Interesting thanks I'll give some of these a try. I know at least some of my slowness is crowdstrike, especially since I can A/B test non-Emacs operations with some coworkers with older machines that don't have the bad config

magit is brutal when EDR is involved.

I notice it on macOS, which I use for work. I use Linux personally but no EDR there :) There are just so many little operations that cause stuttering on macOS with an unfortunately over-eager crowdstrike configuration. Magit is the worst o

You know what makes Emacs feel slow? Corporate EDR BS. I thought Emacs was terrible to use until I realized it was extremely fast on my home computer. All the pauses that EDR does combined with Emacs mostly single threadedness is a bummer.

Thanks! Glad at least someone found it useful :)

I recently switched from full IDE to Emacs (wrote up about the things I learned at https://github.com/KallDrexx/emacs-zero-to-ide-journey/blob/... ) Typescript is a perfect example of why Emacs shouldn't

I am spending a lot of time trying to migrate from decades of JetBrains IDEs to Emacs. It's not trivial though and it's a good thing I am willing to tinker and explore. I got a decent Neovim development setup going in a few days

FWIW I'm using Yosis for my Ice40 Lattice FPGA purely because their Linux support is bad. Getting a free hobby license requires emailing them with MAC addresses (which means I have to do that for my desktop, laptop, and again for any f

Yeah and that's totally fair! We are all motivated by different things and being extrinsically motivated isn't a bad thing at all. But being more interested in the problems rather than the solutions (and not wanting to "produ

I have done a lot of introspection on this and realized that I'm very much driven by intrinsic rewards moreso than extrinsic. I got into coding over a decade before it was my career because of the exploration, learning, and puzzle&#x2F

Afaict the company doesn't own any of what was written by an LLM. In theory that means all the companies are opening themselves up to code being reused by third party and a lack of legal protection. In reality I fear it's going to

When you write code by hand, you are the author. As part of your contract with your employer you grant copyright and authorship to your employer by default (as stated in the contract). The LLM is not employed by you or your employer, becaus

by KallDrexx 5mo ago
This isn't what the copyright means. The employees and contractors are the authors, and because of the contract they sign they assign copyright to the corporation. Corporations, as a collection of humans are allowed to have authorship.

by KallDrexx 5mo ago
I don't think case law totally supports the idea that working on a line by line basis means you have "no problem claiming copyright". There problem is the LLM is still making assumptions on that line of code and thus it'

The problem I have with this analysis is it's missing the multi-dimensional aspect of "is this profitable". It's fair to say that if all these operators are competing for tokens, that the OpenRouter token operator (not s

Which actual FPGA is this running on? I've been extremely curious on this space and would love to know what it took to actually get this to run.

Yeah I don't disagree that selling components is going to be hard business in the age of AI. Just mostly pointing out that it was a good business previously.

Telerik, DevExpress, and a lot of other companies have made profitable businesses that have lasted well over a decade on that business premise. Selling solid and easy to integrate pre-made components has been a pretty good business for a w

FWIW I only mentioned staff engineers because the survey found staff+ engineers reported the highest time savings. The survey itself had time savings averages for junior (3.9), Mid level (4.3), Senior (4.1) and Staff (4.4).

The latest survey is here apparently: https://getdx.com/report/ai-assisted-engineering-q4-impact-r... . No idea if signing up gives the full survey for free. We get it through our company paying for DX's services
