Completely agree, I've tried a full vim migration before and it's been a futile exercise. JetBrains with the vim plugin does it for me.

It’s like two dudes developing the solution and more importantly, charging you for it. If you don’t see the radical difference in incentive structures, then I don’t know what to tell you.

LLMs and GenAI are already useful at scale but the current hype that they will lead to infinitely generalizable models, myriad groundbreaking applications in all fields and industries, or even AGI could be overblown - let's at least ad

I was listening to the Chris Lattner interview by Lex Fridman the other day, very interesting stuff. I use Python for application programming, scripting and basic ML, so I think many of the Mojo features are not for me... On the other hand,

Since this alludes to my comment, as I was the one who said up the tree that that r/antiwork may very well have foreign interests working against the US, I'll say that my account is not anonymous, I'm not American, and I cert

Maybe add a little bit of foreign propaganda and psyops to the mix, too.

I don’t have trouble believing that working conditions in the US are sometimes dire, but I also suspect that r/antiwork and other associated subreddits are heavily influenced by foreign actors. I mean, why wouldn’t they?

I’m assuming you’ve benefitted to some extent from GDPR making it harder for companies to laugh their way to the bank with your data, even if you don’t live in the EU. And to be clear, I pretty much agree with your sentiment; the EU is ove

My first mind-blowing moment in BotW was peeking down from from the top of a hill and seeing a deep valley with a river to the east and a ridge with a forest to the west. They blended gorgeously into a single landscape but I understood that

My experiences have been similar. Very happy with the talent and confident that I could get good people there at any time. At the same time, I'm quite ambivalent about their UX (the invoice issue you mention is really bad) and the fees

I’ve seen many of the very best AI scientists (Hinton, Hasabis, Lecun, etc) say that we need philosophers and ethicists deeply involved on this topic urgently. I think a guy like Lanier, who knows CS fundamentals but has been talking about

One question that pops to mind with AI applied to sales and marketing is: In a world already flooded by generic (albeit human-produced) what will happen when we crank that to 11 (billion) and have LLMs produce uninspired marketing copy and

I'll concede the quote is well formulated, but the point is hardly original... It took me five seconds to find a Ionesco quote that says something very similar: “It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” A high school st

I worked at Nintendo as a Product Manager from 2010 to 2014. I loved my time there to bits - the people, the culture, the products, and the business were great. They make the only games I still play occasionally. I frequently get asked: &qu

What proof is there that companies built on dynamic typed languages struggle with server costs, payroll, or development velocity, though? Looking from the outside, all I can say is that both Github and especially Stripe have continued to ch
