I used to do this, on and off, with vim. Hey customize this, and that, and add some special key bindings and plugins. Then you go to ssh somewhere and you're totally lost. Ya, I know there are ways to manage your config for vi but it&#

and then I'll just write a script to use GitHub Copilot to write a bunch of crap during my down times and when I get back I'll just make another commit that says, "Changed my mind, refactoring...wheeeee".

I wonder if color profiles will be important to images used for AI. Right now, as far as I can tell, people generally ignore details like that but I wonder if someday people are going to say, "oh wait, we've been completely ignori

That would be running python in wasm so python (script) -> pyiodide (cpython/wasm) which is pretty heavyweight this would be prometeo -> wasm which I'd imagine would be fairly lightweight. If someone is willing to write in A

Because wasm doesn't support Python and it might be nice to be able to write WASM in a Python like language.

Have you thought of targeting WebAssembly? If you're going from Python/Prometo -> C you could always make the extra sep of Python/Prometo -> C -> WASM but I wonder if there would be an advantage of skipping the inter

People scream for lots of reasons. I could argue that being murdered is the least likely reason for someone to be screaming. Some legal systems err or the side of "innocent until proven guilty" but you're leaving the last par

I have a problem with both how absolutist and now moralistic this statement is. Granted, it doesn't say that writing is sufficient for "thinking well" it does seem to imply it. Why does it need to be one thing? Why can't

Unless someone actually witnesses a murder you want it thrown out? Someone could walk into a room with a knife, screaming is heard, "no, no please don't stab me with that knife", the person walk out of the room covered in blo

IANAL but wouldn't the argument "correlation is not causation" basically exclude all circumstantial evidence?

I'll add a twist to it. It failed in the worst possible way evidenced by the difficulty in explaining why it failed. It spread the failure out so evenly that there was no single thing that was broken or wrong but just about everything

Every time I read something like this I always think they have the causality backward which I think that anyone who has ever suffered from depression can attest to. The food doesn't make you happy, you're predisposed to finding ha

I think there's a lot of "Python's the greatest thing in the world" coming from ML/AI and it always reminds me of this. I wish I knew who said it. "People who know one language think it's the greatest in t

Much ado about nothing. Developer jobs have been able to be outsourced and work remote for a couple of decades. If it was going to go that way it would have long ago. The rest of the world might be catching up to the remote work game but so

Because it isn't work the way you see work. Is it really work if at any moment I can say to myself, "This isn't working for me. I'm outa here." and not just be able to leave but leave with zero consequences. Not the

What I'd like to know is what is the status of all those billions of dollars in crypto currency? That's quite an incentive to build a quantum computer if it would allow you to steal some of that money. And what's the legal st

Believing everything you read on the internet is true as long as you don't have contrary evidence isn't a good idea. I'm not saying he didn't, I'm saying you don't have any evidence, other than his own assertio

Yes, but too many media outlets have abused the "may" thing so badly that maybe it's just better to say, "Congress considers launching criminal investigation into Bezos testimony"

"not human level. Something with the motion planning and survival capabilities of a squirrel" I think you're underestimating how smart a squirrel is.

This is probably the last thing that the likes of Microsoft and Google are worrying about right now. I'm sure it is fun imagining being the lone hacker keeping them up at night.

Snooze. Yet another half baked idea from the W3C. Remember WebID? Probably not because it went nowhere after repeatedly ignoring major weaknesses. What did they do? Address them with well thought out solutions? No, they did exactly what the

My biggest problem with 10x is that I see it applied prescriptively not descriptively. If it's just describing some fact about someone's output then fine. If you've got the data to backup your 10x trophy then good for you but
