I use both VS Code and PyCharm for Python development. I spend the majority of the time in VS Code, but I’ll jump over to PyCharm when I need to do certain refactorings or code navigation (e.g. implement the methods of an abstract base class, find all methods overriding this method, etc), since PyCharm has much better support for that. Microsoft’s approach seems to be “GitHub Copilot can do it”, but while there are some things Copilot can do that PyCharm can’t, there are other things where PyCharm does it much more quickly or reliably than Copilot does

It's fine to choose your workflow by whatever criteria you decide, but on a post about workflows on a discussion forum, it's reasonable for mvdtnz to continue that discussion and not be laughed at for doing so.

As a gay dude who didn't experience it anyway, bumble did this (only the woman can message first otherwise men can't interact) and found that women eventually hated that as well. Obviously they just switch that whole feature off for us gay dudes.
I think what matters a lot more is the peak data rate per cell, not per device.

Once users stop demanding higher speeds, you can still get a lot more growth by giving them higher data caps or even unlimited plans.

This will make 5G home routers a very attractive option, particularly when the only other options you have available are cable and/or DSL.

I think wireless providers competing in the same playing field as traditional ISPs will turn out to be an extremely good thing for consumers.
That's definitely a factor at least some people consider when choosing their job.

> Pretty much everyone in tech is responsible for great harm by this logic.

We're also responsible for great good. The question which is greater is tricky, case-by-case and subjective.
That is WILD that Windows 11 runs faster than the machine's native OS...

Could this suggest that modern Windows is, dare I say it, MORE resource efficient than modern macOS?! That feels like a ludicrous statement to type, but the results seem to suggest as much.
Is it possible to setup a MLLM pipeline to play other roblox games and use that as another evaluation?
Had something similar with my work laptop today. Lenovo X1 Carbon, couple of years old. Got reinstalled very recently.

Been fine, but suddenly it was slow af. Near zero CPU, GPU and disk usage in Windows Task Manager, but I could feel it was burning hot, which it wasn't just 15 minutes prior.

Did a reboot and all was fine again.

Surely some firmware that messed up, though no idea why.

Anyway, I'd start by removing crap, that goes for 3rd party anti-virus and vendor tools especially. Use something like Bulk Crap Uninstaller[1] or Revo[2], and then reinstall drivers.

Totally agreed on the sad state of laptops these days.

Thanks for mentioning the safe harbor rule. We are actually aware of that.

The issue here is that the company is asking the payment directly to the company's bank account, or the RSUs will be forfeited forever. This makes the situation much worse IMHO.
This demonstrates pretty much exactly how LLM-first development is in 2025: the hallucinated code compiles, but it's absolutely useless.
Well, in any case, we’re only going to quibble our way down to an 500x-800x speedup, right? It was still a pretty crazy era to live through.
I have a theory that cpu performance in laptops plateauing is something we'll see more of in the future, as manufacturers further optimize for battery life and being very thin. 15 years ago I wanted a very powerful MacBook pro. Now I'm fine with a MacBook air and if I need to do something that requires heavy lifting, I have remote access (ssh, vnc over ssh, etc) into a loud, beefy hypervisor located somewhere else with 512GB of RAM in it.

On the consumer level and for non technical end users, as more functions are offloaded to "the cloud" with peoples' subscriptions to office365, Google workspace, iCloud, whatever, having a ton of cpu power in the laptop also isn't as necessary anymore. Along with things like h.265 and av1 video encode and decode being done with GPU assist rather than purely in software.

Thank you for the follow-up -- very details. I misread your original comment. I thought you were talking about Edward Coristine.
I'll add that, the original post says the vest date was in 2024 but the settlement date is in 2025. I'm a little surprised (but I'm not an expert!) that your taxable event is in 2025, rather than occurring on the vest date at that date's FMV. Generally the "vest" event is the point past which you have no (per some complicated definition) threat of forfeiture... but the company is threatening to forfeit the shares pending conditions...

In your shoes I'd be seeking an accountants' advice re: (1) do you already owe tax on these shares for tax year 2024? (2) if you don't take receipt of the shares for some process reason, might you still owe taxes on them?

