Show HN: Switch2Cursor – Smoothly Switch Between JetBrains IDEs and Cursor
I've developed a JetBrains IDE plugin that enables developers to quickly switch between JetBrains IDEs and Cursor Editor. Key features:

- Maintains cursor position sync for seamless context switching
- Keyboard shortcuts (Mac: Option+Shift+P/O, Win: Alt+Shift+P/O)
- Supports all JetBrains IDEs (2022.3+)
- Open source

Background:
With the growing popularity of Cursor Editor, many developers frequently switch between JetBrains IDEs and Cursor. This plugin addresses the efficiency issues that arise from constant switching.

Feel free to try it out and provide feedback!
Portuguese complain about the drug zombies a lot more than I do.

We lost the war, so let’s just admit it and move on. Like you say, there is nothing we can do, so we should redirect our resources to unhoused cases that we have a much better chance of solving. We can liberalize drugs if you want, let them do all the fent they want; society just shouldn’t be on the hook for fixing them, which doesn’t seem to work very well anyways, even if we spend all of our money on it.
Thank you for proving my long-held guess
> Sorry, when you are the president you don't get that leeway to make mistakes and then correct them by saying "sorry, my bad!" No way.

What does "don't get to" mean? Descriptively, this is false; normatively, this seems like a completely impossible standard to hold presidents to. You want them to literally never make any mistakes?
We don't need to do this. Just put the panels on this planet. And fix the politicians brain worms / fear of other politicians with brain worms.

If we can't get a solar panel on our roofs I can't see the impetus to get them up past the moon.

"Thin blue line" is a popular phrase of the so called "American culture war". During the heyday of the Black Lives Matter movement, it was used as a self-identification by those who did not agree with criticisms of the nations policing and justice systems. A closely related symbol is the Punisher[0] skull from Marvel comics.

All in all, this could just be another instance of the "culture war" inflaming every other minor disagreement with Ted playfully using the phrase and Marcan misinterpreting it. Or it could be Ted slipping up with their politics. From what I know about Marcan and what can be inferred from his post, they do seem like someone the alt-right would persecute.
The brain does not perform "calculations" in the same way a digital computer does which actually doesn't calculate anything either. Calculating is an act of intention. Computers do not have intention. Rather using a fixed and stored instruction set humans can use the combinatorial networks of computer microcode to generate a certain deterministic result. The flow is one path. Human intention->software->combinatorial machinery->result. One input one output.

In contrast the brain takes multiple inputs and transforms them into controlled action in the real world in the service of goals. This action manifests as multiple complex outputs. The single neuron is a complicated analog computer. The brain is a functional network of 100 billion neurons or whatever the number is.

The "living constitution" angle doesn't get you anywhere. If we are going to "pragmatically reinterpret" the Constitution to allow the modern administrative state, that just makes it more exigent to "pragmatically reinterpret" the law to ensure effective presidential control over the administrative state. I'd start by reinterpreting the Hatch Act to allow prosecuting anyone in the government who "resists" policies such as DOGE and mass deportations.
If your response to someone's worry about job security is "quit preemptively" of course they won't want to hear it. It's not a great reason to quit.
I don't normally comment on geopolitical stuff, but I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if Canada just decided to close the border, lock out all the American companies operating up here, and stopped exporting anything. With no access to oil, wood, electricity, car parts, or steel, I think people will be quickly chomping to get rid of the orange man and his billionaire cronies.

Could this be the reason why iPads haven't had a calculator app until recently?

Because it's such a difficult problem to solve that it required elite coders and Masters/PhD level knowledge to even make an attempt?

I absolutely understand this. However, was there any particular reason why 9x used 3.1 as it's preinstallation environment, as opposed to booting 9x directly? AFAIK, this imposed a lot of very specific restrictions on filename lengths because the preinstall environment didn't understand FAT32 LFN extensions.

In comparison, the preinstall environment for the NT line was always just NT. Same for Linux and Mac OS[0].

