Same. Although I haven't tried VSCode in a lot of years. I did at one time have it set up to emulate vim quite well. I used it as a daily driver for over 6 months. It would puke the bed at least once a day, reseting the theme, losing all keyboard shortcuts. I'd restart it and go on my merry way.

I keep my Kotlin LSP for NeoVim up to date but it's just not a great experience. I often have to open IntelliJ to sort out import issues. The entire Java community is built on "don't worry about knowing where your imports are coming from, your IDE will do that magic for you". So much is this the case, that the first Manning Kotlin book even said it. Because of this, I was eager to give Fleet a shot. My impression was, "you won't build an LSP because you're afraid of losing revenue... but you'll build this?" Ok. I guess that makes sense - keep people on your playground.

I sure do LOVE Kotlin as a language. But telling me I have to use your product to write it? I'd rather write Go... or even Typescript at that point. Both of those have really nice experiences in a simple text editor + LSP.
Because of various security issues, what you really want is something like this web standard going forward: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/web-bundles

and combine that with the js file APIs for working with data files.
I have moved to VScode after being a paying Jetbrains customer for 6 years.
The Jetbrains IDEs are clunky and slow, they also have plenty of bugs which remain open for years.
They do offer some really powerful refactoring capabilities but I don’t miss them.

Most of my work is in Go, Rust and Typescript.

I was told by Jetbrains representatives that Fleet is now deprioritized internally, which is a pity.
Yes, but what kind of AI? LLM chatbots or military robotics? LLMs seem to be drawing most of the money these days and I don't think that should be the focus of the EU. We need advanced drones and anti-drone defense systems, advanced air defense against hypersonic missiles and glided aviation bombs, high precision artillery systems, anti-tank weapons. I don't see LLMs making any breakthroughs in those fields. Maybe transformer neural networks can be tuned to solve some prediction problems in these areas. Maybe some vision models can be tuned to detect and track aerial threats, or movements of troops. My point is, we need investment in AI for defense not in customer support chatbots. Unless it's chatbots that generate smart military moves on the battle field...we don't need them. Let the Americans and the Chinese play with their chit-chatbots. We have bigger fish to fry.
Hahaha, I agree. I hope it can be at least better than reactjs + Django (API backend)
$10,000 ain’t much for that.
Unless you build a “get email for all of your viewers” service that streamers use to gather emails
What would it offer that you can't already get from DBATools, LINQ, and ORMs more generally?
I've been working for the same company for over 7 years and a lot of the shared code that other developers use is mine.

Frequently I would guide other developers to implementing something and in doing so I'd guide them down to what files to open and how to integrate it. I find this process a lot more convenient over Zoom where I can annotate with a pencil. I use that to underline blocks of code. It's a bit like you have a mouse and I have a mouse on the same screen but in a nice way.

In a workflow like that I sometimes want to write pseudo code and I would very much welcome a feature like that. Currently JetBrains has a "Code with me" plugin or something similar, but it's a bit laggy and struggles when fast typers meet. And a feature like that is good both when I take my laptop and sit next to you, and when we're on Zoom while talking.
This is so polished! Have you shared the latex / other bits anywhere ?
Yes, but not for the reason that I want a mother figure in the house. Only recently, have I been able to date without comparing any new prospective partners to my late wife. I have yet to meet the right person.

It’s also a very big ask of a new partner for them to step in and fulfil the role of mother to your child.
You've missed my core point if you think those isn't different. Before AI there was always someone who understood the code/system.

In the a world where people are having machines build the entire system, there is potentially no human that has ever understood it. Now, we are talking about a yet unseen future; I have yet to see a real world system that did not have a human driving the design. But, maintaining a system that nobody has ever understood could be ultra-hardmode.
I think this is puny: I was able to take over accounts on a cybersecurity platform just by knowing their account email and was only paid $200
I'm not a fan of The Fast and the Furious franchise but I stop short of calling for fans to be sterilised:

> The same low-IQ trash who watch the fast and furious franchise.
Fascinating how many people had to actively shove this to the side so that it became potentially life threatening:

- CFM designed an engine that, in certain emergencies, dumps oil into the quite possible (actually traditional, if I understand correctly?) human-breathing stream of the aircraft, apparently, without the relevant human-breathing system shutdown mandate when said (or any) emergency system is triggered;
[truth be told, we never heard their complete story]

- Boeing integrating said new engines into their new 737MAX without appropriately checking for possible new emergency mode interactions with their life-support (in this case, breathing) systems.

- FAA dropped the ball upon accident investigation;

- FAA removed their employee that then picked up the ball;

- EASA swallowing what they were told by FAA without asking further questions;

Well...

I have worked in many no-harm potential software projects that employed more careful engineering than this.

