Sam O'Nella made a video about this:

It's vim vs emacs of this generation. Vscode is vim and intellij is emacs I guess. It does everything.
IDEs are designed for humans. LLMs aren't human. They can analyze and process craptons if text in seconds.
> The issue is that their product is bloated and slow

I disgree. Use their ide on a 16gb laptop and never had any performance issues. AI is the problem. Openai and anthropic are eating their lunch.

Low pay is better than no pay. We still have a few decades before robots can do CPR.

Those datacenters are mostly cpu. LLMs run on gpus.

Well the camera only needs to work while the door is open. Stuff isn't going to magically appear/disappear while the door is closed.
Don't forget the unbounded liability that is the human condition!

After the 2004 tsunami, indian government sent helicopters to see if they had survived and they started firing arrows at the helicopter. It's possible that they think the foreigners caused the tsunami.

I'm not saying ending was perfect, but I can't think of a better way of ending it.

Speaking for myself, the music I was raised with doesn't sound that good to me.

I used to think I was pitch blind until one day it just clicked. It just takes practice in my opinion.

Oh right, I misread. GP is talking about reading, not listening.