[0] OS 9's install media was actually a live CD, funnily enough, mainly because that OS was about as technically sophisticated as Windows 3.x.
Ask HN: ChatGPT or their API for costs consideration?
I just did a small experiment:

I exported all my chatgpt conversations and calculated total costs I would have incurred were I using their API (gpt-4o) model.

My "total" costs, across all conversaitons from entire history of using it for almost 2 years, came out to just 34$!!! In the same time I have been paying them 20$/month, amounting to 20*20=400$!

I'm an average ChatGPT user using it mostly for ptogramming related tasks.

Here's the script I used to calculate (this is adapted from their own index.html file when you get exported chat data):

> living things

Definition?

> thinking can’t happen without a living organism

Ah, it must have organs?

By extension of your argument really leads to solipsism. The only real evidence we have—sorry, that I have-is that I am conscious, because I experience qualia. You might experience qualia, and there is the only evidence you have.

As you have done, you could then extrapolate that those that—by one's eye—share one's physiology (i.e. substrate, primate brain etc.) and kind of look and behave like one's self (i.e. other primates) are conscious and intelligent. But then cephalopods demonstrate intelligence with a completely different neural network structure. Maybe these alien creatures are also conscious? Maybe they feel pain? (Oestensibly they do, I'm sure you'll agree.) If so, what is it that is shared between these two different organisms that cause this to arise? And specifically why must it be just because they have squishy organs?

Just for the record, CDMX has a crime rate of over 50,000 per 100,000 residents, meaning that there’s one crime for every two residents each year. SF’s crime rate is about 6,000 per 100,000 - so about eight times safer. CDMX might feel safer than SF to you, but it is unequivocally much, much more dangerous.

When the housing crisis there reaches its breaking point (driven by gentrifying transplants), we’ll see if even the feeling lasts.

Remove the SIM card and pop it into some other phone? Unless the SIM has a PIN lock, but I guess you could go to the telco for help with that.

At least SMS is easy to divert that way. Think about the services that verify over Whatsapp or Telegram. Good luck finding someone who cares there.
I just use tiered notifications. Messaging apps or things I should respond to immediately have push notifications on (interrupts). Things I don’t need to reply to urgently like email only have badge icons (red counter) (so, polled). I go zero inbox and clean until the badges are all gone at least once a day. Most apps have notifications disabled.

I really can’t stand any social media stuff giving notifications. It should never ever rise to “interrupt” priority. For me.
> Because I couldn't name any programming language people in use today that has no built-in date type.

But this isn’t true. COBOL 85 has builtin functions for representing dates as an integer from 1601 epoch. IBM mainframe COBOL supports two operation modes, ANSI-compatible mode in which those functions use the 1601 epoch, and IBM-compatible mode which use a 1582 epoch instead - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cobol-zos/6.4?topic=options-intd...

A lot of COBOL software didn’t use the COBOL 85 date functions because it is so old it long predates COBOL 85, and also because old habits die hard and some COBOL programmers avoided using them.

COBOL 85 doesn’t have a date type per se, dates are either integers (count of days since epoch) or strings (YYYYMMDD). But, C’s ‘time_t’ isn’t really a separate type (in the sense that many other languages have them) it is just an alias for an integer type. So COBOL is closer to C on this than you might think

Abstract:

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit major shortfalls when interpreting images and, by some measures, have poorer spatial cognition than small children or animals. Despite this, they attain high scores on many popular visual benchmarks, with headroom rapidly eroded by an ongoing surge of model progress. To address this, there is a pressing need for difficult benchmarks that remain relevant for longer. We take this idea to its limit by introducing ZeroBench-a lightweight visual reasoning benchmark that is entirely impossible for contemporary frontier LMMs. Our benchmark consists of 100 manually curated questions and 334 less difficult subquestions. We evaluate 20 LMMs on ZeroBench, all of which score 0.0%, and rigorously analyse the errors. To encourage progress in visual understanding, we publicly release ZeroBench.
The internet was hailed as and did change the game. Even if we pretend for the sake of argument that AI magically becomes AGI, it still only changes the game about as much as hiring a team. And if it IS that good it certainly doesn't need you managing it.

