I lived in a house where one of my housemates was also into couchsurfing and for a few month in summer and early autumn 2008, we were very active hosts. One weekend while there was a CS event on in my city, we hosted 12 people at once. In

I remember the early days of Skype and Google talk, calling random strangers and… actually having a conversation with them. I remember they were always confused and surprised to get a random call from a stranger, but were almost always happ

True. But someone at the top will benefit. Either it’s the companies that can produce more of something that the end user can’t easily replicate themselves for whatever reason, or at least the LLM providers. What I mean is, it will create v

Never going to happen. More efficiency and automation won’t lead to more free time and money for the masses, it will lead to fewer people employed, and those that are will be working the same hours for the same money but outputting more. On

> it has become evident that C/C++ is gradually becoming a sunset language, nearing its twilight. Its successor, Rust C and C++ will outlast us all and there are many other languages vying to be the successor, not just Rust.

In what way? I e been using it on my 1440p for over a year and it looks fine. Am I missing something?

Me too. Professional code isn’t the right place to insert your personality or sense of humour.

On top of that, he only ran the script that NPM themselves provided him. Yes, the micro-package situation was absurd, but Azer Koçulu did nothing wrong. NPM did by forcibly taking his package, and then by providing him with scripts that wer

Hmm, perhaps not. I’ll have to experiment more.

It does it even if I wait for it to finish, but don't accept. Eg: Starting code: a quick brown fox prompt 1: "Capitalize the words" AI: A Quick Brown Fox I don't accept or reject, but change it to "A Quick Red Fox&q

I do notice though that if I edit what it wrote before accepting it, and then it sees it (either because I didn’t wait for it to finish or because I send it another message), it will overwrite my changes with what it had before my changes e

Funny you say that -- my month renews in a few days and in that time I used ~350 messages. But yesterday I went through 200 messages with burn mode. So, yeah, I get it now! It very much depends on what I'm doing. Normally, I give it th

Yeah, I’m impressed with it too. Sure there are things that can still be improved, especially the tab completion, but I’m very happy with how well agent mode works over all! As an aside: $11 for an hour of Claude 4 seems expensive? I’ve bee

Yeah, it took me a few weeks to wean off cursor but I’m now happily using Zed exclusively. Cursors tab predictions are still a bit better and snappier but I feel like Zed is a better editor experience over all and I don’t rely on AI anyway.

by dkersten 1y ago
I stopped using Cursor once Zed released their agent mode. Cursor consistently leaks memory for me even with all extensions removed, Zed is much lighter weight and in my personal opinion just a better editor. Also, Trae being $10 for more r

Obviously you run MCP Defender on traffic sent to MCP Defender to protect MCP Defender from prompt injection.

by dkersten 1y ago
Huh? I'm a bit confused by your comment: 1. Zed has been working great for me for ~1.5 years while I ignored its AI features (I only started using Zed's AI features in the past 2 weeks). Vim keybindings are better IMHO than every

You can set up tasks to run cmake for you: https://zed.dev/docs/tasks Personally, I just use the terminal for my build tools and Zed talks to clangd just fine for autocomplete etc.

Been using Zed as my daily driver (without AI) since sometime in late 2023 when I decided I wanted to ditch vscode for mention leaner and faster. Love it. I switched to cursor earlier this year to try out LLM assisted development and realis

It’s both. Upbringing, background, mindset, social safety nets (eg knowing that if you fail, you’ll still be fine) — these things are huge and make a huge difference. But 300k then is about 650k today, and just the time this would buy me al

But the reality is that all things aren’t equal and you can’t fix all of those things, not in a way that is practical. You’d have to run everything serially (or at least in a way you can guarantee identical order) and likely emulated so you

People said similar things about smart contracts, yet here we are, with them being rather niche. I do agree that once the Alexa's and Siri's are LLM powered with MCP (or similar) support, these kinds of use cases will become more

Since writing this message 4 days ago, I've spent the last 2 days using Zed's beta agent mode and it doesn't swap. So whatever Cursor/vscode are doing, it eats my RAM.

I strongly believe it also applies to the AI itself. If the AI wrote the code to the top of its ability, it doesn’t have the capability to debug said code, because its ability to detect and correct issues has already been factored in. You e

Hmm. I double checked and I have privacy mode enabled, so I don't think that's the root cause. I also removed all but the bare essential extensions (only the theme I'm using and the core language support extensions for typesc
