I don’t really get the difference but why don’t you use macros for that? You can achieve anything with macros and you can give shortcuts to a named macros. Macros are in the Edit > Macros menu. Add a shortcut to a macro in Settings , Key

That’s correct. Their new IDE, Fleet , pivoted to an AI first editor , but not sure if they have already released something.

Have you actually tried other languages?? I used Dart, Common Lisp, Java, Kotlin, Groovy and more and LLM seems to be as good at those as on Python.

That’s not how it works. Comptime Zig is Zig, not an embedded scripting language. You can’t run comptime code separately, it only runs as part of compiling a Zig program. Think of it like Rust macros.

The funny thing is that it would make more sense (going by our popular impression of what dinosaurs looked like) if dinosaurs were in the same lineage as crocodiles, not birds.

But that's so easy to fix! I can't believe people complain about stuff like this. The person making the PR could've told the AI "hey you can easily reduce the amount of code by using this technique" or whatever... o

Like we had done for the 10 years prior? Don’t think so. BTW the ai code is as readable as the human’s. Never had to call out people on the AI code being unreadable.

I am convinced human reviews are overhyped in the industry. We've done it in my company since we started it, and bugs keep happening. People are just terrible at spotting them in the middle of 100 lines of correct code. Machines, OTOH,

The traditional car makers have had a hundred years to learn how to make profit by selling cars. What evidence is there that Tesla knows something they don't and has profit margins higher than they have??

Thank you for correcting that awfully incorrect factoid.

Wouldn’t the seq process keep writing to output until the output buffer of the pipe got full and then the next write would block and seq would just pause waiting for the write call to unblock? Or my understanding of piping is incorrect?

I don't get it either, but it seems to me a bit similar to how the US, if you look at market value of car companies, has utterly crushed Europe and Japan (with China surging ahead of those and maybe threatening the US soon), which to m

> So the only way the first to have ASI will be able to stop everyone else from having it soon after is if they attempt to use the ASI to proactively murder everyone else. Sounds quite plausible to me. Maybe they don't need to murde

Looking at code looking for errors is a hard thing to do well for a large amount of code. A better approach is to ensure tests cover all the important cases and many edge cases. Looking at the code may still be a good idea but mostly to che

I was trying to follow similar rules, until one day I had to solve a hard mathematical problem. Claude is a phd level mathematician, I am not. I, however, know exactly the properties of the desired solution and how to test it’s correct. So

Do you think banks are using attestation gratuitously? It helps prevent a lot of fraud. You are opposing something that saves people’s savings every day just because you think it takes “freedom” away from a few hobbyists. Do you even have a

As someone who wanted to improve users security, that’s exactly why I find this thread fanatical opposition to attestation baffling. Nearly everyone uses a device that supports hardware attestation. It’s the best available tool to protect u

I’ve seen Claude address the consequences of a change in a way that honestly was more comprehensive than I would be capable of. But I still agree that sometimes it misses the mark. I think that may be due to “adaptive effort “ which Claude

In zig the solution is to use an arena allocator. That’s about as easy as it gets. Maybe Rust also allows doing that, I don’t know.

That’s quite different. Vibe coded apps are not normally even meant to be secure, it’s meant to be used by the creator only. Bad app security is not the same as a vulnerability. A vulnerability would be a library providing some functionalit
