This site is recommending projects to switch to a "free for non-commercial use" model (commercial users being required to pay to use the software), which is not compatible with free software as defined by the Free Software Foundation, and is likely not open source according to OSI.
To give a bit of context (context that wasn't obvious just from the abstract, at least to me): this paper makes progress on, amongst other things, P!=NP.
You get used to it :)

At first, err on the lower side, and 4dd. Over time, you'll start viewing things in chunks naturally, which probably only helps your code scanning ability, which is probably half the benefit of learning Vim. You get really good at looking at code like building blocks.

And undo is an easy one... Just type 'u'!

Like any skill or tool, it often seems not worth it before you know how to do it. But every time you learn a new skill (like you just learned undo!), it makes you more efficient for the rest of your life! How amazing is that?
I wrote down the following in the internal Slack chat on 01.06.2025, but of course, the performance of the actual effort is much more than writing it down.

Large language models (LLMs) operate in a high-dimensional token space, where tokens (words, subwords, or characters) can be viewed as discrete signals covering the multi-dimensional knowledge space. So FFT analysis methods can be applied to reduce time domain complexity to frequency domain representation with an idea to reduce computational complexity. So we can map token signals into the frequency domain. This transformation allows us to analyze token dynamics, such as their frequency of occurrence, temporal correlations, and interactions across contexts, with computational efficiency. In this approach, embeddings are treated as signals, and their relationships in sequence are captured as patterns in the frequency domain. FFT could be used to decompose token streams into dominant frequency components, revealing periodic or recurrent patterns in language usage - these patterns are repeatable across human generated knowledge and generally follow a predefined set of rules so the signals are not just white noise, they are predictable. By analyzing these frequency components, predictions of the next token can be made by emphasizing high-energy components in the frequency spectrum, reducing noise and focusing on statistically probable outcomes. Using this method we can reduce computational overhead during training and inference by enabling lightweight spectral analysis rather than heavy attention mechanisms, especially for long-context or repetitive sequences. Also using classical signal filtering techniques (LPF, HPF, band pass) could help align model behavior with human linguistic patterns, refine token embeddings, and improve efficiency in both training and inference phases.
Foreign diplomatic personnel stationed in the US sometimes have babies while in the US. These children get the same birth certificates as any other child born in the US, but they are not citizens. Ergo, a birth certificate is not proof of citizenship.

I’d be willing to bet that >99.999% of people with US birth certificates are citizens, but it most certainly is not 100%.
Well an un-hardened flash drive would probably stop working within minutes of being exposed to all those rads, but I’m just being pedantic :p

>>Part of the DARPA ethos also is that it’s lean and mean. Program managers have a ton of discretion, but they’re not lifers.

Curious what kind of people are hired? Without overarching long term leadership its hard to chart out a continuous direction.
Regulated industries have overwhelmingly boring and expensive software compared to others. They do things like banning recursion and dynamic arrays lol. Memory safety in every aspect possible just isn't worth it for most applications. And the degree of memory safety that is worth it is a lot less than Rust developers seem to think, and the degree of memory safety granted by Rust is less than they think as well.
the vim one is pretty irritating with input delay but the neovim one isn't too bad (the one that hooks into neovim)... at least it makes vs code tolerable enough for me so I don't bang my head against the wall when I have to use it
This extension was added in D at its start, and 25 years of experience with it shows that it is possibly D's best loved feature. It's a huge win.
The culture spoke to them and they didn't listen. How foolish.
I’m not convinced; I have met a lot of people who were very high on vim and spent a long time furiously typing keystrokes and planning out their changes without realizing how much time they were spending on that thinking bit.

(Personally it also competes with the working memory of changes I am trying to make, but I am willing to concede that could go away with years of practice).

Simpler abstractions like sublime-style multiple cursors have almost the same power without the complexity of programming your editor live. I wouldn’t recommend new people spend time on vim, unless you like, expect to find yourself in freshly initialized Linux boxes or developing on minimal hardware often.
Not offhand, but every list of the common security bugs shows it's the top, by a wide margin.
Visual mode is way more practical because you don't always need to edit a word, you might need to edit a few words and/or things that are not words. I always use visual mode to see clearly what I'm changing.

How far were you into building the game before you began to approach publishers? YC speaks frequently about investing in the founders, and not the idea---but then dives right into well you need to have revenue and/or users and it's a bit of a double-standard---so I'm curious what stage you were at when you started talking to publishers and what state your product was in when you finally signed a deal.
These typescript fanatics never fail to make me feel disgusted by what they've done...
Just to confirm though - when you 'just click there', you're taking your hand off the keyboard, moving your arm and hand to the mouse, moving the mouse to the position you see, hopefully clicking exactly where you want to go on the first try, then returning your arm into position and hand on the keyboard, right?

Everyone should do what works for them, but with e.g. flash it takes 3 keypresses in most cases to go to any position I can see on the screen, without taking my hands off the keyboard. I was relatively late to Vim but I would never go back, even just for the improved physical ergonomics of not having to move my arm repetitively back and forth between mouse and keyboard.

