doesn't it seem like the biggest knowledge and traffic theft in the history of the internet? when other sites giving you information from other sources it is illegal, but when it goes through this prediction machine, it is sort of OK?

it smells funny

you described the spotify revenue model, AFAIK deezer does _user to artists_. based on an article I've read 2 years ago.

for some reason I remember him being related to YUI, but I learned JS from Douglas Crockford, one of the best lectures from the old days of JS.
maybe submitters should pay a dollar to submit bugs which they will get a refund for when bug is confirmed?

even if not AI, there are probably many un skilled developers which submit bogus bug reports, even un knowingly.

meh,just a fancy image generator, the pigeon hadron collider does not even have enough pigeons in it.
Re:Zed: The Fastest AI Code Editor on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @07:39PM (#43921584)
maybe you right, but it was weird that everything else was working perfect. rendering engines, games, other graphic things...

that is why I commented, since was disappointed a bit

Re:Zed: The Fastest AI Code Editor on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @09:22AM (#43915344)
I'm not sure, it might have changed since, but my personal experience was different.

Tried using zed on Linux (pop os, Nvidia) several months ago, was terribly slow, ~1s to open right click context window.

I've spent some time debugging this, and turns out that my GPU drivers are not the best with my current pop os release, but I still don't understand how it might take so long and how GPU is related to right clicking.

Switched back to emacs, love every second. :)

I'm not sure if title referring to actual development speed or the editor performance.

p.s. I play top games on Linux, all is fine with my GPU & drivers.

a bad joke is in no way as peculiar as this.

There is a post which was flagged twice that was submitted by another user.

That is the reason I actually found the post and was amazed it was flagged so soon, when I got back to HN post after reading it. (15 minutes).

the post does not discuss politics but a certain member of the new team and some of his past, and maybe future.

re 1: why would somebody so respected in the cybersec community go after politics all of a sudden and not simply do that from curiosity? also, why would there be only one of those posts? I would expect more in this case.

I am asking simply to understand, I am not from the U.S and really am not involved in politics.

edit: question to pt. 1 in parent

For some reason the other submission is being flagged, but I think it is important for others to see.
Re:A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @06:25AM (#42709731)
I have read the article, and saw the link, I simply thought it is so simple to actually add an example since the post itself is a web page.
Re:A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements on Tuesday January 14, 2025 @04:32PM (#42704184)
Is it weird that I expected the post to actually have running examples?
Re:I Automated My Job Application Process on Sunday December 29, 2024 @12:33AM (#42537802)
the only thing worth using LLMs here for is the cover letter.

maybe I'm wrong but turning HTML into structured data example by using an LLM is bug prone and lazy.

the real challenge parts are pretty basic as well..

don't get me wrong I am not judging automation, but using LLMs for these trivial tasks is IMO a waste of time as a software engineer.

Re:Lessons Learned from Scaling to Multi-Terabyte Datasets on Thursday June 20, 2024 @06:35AM (#40737086)
not sure, but maybe it's possible only to update the model in a specific time? are there other uses to the data apart from learning and validation?
minimalism and due diligince, I hope.

my 2 cents are that it is not theoretically possible to handle and actually fight the problem of _too many dependencies_. we all need them to move quickly.

But, there must be a balance.

remark: just look at the FE framework / packages world (eco system), this is too much, and most are not needed.

Wow, you beat me to it. I have been building my own version of the same application for myself.

Great job, I will be happy to contribute as well.

tl;dr: we need an open source browser & infra, and there are candidates.

How c[u]ome, with all the power of open source we still do not have an open browser with an open sync infra?.

emotions aside, this is dumb (some words cannot be used). Why can't we, as a group, stop complaining, and actually devote real time hours into developing the serenity browser to work as chrome / brave / firefox?

Why can't we, use the knowledge we have gained from IPFS and actually work on a distributed no server sync platform?

Why can't I, simply stop using the mentioned above software and devote myself into something more hopefully reliable?

I think it is hard to lose your daddy and leave home, but it's something we all have to do in order to actually grow.

Re:microsoft/promptbase: All things prompt engineering on Monday December 18, 2023 @07:52PM (#38690446)
I think I have been misread, the whole point of my comments is to realize that anyone can staple engineering and make you think this is something someone actually thought and went through, which is usually, not.
Re:microsoft/promptbase: All things prompt engineering on Monday December 18, 2023 @07:50PM (#38690431)
software engineers work with the chips, which have an API and from my POV it is a property.

that is a portion of what I have been referring to.

Re:microsoft/promptbase: All things prompt engineering on Monday December 18, 2023 @07:48PM (#38690415)
not a science. joking, friend.

I am not really sure how to answer this question, seems like a bunch of skills.

Re:microsoft/promptbase: All things prompt engineering on Sunday December 17, 2023 @04:10PM (#38676461)
How is this called engineering where there is no material with properties that can be worked with?
nothing about them...

if I as a user want something to _correct_ me, well and good. but the browser should never make those assumptions for me. it might actually work well with ISPs, but not browsers.

what about websites which actually make a _pun_ on words and are trying to be funny? switching one letter / word, etc...

not everything is serious and not everything (I think nothing, actually) should be decided by some one else. IMO.

"according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers"

if my browser automatically assumes missing an r in a domain name is phishing (without the domain being blacklisted somewhere) I am moving browsers.

What trademark exactly? just curious...

what prevents me (legally) to purchase a domain, make it orange, and manually aggregate news in it?

Assuming the content is not scraped, and no icons / logos are copied, can there be legal actions followed and if so on what basis?

exactly, this _convenience_ is a bit alarming, to me. but i guess, if it works, it works, until it doesn't.
It's a bit sad that we still see these kind of posts (no offense to OP, we all need to eat), but linked in is a cesspool of spam, and relying on it or even being eerie of not using it is demeaning.

How did we get to rely on a _platform_ in order to feed ourselves and our possible children or cats? (with so many options available)

the recruiters which _rely_ on a linked in link or on a PDF are usually generic anyway, mostly...

I am currently using nordvpn and my subscription is going to expire pretty soon. I have been thinking to switch to mullvad for some time.

apart from the price (nordvpn is cheaper) can someone please help me make a decision if to switch or stay with nord?

based on the comments in the thread I assume mullvad is better in terms of privacy, security and probably more.

in addition, I don't use streaming services so the netflix selling point does not apply to me.

thanks in advance!

I've done the same but for ~8 years thinking it helps me to deal with my PTSD. unfortunately while _calming_ it actually increased my paranoia, anxiety and stress.

I feel stupid to realize this after so much time, but quitting completely and focusing on a more healthy diet and exercise did the trick for me. it took some time but eventually I am weed free and feeling normal again.

it was a really strange feeling to realize how bad it is for me personally.

currently I puff on some occasions, with friends, but never at home without a reason, no paranoia, no stress and no _out of nowhere_ anxiety.
