When used that way they also regularly get into loops where they lose track of what they were supposed to do. The last time I set Cursor on something without watching it very very closely it spun for a while fixing tests and when it finally

We're talking about towns of 10k. Traffic in these towns is pretty sparse and easily navigable as a pedestrian.

Heat is mentioned in passing with literally no attempt at quantifying the cost: > as far as heat goes, well, one could either pay a little extra in electric for that — or they could have the Amish deliver their scrap wood from their sawm

I didn't mean it to be haranguing, but OP was giving what amounted to legal advice that was actually wrong and dangerous. I do think that needs to be called out and clarified—not as a personal attack on OP but just as a matter of safet

This is Microsoft catching up to what JetBrains has had all along (in their paid products). There's DataGrip but I was also using all these features (minus the AI stuff) in IntelliJ Ultimate and PyCharm 5+ years ago. The main differenc

Here are the top articles for the month of May 2023 on HN with "agent" in the title [0]. Looks like early days for the term but with a few large hits (like the HuggingFace announcement), which suggests OP was surprisingly precise

It also costs 4x the entire Framework Desktop for just the card. If you're doing something professional that's probably worth it, but it's not a clear winner in the enthusiast space.

Nit: TIOBE measures search results, not searches, specifically results for "Kotlin programming". But you're correct that it's a terrible metric for many reasons. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/pro

Does Nvidia have integrated memory options that allow you to get up to 64GB+ of VRAM without stringing together a bunch of 4090s? For local LLMs Apple Silicon has really shown the value of shared memory, even if that comes at the cost of ra

You're not getting it: this is already happening everywhere . There is no private data on public Discord servers. Never has been. All these researchers have done is admit to doing what many less well-meaning people and organizations a

Note that they started saying that recently after their earlier projections didn't pan out. The "uneven process without a clear finish line" angle was Altman recently trying to reset expectations, which means it doesn't

The reason why Apple has failed to integrate AI successfully into the iPhone isn't because we need an AI-first device, it's because AI is still universally being strategized as a solution in search of a problem. An AI-first device

This is a bet that's as insane as the Apple car. They're going to try to get people to buy a specialized device from a company that isn't just a software company but really a B2B API company —the only successful consumer-fac

Eh, even that is too strong. Discord already recorded the conversations and makes them publicly available to anyone who joins the server at any point in the future. Anyone who thought they were having an ephemeral conversation that wouldn&#

Creating the database got attention in a way that just pointing it out wouldn't have. You point it out and people shrug and say "sure, that's totally unsurprising". You produce more than 100 GB of data and you have peopl

They're not going through all of my messages. I don't use public Discord channels for anything that I wouldn't want the public to see. Mostly I think it's weird how many people on here seem to have been under the illusio

On the contrary, I think that what these researchers did was the only ethical thing to do once they discovered that this was possible. There's no way that this hasn't been done dozens of times before by intelligence agencies, hack

These researchers are just using the tools that Discord made available to archive information that was already public. If anyone is to blame for users believing that their messages were private or ephemeral it's Discord, not the resear

These researchers are making public scraping that was already happening in private. Do you really think they were the first ones to realize that public Discord servers were public? On the contrary, kudos to these researchers for burstin

The pace of things does not ensure that whatever you say remains buried. Discord has a search feature that isn't great but does work. If you want to ensure that what you say is ephemeral you need to use a chat app that has that as a fe

That sounds like an enormous flaw in Discord's permission model, not something that should be patched over with "shame" on researchers for archiving data that Discord made public. The fact remains that if you post something i

Fair enough, I guess I haven't looked in the last few years. The last time that I did a search for .NET there were about five different names that were available and Mono still turned up as the runtime of choice for cross platform (eve

I read the article when it hit HN months ago but I don't agree that function coloring doesn't apply. What you're describing is that Rust makes coloring less painful, not that functions aren't colored. JavaScript itself h

I'm not talking about JS. I had Rust in mind. Also, promises already color functions just like callbacks do. Async/await just changes the syntax by which that coloring is expressed. The real problem people have with async is that

It was always going to be too risky for a subset of users, from the moment they announced it. That would not have stopped a project that was not VC funded—a smaller project with less at stake could easily have stuck to their guns and just a

To be clear, I like async. I just don't think "you don't have to use it if you don't like it" is a good argument in favor of it because it's obviously not true.
