> he's helping Argentina's economy, and that cannot be further from the truth sadly. If he made such a blunder in finance which supposedly is one of his specialties just imagine how incompetent he and most of the government right now is on other matters.

Oh, could he be a lot further from the truth! He could have done at least a couple of orders of magnitude worst with inflation (it was 300% and rising in its peak last year, expected to be 25% this year: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentina-economy-see...). In the same link, economy is growing/expected at 4.5% this year. The government is at a surplus. The interest rate the state pays on its debt is 29% which looks incredibly high until you see this data: https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/interest-rate . Yes, that was a 126% interest when Milei got there. In fact, it is a miracle that Argentina didn't default this year, as they had to do the biggest repay in three years (https://buenosairesherald.com/economics/argentina-pays-us4-3...).

> If he made such a blunder in finance which supposedly is one of his specialties just imagine how incompetent he and most of the government right now is on other matters.

This is the fallacy of composition: "is he was wrong about this then it is wrong about absolutely everything he does", which can't be further from the truth, and is behind some people falling in traps like the sunk cost fallacy ("I can't be wrong about this and cut loses, or people will think I'm wrong about everything"), or insufferable people that double down on their mistakes or enter a train of lies, and would do almost anything except accept they were wrong.

And? Most consumer routers also implement a stateful firewall with deny-by-default inbound policy. My point is that NAT isn't a security feature, and that firewalls in edge network equipment is table stakes these days.

His insights come from having eyes and ears, and knowing men and women in relationships. Anecdote for anecdote, your reply applies to you as well. For my own datapoint, I'm a youngish man who wasn't interested in anything long-term until I met my SO.

I've seen the lack of awareness/maturity in both my dates (women), friends (male & female), and in what people say about their exes in my circle. Of course, I'm excluding cheaters, people who refuse their meds, and downright abusers in both cases. Besides people being self-centered, the common issue is learned helplessness, which manifests differently depending on gender.

Ignoring straight harassment, even "positive" attention is a problem. Some women have had at least one person being "extra helpful" their whole lives, and even when inevitably some of the helpful guys are shocked that doing those favors didn't result in a blowie, it reinforces the idea "fuck them, if men are like that at least they should do my taxes." I've had to metaphorically use a spray bottle on friends who were in princess mode and "forgot how to fold their own tent" when camping or had their SO acting as basically a manservant. The male (and much more common IMO) counterpart is the momma's boy. Doesn't do anything about the chores and common spaces and must be reminded like a child by their SO to do the basics. Then they fuck it up on purpose so others must take up the slack.

The focus on contribution I see is weird; in this economy, stay-at-home anything is becoming rare. The expectation I see in my circle is that home duties are 50-50, with both earning. Did you date/marry the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Is this just fixating on internet ragebait?

Automating IDEs: Who's Working on It?
With modern screen automation capabilities, is anyone working on automating IDEs like Cursor/VS Code ?

Key requirements:

1. UI agents with a knowledge base – Integrating IDE documentation, dev docs, and contextual intelligence.
2. Expert UI traces for optimal actions – Capturing and replaying efficient workflows.

Would love to hear thoughts, projects, or ideas on making IDEs more autonomous.

The US government has a report on how the current US government was put in power by a foreign adversary, who is also heavily invested in polarizing US society as part of their strategy.

> Unlike rgb() or hex (#ca0000), OKLCH is human readable. You can quickly and easily know which color an OKLCH value represents simply by looking at the numbers. OKLCH works like HSL, but it encodes lightness better than HSL.

I don't know about you, but I am much better at decoding separate RGB values (as in, including hex) than I am at decoding a single chroma value. What am I supposed to do with a chroma value, try to imagine a chart to place it on? Memorize the values of each color on the spectrum? I'm not saying it's unreasonable to expect somebody to be able to learn this, but in my opinion it's not very fair to say LCH is somehow automatically more readable than RGB.
It is clearly not what their charts are based on though.

One thing I didn't see mentioned was that the resolution of text mode was typically higher than that of graphics mode. This is possible because it uses less RAM on the video card.

80x25 uses 720x400, whereas the default graphics modes were 640x480@4bpp or 320x200@8bpp.

Nothing wrong with text mode. Also, see some amazing uses of text mode in Scream Tracker 3 [1] or text-mode demos or intros, such as Yo! by The Future Crew [2].

Rest in peace. His work was monumental.

Level design is something that is often there as a way to simply service the gameplay. You make sections that enable to game loop. Half Life 1 is designed this way: set pieces for aliens and marines to have interesting encounters.

Viktor designed levels that felt part of worlds that are lived in. City 17, where Half Life 2 takes place, feels like a believable dystopia. With evil guards and propaganda and a looming techno tower of Sauron.

Dishonored pushed this even further, with levels that not only are equally well presented, but can be traversed in so many creative ways. It’s a sandbox for the mind.

Rip, your work was brilliant and inspiring.
Depending on jurisdictions, it may not be about security, but just a regulatory requirement. I need to confirm any transaction made in the bank's app on my phone, so I feel my card is sufficiently secure in that sense. However, businesses here are required to collect my billing information for transactions that do not happen in person and unfortunately address is defined to be a part of that.

That said, I fully agree with you. I see little reason that buying, for example, a video game online needs my billing information more than walking into a store and buying it there, possibly with the same card.

