<p>Interesting point, but I'd always thought the opposite, you're much better protected by the law if you use services from your own country.<p>If you use a service outside your country, I believe you could have all your code stolen and get hacked/exploited in a way that would be totally legal.</p>

<p>There's just different types of programming, I also find that if I give a decent description of a bug an LLM will often find the problem, and that great in a system that's mostly legacy and hard to repro. LLMs are also good for quick small scale from-scratch projects.<p>But there's a middle ground where you're really have to build something out that's super complicated and performant. Or do refactors that have a high quality bar. Situations where code bloat really matters. LLMs tend to create crazy amounts of code, not really thinking through the broader system and taking system level in-variance constraints seriously.</p>

<p>I think there's a large subset of programmers now who consider null checking (or even the existence of null) to be bad, and prefer something else like exceptions or option types. I don't get it personally.</p>

<p>This looks to me like the issue is that Zed is using too many buffer objects, it should be querying the Vulkan context to see what's the max and sticking to it. So it seems like Zed's not doing it right, or maybe the AMD driver is failing to report it correctly?<p>It is a problem though, the GPU apis are pretty terrible. But with such large modern displays it feels important to have a GPU accelerated path. Maybe sticking with OpenGL would be better.</p>

<p>Vulkan, DX11, or Metal, I'm curious which environment has the ability render a GUI desktop but doesn't have access to a modern renderer pipeline. VirtualBox I guess?</p>

<p>Everyone talks badly about Cursor and it is kinda a piece of junk, but no, there's nothing that has the features of: being able to see agent diffs in an editor, seeing diffs inline in chat, be able to click them to jump to the code, and being able to click old chat messages to edit/fork them.<p>Those are basically my only requirements, and it feels like I've tried everything and they're all everything only has 1 of those features. Zed is the closest, it technically has those features, they're just buggy and have provider specific quirks.<p>So I'm stuck on Cursor until Anthropic invents IDE technology, or at least VS Code wrapper technology.</p>

<p>Yes, but I got a subscription because I was tired of alt+tabbing to the Cursor spending dashboard between prompts to make sure I wasn't over spending.
I'm ok if they slow me down for a few hours during peak usage. But getting cut off for 20+ days because I'm not thinking about the prompt cache for a bit makes a subscription feel pretty useless.<p>I was using it with Zed before, because I guess I'm one of the only programmers who doesn't just full vibe, which seem to mean I'm not the target customer for a lot of these companies who seem to be going all in on the terminal interfaces.<p>I've gone back to Cursor auto the last few weeks, it hasn't been too bad actually, I haven't managed to run out of the $20/mo plan yet.</p>

<p>Sounds really minor, but was actually a big contributor to me canceling and switching. The VS Code extension has a morphing spinner thing that rapidly switches between these little catch phrases. It drives me crazy, and I end up covering it up with my right click menu so I can read the actual thinking tokens without that attention vampire distracting me.<p>And of course they recently turned off all third party harness support for the subscription, so you're just forced to watch it and any other stuff they randomly decide to add, or pay thousands of dollars.</p>

<p>> The way it is now, I can modify web sites using extensions<p>This isn't related too directly to WASM, what you want is DOM rendering only, you would theoretically reject canvas and WebGL rendering I imagine. But you could create DOM nodes with WASM. The only difference is that WASM is not as easy to decompile, but I can't imagine you're really unminifiying and patching Javascript are you?</p>

<p>It might be that this is common with new tech, I'm too young to have grown up in the early concert scene. But with video games the curve was similar. People would show up just to see the tech and how much stuff people could put on the screen, It's only pretty recently that part has started getting boring.<p>I'd imagine similarly there were points in time where people who go to concerts just to see the electric guitars and lighting setups.</p>

<p>> No, nothing deserves this constant whining and crying day in and day out.<p>Why even try an start a conversation with that attitude? Wayland doesn't get nearly as much hate as Windows, Chrome, or iOS. But I guess literally nothing is worth writing an article that has the word "fuck" in it 7 times, because that crosses some kind of ultimate line?</p>