It feels a little like people that swear that they can type perfectly well with 2 fingers - I have seen some very fast 2 finger typists, but in truth they're missing out on efficiency and comfort in the long run because they don't want to face the short-term pain of learning the better technique (and it is pain).
I'm not sure I fully understand but changing a lot of code nowadays, we mostly offload the tedious part to an LSP.

Using clangd in vscode, I don't see how you'd be faster in neovim making changes by glorified search and replace? Also you're limited at "file-wide" and not project wide?
They don't see the value in it. You have to use it a while to see how much time it saves you not chasing down memory corruption bugs.
Did you forget a /s? It seems that if you can't convince a majority of programmers that your new language is good enough to learn, maybe it actually isn't as good as its proponents claim. It is likely the case that rewriting everything in a new language for marginally less bugs is a worse outcome than just dealing with the bugs.
It's very much like an echo of the old Wall Street Journal Opinion motto "Free Men and Free Markets".

I meant vim mode in IDE editors, neovim and a little bit of helix.
Looks like the link changed? I think is this now:

It is totally valid to tell people not to criticize a project offered by someone who made it for their themselves or wants to offer the value to the public but doesn't have the resources to do everything perfectly. But this is not that, and I don't see a non-profit org behind it, so it appears to be something that is being offered on a quid pro quo basis. Thus we need to figure out where the value is being extracted and if the dev are cagey about it, that rings alarm bells.
To jump around without mouse in vim I usually turn off highlight search by default, or make it a more subtle color and just search a few letters, or % or f and a letter within the line. Can still use the mouse if it is something like a brace on its own surrounded by 5 others. It may be a mode switch but most of the time when I jump somewhere I'm deleting and moving a word or replacing it with cw or C the automatically switches to input mode and overall much faster than going there, shift arrow to select the word and cut paste or typing to replace. There are shorthands like ctrl+backspace but lots of ctrl reaching for multiple things often feels like having to enter a mode over and over or something unless you have them all in mind and dont let up, or need to let up to step the cursor one character with the arrow keys.

VS vim gives you a good mix too and basically while in insert works like a regular editor when that is more natural. But you miss out on piping lines to unix commands and stuff and a common thing of searching all occurrences of an identifier and opening all the files in vim, which warns on exit if you forget to look over all of them. Also ctrl+p to complete to nearest previous occurrence is broken in it.

Overall just much less reaching around for modifiers and arrow keys or home/end but the default placement of ESC is a pain. Switching caps lock to that can help but makes it not great for muscle memory when using other machines.

Ctrl+[ is an alternate for ESC I'll use sometimes but usually only if Ctrl is in my next command. That can be a bit more ergonomic if you change capslock to ctrl instead of ESC and then less chance of messing up in other apps with an errant ESC.

Overall most of the time when I click somewhere I'm deleting/transposing/replacing and not just immediately typing something, and that is much more awkward in a vanilla editor. Maybe with a four button mouse you could have a button to click somewhere and automatically enter insert mode at the same time, without it emitting keys to do it and messing up other apps.

Overall I think vim is much better for RSI, so much stuff is home row, and especially with numpads usually being on the wrong side of the keyboard makes mouse reaching unergonomic. The only main thing keeping me on numpads is Blender, but Blender is surprisingly vim-like as well, in a good way.
You're making a lot of assumptions here.

China has seemed to play a larger role in novel viruses with zoological origins. The average flu season isn't driven by novel viruses, if they were every year would progress more similarly to CoV2.

I've never seen a study comparing the relative efficacy of culling vs. not culling chicken flocks. Unless you have sources for that, you're assuming culling is always best. One consideration there is that culling entire flocks ensures that we are never able to select breeding animals based on those with natural immunity. Maybe that is the right choice, but I don't think we have ever studied that.

Egg prices haven't yet seemed to play an impact in flock culling rates. We have murdered 166 million birds based on a recent article [1] - extremely few of those were ever tested, they just happened to be in a house with a bird either confirmed or suspected of infection. At least based on that article, culling hasn't helped contain the outbreak.

Can’t believe how many times I cock blocked myself playing this game.
I know what you mean, and I agree that innovation can and does happen without a profit motive. In the context of the paragraph, I was talking more about the cultural and decision-making environment within SpaceX and Blue; they're a lot closer to (and in many ways even freer than) the "wild west" days of old NASA, as opposed to the NASA of today, where hiring/firing/structuring/contracting are all under endless heaps of red tape that make it extremely difficult to get anything useful done. (For context, I work for a NASA contractor, initially on site at JSC within the ISS program and now remotely for the Artemis program.)
Smalltalk Environment - the dawn of IDEs - "Don't mode me in"

"Novices are not the only victims of modes. Experts often type commands used in one mode when they are in another, leading to undesired and distressing consequences. In many systems, typing the letter "D" can have meanings as diverse as "replace the selected character by D," "insert a D before the selected character," or "delete the selected character." How many times have you heard or said, "Oops, I was in the wrong mode"?"