All hardware projects I worked on employed more careful engineering than this.

Conclusion:
It becomes more and more difficult to falsify that Boeing, nowadays, simply abandoned engineering design reviews, and, relies solely on some blend of "agile" methods to design people-carrying airplanes.
And then Google notices, kills the bug, and comes after you. Meanwhile, each of those streamers is criminally liable. Sounds like a great business!
Your analysis points out some real problems, but I think they are more systemic rather than just cultural. (This is not to say that the cultural issues are not real)

1. Startups mostly leave because Europe doesn not have a private capital ecosystem and hence entrepreneurs can not get sufficient funding for growth.

2. There is some truth to this statement in the sense that some people have this mentality but is not true in general. There are profitable companies in Europe and there are jurisdictions (Denmark, Ireland, Estonia, etc) where it is reasonably attractive to have a company. The data does not show that this makes a difference: the biggest startup markets are still in the larger countries that have a larger (capital) market, even though these countries are usually more hostile to business.

3. Yes, that is the case with all government subsidies, however often their founding documents claim to wish to support small and new things.
Interesting. Do you have a theory about why so few humans have taken it upon themselves to advance the butterflies, despite having plenty of resources?
There's typically much less red tape for smaller funding programs from the EU, so if you're only getting a couple hundred thousand you'll deal with a lot less requirements than a company getting tens of millions. There's still bureaucracy, but it's not as insurmountable as some make it out to be.
Meanwhile Europe still doesn't have a cloud hyperscaler, so most of these €200B will end up in the coffers of Amazon, Google and Microsoft, the real winners.
In my line of work (writing JavaScript that will run on Android devices) there is no such thing as fast enough. If you’re not going as fast as possible the experience is bad. After all this is a platform where getting data from the local disk is frequently slower than the network because there’s so little CPU & disk bandwidth…
...and the Saab cup holder. Not a control per se but always fascinates the odd passenger. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tjVN6p8VkPM
Ten that fail in the exact same way is a real possibility.
So how does this work, the solar panel is plugged into the flats electricity with no problems?

Is there an inverter that can add the power in, can it just be plugged into a normal socket.

The article seems to focus on the solar power aspect. What is preventing this from being done in the UK? There are very high safety standards for home electrics, I"m just curious as to how these are resolved.
If it's infrequently accessed data then yes, but for a machine that you use every day it's nice if things keep working after a failure and you only need to plug in a replacement disk. I use the same machine for data storage and for home automation for example.

The third copy is in the cloud, write/append only. More work and bandwidth cost to restore, but it protects against malware or fire. So it's for a different (unlikely) scenario.
What's his vision though? (This isn't me being naive - it's more of me asking the reader of these comments to contemplate this)
We don't even have a SWAT team in our muni and people have been "Swatted" here.
I appreciate the sentiment, but worry that this is just scratching the surface:

1) AIs are not reliable. Even if they are not hallucinating, their training may have been compromised by misinformation, either accidentally or deliberately.

2) People who fall victim to misinformation are often not interested in fact checking, so your product may be preaching to the choir.

3) The most important claims that need fact checked are often made about something that happened recently, or where the facts lay buried deep in large government reports. AI is not going to use such information in real-time to give an accurate response.
Interesting! Have not heard about intertia. Lemme check it out!
Thanks!
Yes, his hiring does mean more attention to conspiracy theories about US government policies toward population control. He’s surely there to enhance the prestige of fringe population control ideas.

But placing him in the State department is a signal about Taiwan, a much bigger story.
At least in the US, a sub panel is an easy grand or two even if it’s right next to the main panel.
> Somehow, there is no such thing as left wing edge lord.

I mean, I'm a pretty staunch socialist/commie and there are plenty of hard-left edgelords out there "joking" about gulags and executing academics and so on.
We think similarly. I saw your other app. https://www.ussherpress.com/cardbuddy/ It's like a better version of my first offline web app. https://zeminary.com/matrix/app.html
Defining VLEO at 220km seems dumb. The ISS survives perfectly fine on periodic boosts.
Show HN: Yumbox, iOS app to track and filter your fav restaurants (No signup)
After 8 months I have launched my first app Yumbox. It helps you track your favorite restaurants with many visualization modes and filtering options. You can explore your saved restaurants through a map or a list. You can filter, visualize (in the map) and sort by food type, price, rating, or distance. Whether you’re planning a trip or craving something at the moment, Yumbox will help you choose the best option
This is a bit of clickbaity article, the tweet in question was comparing the unreleased model's performance in a negative light against competitors.

