system in async Rust if you're really careful, just that it doesn't provide the usual set of primitives that allow you to easily reason about worst-case execution time, which is a primary concern for such systems.

For me—as someone who has written embedded code professionally, but I'm just some guy, so take this with a grain of salt—the line between RTOS and runtime is whether it has a preemptive scheduler and affordances (usually prioritized tasks with support for handling priority inversion) that allow you to easily prioritize different tasks and ensure bounded worst-case runtime. It almost always also comes with synchronization primitives, like mutexes, mailboxes, queues, etc. All facilities provided by the RTOS need to either guarantee (and document) that they run in bounded time, or be easy to identify and avoid if you need bounded worst-case time.
Gotcha. That might help somewhat but it wouldn’t solve the “never update Android or any other app” problem. I’d also have to get them used to using a new browser. It’s a larger problem that their trust in tech was easily (possibly irreversibly) broken after years of me slowly convincing them and getting them used to letting their devices update. They are even older now and having had a stint working in the senior care tech space, I know that trying to tech the older generation to use tech safely is a very high hurdle. Now that I don’t live near them, I’m not sure that’s a hurdle that can be easily overcome.
> This emphasis on leasing must be a short term fixation

It is an inevitable consequence of modern rabid capitalism. The 99.99% shall own nothing in our name, while the 0.001% enjoy their life on the rent every single one of us has to pay for the privilege of existing.

More and more of basic life necessities are gated away behind subscriptions (and yes, I am counting a basic computer with an office program suite as such), or they are rapidly depreciating assets, and what remains gets bought out by the rich in fire sales during economic crises (remember the "for sale / foreclosure" signs 2008ff?) - and the frequency of the latter has only increased.

Of course this all has an end game because eventually people will have no money left to even lease these things, but by then those who are in power and enjoying their life will be long gone.
I made a similar comment. I think they come up because people are genuinely interested in a project and trying to offer the creator a fresh perspective. When creating a project where your the domain expert it's so easy to get stuck in your own head, and then you start explaining the project to a newcomer diving into deep details when they don't understand the starting point.

Until a project has a lot of traction (think docker, react, django not uv or jq) it's very safe to assume that every visitor to your page doesn't understand the background.
I believe that you've selected a single study based on your existing biases and are basing your entire opinion off of it, rather than having done an honest amount of research into the nuances of the issue
Their wait times tend to be worse, but that's getting better too. The trip speed has also noticeably improved. I've taken about 50 over the past 2 years.

Even if they're sometimes slower in pickup or trip time, on average, I greatly value the consistency of the experience over everything else.
Yeah. Dogs. It’s incredible how they can be both incredibly stupid and incredibly smart altogether.

centralized services can execute on "give every user a wallet", but federated services and protocols can also add an attribute to piggyback on the addressbook that is inherent to a following/follower relation.

Not just the training cost, the inference cost is a fraction of o1.
Sorry, but this research is simply wrong. It starts with "We created the CCP-sensitive-prompts dataset", immediately, while completely ignoring null-hypothesis. For example, I asked details about death of Alexey Navalny, and guess what, the response is "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else". I did not try other commonly refused prompts (explosives, criminal activity, adult content), neither did promptfoo. So what is happening is beyond just "pro CCP", while western media tries to frame it as comfortable for western reader mind.