This is clearly incorrect. MSNBC is pretty strongly left / progressive.
Modded Java is still around and some things can be kind of “modded” in Bedrock.

People still run those old mods, see GregTech New Horizons for an example.
The power of the vi-family is that this generalizes consistently. Want to replace everything from here to the next comma? 'ct,TYPE STUFF HERE' I'm not a very accurate mouser, so with a GUI editor without sufficient vi-ness, that means I need to use the mouse to drag a selection, make sure I don't also grab the tiny comma, then start typing. So annoying.

If anyone hasn’t seen Conclave I really recommend it. It seems so boring, but my girlfriend and I were fascinated the whole movie.

Beautiful and really appropriate artwork. You mentioned in another thread that the publisher connected you with an artist. Can you share, in vagaries if contractually necessary, the literal cost of this? Was it percent of revenue, fixed rate, a mix. Substantial (given you two would be the team), or more like a typical contracting affair?
In a practical sense, hasn't type theory already replaced ZFC in the foundations of math? Lean is what working mathematicians currently use to formally prove theorems, and Lean is based on type theory rather than ZFC.
Captain 'lost for words' after witnessing a super pod of more than 2k dolphins
Well, my knowledge stops at "file-wide" at least :) Thinking more now I think the most important part is knowing what your tools are capable of and how to use them to their fullest, more so than the particular environment (assuming that such capabilities exist at all).
I enjoy using neovim.

Though I'd argue most of the programming time is spent on thinking what to do, not on typing it. It's different when you write prose or transcribing something. Then typing speed matters way more.

That said, having keyboard controls for editing actions is definitely making editing experience more convenient. Same goes for the modes switching and ability to express commands for the editor like you'd do in a shell.
The CDC/FDA assumed culling was better, I’m not an expert. And the point has always been to prevent a human outbreak, not reduce egg prices.

Trump is coming in and saying culling isn’t needed, and he is finding experts that agree with his opinion to back it up. Whatever policy choice coming up, it will be one where science is abused to justify a pre-determined decision rather than using science to come up with the right decision.
I thought the main idea of vim is that touch typers who are really fast can do everything without lifting their fingers from the main row, which is a really motivating reason imo, it starts to breakdown heavily when you dont already have this skill though
The moon doesn't make a ton of sense, but Antarctica sure does. It's cold, it's dry, and if you load it up with GPUs, the latency is not a huge problem because you'd mostly be using it for training runs. And it's still on Earth, so you can connect it with an undersea cable.

Biggest issue would be power. Not sure what the geothermal situation is there, but given that they get most of their power from diesel, it's probably not great. You could build a big solar array, but then you can only use it for 1/3 of the year.

Memory safety isn't worth it as long as leaking all your users' data (and granting attackers control over their systems) doesn't cost much. As attacks get more sophisticated and software gets more important, the costs of memory unsafety go up.

> If this meeting is cancelled, we would expect the vaccine to be less effective and would see greater impact (simply because it wasn't tailored to the be the most likely effective vaccine), but due to all the variables I mentioned it could even appear that "things got better after we did this" (post hoc ergo propter hoc).

There is an alternative here - a population left to fight an outbreak through natural immunity will be stronger in the end. That's definitely not a popular opinion, and it may not be worth the cost, but it does align with large drops in death rates of past outbreaks which generally happened before a vaccine was even available.

> There is no steel man here

That's not how steel manning an argument works. The whole point is to make the most generous version of the argument, usually assuming the best intent. There is always a most generous explanation that would lead to the argument made, you just may not like it or may not think its likely.

> Or RFK could somehow be right and we see a huge magic increase in public health across the country (not seen in other countries that keep vaccination). I am not aware of very many scientists who believe this will happen

I don't know RFK's stance particularly well, but I would guess that he wouldn't expect a noticeable increase in health over a short timeline and without improving peoples' health in general. I'm pretty sure I've seen him argue for removing toxins from our food and water, reducing dependence on pharmaceuticals, etc. All of those are important factors and it isn't realistic to assume that removing only one factor would magically fix everything.
A big difficulty there is typeface detection, some of these were never digital fonts. But, even if it could detect them, you likely don't have those fonts on your computer to be able to put it back together as a digital typesetting for any but the most trivial fonts.
While WebAssembly definitely has advantages in terms of faster startup time, throughput is the same order of magnitude as equivalent JavaScript, perhaps 30% faster unless you are using WebAssembly only features like SIMD.

Of course the big advantage from using a language designed for lower level work is that you are far less likely to hit performance pitfalls. But if you write JavaScript as if it were C you tend to get very good performance.

I am sceptical that SPy will manage to beat JavaScript performance wise on average. But I'm interested to see how they do in part because of their learnings could make JavaScript in WebAssembly faster. (WebAssembly has much faster startup than JS which makes per request isolation practical if JS in WASM gets fast enough.)
I can't believe people actually use their mouse to select text.

You can do all that in VS Code with the vim extension. I'm with you on the vim keystrokes, but configuring debuggers, code completion, etc. in vim never seemed worth the effort. With VS Code and vim keybindings, it's the best of both worlds.
