Their ideavim plugin is pretty good. I didn't know at first, but it support an .ideavimrc file that allows you to set your own commands. Pretty much anything that you can do in a jetbrains product is connected to a command id that you

I haven't used claude, but I have that LLMs are great at generating code that is well defined with prior art but fail at anything a step beyond that. Building the UI for linkedin is simple. The hard part is managing the different roles

this whole argument is silly. In my time on this site, I have seen someone suggest that every language is good for shell scripting including C. Python and bash are used in the real world most often because convincing your sysadmin/infr

Ukraine is uncomfortably close. Nuclear armed combatant on one side, and proxy on the other.

Doesn't that confirm that google is breaking firefox? We can't prove deliberately without evidence, but it seems to fit Firefox is fixing youtube's bug because google won't fix a bug

Compared to other populations, the HN group will know about AI tools being released, use them, and have some vague understanding their fundamental basis. The tools are impressive but have their limitations. I think the demos are more for i

Likely you are changing your node version during that 6 months. Similar to ruby with RVM, node has NVM. I create an .nvmrc file denoting the desired node version, and it works reliably all the time.

I am pessimistic about AI. The technology is definitely useful, but I watched a video that made good points. * On benchmark style tests, LLMs are not improving. GPT-4o is equivalent to GPT-4 and both barely improve on GPT-3.5T. * AI c

I use proton's email service with a domain that I own. The client works good enough for me. It has filters, multiple addresses going to one box. There are probably some more advanced features that I don't use and proton and doesn&

I have tried to de-couple from big tech, and each time I changed something, it has been better. Kagi is much better than google search. I use proton for mail/calendar/(vpn sometimes), and no ads with the same features. I have my o

this is the way of modern public relations that can precisely measure outrage to each story by monitoring social media. If enough people/reputation backlash, rollback, otherwise push forward quietly towards maximum profits

I don't know. There were recently some documents released on how OpenAI was soliciting companies to integrate their product recommendations more deeply into the training data. This is obvious a huge way to monetize chatgpt-like product

They won't divest. The option for divestment just makes the US look less bad. They didn't ban the app. They chose to leave

Tiktok has stated that they would not divest, but rather pull out of the market. Since they are facing the option of divest or get banned, they are effectively being banned

One of the things that I will miss about physical medium is the permanence of the data. A famous movie from 2006 had a racist joke. I remember it very clearly because of an argument at the time with my friends watching it. In 2021, I bought

Seriously, a naive database sharding algorithm could be implemented in a week or so by a competent dev. A company like figma (billions in revenue) putting a small team to implementing a database sharding solution for an un-implemented use c

it seriously is. I have grown to resent advertising and mistrust sites that depend on advertising since "What is the ulterior motive here?" is a question that I have to ask myself. Zero ads. User centric features being rolled out.

If the immigration laws were enforced 100% accurately today, the US economy would falter. Undocumented workers do work in farm, janitorial, restaurant, construction, and other sectors that is irreplaceable through any other reasonable means

Unintentionally funny. The USG has a long history of using disinformation to gain an edge that it should be okay to state that as a fact without evidence. Your reply is typical for modern opinion management. Harsh black-white reply. Demandi

Just to add another perspective, I use the anki package on apt/ubuntu and yum/fedora, and both repos work for me. I ran into one small issue on fedora that was really annoying, but it was fixable. The sync from the cloud worked o

There are enough anecdotes to be more than confirmation bias Try it for yourself. Choose a product. Maybe one of the examples here. Talk about it loud with your phone in proximity. Maybe turn off adblocker and see what happens.
