Ooh, you're one of today's lucky 10,000!
Ink is a liquid that is sprayed in tiny dots and dries onto the paper, while toner is a powder that gets attached to the paper with electrostatic forces using lasers, and then fused to it with heat! It's a super neat process.
It's fun to have people around who read the friendly manual
I prefer Cole's law with my dinner
My wife is a reptile enthusiast and adored this fact
Honestly I felt the same way for a long time, until I decided to just learn the motions. Now I couldn't go back.
The combination of actions and motions makes it incredibly fast to edit code - Imagine you have a strong in double quotes that you want to change the double quotes to single quotes. There's a plugin called vim-surround that combines with the basic motions and with my cursor before or within the strong, I can just type cs"' and it's done.
Want to copy everything within a pair of parentheses? yi) ... So many things like that.
Even for editing things like HTML, `cst delete surrounding tag. That will remove the tag around some content without changing the content.
(Neo)vim is incredibly important to my workflow these days and it feels like I write and edit code at the speed of thought.
Bah, I just started using Neovim a few months ago and finally got my config what I thought was a good place, haven't edited it in a couple weeks, thought I was doing good.
Now I've gotta look at moving everything into something else. Fun.
It used to be for a while that i3 was dual core with hyper threading, where the i5 was quad core with no hyper threading, and the i7 was quad core with HT.
They're just preparing for one day when you have your own personal swarm of nano bots
In case anyone else found the claim of "all internet traffic" dubious - Some clarification: What they mean when they say "internet traffic" is not "internet traffic." They are referring to web traffic, as in the number of web page loads that occurred via HTTP and HTTPS, whether that's API calls or opening pages via web browsers.
That doesn't include traffic from other protocols (tor, VPNs, gaming traffic, etc), and only includes page loads from websites from which Imperva was able to gather analytics data.
Until someone uses a bunch of Google Voice numbers and gets each of them banned before someone a few months later happens to get one of the banned numbers and tries to sign up.
Only bringing it up because a similar thing happened to me; I got a Google Voice number and found out it was already related to a spam account on a site I wanted to use. Their support team understood and it had been like 6 months so they undid it but still. Bit of a pain.
That's terrifyingly good wtf
Not the person you're replying to, but my main hangup is that LLMs are just statistical models, they don't know anything. As such, they very often hallucinate language features and libraries that don't exist. They suggest functions that aren't real and they are effectively always going to produce average code - And average code is horrible code.
They can be useful for exploration and learning, sure. But lots of people are literally just copy-pasting code from LLMs - They just do it via an "accept copilot suggestion" button instead of actual copy paste.
I used Copilot for months and I eventually stopped because I found that the vast majority of the time its suggestions are garbage, and I was constantly pausing while I typed to await the suggestions, which broke flow state and tired me out more then it ever helped.
I'm still finding bugs it introduced months later. It's great for unit tests, but that's basically it in my case. I don't let the AI write production code anymore