Also a number of other tech companies have similar policies in place for speaking about unreleased products
Well, it's uncertain that "quarter" in this sense came from the Middle French. Early Modern English also uses "quarter" to mean "the relations between people", Shakespeare uses it for instance

The actual link is obscure, but I don't think it matters too much - I'm observing a similarity, not attesting an origin.
Really nice
P.S don't try viewing Everest :)
It seems like it comes from an british convention of spelling dates "February 12, 2025" instead of the now more common "The 12th of February, 2025".

Like US customary units, imported from the british, but the UK modernized its system, not the US.
Same. I've only used collaborative tools like Google Docs with other people exactly once in college for a group report. Naturally we procrastinated so long that we were knocking it out the day it was due. I must say it did a good job adding momentum.

Other than that never in my professional experience as a programmer. Except for open source work I was helping with. 3 of us would meet on Jitsi main contributor would sometimes share an SSH session with us in addition to streaming live coding sessions. Don't recall it actually being useful though. Dunno. It's probably one of those features that if it works well and is easy, then I might use it more.
> In fact, you again spend your whole message talking about abstract considerations

No.

Not abstractions.

I have experience of software, I know how bad the entire industry is.

https://xkcd.com/2030/ applies to everything.

Even without malice, my degree used as case studies the failures of the Therac-25 and the digitalisation of the 1992 failure of the London Ambulance Service computerised dispatch system.

Hospitals and devices do get attacked. Bitcoin ransomware does affect hospitals. These are not abstractions, they are things that actually happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_device_hijack

I wasn't being "abstract" when I said the frequency with which attacks are attempted can be measured in Herz, that's an actual anecdote from someone I knew a decade ago.
So your arguments that it’s “objectively bad” are

- it has bad defaults for theme (which I bet most devs change immediately anyways on every IDE)

- “common items” (which when unspecified could be assumed to be subjective to each persons workflow) are hidden in submenus?

- “common shortcuts” (again unspecified) require stretching (again, something trivially changed)

Unless you have more these feel not only extremely weak but extremely subjective. Please avoid trying to phrase your opinions as some fact it’s a tiring trope these days.
Yeah. Stuff like Obsidian. I think they focus too much on building knowledge bases. & that Microsoft Word focuses too little. This app, you just take whatever notes you need to get things done.
wholemarscatalog is a completely unreliable. Show me the source. Dude is a tesla shill.
Can confirm. I experienced EU EC research project red tape to similar than DARPA.

Most of the red tape comes from excesses or abuses from the past. Government agencies tend to slap an extra layer of rules every time the grant money is being misused.

Those kind of rules also reveal what is being interpreted as misuse or abuse. For instance, you cannot expense a meal that includes an alcoholic beverage on an US federal budget.
Some regulations are definitely good—like food quality standards—when applied correctly and without giving a free pass to other countries (e.g., Morocco, Ukraine).

But then you have bad regulations, such as NIS, salary "transparency," nuclear energy restrictions, the Digital Markets Act, the AI Act, and Farm to Fork, among others.

On top of that, there’s the massive cost to taxpayers just to keep those people in Brussels.
It's not a good idea to spread fake news like this correctiv disinformation:

"At the center of the proceedings is a Tagesschau report that was based on misleading assessments of the Correctiv report. It was falsely claimed that the expulsion of German citizens and the revocation of citizenship based on racist criteria had been discussed at the meeting in Potsdam. This was refuted by affidavits from the participants."

> Bye bye FOSS.

Don't be silly.

Paid software == a requirement to be of merchantable quality: to do what it claims, do it reliably, and keep doing it, so long as clearly stated requirements are met.

If this means all paid apps become tiny simplistic things in weird restrictive type-safe languages like Ada -- win!

Free software == you break it, you get to keep both halves. Our liability is what you paid, nothing more.
What can we do based off what you learned from this book to improve things currently?

I talked to a Jetbrains representative at a conference about this. They said Fleet was/is an experiment in the realtime collaboration tech, which really bloomed during Covid.
They said it is no longer seen as a good direction internally, so not to expect much.

Maybe things have changed since then, no idea.
> Hardware video decoding has worked perfectly for decades.

That must be why Linux forums are full of VA-API tutorials and how to enable hardware decoding on Chrome then.

> UEFI itself has worked fine for as long as it has existed as far as I know?

Depends on the board, some boards don't play ball with Linux distros.

> Why you would replace the userland with "managed language frameworks" is quite beyond me.

Google has their reasons, as does LG, seems to work quite well in market share.
DeaDBeeF: The Ultimate Music Player
This ties in nicely with the bookmarking discussion about Pinboard. I particularly like the following quote from this article:

> Now, of course, there are many advantages to this shift: collaboration, backups, multi-device access, and so on. But it’s a trade! In exchange, we’ve lost the ability to work offline, user experience and performance, and indeed true dominion over our own data.