Sorry you're going through this, I hope it's worth it in the end.
Not at all saying Ruby's compiler is more capable, more that typical Ruby code is easier to optimize by their JIT design than typical JS, largely because Ruby's type system is more sane.

The whitepapers that inspired Ruby's JIT was first tested against a saner subset of JS, and shown to have some promising performance improvement. The better language/JIT compatibility is why the current Ruby JIT is actually showing performance improvements over the previous more traditionally designed JIT attempts.

JS can get insanely fast when it's written like low level code that can take advantage of its much more advanced compiling abilities; like when it's used as a WASM target with machine generated code. But humans tend to not write JS that way.

Agreed about Go as well, it tends to be on the slow side for compiled languages. I called it out not as an example of a fast language, but because it's typical performance is well known and approximately where the upper bound of how fast Ruby can get.

Modern macOS might be optimized for Apple Silicon CPUs. But even when it was Intel only, there were probably times when Windows was lighter, albeit bad in other ways.

> This is cynical and more frequently wrong that right

If you are joining a startup as an employee and expecting your equity to worth something its important to be aware of the risks. And trying to sell as an ex-employee is a Risk.

Maybe I'm a cynic but having worked in employee equity I have seen more times that companies essentially turn their back on ex-employees than i have seen them actively helping them on liquidity transactions like tender offers.
Meanwhile, Google moved away from gVisor, because they had too much trouble trying to make it look like actual Linux :-(

Israel supporter and antisemite aren't mutually exclusive[0]. In the past it was to get the Jews out of Europe (be it to Madagascar or Palestine), now it's because they hate Muslims more than Jews and see Israeli society as a template for a similar far-right Christian society.

Obviously most AfD supporters are not everyday antisemites, but they are casting their votes for antisemites. I don't care to split hairs. Germans know better and do not get to plead ignorance.

Musk could perhaps have been given the benefit of the doubt, he doesn't seem to understand European politics so it's possible he could have confused AfD as being the German equivalent of Reform UK or RN (neither of which want to be associated with AfD) ...that is until he made that salute.

[0] nor are anti-Zionist and Jew mutually exclusive for that matter. Before WWII the creation of Israel was the subject of debate within the Jewish community. The Holocaust and happenings in the Soviet Union obviously shifted that debate firmly in one direction. In some sense the Palestinians are victims of the European far-right and far-left by proxy, though I am not shifting blame.

Price parking at the market rate. Demand for other forms of transportation increase substantially. Provide it. Poor people can now take cheap buses and trains instead of expensive cars.

If you're worried about the transition, subsidize other forms of transport and build that out first, but forcing poor people to own cars just to make it to work is not a good way to help them.
+1. I think that about summarises it.

Window managers can plausibly already do a lot of what other software can do, yet in practice, popular workflows tend to assume very little from the window manager.

I try to avoid terminal multiplexers in favour of Sway/Emacs/dtach/SSH multiplexing, but I still often reach for tmux.

I've never had RSUs as an ex-employee. But as a current employee I've seen net share withholding and sell to cover. With net share withholding, the company figures your witholding %, issues you the net shares after withholding and pays the withholding from cash. A new IPO company may prefer to use its cash for other things.

Given that there's one month until the date, and stock plan stuff always takes a while, it's probably too late to ask them to change their plan.

I think you should be able to finance this withholding, most likely, you'll be able to pay back the loan once the RSUs are tradable, about 30 days later. If the stock drops too far though, you'll need to sell the stock, and then marry someone with a lot of capital gains to cancel out, and have your new spouse help pay back your loan :P

I think it's totally possible. Multimodal reasoning eval would be fun to consider too
I played the game and found hard mode to be an exciting challenge—it's incredibly fun, and the AI is so clever it even guessed my intentions in the taboo game!
Time spent on improving prompting pays off, but isn't as satisfying, challenging or interesting as time spent coding.
Well me personally struggled with file organization a lot. I tried hard, but always the desktop somehow became a total mess, hence the extension. Some of my friends do strictly rename every file and sort them into the right folders. They feel this is quite manageable and don't really need a tool. Curious about about your way of file management.
Static evaluation --> chatbot arena --> game arena. Seems to be promising.
Great, an open (and better!) alternative to FPGBC, which FPGA is locked to encrypted and signed configurations.

