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.

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

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.

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.

Is it weird that I expected the post to actually have running examples?

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.

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.

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.

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.

not a science. joking, friend.

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

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.