I’ve decided that the advantages of storing my bookmarks locally far outweigh the chance that I'll want to access them from a different device or collaborate with someone else on them. Yes, it means I've created something of a 'silo', but I'm starting to think that's not a bad thing.
Define "supervised"?

It was never a secret that Waymo had remote monitors. Does this "monitoring" count as "supervised"?

Or does "supervised" mean that the cars were actively being remotely controlled? As in Tesla's recent robotic demos.
I posted a story that suggests renewables generally have no impact on prices in the US yesterday:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43014254

It would seem to come down to policy more than generation price when comparing across countries, but by comparing over time you see little change attributable to renewables adoption.
I may have lost the thread here. Are you thinking it's _likely_ AI would prioritize better ways to control us, or are you only brainstorming potential slivers of hope we might have?

As a side note: in the case of chickens, humans do have better options if you are optimizing for biosphere health. Only people optimizing for short-term profit would grow chickens the way we do. I think the analog for AI overlords is that we have to hope they care more about overall balance than about competing with other AI.
> Thus far, the electronic age has been much less bloody.

You're not looking at the right signs.

In terms of pollution and environmental damage, including with direct human impact such as microplastics, things have been getting worse pretty much exponentially quicker every year _since_ the end of WW2.
I believe that the two most likely futures for the wasm-as-puglin-engine are mod in games and applications with a generic extension interface.

IMO in games developers would prefer something with a reasonable repl like lua or javascript (as a game is already assumed to be heavy if the mods are not performance critical running a V8 should not be a problem) for extensions in generic complex applications (things like, VSCode, Blender, Excel, etc.) I would posit that the wasm sandbox could be a really good way to enable granular-permission secure extenstion.
Especially when ignoring prior art, and why it eventually went away.
The best is yet to come.

My son is non verbal, non mobile.

We live the life of the Servant. We used to define ourselves by our profession, now we define ourselves as "special needs parent". This is a step closer to actually being more human. How trivial our lives were before, how we wasted so many hours on shit that didn't matter!
Cherrypicking preserves the original metadata -- author name, date, commit message.

At my job, we use it to backport upstream commits from vendors or other internal branches. If we just copied the contents (everything at once?!) and made new commits, it would become impossible to track and we'd end up with chaos.

Keeping the original rationale for changes is invaluable when trying to understand complex code. There are few things more frustrating than a commit that says only "fix bug".

As for other git commands, git bisect is wonderful.
What he said about regulation in the EU is so outrageous that this is the EU Commission's plan for the next 5 years:

"we will radically lighten the regulatory load for people, businesses and administrations in the EU. To boost prosperity and resilience, the Commission will propose unprecedented simplification to unleash opportunities, innovation and growth." [1] (Published this very morning!)

Hmm... DOGEU?

Here's the source:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_...

• strengthen the EU's generative AI talent pool through education, training, skilling and reskilling activities;

• encouragement of public and private investments in AI start-ups and scale-ups, including through venture capital or equity support

• development and deployment of Common European Data Spaces, made available to the AI community

• GenAI4EU: support the development of novel use cases and emerging applications in Europe's 14 industrial ecosystems

• expansion of computing infrastructure to "100 000 last-generation AI chips"

Overall it sounds very similar to last year's announcement:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_...
To me its sounds better and more correct to say:

February 12th, 2025

Rather than:

12 February 2025

And is easier to say than:

The 12th of February 2025

So it's always been natural to write the numeric form the same way, but I am American. I can appreciate day first being easier to sort by machines and having an agreed upon international standard.
It's difficult to say what is a choice and what isn't. Is anything my choice? Perhaps the world is deterministic, so nothing is anyone's choice. But also, I have seen people who seemingly choose to wallow in their grief.

Also what is depression? I'm very sad that my partner died. I miss her. Some people have a chemical imbalance in their body. These are entirely different things. Perhaps I shouldn't have used that word, which has so many different meanings as to lose meaning altogether.

When you have a kid and don't want to get out of bed the whole day, eventually the kid is hungry enough to start screaming, and it will keep screaming until you get out of bed and feed it. It really is in everyone's mutual interest, depression or not. It's harder to stay depressed when you have to do things. It's easier to stay depressed when you can lie in bed the whole day.
Remember, these are Overton Window kinds of people. It’s mentioned several times in the article, along with Bannon and Carlson. The tactic is to assume that the two valid extremes are center and fascist, and the longer they get to talk, the more valid the extremist side.

He’s not talking to the young couple who saw that movie on a date. He’s talking to someone who wants the power to sterilize them.

What's an "AI gigafactory"?
Ostensibly it's not one of the main features, Datagrip as a product has been a thing long before AI integration was even a thought