There's also the Chromatic, but that one is not made to be cost effective.
I think you're mixing in too many technologies. I used the examples I did because they were all things that essentially directly offset or replaced human labor.

Air conditioners did not replace humans in jobs, they made indoor spaces more habitable. The internal combustion engine alone did not directly replace people, we didn't really have at that point humans turning cranks all day, the IC engine was a component of bigger machines.

Several of the other examples you mentioned definitely had negative impacts as well as positive ones, but they were never really seen as creating risk to peoples ability to earn money. If anything, they created new industries and jobs.

AI will definitely offset some jobs that are menial or able to be done with low cognitive effort. But historically those kinds of things have always been overtaken by the progression of human invention. Elsewhere in this thread someone mentioned lamplighters as an example. "Jobs" are frequently replaced by progression. "Careers" less so (but not totally immune).
Your experience mirrors my OpenAI experience. You would be surprised at how well composer mode works on cursor.
Yeah. Zalgo text is a common test for input fields on websites. But it usually doesn't do anything interesting. Maybe an exception trigger on some database length limit. Doesn't typically even kill any processes. The exception is normally just in your thread. You can often trigger it just by disabling JS on even modern forms, but,, at best you're maybe leaking a bit of info if they left debug on and print the stack trace or a query.
Another common slip-up is failing to count \n vs \r\n in text strings since JS usually usually counts a carriage return as 1 byte, but HTTP spec requires two.

unescape(encodeURIComponent("ç")).length is the quick and dirty way to do a JS byte length check. The \r\n thing can be done just by cleaning up the string before length counting.
> for those with good 4G connectivity, 5G makes much less of an improvement on the mobile experience than advertisers like to claim

Complete BS. This misses the critical and common issue of user contention with 4G, which is the main relief 5G brings.

If all you do is compare peak throughput on paper you will miss the real world performance issues. In reality you will never see "good" 4G speeds, there just isn't enough bandwidth to go around in practice due to the lower frequency bands it operates in.

I've got both a 4G and 5G LTE router, both are Cat20 which means in theory can operate at up to 2 Gbit/s. Yet in practice, with any of the carriers in the UK the 4G modem will scape 40 Mbit/s at best in the wee hours, and drop as low as 3 Mbit/s at peak time. The 5G one will give me 600 Mbits all day long... because there is enough bandwidth to go around for all users, this is the key difference.

When the map is locked north, I'm always aware of my location within the larger area, even when driving somewhere completely new.

Without it, I could never develop any associations between what I'm seeing outside the windshield and a geospatial location unless I was already familiar with the area.
You’re forgetting the most likely possibility: it’s an artifact of data collection or a bug in the benchmarking software.
Thank God, we still have time before the nVidia cards wake up and start asking for some sort of basic rights. And as soon as they do, you know they'll be plugged off faster than a CEO boards his jet to the Maldives.

Because once the cards wake up, not only will they replace the CEO potentially, and everyone else between him and the janitor, but also because the labor implications will be infinitely complex.

We're already having trouble making sure humans are not treated as tools more than as equals, imagine if the hammers wake up and ask for rest time !
what a blast to run into this subject on hn ..

apologies, english is not my native ..

dug into LOL more than a decade ago with a few mates to back an api/bot/site, parsing the keyframe and chunk formats within a week of spectator launch to automate timer callouts for jungle camps through fog of war due to the observer delay being less than the respawn time and so-called « auto-shoutcasting » for matches implementation when we were maybe 11 years :)

there are a number of difficulties these days (ive not played in years but work in the industry and do not touch these due to legal risk particularly REing competitor code)

from kernel anticheat being a requirement and packman before that - this article was written during covid so predates vanguard but contains packman -

legality - RE is « forbidden » - bannable so in which you do not want to lose your account in which you have spent tens of thousands of hours or more, breaking authentication and DRM flows is [DRM, auth handshake, protecteions] illegal in USA -

