I don't know, this seems reasonable. I already know how to select, copy, and manipulate text in my $EDITOR. Why would a terminal multiplexer try to implement all of that rather than just let me open the terminal in my $EDITOR?

All utopias are fictional. Arguably that is definitive of the term as coined by Thomas More.

Isn't this still what Donald Trump does?

Huh? It's a waitlist. The whole point of a waitlist is that not everyone is gonna sign up for it. It creates a sense of exclusivity by signing up and doing so manually.

Disagree all you like, but the UX here makes perfect sense for what this is.

It looks cool, but I gotta say if I were you I'd have just played Legos with my 9-year old. Kids have their whole lives ahead of them to waste time a computer.

Can someone tell me what the appeal of games like this is? If I wanted to play with Legos I could already do that in the real world, with my real friends.

> And it's not just me; that is most people's experience with LLMs.

Uh... bold claim. What's your evidence?

Agreed. Very edgelord-y right off the bat. Couldn't finish it.

> Because, yes, we love to say AI is the biggest revolution since the Industrial Revolution, and that we’re going through a transformation unlike anything we’ve seen before. But that overlooks the farmers who watched the tractor roll in, or the farrier who watched the car arrive.

How does that overlook the farmers? They're alluded to right there in the prior sentence. I don't get this.

In truth I think it was just the use of the definite article that got me. This is a notebook that runs code, not the notebook that runs code. I just think this is cool and it could be better differentiated.

Yes, exactly. I'm sharing with this creator what my initial knee-jerk reaction was, admittedly exaggerating a bit. In case he'd like to avoid other people having a similar reaction. (And indeed, he thanked me for my feedback.)

It seems like you think that pointing out that I'm sharing my attitude is some sort of gotcha, but I'm confused. Sharing one's attitude is the whole point of posting an internet comment, isn't it?

This is all valid, but I'd suggest rethinking the slogan "The notebook that runs code" at the top of the README. I much prefer .md too and haven't used notebooks regularly in years, but nevertheless I scoffed when I read that (I thought: hasn't this guy heard of Jupyter?). I believe you'd be better off not calling this a "notebook" at all since that terms tends to describe something slightly different than what you have here.

I guess I just don't know what you mean by "everything."

Eliot*

Kindred spirits or these are just about the top 3 most often recommended books on Reddit and similar platforms. Nothing wrong with that.

Maybe I'm dumb that that still doesn't make it clear to me

Consider that many people do things that they don't need to do!

Surely that is obvious

There are a lot of emerging tools like this for which we will need a name. A similar one I randomly came across (https://github.com/Maksim-Burtsev/merl) calls itself a "Code Navigator."

Along similar lines, I also don't know what we're calling tools like T3 or Superset. They're basically harnesses for harnesses.

> Get 10x more out of...

So you're saying it goes up to 11x?

I'm a little tired of this comparison and this point. Its fine if you like Brave New World more than 1984. But does this need to be mentioned every time Orwell is mentioned? Orwell wrote a lot more than 1984 and Animal Farm.

I mean, this article doesn't mention 1984 at all.

Or economics papers for the kiddie version

Not to mention the huge posthumous bump that Rorty got for being labeled "The Philosopher who predicted Trump." There was even a new collection of his essays out in 2022 [0].

> MacIntyre romanticizes ancient communities and traditions, but ignores the fact that plenty of those upheld horrifying practices

What makes you think that? A huge part of After Virtue (basically the whole part, after the initial diagnosis of where we are now and how we got here) is about how to construct and understand communities that might provide a shared idea of human good without simply going back to an Athenian idea of what that looks like. In fact if I were to summarize the book in a nutshell I would argue its an attempt to rehabilitate Aristotelian ethics without simply accepting Aristotle's own moral percepts.

Does the article he links to towards the end of the article address your concerns?

> Without complex input spaces, there's no explosion of edge cases, which minimizes the actual benefit of PBT. The real benefits come when you have complex input spaces. Unfortunately, you need to be good at PBT to write complex input strategies. I wrote a bit about it here...

Not that you're asking, but https://www.littlewargame.com/ is a good WC1/WC2 clone with a lot of good QoL features included.

I'm aware, but you said Pylance, which to my knowledge is just the VS Code extension.

I'm satisfied with Mypy but curious to someday try other type checkers. Pyright is on the list.

I'm afraid you lost me.

Thanks for clarifying that compilers don't have free will. I was being facetious, sorry.