It's also not as different as you make it out to be. A compiler takes the thinking away from targeting hardware (promise* reality: you still have to target hardware (and software), but you can write larger projects)
Likely AI will just become superhuman in various fields, subhuman in many other and won't be AGI for the foreseeable future (barring some kind of massive emergence in VLLMs).
> How un-democratic, huh?

Why are you using a quote about censorship and free speech to talk about the outcome of an election? Those aren’t related things.

Nobody thinks majority vote makes truth, but majority of electoral voters does determine the president of the US.

> Even if Trump had 99% of the votes

It sounds like your previous comment expressing concern about the number of voters was in bad faith.

> Trump voters have no clue how tariffs work

I noticed this actually isn’t an argument against tariffs.

I don’t think it’s going to look pretty if we starting quizzing low class democratic voters on economic questions either. This has no bearing on whether the policy is a good idea or not.
I have a moral objection to the government providing more support to a socially disruptive person than they give to someone who is more prosocial.

I really want to say you're right, but I'm afraid it's not necessarily true.

Before we had computers and machines, humans did all the work.

And you can't really reliably "code" humans. They misunderstand instructions. They disobey rules and regulations. They make mistakes.

But society still strived with these unreliable humans that have no "proof" whatsoever that they'll do the job properly.

In fact, these days we still often trust humans more than code, at least in areas where the stakes are high. For example, we trust human surgeons over programs that perform surgery. We trust humans to run the government rather than programs.

It's entirely plausible that future generations growing up with AI don't see the point of requiring "proof" of correctness when deploying automation. If an AI model does the job correctly for 99.99% the cases, isn't that sufficient "proof"? That's better than a human for sure.

Yeah that sounds dystopian but I don't see why it can't happen.

The American distinction is jail v prison.

In practice, the distinction is overblown.

Jails do hold long term prisoners, and prisons get pre-trial prisoners too.

There’s literally a market for jail beds. So prisoners are often sent where there’s an open spot, with little distinction between “short term” and “long term”.

A better distinction is that jails are run by a law enforcement agency, while prisons are not.
It's not wrong to talk to the people at the front desk about their company's bullshit practices. I don't have to be a customer, and neither do you have to be an employee. Dealing with people who need help dealing with your company is not going to fucking kill you.
Nah — usually they decided to do meth and the rest followed. I used to be pretty libertarian about drugs. Victimless crime and all. But in the last ten years, it’s become clear to me that they exploit fundamental human weaknesses. TBH - I’ve become a much bigger fan of the war on drugs, and very heavy penalties for dealers.
And physical addresses while we are at it. If you are shipping me something you need my address, but the fact that this became a mandatory part of authenticating credit card purchases is so invasive and provides practicaly no real security.

And yet you accuse me of ad homenims for pointing out your acknowledgement of not knowing of the last decade+ of networking tech and that I have a need to feel superior. Pot meet kettle buddy.

You've spent so much effort telling me what's possible or not, berating me multiple times, while acknowledging you haven't kept up with decade+ old tech.
Regarding random downvotes: Many of my comments just don't resonate with your average HN'er. I'm fine with it.
And?

There is a difference between making staggeringly unhealthy amounts of money in days, than making money slowly over decades.

Traders do next to nothing and are able to acquire this relatively quickly and not give anything of value back.

If your idea of placing your money in a pension fund and locking it up for 40 years and only then you are 60+ years old able to use it a way of giving back to society.

Then you might as well say you’ve been scammed of your time slaving away only to enjoy that money when you have little time left.

Every employee with a pension is praying for their pensions to go up continuously for decades, traders can bet both ways of the market and still end up rich.

One recession and you’ll get a lot of disillusioned employees whose pensions are worth less than they put in years ago.

First AI is a tool. Then when it can outperform its will replace. Starting with junior devs, then as output speed and quantity grow and it becomes difficult to track, it will learn to manage itself. Do it’s own code reviews and internal discussion, like the author proposed.