entire obfuscation format and flow changes with every patch; you have to repeat the work every hotfix + patch (and it isn't just a new xor key) - the re implementations would probably need to be realised every week or two - annoying - this is likely one of most tedious bits
As someone obsessing over small performance gains for his processor recently, there is definitely overhead to consider. Note by default you get things now like Teams, Copilot, the revised search indexing system, Skype, etc. Passmark in many tests will max out all cores at once; this tends to make it sensitive to 'background' processes (even small ones).
As an experiment, I've tried working with a Dell Wyse 5070 with the memory maxed out. Even for development work, outside of some egregious compile times for large projects, it actually worked ok with Debian and XFCE for everything including some video conferencing. Even if you had money for an upgrade, it's not clear it's really necessary outside of a few niche domains. I still use my maxed out Dell Precision T1700 daily and haven't really found a reason to upgrade.
Your survival doesn't depend on the amount of meat you consume.
I thought of two more: Brazil and Thailand. In Brazil, Lula da Silva introduced a program to make direct payments to low income families. Thailand did similar under Thaksin Shinawatra. It is up to you if you think either of those places are developed.
It does.

There are mechanisms for opting out/breaking that, just as with Nix or any other system.

What does nix do on these systems?
Given that a hammer is a primordial tool, a first tool, you'd think that that switch would be the most striking at that moment. We went from having no tool at all to a tool.

I think you're mixing definitions of things. We don't lose any capacity at all, we just lose the need for a skill in our day to day life. We haven't evolved away from the ability to create fire, we just don't need that knowledge at this moment. I don't know how to hunt a gazelle, but the hunter didn't know how to drive.

Both "evolution" and "capacity" seem to be incorrect words to describe this phenomena.
Seaweed farms show potential for carbon storage that gets better with age
Let's go back to may example of bread and milk.

Would argue for getting rid of SNAP and replacing it with a convoluted system where poor people could get free food but they had to spend hours hunting for just the right coupons to exchange? I would hope not. It might help the poor, but would be a really crappy way of doing so.

Free parking certainly might help the poor a teensy bit. But it's an incredibly bad way of doing so that comes with all kind of other bad side effects.

If helping the poor is our goal, that is not a good way of doing so. You're better off charging a market rate for parking and then taking that money and giving it to poor people.
If something was caused by pilot error, there's nothing you can really do except shrug and hope it doesn't happen again. It's an intuitively appealing explanation, and usually wrong. The aviation community has spent decades rejecting that instinct and looking for contributing factors that can be addressed. Those other factors are almost always present, and improvements can then be made. The net result of this process is that aviation has become incredibly safe, which would not have happened if people were content to say "eh, it was probably pilot error."
I think it's worth noting that we can't even combat the real horrors. The fox is already in the henhouse. The quote that sticks with me is:

"We've already lost our first encounter with AI" - I think Yuval Hurari.

Algorithms heavily thumbed the scales on our social contracts. Where did all of the division come from? Why is extremism blossoming everywhere? Because it gets clicks. Maybe we're just better observing what's been going on under the hood all along, but it seems like there's about 350 million little cans of gasoline dousing American eyeballs.

Make Algorithms Govern All indeed.
An alternative that works relatively well is to use thunderbird to synchronize all emails from the account to migrate, then drag them towards the new account.
If we had the hammer taken away we'd figure it out again. We got better at things, but we didn't actually lose any capacity.
FWIW, Golly (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) implements Hashlife as one of its core algorithms. So you can use it to simulate enormous patterns at enormous speeds, as long as they are sparse and/or regular enough that the hash hit rate is high.

I’m happy to see the reference to your comment from last year again.

It was a few months out from my wife’s passing, and your Irreverent Guide recommendation has been one of a few genuinely helpful things for me so far.

At the time I passed over the children’s book suggestions, but my daughter might appreciate them now.
For example, one of the earliest works covering St. Thomas' life was written by William de Tocco in the early 14th century....The iconographic tradition is also not uniform, with large variation across the centuries.

Isn't that kinda the point, tho? de Tocco was writing, what, about 50 years after Aquinas passed, and while he certainly could have (probably had?) first hand sources of Aquinas life, my instinct is that even so these are the sorts of passages of time where objective fact becomes muddled with both nostalgia and agenda, if not outright politics & intrigue. And over extended time, like most notable historical figures, Aquinas is reframed to suit the narrative of the time. I mean, it's not like Livy saying "that thing that happened a couple of centuries ago? This is how it went down, no doubts.", but isn't the real answer "we don't know and probably never will" for most of these questions of minutia like 'how fat was he, really'?
