I mean, the IDE can totally write out the import statements for you as you type and choose resolutions for identifiers; but if you paste in a random code snippet that references ambiguous identifiers from a third-party lib, no IDE can magic

Still for the better, because each token you don’t have to type when first learning programming is a token you can’t mistype. (Though the ultimate conclusion of this line of thinking is that programming 101 courses should be taught in as co

What’s with Java devs and not including `import` lines in example code? Even here, when intending to demonstrate how dumb Java’s boilerplate is. But I notice it everywhere.

It was called At Ease ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Ease ). I’m surprised to find out it was itself an Apple product; I had always assumed it was a third-party shell, akin to Norton Desktop for Windows 3.1.

I would argue that "augmented programming" (as the article terms it) both is and isn't analogous to the other things you mentioned. "Augmented programming" can be used to refer to a fully-general-purpose tool that

Who said anything about the product's purpose? Excessive use of the term "AI" is a decision of marketing departments, and happens entirely downstream of product design. The same product could be produced five years ago or tod

Well, yeah, Apple is being reasonable now because Apple just got through a big bad PR thing with their recent failed attempt at "AI". Apple are currently trying, as much as possible, to avoid applying the term "AI" to

You're letting the hype men set the goalposts for you, then, as every ML thing has been retroactively rebranded as "AI." Remember the term "smart" as applied to any device or software mode that made ~any assumptions

That misses the "vertically integrated" part. (As does everything else right now, which was my point.) The thing you linked is just a regular Gigabyte-branded 5090 PCIe GPU card (that they produced first, for other purposes; and w

Funny enough, maybe the fusing itself (if they go a bit above-and-beyond on it) is exactly why it is a pro model. I.e. maybe Nvidia say "if we're going to fuse some random number of cores such that this is no longer a 3050, then
