Zed. They've upped their game in the AI integration and so far it's the best one I've seen (external from work). Cursor and VSCode+Copilot always felt slow and janky, Zed is much less janky feels like pretty mature software, and I can just plug in my Gemini API key and use that for free/cheap instead of paying for the editor's own integration.

I just wish they'd release a debugger already. Once its done i'll be moving to them completely.

I think the issue with saying “make good new things” is that things themselves aren’t inherently good or bad—they’re just things. It’s the person who makes them that can be good or bad.

I have a saying (among others from my dad) that captures a similar idea: “Make things, and be good.”

I think it’s good in the sense of things that are positively affecting others’ lives.

Accepting a presidential pardon requires an admission of guilt. Would being a confirmed criminal aide them in business in any way?

allie1 · 9 months ago

For a crypto based business for something that crypto enthusiasts wouldn't consider a crime, probably would help.

Consistent here meaning, I guess, that all voting power will go to Sam Altman personally, right?

allie1 · a year ago

yeah, split with Microsoft.

The most surprising thing to me in this is that the non-profit will still exist. Not sure what the point of it is anymore. Taken as a whole, OpenAI is now just a for-profit entity beholden to investors and Sam Altman as a shareholder. The non-profit is really just vestigial.

I guess technically it's supposed to play some role in making sure OpenAI "benefits humanity". But as we've seen multiple times, whenever that goal clashes with the interests of investors, the latter wins out.

We haven't even heard about who gets voting shares, and what voting power will be like. Based on their character, I expect them to remain consistent in this regard.

"Shocking!" It's a shame that one of the biggest advancements of our time has come about in as sleazy a way as it has.

Reputationally... the net winner is Zuck. Way to go Meta (never thought I'd think this).

Much safer to stay away from Starliner. I’d even avoid a Boeing airplane on their commercial flights home.

allie1 commented on FAA orders inspection of 2,600 Boeing 737s over oxygen mask issue reuters.com/business/aero... · Posted by u/marban

Boeing has many problems, but this seems to be a case of everything working as intended. Boeing discovered an issue and reported it to the airlines, the FAA followed up with a directive mandating the inspection that Boeing already recommended. The issue in question hasn't caused any of the units inspected so far to actually fail to operate, but since it theoretically could they need to be fixed.

If this happened on an Airbus plane it wouldn't have ended up on the front page.

allie1 · a year ago

For good reason. Airbus hasn't be plagued by manufacturing defects like Boeing has .