This just reminded me of a quote: "If cash were invented today, it would be illegal." I forget who (first) said it, but it rings true.

This comparison of coding assistants to Stack Overflow comes up a lot so I feel like it needs to be addressed.

It is SIMILAR - it is not the same. There's a minimal element of interaction by virtue of the fact that SO code is usually not completely bespoke for the developer's requirements. They'll need to do things like change variable names, re-arrange some parts of it, etc.

The junior dev using an integrated LLMs (like with Cursor) has to do NONE of this. They simply hit the Tab key to accept and move on with their day.

There's a far larger danger of induced passivity.
Unfortunately, just like with parser generators and more powerful parsing algorithms (in particular bottom-up LR and such), the practice proved very different than the theory. Linear-scan and variants of it have become the norm for register allocation.

But then he goes around saying he actually found massive evidence of fraud. It’s not like he tweets: “Guys, my admittedly cursory examination gave me a feeling this old system which I’ve never seen before could be prone to fraud.”

What proof does he (or you) even have that a COBOL system is particularly prone to fraud? The world’s most important banks still run many things on COBOL. Are you saying that bank mainframes are full of IT fraud?
You used to be able to ride the train without a passport, back in 2007 while I was waiting for my work visa to be out into my passport, I took the train from Beijing to Shanghai and no one checked. This was before they added security, but I think you only need your passport to get your tickets (circa 2016, things could be really different now).

If you live in a Chinese city, you technically need to carry your passport around all the time, although I never did. But I wasn’t going to tourist destinations either. I’ve never been to SZ before (just GZ A couple of times), but southern cities are generally more lax than northern cities so if it feels like you need to show a lot there it would be more stressful in Beijing.

I’m not a doctor but perhaps try running with a smart watch that shows you your heart rate and put in an amount of effort that keeps your heart rate at about 60-70% of max. For now that may be a brisk walking pace not even a jog. As you get fitter your heart rate should come down for the equivalent speed. I also used to go for runs and hit max within a few minutes and stay there for the whole run but ultimately I think I was just pushing too hard.

However the output of llvm-mos on godbolt is garbage
This weekend I tried out Cursor since I stopped paying for ChatGPT, Claude etc several months ago and wanted to see whether I should restart my subscription or to try them via a code editor.

It was honestly frightening how quickly I finished a side project this weekend, one that I had previously been struggling with on and off for a few weeks now. The scary part was that the user experience of prompting for feature requests or bugs and then seeing the code changed and the app be hot reloaded (I use Flutter which has this functionality) was so seamless that it didn't feel like a Copilot, it felt like an Autopilot. I literally felt myself losing brain cells as I could, yes, ostensibly review the code between every single prompt and change cycle, but realistically I clicked apply and checked out the UI.

However, all good things must come to an end, it seems, as I burned through all 150 credits of the free trial, but more importantly, the problem of hallucinations is still ever-present and oftentimes I'd ask it to fix an issue and it'd change some other part of the codebase in subtle ways, such that I'd notice bugs popping up that had been fixed in previous iterations, from minor to truly application-breaking. The issue now was that since I didn't write the code, it took me quite a bit longer to even understand what had been written; granted, it was less total time than if I had written everything from scratch, and it could be argued that reading it is no different than reading a coworker's (or one's own older) code, and I still had an LLM to guide me through it (as Cursor's chat is unlimited while their composer feature, the AI prompt and apply loop, is not), but I understand the author's point much better now.

While others in this thread and elsewhere might say it is no different than reading Stack Overflow or books of yore, the automaticity of AI and the human together feels fundamentally different than what came before. Truly, I felt much more like a product manager, citing feature requests and bugs, than I ever did as an actual developer during this loop, only this time our knowledge and experience will be so eroded that we won't be able to fix novel problems in the future and will rely on our learned helplessness in asking the AI to fix it, as I had increasingly felt as the easier this loop got.

From what I've seen and read, the thing preventing you being traced by someone following the fibre is simply huge numbers of drones literally flying into enemy soldiers and detonating.

It is terrifying viewing the videos as people try and (unsuccessfully) dodge the drones, or are accidentally shot by their own comrades who are trying to (unsuccessfully) shoot down the drone, or are run-over by their own side's tanks/APCs who are panicking and trying to (unsuccessfully) outrun a drone, or are blown up trying to (unsuccessfully) take cover in a trench/dugout/building/APC/tank and a drone literally just flies in through the door/window/hatch and detonates (perhaps followed by another two or three for good measure)

Genuinely sounds absolutely terrifying, more so than any other horror stories of e.g. WW1 & 2.

This article seems to be mostly about the slowdown in globalization since 2008, driven by economic uncertainty and advancements in automation reshaping global value chains. It makes sense that reshoring is becoming more viable for industries with higher levels of automation and that control and risk reduction are taking precedence over cost savings. I suppose a really good model can show greater control and risk reduction represent more value than the rewards of direct cost savings.

I imagine this trend will only accelerate with the renewed focus on tariffs initiated in the United States, which seem to be rippling across the globe. Tariffs not only increase costs but also encourage nations and companies to rethink dependencies on international supply chains. I'm no economist, but my take away is that the tariff wars, combined with the rise of automation, might just be catalyzing a structural shift toward more localized production on a global scale. That wouldn’t necessarily be so bad.
Maybe it forces the people who're left to prioritize which civil services to keep.
